It's easy to assemble. I did it myself in less than 2 hours. I had trouble with anchoring it down though, I think it's because the dirt is a bit off, (I just moved to this home and am learning a lot). So I have an averaged sized 7 year old and a small 9 year old ( both same height)… It seems just the right size for them but I adjusted the swings higher. They love it so that is what matters.
