We bought this a year ago and our kids love it. There is lots to do, and it's fun for all of our kids. On the downside, the set came with many split and broken boards, and the wavy, multi-piece slide is not the greatest Also, one year later the stain is in obvious need of a fresh coat in areas, although we had planned on staining it yearly anyway. My husband assembled this himself, which took about 40 hours, so expect a lot of work! It is sturdy and strong, though. Overall, the kids and their friends love it, and we are satisfied.
