I've had this playset for a year and it has been great. The quality is better than other playsets we looked at. The only problem I've seen is with the age of my kids, they are 3 and 2. My 3 year old just recently figure out how to climb the ladder and my 2 year old still has trouble once she gets to the top. The transition from the ladder to the top is a little far for small kids so be careful. I am hoping to find a different ladder to put on until my kids and nephews ads a little older.
