We’ve had our Canyon Creek set for almost six months now. I’d say if you have the room, take out all of the pieces and line them up. Make sure they all look good before starting. We had a few that needed replacement and they got them to us quickly no questions asked. My husband and I set it up in a day and a half working at a pretty good pace. I think having too many people to help could get overly complicated. Anyways, my daughter loves it! She loves playing with the bbq and swinging. Glad we have a play set here at home for little play sessions that don’t requiring packing all the snacks and getting to the park.
