We've had our set for over 2 years now and it was the best investment. So glad we got this over a wodden or metal set. The plastic has not faded at all, sturdy and great. My kids (now 3 and 4) started playing on this when they were under age 2 and even for toddlers it is easy to climb and safe. I just switched out one of the swings to a baby swing for my youngest and put the other swing back on when she was ready to use it. Now my kids swing like pros and play on it every single day for hours. I am a little dissappointed in the club house roof cover, it has faded and half has fallen off so I am on here looking for a replacement. Otherwise it is awesome. Someone mentioned slide height is low but i think it is perfect, anything higher and i think i'd be afraid my little ones would hurt themselves. My kids love to put the sprinkler on in the summer and swing.
