I ordered this for my sons 3rd birthday. I set it up in our basement. You definitely need at least 2 people to put it together. My husband and I did it in about an hour and a half. I recommend looking through all the directions before you begin so you know what to look forward to. We didn’t do that and had to re-do a couple things. Overall the set up was very straight forward and pretty easy. My son is loving it so far.
