The play set is a hit with my boys! They are crazy and hang and jump all over the set and it seems to be sturdy. It was a great price for the quality. It took a little while to ship but everything came in good condition and it had all the parts it needed. My husband stained it again for extra protection but it seemed to have a stain already on it. He was able to put it up himself over a few days and said it wasn't very difficult. We are very happy with the purchase!
