I wanted to try this item because it would be perfect for my 2 year old little girl due the limited area we have for flat ground at our home. It was very easy to set up, took less than 10 minutes, which is always a plus! Once it was done, she climbed right up the slide and absolutely loved looking out the scope! I didn't realize that the product came with that! Needless to say, my husband and I even were playing with it! I would highly recommend this product. I am a staff reviewer and received this item as part of a sampling program.
