Purchased in DEC 2009Our 1.5 yr old daughter was climbing and sliding on it, in the first 5 minutes and still uses it.Friends kids who visit use it as well. Keeps the kids busy and active.The "curved climbing wall makes it easy for kids and you don't need to help them as you would with inclined stairs.I didnt even put the screws in and it is sturdy enough.I live in Toronto Canada [...] im glad i got one when i did.
