Purchased as gift for 4-year-old granddaughter.   She loves to climb and swing and slide so this set is perfect for her now and for a few years ahead.  Her dad and uncle did the assembly so I really cannot comment on that part except to say they made some modifications as to placement of accessories like steering wheel, and assembly took longer than suggested time.  The finished product is sturdy and well-made.  Even some adults have enjoyed it!
