Arrived very quickly in 2 boxes. My husband referred to it as ‘a Jenga puzzle’ due to the numerous pieces however once it was constructed it is very sturdy and seems like it’s going to withstand changes in climate well. The girls seem happy in it and I like that it seems a very secure environment for them. All pieces arrived intact. I was going to go with another manufacturer that was more expensive but read lots of reviews where that one seemed to arrive on many occasions with broken pieces.
