After reading other reviews, I anticipated assembly of slide to be a pain.  It was not.  Included screws for joining two halves were long enough.  I just had to be a bit patient.  Written instructions were clear and sufficient.  I did use a longer screw to attach the bottom of the slide to the sunken anchor, but it would not have been necessary.

The slide looks great, and it is a nice addition to our elevated playhouse.  My daughter loves it!  

It appears durable.  The 250lb capacity must be for several small children; the width of the slide precludes it's comfortable use by any adults I know.  

The slide is FAST.  The curve is sufficiently banked for safety, but plan to have a good sized landing area.

I recommend this product without reservation.
