This was an amazing backyard playset for our little girls!  The instructions were very helpful, although there are a few steps where you have to look very closely to make sure you're using the right parts.  Ours came missing a few screws and KidKraft sent a replacement within about 5 days.  We chose to paint all our pieces to match our house, and it ended up looking amazing!  Our 2-year-old has been playing in the downstairs kitchen every day and just loves everything about it.  We substituted out one of the swings for the Fisher Price swing and it works really well.  Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a set that's not too big but has a lot of functionality.
