This was quite the project to build. I managed to do most of it myself but needed help with the slide and attaching the swings section to the playhouse section. Took about 12 hours for me to construct over a few days. One of the floorboards didn't fit properly and I had to have a friend cut it down on their table saw. The slide was difficult to attach. I also had to buy a toddler swing separately. My daughter absolutely loves it though so it was worth it!
