We purchased this playset for our four year old son. He had wanted a playset for some time. We did a LOT of research for about 6 months and then finally pulled the trigger on this set. We are very pleased with the final result! It's a very attractive set, not too big, but not to small. The footprint we had was the biggest struggle but this was exactly right for our space. Assembly was intensive, but we were prepared for that. Followed the advice of another review, opened all the boxes keeping parts aligned with box and organized all the screws, bolts, etc. We did purchase different 3' metal anchors instead of using the provided wood ones. We get some good wind gusts and weren't taking any chances. That set isn't going anywhere!!
