My son plays on this slide every single day. He got it for his first birthday and has loved it ever since. It is so durable and sturdy and holds up great to the unpredictable Pittsburgh weather (rain, snow, sun, wind, hail.) This looks as good as the day we got it. It's so versatile in that it offers "rock climbing" instead of a ladder, and they are able to climb under the slide to play or hide. It's small enough that we can bring it in when the weather is cruddy and use it in our house. I have no complaints about the slide and would highly recommend it!
