We bought this for my 5 year old and 2 year old. They absolutely love it. I love it because it doesn't take up alot of space in the yard. The boys call it their fort - of course, no girls allowed. It was simple to put together, definitely a two man task though. The only con I have is that I wish it was a tad bigger for the house and width of the stair case. Regardless, the boys love it, so win-win!
