I bought this sports climber for my 18-month old to play on in the backyard.  It is very easy to assemble and is sturdy.  My son loves playing on the slide and climbing up the rock wall.  He LOVES the balls and enjoys putting the basketball through the hoop.  I recommend this for anyone with a child around the age of 18 months.  Some other outdoor slides I looked at are smaller than this slide, and not as sturdy.  I'm so glad I found this one!
