Upsides: We really love most things about the Eagles Nest. It looks great. We got lots of compliments. Our six year old likes it a lot. We've been having fun reading, blowing bubbles from the balcony, building legos, racing cars down the slide, and playing chase. 

Downsides: It was really hard to put together. My husband and I have never tried anything like this before and it took us five days. We made lots of mistakes and had to redo things. Based on other reviews we laid everything out and labeled them and that helped a lot, but it still took a long time. The other negative is that my son is tall for a six he's bumped his head on one of the support beams a few times- the one going out to the eagles nest. 

Overall, this is a really great club house but be prepared for a big project.
