The finished product is great. The assembly wasn’t really difficult so much as dumb and made worse by the instructions. It took my husband and I less than an hour. Just be prepared to reinterpret the directions and consider flipping a few steps. I wish I had put on the decals for the ovens doors before putting the handles on. And put all of the brick decals on the white pieces before completely assembling that portion. If you do this in the order the directions recommend you sort of have to wedge the decals in. I also stabbed myself in the finger with a screw driver trying to get an unnecessarily long screw through an awkward placement where there was only a depression not an actual pilot hole. Fortunately my tetanus is up to date, there was no blood, and my son loves it.
