The shipping box arrived in good shape. I reviewed all of the boards and contents and found that all arrived and were in excellent condition. The instructions were easy to follow- but you do have to read them (several times for me). Every screw, bolt, washer, t-nut, etc. is numbered and separately packed, which made them easy find and use. It’s the perfect size for smaller backyards and for small children. The assembled playset is very sound, sturdy, and looks beautiful .Theres nothing better out there for this price point so we would recommend it
 Excellent product. The only con I can think of would be, larger children may not enjoy it quite as much as it is a bit on the smaller side for wooden playsets
