We’re about 2/3s of the way done with this play set. I don’t think there’s a single person alive who feels like giving a five star rating during the process of setting up a play set like this. It’s exhausting and hard. But given that, my husband and I have done a pretty competent job and we are absolute idiots with this kind of stuff. Definitely a first for us, so feeling good about it is impressive. The directions are really clear. The pieces are labeled really well. Our next step is that curly slide which the other reviews mention being the worst part. But so far I’m super surprised at how competent of a job I feel like we’re doing given that there are about 1 million pieces and 2 million different screws, washers, etc. I’m really excited to see the finished product !!!
