Very easy to build. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Parts are well labelled and clear. There was a scrape on one of the pieces which was disappointing but as that part was going to be against the wall I didnt worry too much about it. The long bar across the top is a bit of a hazard so you need to be very careful children dont swing on it as it would snap. All in all I'm very happy with the product for the price.
