We’ve had this play set for a year now. We live in Colorado, so we’ve got a dry climate. This wood set has not held up well at all! It is cracking, creaking, the door has already fallen off. The top tarp covering has been ripped to shreds because of wind and poor material. My Children have also told me that the ladder is starting to give them splinters. We even have younger children 5, 3.5 and 2, and this play set has not stood up well! Honestly, save your money and spend the extra to buy something better.
