This is a great swing set. Very thoughtfully designed. There are stairs in the back of it to get up to the platform in addition to the rock wall. The wave slide is great, and longer than many other swing set slides. I positioned it directly on the grass with no base or shredded rubber underneath. Works out fine for my 3 year old daughter. And we connected our baby swing that we had to one of the swing attachments. The swing hardware is well engineered- you can twist it loose with you hand to get a swing on/off. I hired two guys to put it together and it took them a day and a half. Note also that everything ships in three boxes that are approx 10 feet long by 18 inches wide and 6 inches deep. The boxes are somewhat heavy and you will want to have two people bring them to your backyard.
