The product looks just as pictured after setup and my daughter loves it! I personally did not do any installation, that was 100 my husband, he was able to complete by himself in 2 full afternoons working from lunch until after dinner. He said the worst part was the instructions referenced letters or numbers that did not match what the label stickers of the individual pieces had. So if you can figure out that puzzle with the bazillion pieces it came in that the project wasn’t so bad! 
The playset is sturdy and smells lovely with the fresh wood. It shipped out approximately 2-2.5 weeks after the order was placed and we were not missing anything and there were no broken pieces. Great buy!
