Good buy , let's see how the winter will affect or not

The only reason this does not receive a 5-Star rating is packing and shipping. The pieces (almost 1,000lbs of them) are packed in 8 flimsy cardboard boxes that were totally destroyed by UPS Freight by the time they arrived. Additionally, UPS Freight only delivered 7 of the 8 boxes orginally and told me that the 8th box was just consolidated into one of the other boxes. Only after I pointed out that the missing box contained the Tube Slide did they admit that perhaps they lost it. After waiting for 72 hours for UPS to investigate the missing piece, I got the great news that they found it and were delivering it. The next day I returned to a box on my doorstep that looked like it had been run over by a steam-roller. Great Offer Stock to the rescue and a new Tube Slide was quickly shipped out. Unfortunately this whole process meant that the entire playset was not delivered for about 1.5 months despite being "in-stock" when ordered. The damaged piece was UPS Freight's issue, but the flimsy packaging is the product's - thus I subtracted one star. On to the product. I consider myself a somewhat handy person and found the assembly to be fairly straightforward and the directions easy to follow. I assembled without any assistance - even with the swing beam assembly. It did take about 12 hours in total over 2 days - but the end result is completely worth it. High quality wood, sturdy construction, and the kids love it.
