text: Bought this for my children to play with, all under the age of five. It has held up remarkable well despite repeated use and is aesthetically pleasing to boot. The only difficulty, putting this bad boy together. Plan to put some time aside to follow the picture book instructions that appear to have been drawn by graphically challenged individuals with cataracts. Also, to increase the sturdiness of the wood pegs (used to hold certain pieces together) I used wood glue. All in all, good little set up. Would definitely recommend.
