nightmare to assemble

I've assembled everything in our household for nearly a decade but this was perhaps one of the most, if not the most, miserable assembly projects I've ever had. The entire nut and bolt assembly mechanism is extremely tiring and really really hard to do in the tight spaces you have to do it. You're literally holding the bolt with pliers while screwing. The instructions were terrible. I had to re-do several things because the instructions weren't clear. And most steps were just plain painful and laborious- you had to put a lot of weight on things and hold them just so to get them to align right for a bolt. Both my husband and I worked on this for at least 6 hours, cursing and screaming the whole time. Towards the end, the middle bracing bar twisted out of shape as we were trying to assemble everything and put it into place- but it kind of didn't matter since the whole wasn't aligned with the thing it attached to anyway! And it's metal, so it's not like I can easily drill another one.It's also not super stable. Works well enough for our 35 lb toddler but definitely would not work for a 110 lb kid - which is the weight limit on this. Too easy to make it topple. And on top of everything, they tell you not to put it anywhere where it can get wet because it'll rust! Unbelievable!

Pros
  • Awesome slide. Kids love it, safe and easy to put together.
Cons
  • Can attract pests such as mosquitoes or rats
