Everything was easy! I think the only thing missing from this item is that the durability could have been a bit heavier. The ball pit began to unravel at the seams after the first use. It has not disintegrated but is just beginning to separate. We didn't receive any warranty, but I believe if you buy this along with the product, you can get a new one! It was definitely worth the money we paid and we use it every day! Our kids can play for hours! Very funny!
