At first the instructions were like reading the instructions for IKEA furniture. They were a bit difficult to read but once we got into the rhythm everything was fine. The rods are not metal as shown in the pictures. Made of hard plastic. So definitely durable, but not as durable as we thought. Some flexing is required when connecting, so I'm guessing they're plastic. The first image I shared shows 50 balls entering the ball pit. They cover maybe 1/4 of the floor. The 2nd picture shown is the back where the stairs to the slide are located. The 3rd and last picture is a top view of the whole set. (Note that we already bought about 200 balls before purchasing. The balls in the last picture are the 200 balls we originally had plus the 50 that came with them. I'd say 200 fills it up nicely.) The image in The List makes the balls much bigger and looks like they're filling a trash can. Which is misleading. The balls are the size of tennis balls and the product image makes them look like the size of a softball. I can say that the balls are of good quality. They do not deform when squeezed. They immediately return to their original round shape. My daughter is 2 years old and can get in and out of the pit by herself, go up and down the slide. Overall I'd say it was a home run for a gift. Wasn't disappointed except for the misleading picture and number of balls.
