Review on Create An Outdoor Wonderland With The Step2 Woodland Adventure Playhouse And Slide For Kids by Michael Harden

Was a little skeptical ordering this because of the low number of reviews and a couple of bad reviews. However, we had no issues with assembly and our daughter absolutely loves it.The instructions suggest average assembly time at 6-8 hours, and that seems accurate. My wife and I worked together and it took us around 6.5 hours. None of it was particularly challenging or complicated, there are just a lot of pieces. Building it again a second time, maybe we could do it 30-60 minutes faster. I was very impressed with the quality of wood and hardware. If there's any complaint at all, it's that the roof alignment could be marginally better. To get the roof aligned well, it takes someone applying quite a bit of downward pressure when screwing the two pieces together.Plastic pieces are not pre-drilled, but drill locations are clearly marked and are extremely easy to drill out. Per one of the other review, I do not understand how you could break a drill bit on the plastic (or the wood for that matter). We did not have any missing or damaged pieces. The full set arrives in 5 boxes and seems appropriately packaged.The assembled product is very sturdy but light enough that we built 95% of it in our garage before carrying it out to the yard and attaching the slide and ramp.We caught this on sale from 20% below the normal price, which made it an easier purchase decision. Given the quality of materials and the joy it's already brought our family in 2 days, I could stomach the full price.Assuming all the materials arrive in good condition, don't let the other reviews scare you away. Yes, it does take a long time to assemble, but it should be straight forward for anyone with a moderate DIY skill level and some patience. My wife, daughter, and I are extremely happy with this purchase.
