When I first took all of the pieces out of the box, I thought to myself this is going to take quite a long time! But honestly I was able to put it together myself in under 4 hours, while enjoying some hockey! My girls woke up the next morning excited to see what I had put together, and they were both so happy to see the finished product! All of the materials were packaged really well so there was no damage to anything, I wasn’t missing anything, and the instructions were pretty easy to follow! All in all we really loved this purchase, and look forward to seeing all of the new products that come out!
