I've had this now for a couple months and my 30 lb Son has put it to the ultimate test. HE CLIMBS THIS THING LIKE A JUNGLE GYM,(he's pretty rough) and it's still standing. I took pictures with my sons little tikes slide to show the difference in size which is pretty great. BUT he STILL loves the little slide it comes with . It's easy to climb and he'll even slide backwards sitting down. (Theres a little grip to the slide so it doesn't just throw your kid down) He is 20 months old and absolutely uses this everyday. ALSO, because the instructions are a tiny bit funky take everything out the box. Lay it all out and LABEL IT AND COUNT IT before you even get started. I personally had all my pieces plus a couple extra. No issues. I assembled this by myself in about 2 hrs.
Pretty big box for sure. Ball pit took about 1000 balls. Plus I ended up throwing in a couple bigger balls he had and small stuffed toys. If you need something for your toddler to play on since going to the park is too dangerous these days , GET THIS.

I love how sturdy this is and the size of it, however, the instructions aren't very detailed so I had to put it together and take it apart several times which was frustrating. It took my husband and I about 2 hours to get it all together. It only comes with 50 balls, so we bought an additional 400 and that's enough for about half of the pit. Our son loves it so it was worth it :)

I decided after admiring the durability of this play set for a YEAR, it was finally time to leave a review. This thing has survived daily use from a rowdy 1 yr old (now 2 yr old), his cousins, and some 4 yr olds who climbed to the top bar and swan-dove into the ball pit. Sure, there are a few connections that are starting to feel loose, and the ball pit fabric is starting to rip, but it is still sturdy enough for me (a grown adult) to go down the slide. It has surpassed all my expectations.

But like the other reviews mentioned, you definitely need to buy more balls (we felt like 250 was about halfway full) and it will take some time, a clear mind, and a contractors license to put this thing together. (Kidding! Sort of!)

My 1 year old loved this as a Christmas gift. The instructions are pretty sketchy and it took me about 2 hours to set up, because several times I installed things incorrectly and had to partially uninstall it. Maybe that's my fault, but nearly all the parts are identical looking so it is easy to miss something.

Anyway, the actual function of it is great. The slide is great, the steps up to the slide are good for a toddler, and the little yellow mesh basket provides an inordinate amount of fun to a kid for reasons I don't understand. I have two drawbacks to note, though. (1) You are only given 50 balls for the ball pit. Once you dump them in, you'll realize that you need about 400 balls, not 50. You can pick up more balls at toy stores but that is going to cost you around $100 more to get to the right amount (i.e. having the pit half way full). (2) There is no way for a small kid to get in and out of the ball pit. My 1 year old just kind of stands outside of it and shakes the structure when he wants to get in. I don't know of a perfect solution, but I think they could have installed some kind of little step stool or something to make it easier for a small toddler to get in and out. I know that leads to a whole new series of risks, because then your kid could potentially climb up the step and then fall head first into the ball pit. Regardless, it is a small annoyance that my kid cannot get in and out of the pit on his own when he wants to.

This is a really good choice to have inside! My daughter loves it very much! It was just somewhat stressful with directions but I ended up getting it right eventually
