Cons:If I didn’t have a husband, with a drill and the extra drill part to put this together, It would’ve taken me 7-10, very aggressive business days.The pre drilled holes either weren’t just exactly aligned, straight, etc., making it almost impossible to do as instructed.I do wish, like with most equipment for babies this age, that there was more stability, less ability to slide, better footing. I myself though, am at a loss to find anything much better than what they provide. It tends to be about the positioning of it at different stages.Last, I am surprised, just slightly, about the more square edges of these pieces. I again, haven’t been able to find anything “better”, it’s just not what I’d expect. Please know they are pretty rounded and beautifully carved, my girl just may be a little dramatic when taking tumbles 😅Pros:Quality for price, A+.There really isn’t anything better out there without paying 3-4x the price. Even then, I believe this product holds strong next to them.The wood is perfect, the design is great, the overall value is wonderful.I believe using this successfully is about you, the parent, learning how to use it successfully too. These pieces are so very functional for various different play time activities, not just climbing.Seriously though, it would be hard and time consuming to put this together by hand as instructed. Pray for help and patience, totally worth it in the end.I know this will be in our life for many years!
