The colors are fun, and the structure and swings are very sturdy. We will see if it rusts over time, but it has done well for a few months so far. I replaced the regular swing with a bucket swing for my toddler. The slide is terrible, it is not a slippery surface so it is slow and boring, even for my 2 year old. Due to the hole positions on the poles, this swing set cannot be effectively staked down. Even if it could, the included stakes are incredibly flimsy. So it moves during use, and requires constant supervision because kids could absolutely end up tipping it over. I will probably upgrade to a wooden swingset in a year or two.
