Although this is an extremely early Christmas list buy, i am so happy the way it looks. It is very sturdy. The only assembly is to set the tall tower part into the nested spot, or it can be used as a separate guard shack and the string for the draw bridge you will have to tie off yourself, which is easy as pie. It comes shrink wrapped and is well packaged. i think i am more happy then he will be.
My son is 8 and this will more than outlast his imagination. :)
