This is a great for little kids. Amazon recommends from 3-8, the product instructions recommend from 3-6. I'd go with the product on this one. My kids are 3 and 5 and this is great for them. Anyone bigger may think this is rather dinky. Otherwise, it was easy to assemble, sturdy yet easy to move around the yard, and the kids love it.

My husband and I bought this for our 2 kids 4 and 2. The 4 year old climbs on it much more than the 2. It says it holds up to 150lbs. I'm not too sure about that. It seems that even when my 40lb 4 year old climbs on it you can see the bars flex a bit. The kids do have fun with it, and it was a good price, but I think if I was going to purchase one again, I probably would purchase one that holds a little more weight, and pay the extra money.

While somewhat challenging to put together by myself (I started the bottom with the parts pointing the wrong direction and had to take it apart and start again. The directions could have been clearer), this has been a good choice for my 7-year-old son. He has some sensory and vision issues, and this helps ground him when doing speech or even vision therapy. It also helps build upper body strength. And it can be used as a small fort and in other imaginative ways. It is sturdy and holds a few kids at a time (It even hold me and my husband, but at separate times, of course).

Beware of pinched or bruised fingers when putting it together. I would recommend two people to help with the last few pieces. I ended up almost standing on one end to force it together. I suppose a larger person would not have much trouble, though (I'm only 4-11). The sore fingers were worth it, though. And it is light weight and easy to move around.

Bought this for our basement for our 20 month old, 5 year old & 8 year old.

Really for the younger two as the age said 2 to 6. Well it is not huge or even big. but i knew that from the diminsions. our ceilings are only eight feet and it fits just fine. it was easy to put together, and to move all around, its light! It seems to be great quality, we have used it everyday since christmas! All 3 of my children are all over it, we have twin 7 year old nieghbors who are on it all the time and christmas visitors with children from 2 to 9 were all on it. About three kids at a time. I am 5ft, 6inches and weigh 125lb and I climb and hang from it. This thing has never creeked, showed any signs of strain or any issues what so ever! Good buy for the basement. remember it isnt huge!

Contrary to a few reviews earlier, this product is more sturdy than it looks. My 2 sons (2 and 6), and their two cousins (4 and 7) were all on this product at the same time, with no evidence that it was under strain. It would take serious abuse, or maybe weathering over a few years to make this product start to break down. I have only had for a few months, so we will see how it works next summer, but so far, so good. For the price, You could buy another one, and still be ahead of the game or better yet, move up to one of the models that cost hundreds more, and are made of steel.... However this model is great for what it it... inexpensive, small monkey bar for a 1-7 year old.

We've had this jungle gym (although the manufacturer calls it "monkey bars") for a year and a half, and have three small children (5, 3, 1). This has been a nice addition to our yard toys and I'm glad we got it. Not my favorite item, but worth the money and we've gotten lots of use out of it.

Things I like: Not too big; the bars are just the right width for little hands to grasp well and I like that they are plastic (this didn't get too hot to play on in the summer); Very lightweight and easy to move around.

One thing I don't like: A couple of the rods have popped out and one we can't get back in. It is thankfully in the side area (where the see-saw would go) so it's not crucial to holding up the jungle gym.

This was easy conceptually to put together, but I couldn't do it by myself. At the end, you really need two people, one of them being pretty strong! And it does take awhile...an afternoon project.

Also, I would buy this for young toddlers and let them grow with it. My 5-year-old still like hanging around on it but it is mostly too small for him to get excited over anymore. You would get more bang for the buck getting it for a very young child or early toddler. My youngest was able to use this while she was just learning to stand...she could stand and hold on to a bar and feel like she was one of the big kids! And then when she was learning how to walk she would just go around the whole thing, holding on to the bars. Most 2-year-olds can start climbing on it.

We get lots of questions about where we bought this and kids are always drawn to it when they come over. Not too many people have a jungle gym so that makes it extra special to the kids!

My son is 6 years old and he still loves this toy. It took about 2 hours to put it together but it is worth it. My only complaint is that I wish it was a little bit bigger. I would love to be able to extend on to it as he gets older. I thought about buying another set just to make it bigger but I am not sure the money is worth it.

I'm a stay at home mom of 3 who was looking for some decent play equiptment. I put this together by myself in about an hour and a half, it was pretty simple. My younger 2 love it! (my oldest is 9, and thinks it's a baby toy) but I have a 6 and 4 year old, it's the perfect size for them. Fairly sturdy, I think they'd have to be purposely destructive to break it. I'd recommend it to other parents with young children.

Boys 4 & 5 yrs. enjoyed it for a couple days. sun faded it shortly after setup. was easy to set up. make sure you insert earth stakes to keep it from toppling over.

This is a great toy but my hands are killing me. It took three adults, some hammers, a screw driver, and an hour of work but the kids are loving it!
