I wasn't sure this wasn't going to be a cheapy toy but I was fairly impressed when I opened the little bag it comes in. But I nearly went to set it on fire while I was wrestling with the damn thing while putting it together. You need two people. It's incredibly frustrating to do it yourself but I was determined and besides, I'm terrible at asking for help. Anyway, I finally got it put together and I'm sure it will make a lovely gift for three little boys I know. Oh and it's much bigger than I thought it would be. Put it together outside if you're going to have it outside because it was too big to fit through my door once I got it put together in my living room.
