The finish is lovely. The pieces are well finished and the item is really sturdy. It is very cumbersome to change the shape.I got this for my 11 months old and she loves it. Soooo fun to see how much she enjoys it!Sooo much funMuti functional, can use as easel, climbing and table, very good quality, reasonable price, my daughter really like it, will keep shopping with this seller.Box and product came partially damagedVery stable climber for little kids. The instructions was a bit confused since it only provides one shape installation information.Not really easy to assemble if you use the tool came with the set. It takes time.Not easy to transfer if you need to change the shape from climber to dest/paint board. You will have to disassemble 1/2 of the joint parts and reassemble it.And I can’t find the slide board for the climber on Amazon. The seller should make a link separately or combo sell the slide with it.This is really easy to assemble and it's very solid and sturdy for active toddlers. Easy to adjust and change into whatever whim hits - from art to climbing, even just a lunchtime table! This also folds up for storage when not in use. A very practical educational item.We loved that this had multiple uses unlike most of the other choices we came across. We were looking for a Pickler triangle to begin with however in order to set this up in that fashion two more connecting pieces would be ideal to really secure the top of the triangle. The other downside is that in order to actually fold it to put away, all of the connecting pieces have to be removed which is time consuming. :( We live in a small apartment so the folding option was also what we wanted. Sadly this takes up a large footprint and doesn’t get put away at the end of the day like we had hoped.
