We bought this for our daughter's 4th birthday at the begining of November. She absolutely loved it and plays with it every day - even though she's just got a lot of Christmas presents. Its easy to put together, although you have to have a bit of strenght to slot it in places, but that's what makes it durable. What i also liked about this product is that its the right height. Others i have seen would have meant that four year olds would have had to bend down or sit on the floor - with this she doesnt.
