This great castle / palace is now since 5 months in my 4-year-old son's room. She was already carrying around, repeatedly disassembled on the towers was sitting (!) And they were hergeschlörrt behind. Everything has survived this super stable part and still looks good. The structure is easy to do if you have understood the principle once (really not difficult). We have just painted parts thereof and leave the rest so. Looks great and embellished the kids! You should make sure that the castle is really as great as described. Children can crawl under, and stand in the middle. Enough space must therefore be present. Fun is guaranteed and the shelves are my son now as candy hiding :-))
