Easy to assemble and the kids love it. Time will tell if it stands up to the weather, but initial impression is good. Hardware quality is average for outdoor play things.
If you follow the directions exactly there is really no place you can install the Seesaw. The list of "don'ts" and "before play checks" is so long that your kids would never be able to play with it. I'm sure the corporate lawyers had a big part in that.
Once we found a "safe place" to locate it and reviewed the required "pre-flight" checklist it was too dark for the kids to use it. So, we put it off until the next day when we could go through the checklist at sunrise. Next morning we got our flashlights and started...... All the nuts and bolts checked out, paint was not chipped, seats were solidly in place, the surrounding area was clear of all stones, acorns and loose grass (we did have to chase a bee), etc, etc.....
We were ready for step 2. We reviewed the safety instructions with all adults and children and broke for lunch. During lunch we reviewed the proper procedures with the children. The 4 year old understood a large percentage of the restrictions and was almost ready by the end of the day. Her 2 year old brother proved to be the problem, and without him there was no Seesaw, only a See, which means sitting on the ground.
On day 3 we set out to get the safety instructions clearly understood by the 2 year old. We made a small seesaw on the breakfast table and with the help of his 4 year old sister, who interpreted our instructions, we finally got through the preliminaries.
TIME TO RIDE...... with two adults on each end we carefully loaded the children on the seats. All went well for about 2 minutes. (Side Note: this thing not only Seesaws, it also rotates around the center, like a "merry go round"). Apparently the little one didn't understand that at the breakfast review! He decided to spin and lost his shoe!! This is one point that the safety instructions missed. He climbed off the device and stepped into a mud puddle getting his sock and pants wet and muddy. He laughed and dismounted. As he dismounted he also forgot the instruction about not jumping off when the other person is up in the air. No need to describe what happened next, I guess.
On day 4 we set out in a completely new direction. We let the kids play on it and they had fun. Yea, he lost his shoe again and they got really dirty... but that's kids. The Seesaw is great!

Fun to be had on the seesaw
This seesaw is made to last for years the fun bright colors makes it a fun outside toy to play on this seesaw will grow with your child for many years you don't have to buy a new one after a year or to because they are to big for it. This one has really good seats for the children to sit on and not fall off of also the handles are built so they don't come off and they have grips on them so children's hands don't slip off also the base of this seesaw is made just right so it can't tip over well you child and his or her friends are playing on this seesaw. Also you don't just need to leave it outside if you need something for your children do play on in the winter in the house bring this seesaw in. It doesn't take up much room at all it will keep your children busy on those cold winter days. When they can't go outside.Quite possibly the best thing I've bought on Amazon. the kids have been wear themselves out! Made getting them down for bed much easier. It doesn't go up but maybe 3 feet (which I like) but it also spins & they enjoyed that just as well.
