When this castle arrived it was everything the good reviews said it was; beautiful, folded up nicely, and kept my 4 year old daughter busy for a long while. However, after a week of light play, for a child who takes care of her toys, the wood started chipping and peeling off. I mean, she could have gotten a terrible splinter. So very disappointing!!! I would not recommend it now. It is too bad because it really does have nice features and it is very pretty.
