We recommend two or more people for assembling the PlayCentre. You may find it easier to make up the tower components horizontally before raising them upright. You will need some tools for the assembly. In particular, 13mm and 17mm box or socket spanners, a drill with Phillips driver, level and tape measure.
Note: wood is a natural product and as such is subject to the moisture content of the air and ground. Sometimes cracks or splits may appear, but this will not result in weakening of structural stability.
