I purchased this last Christmas for my just turned 4 year old daughter and she is still playing with it and it is still standing. The durability of this product is much better than others I have purchased. She is not easy on toys and neither is her one year old brother. My daughter will play with this castle for hours with her Princess dolls and Barbies, and even my 9 year old daughter will join in on the fun! Easy to put together and the theming is excellent!
