We are loving this climbing structure! My kids are 3 and 5 and constantly climbing on things, but we don't have room in our backyard for a full playset. The Explorer has a relatively small footprint, but keep in mind you will need a couple feet of grass or other soft surface in every direction for safety. The platform is about 4 feet high, so I would not put this on a hard surface like cement. It comes with 3 big stakes to put in the ground so it doesn't fly away in the wind. The structure is stable - it does shake a bit, but it would be very difficult to make it tip over. It is rated for 100kg (220 lbs).
Assembly: it took 2 adults (with 2 children playing nearby) two hours to assemble. The only tools needed were included in the box. The instructions were pretty good, but could have been a little more specific. We weren't sure which side of the pools should face out or in. We ended up making the sides with the dimple face inward to make it the nuts a little more flush. Also, the first step is to find one unique piece out of a bag of 50+ other parts. Literally like finding a needle in a haystack. They could package that piece separately so you start off on the right foot. It would also be nice if they included 1-2 extra locking washers. We ended up 1 short in the end. It may have fallen in the grass.
Quality: overall, I'm really pleased with the quality. All the metal parts are painted and I found no imperfections at all. I think the paint will hold up really well. Even when some of the pieces clanged together during assembly, the paint didn't scratch or chip. Each of the bars that go horizontally have soft plastic caps on end that seem to make it more safe (no sharp ends). The platform has 4 large loops on each of the 6 sides with heavy duty stitching. The tent part has tons of velcro strips that attached it to the frame - another safety feature I'm sure. It keeps the tent in place so a kid doesn't lean against it and fall through.
Shipping: it took a long time and several calls to Amazon Customer Service to actually receive the package, which was super annoying, but not a ding on the product itself. When it finally arrived, the box had damage in one corner (see photos), but nothing inside was damaged or missing. The shipping box is smaller than I expected - roughly 3ft x 1ft x 4 inches.
Fun factor: Our kids have been having a ton of fun and really using their imaginations to play! The structure has been a rocket, a garage for bikes, and an ice cream shop. They love to tie a rope to the frame and pull themselves up while they climb. Its just the right size for 2 kids to play at the same time. We would love to get either the monkey bars or the slide that are pictured on the box, but unfortunately they aren't available in the U.S. yet.

* It is sturdy and stable. It comes with stakes to hold the jungle gym in place; however, we did not find they were needed because it is so solid.
* The manufacturer (made in the U.K. and France) paid attention to detail. Each piece has rounded corners with clear rubber corner covers for safety.
* The directions are clear and assembly is easy. It took two adults two hours to assemble the play structure and one adult less than an hour to assemble the jungle run.
* The blue cover is easily removed for play without the "capsule." The capsule can be accessed from two sides that open and roll up and have velcro tabs to hold in place at the ceiling.

Taking a lot of space but kids love it. Not sure of extension installation
Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2023
I got this for 3, 4 year old instead of ground level playhouse for Christmas. The installation was not bad. Naming indivual part with masking tape was a huge help. I was going to put aside but had to place in the center of the lawn and as you see it's taking all space. Kids love it though and has their nook when they go outside now. Because it's already taking a huge space not sure adding the jungle run.
