What is involved in "some assembly"? Are the wood dowels secured or might they slip out of the rope?

The dowels are already secure, the rope is fed thru a hole in the dowels. Assembly would come in deciding how to attach the top and bottom since the rods shown are not included.

The net and dowels are a complete unit. The "assembly" involves drilling 4 holes in the overhead beam to accomodate the upper eyebolts already attached to the net ropes. More significantly you will probably choose to ADD a 4x4 lower beam to existing structure to secure the lower end of the ropes. The included directions cover this well.

The wood dowels are secured, but you will have to fasten the top and bottom to the play center.

I believe it was only the top and bottom wood pieces that needed to be secured. Im pretty sure the small wooden step areas were assembled alredy. We are not the ones who opened the package nor installed any of it. Im sorry, we dont have direct answers. Another place to check i to is any local preschools. They have to update equipment every so often to be in accordance with the law. Therefor the equipment may be up for sale. Good luck

No assembly required for the cargo net and dowels. The rope goes around the dowels for support and through the dowels so they dont slip out. The only thing you will have to do is secure the rope to the boards it will hang from using the directions.

There are grommets on top, sides and bottom and all shhould be secured. 100 ties may be pushing it a bit; I'd get another 100 at Home Depot (about $7) if I were you.

Yes Margaret, this item must be assembled. It was not unreasonably hard with the proper tools and an extra set of hands here & there!

We didn't have any problems with assembly. It was very sturdy. We did treat the wood with teak oil prior to assembly. It is holding up nicely. We have it in a covered patio, so it isn't exposed directly to the weather.

There is some assembly required but it is very straight foreword.It helps tho if you have an extra set of hands to help you hold it while you are screwing it all together.

Yes, there are slots at the end to be able to put them on a dowel or string.

They are glue packets. You can put the glue in the holes prior to inserting the dowels to keep them from turning.

None! It's great for a guest space, with no assembly required. Other than wheels\casters.

The black dowels go in the side panels and are used to keep the drawer from falling too far forward. Sounds like the other reviewer did not put the unit together correctly, since mine is very sturdy.

The only thing that needs to be assembled is the legs. And we didn't actually put them on so that it was lower to the floor. I can't imagine they'd be difficult to attach.

They are not dovetailed. They are assembled with glue and staples. Thank you! KBC

Dowel is for a perch to be mounted inside the coop. Not sure about the triangle.

Yes there is assembly and you need two people to do it. When finished it is heavy and beautiful but I don't feel the hardware you are given is heavy enough. I've had problems with the back staying on.

I have given 2 of these as gifts and have kept one for myself. The ropes are good on all. Even so, I just checked mine and the rope is attached by a heavy duty staple on the under side of the above platform.

I don't remember having problems with the assembly, but maybe that's because we had instructions. Google "Step2 Naturally Playful Woodland Climber instructions" and you will have your choice of written instructions from Step2 or videos from social media. Good luck - this is a fun product.

No. Assembly is well instructioned but don't forget the location of the magnets when putting in the doors on the front. The don't come out easily but it is possible to unscrew the magnet and relocate it.

Apologies in advance if this seems idiotically obvious, but I would screw on a frame of selected 2X or thicker lumber and attach to that. I would cut so any knots would be away from attachment points.
