well ihave the previous version to that which is blue, we have had it 3 or 4 yrs? and its survived my four boys and still gets played with by my youngest three who are almost 7yrs, 3yrs and then baby dd almost one. i love it, and so have my kids and all their friends who come round to play, it fits just nicely in the alcove under our stairs, which would be a wasted space otherwise.
think we got it on offer as well, it was easy to put together and has def been worht the money. the ohter one i would consider would be the ikea one, but we dont have an ikea near us so it wasnt an option.
very happy with out elc one tho. so if its as good quality i would say yes and i have looked at the new one in a shop recently and it looks just as good :)
