— One trend [in playsets] is away from screws and hinges and toward designs that fit together. This reduces the damage that can occur during shipping, and also prevents injury to children," Eric Meade of Top Shelf Holdings told
TDmonthly. "Many of our Heritage Playsets have NO screws at all; They assemble in minutes just by slotting together, yet they are very sturdy once assembled. " 4/25/2006
