Everything worked when we checked it all out. Unfortunately, there were no instructions included. We are taking our whole order to a family reunion, so we'll make sure that all parts are covered in bubble-wrap. I think the adults will fight with the kids over the lighted airplanes. The box arrived really smashed in, but even though no type of packing material was used, everything was in good condition. If the weather is good and it doesn't rain, we should have a lot of fun with the airplanes and badminton set when the sun goes down.
