Thank you for viewing. This item was sold in 2013 and is now discontinued. Assembly instructions are included. No outer box. The parasol and pole are broken! Returns or exchanges are not possible, even if there are oversights or errors. If you have any concerns, please let me know in the comments before purchasing. I will pack it compactly for shipping. It's a used item that has been played with a lot, but I'm offering it for sale because I'd like to pass it on to someone who needs it. Thank you for your understanding. LEGO type: LEGO Theme/Series: Friends
