This is A LOT to assemble. If you have one person to sort and two strong adults to assemble, you will do well. Our grandsons (2.5 yrs and 1) will enjoy it immensely for several years, however, it is not sturdy enough to hold up to "big kids" for the long haul.

Just wanted this set for the " house" sections for my daughter, who wanted an elevated, multi room playhouse. The price was right, as most playhouses cost a small fortune and only have 1 tiny room. What's with that? Used the slides and climbing walls with the house. Also relocated many of these features to where I needed them. Left the Swingset portion off completely. I screened all the windows and openings, since 1 lurking spider warrants abandonment! Screens really work! Had professionals build which took them 10 hours! At $600. to install it was so worth it. It would have taken me (a mom) 6 weekends to build! I had plank floors built in as well, which helps with the rather flimsy construction. I had to laugh as it was being built. It is much smaller than you expect, almost comically small. Walls, floors, roofs are thin and actually quite flimsy. Plastic slides are also very thin plastic. Not top quality materials as i have had with past play sets. I would not feel comfortable with any "chunky monkeys" climbing in and around this. Anyway my kid loves it, especially the tube slide! For a kids playset, even adults consider it good looking. As you'll see I had fun really "pimping it out"! I'll expect 3-5 year lifespan with the drainage gravel which I trenched around the structure. Ground level materials are always the first areas to rot. Good luck to you!

The directions were terrible. We had to hire two builders and it took them 3 full days. All the parts were that went together were in different boxes. The wood was Brocken. It was way smaller than looked in pictures. It’s cute but very cheesy. Lucky if it lasts a year. Very disappointed for the money I paid. I’ve always had very good luck with Sams products. This was terrible.

This is an amazing play set! It takes a long time to put together and is not for the faint of heart! It's a big set but the instructions are very clear and easily marked. I have a 4 and 6 year old that are in love and can't get them off of it! We searched for a long time to find the biggest, most affordable set and would defiantly purchase again! I uploaded an almost complete version of the play set!

Good quality. Some variability to integrity (significant warping, knots, cracks, etc...) that did not alter build at all. Time to build estimates fairly accurate for someone of moderate familiarity with building wooden kits. Playset is awesome and kids flipped for it. Best deal out there and I shopped it. Shipping is a joke. Geriatric guy in a semi by himself with a 10' pallet that broke in the middle when he tried to put it on the lift (it weighs 900lbs) If you're super handy, strong, have a friend the same, and a ton of patience go for it. Fun build.

We bought this last June for when our grandchildren come over. We have 10 grandchildren under the age of 5 and those that are big enough just love it. It's much smaller than it looks in the picture, but it seems really sturdy. My grown sons play on it with the kids. The wood is quite soft, so my grown sons have to be a little bit careful. We are running two water lines to it next summer. One will be placed at the top of the tube slide, so the kids can have a water slide when they want. And the other will run to the little sink. We will put a bar sink in in place of the plastic sink and have a drinking fountain in the little kitchen area.

Shipping was faster than expected. My husband helped me frame it. And i did everything else solo.The instructions aren't very specific and every thing needed was in a different box (8 total). It was helpful to lay everything in piles by shape and size and organize the nuts and bolts. After some frustration, we realized we needed a few more parts. We contacted the company out product number was no where to be found on any box, but we went off the manual and got the 3xbags things we needed. We have a lot of extra stuff that wasn't required. It's been 2 months and it is sturdy i, 145lb female, can and do climb up to clean out the clubhouse. The wood is thin, borrowed a hole of two and the hardware got striped aa few times. But over all its a good enough for our kids 2,5,6,8.

My husband did most of the assembly by himself so it took a little longer but well worth all the work. Our 2 year old loves it! Yes the assembly was extensive but this thing is crazy complex! We didn’t see any issues with the quality of the wood like some of the other reviews said. We are very pleased with the purchase!

This is a nice swing, but takes forever to put together. It took my husband and I 34+ hours to put together. So sod the items were mislabeled. The screws that come with it break easily. We put on the stakes with the screws and then a day later I saw them on the ground. The screws literally broke in half. We have had this about 3 months now and the same thing happened to the screws that attach the slide (1/2 the screw is stuck in the wood where the pre drilled holes are, and we are now going to have to make our own holes in the slide). The screws broke that are holing out took on too. We have just been having to go buy more heavy duty screws at the hardware store as we find the broken ones. The kids sinks have no drain hole and will hold water when it rains. Overall though the kids love it!!!

I would not buy this set again. Wood is soft. A lot of missing parts, specially hardware. I ended up just going to the hardware store for the pieces I needed. I will have to mention that when I did have to call for parts (more than 4 different times) the company did send the parts quickly. I purchased another set (Gorilla brand) for my grandkids about a year ago for their house and was very pleased with the quality and value. I cannot say the same for this set. The set is supposed to be for kids up to 10 years old. I would disagree, my 4 year old grandson has trouble going through the tunnel without hitting his head. I would not purchase this set again.
