After spending days assembling this structure and having to fix broken wood pieces we were so excited to see the joy on the grandkids faces only to discover the slides get incredibly hot when the sun is shining! I know some of you are saying “well slides got hot when I was a kid”and I agree. BUT I know from having a different brand of playset for my kids that not all slides get hot in the sun. I’m so disappointed and frustrated I’m at a loss as to what I should do.. disassemble the entire set and find a way to return it? Or keep it and have 2 basically unusable slides just sitting there taunting my grandkids every sunny day? Very disappointed!!!!!!

I’m a licensed builder with over 20 years experience. Took me two full days to put this together by myself. Other than that I don’t have too many complaints. My kids love it. Make sure you unpack and sort everything before you start assembling. It will save you loads of time in the long run.

The wood damages easily. Took 18 hours to put together. I feel it's cheaply made for the cost. Definitely small for older kids.

Great play set

Awesome playset

I will start off by saying that my 3 year old has had no problems and is quite happy with this swing set that we got him last summer. From a parent's perspective however, assembling it is not easy and takes a lot of time & patience along with knowledge of building or engineering. Once it w as set up it was good but wood is pretty flimsy and after one very mild winter it looks 10 years old and the steps, monkey bars, etc. are chopped and splintered and will have to be fixed or replaced before child can use it. Canopies also all fell apart before last summer ended and the screen windows are so thin bugs landing on it tears it. For amount you pay for it it's pretty disappointing.

This is a great play set for the price! It did take a long time to put together, about 16 hours. We had 2-4 people throughout that time working on it. I highly recommend doing an inventory before doing anything else. We used plastic cups to put the screws and nails in, and taped the bags to the outside. Easy to find them and keep track that way. We had no missing parts and nothing was damaged. Shipping was much faster than expected. They did deliver it outside of the time we scheduled, but my husband was able to leave work to sign for it. I think the instructions were slightly confusing, but not terrible. My 3 year old daughter is obsessed with this thing! Also, note that the sides do get hot in the sun. Ouch! Overall, I'd recommend this set.
