Purchaced for my 4 yr old daughter. 8 yr old sons loves it too. My 12 yr old is really almost too big, but he doesnt care. Overall very good quality, very strong and sturdy product. Goes together fairly easily. I am a moderately skilled do-it-yourselfer and took me 3.5 days basicly by myself. Some help from my 8 and 12 yr old sons. Holding pieces while I bolt together and fetching parts for me. Two skilled people would be maybe half the time. After all playset is big and good quality so it will take some time to assemble. I highly recomend inventory all wood parts and spread out in the yard. Makes it much easier to see if you have any missing parts and easier to locate next needed part during assembly. I was missing 2 boards one P1 and one SC4. Called company and no problem to ship out FedEx 3 or 4 days. (Free of course) For the boards I was missing I was able to complete assembly and install when parts arrived. Instructions were pretty good, need to be more specific in some areas. (Helps to read, not just look at pics) There is really no fabrication with this set, but I did have to trim a couple of small boards on the ends of bay windows. (I am picky and a analytical) I highly recomend pre-fitting swing beam A1 when installing B8 and K19. Also make sure to level playset on the ground and level all main beams. Use soap to on lag and wood screws. Set does need a good wood sealer and is recommended to do it annually. Set should last for a very long time. (Small kids should easily be able to outgrow the set before set would need to be replaced.) Like I said overall good quality and very sturdy. I am 200lbs and it hold me fine when I play on it too. ;-)

This is a great playset. My son loves it. As far as the difficulty of the assembly, it does take time to assemble but very worthy the effort after seeing your child's reaction to palying on it. Directions are straight forward. I was missing a pack of wood screws, but never used them ( directions never called to use them). Great customer service. I do suggest inventorying the four boxes that is shipped to you. Over all, very satisfied!

I bought this a few months ago and have been very happy with my purchase. My kids and neighbors kids play on it constantly and havnt had any issues. I see it getting lots of use for many years to come. Also in glad I paid extra to have it put together. The whole process was great from start to finish after getting it.

I purchased the product mid April for my daughter's birthday. Once the product arrived I began to open the box to inspect the swing set. At first glance I notice that one of the main swing beams and a support brace had been slightly damaged but wasn't worth me replacing it. After sorting out the pieces I realized that there was 9 pieces missing. These missing pieces prevented us from being able to assemble the product. After calling the company to have the pieces shipped they informed me it would be an additional 10 days before we received the missing pieces. In the mean time I had to keep the wood out of the weather to prevent any warping of the wood. Not exactly what I had in mind when purchasing the product. We finally have the swing/play set assembled; 21 days after placing the order. We felt that some pieces of wood did not seem very strong or durable as the previous wooden swing set we bought 8 yrs ago. When placing the wooden screws with an electric drill you will want to do this with some caution because the wood is easy to splinter. My husband and I will be shocked if the swing set holds up for 5 yrs.

I bought this set earlier last year and it has been a wonderful edition not only to our backyard, but as a facilitating activity location for the kids. This playset is great during all kinds of weather and can make for a great time getting some exercise with the kids. It was fun and a little challenging to put together ourselves, but that was to be expected. Overall, a great purchase to consider!!

I bought this for my 4-year-old for her birthday and she can’t get enough of it! However, to our pleasant surprise, our 9-year-old and 12-year-old are having just as much fun with it as she is! Nerf wars, pirate ship, treehouse, it’s ignited their imagination! Glad I paid for installation! Worth the money! I’m impressed with its durability! Wish the wood were already treated.

Our two girls (ages 2 and 4) love this playset! It has everything we wanted and they won't outgrow it anytime soon. Although it was a lot of work to put together (took me and my father-in-law about 2 FULL days, working pretty much nonstop), it was well worth it. We didn't see any others that even compared to this and we did a LOT of research. And the customer service was great, we had a few imperfect boards and they shipped us new ones, free of charge, right away!

We bought the set and received it in 3 weeks. It had all the parts and the wood was in great shape. While it took us over 20 hours to build, the directions were straight forward. My 4 kids (ages 8-1) play on it all together with friends and have plenty of room with room to grow!

I set aside the weekend to put it together... it took me 22 hours by myself. Descent quality materials and easy to assemble. I spent most of my time just sorting through all the pieces. All in all, a good product for the price. Only downside was I had to hand tap all the barrel head nuts. They should look at upgrading that particular item.

Have had it for over a year ago now and it has been worth every penny. Kids absolutely love it and can spend hours in the back playing whatever sparks their imagination :) I'm one happy Mom! We've stained it in hopes that will protect the wood and last longer. Also, only have had to tighten screws every few months just to keep it safe but that's about it.
