Put this together 2 weeks ago and my son will enjoy it for years to come. Upon opening the box, 2 things came to mind: wow, the wood smells good & OMG there’s so many parts. It’s took 2.5 people 2 full days to complete it, but it was so worth it. My neighbors came outside to say how pretty the play set looked. It’s so nice, has rest features and seems very durable. A word of advice when assembling is to layout and organize the parts by part number. That was extremely helpful.

This swing set was successfully put together by my husband and three family members. It took a total of 15 hours to assemble...I had all the wood pieces laid out in alphabetical order for easy and faster assembly. I also had all screws/bolts/etc laid out for easy access. Multiple drills also helped the assembly process speed up, as one would charge they would use another. I have two girls and they LOVE the swing set and we can hardly get them in to go to bed at night. The monkey bars are a bit too big for my 3 year old but she will grow into them eventully. We had a birthday party and 10 kiddos had the times of their li es running all around playing on it. The quality for the price is amazing!! I would definitely buy this product again and recommend it to others! The picnic table is perfect for crafts and tea parties! The clubhouse and crows nest are very spatious!!

Crows nest is his very favorite part. He wants a shower and toilet in it now. He plans to move into soon. He's looking for a bed to fit it. We built small sections of flooring to cover sand box area to keep local stray cats out of the sand. We also closed off the wall by the monkey bars. Only problem with the set is the monkey bars are way to high for kids. We added a spinner swing where monkey bars are until he's a few years older.

This is a great swingset for our 2 children- ages 2 and 4. Overall we feel like we got a fun, quality swingset for the price we paid. It shipped fast and we had it within a week of ordering. We originally paid for the installation part but the company Sam contracts with (Go Configure) cancelled their appointments 3 times within a week and a half. After being on the phone with their 800 number and a local manager for over an hour total along with the cancelled appointments, we were fed up with them! It took 2-3 weeks from when we had the boxes at our house for the first appointment to get scheduled too. So after a month of having the boxes we decided to do it ourselves! It wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. The pieces were all labeled and the boxes all had inventory sheets. I was the part finder while my husband (and father in law for 6 hours) put the pieces together. Overall it took my husband and i one 10 hour day (with my father in law helping for 6 hours) and one 6 hour day with just my husband working on it. So not nearly as long as the website says. It definitely helps if you have some power tools though! I would definitely recommend this to a friend but DO NOT PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION unless you want a big hassle!

I finished putting this together for the most part, and took another shot at the slide. The slide, in a word SUCKS. The design is so difficult to execute. It requires getting a long, difficult to bend piece of plastic into a groove along the slide wall. And then do the same thing again. I tried with like 3 other people at one point. I tried at least three times, and we couldn't do it. When we called the company they wanted $160 for a new, unassembled slide, and another $100 for shipping. We needed more pieces of wood because some were not included and some were cracked. It took nearly a week to get me the parts. By that point I had gotten pieces made at the local hardware store because I couldn't put assembly on hold that long. These totally turned me off to the company and I would recommend you do NOT do business with them. The set itself is great, and my kid loves it, but I certainly do not ever want to buy anything from them ever again.

Make sure all pieces is separated and accounted for and follow the instructions and everything will go well. Allow yourself an entire weekend with help to put it together. With that being said it was well worth the effort! We had a birthday party the next weekend and it accomadated and entertained 10 kids ages 10-3!!! After looking at many playsets this was the best for the money!! It is very sturdy if put together correctly.

We researched many playsets and this one came up as the most afforable and kid friendly. The wood looks sharp abd the play area is big. We thought the online pictures were photo cropped to make it look bigger, but after installed it was large. We hired some guys to come put it together and they did it in about 10 hours. Our kids like it a lot and we would buy again.

Two complaints only. Some of the hardware was a little soft, make sure you start every nut and bolt by hand. I think we only cross threaded a couple so not a big deal. Hardware was mostly torx and we did have a few strip out. Two of the “steps” had boards with offset holes in them and the directions were not clear of the holes should be inside or outside. I would like to see measurements to double check the spacing of the holes. Almost every hole was predrilled and things went together as they were supposed to. “Santa” brought ours so we were putting it together at night. Started in the garage one night with Rock wall, ladder, monkey bars, etc. Basically took three nights, I would say a solid 8 hour project for 2-3 people. We took our time and a couple GOOD cordless drills help. Kids love it and it seems very solid.

The delivery was fast from date of purchase. The directions are a bit overwhelming. At times they are not clear ( such as which way the holes go, and how certain pieces fit together) and you don't realize it until you are putting it together. It will take 2 adults to put it together if not 3. My best advice is when you are putting it together go through the book and see which pieces fit together so you know which way the pre-drilled holes go on certain pieces. Even better advice pay someone else to put it together . Not all our pieces where In the correct boxes as it stated in the directions, but we did have everything. Which can be frustrating. It is a good buy, and the kids love it.

We purchased this set for our kids, 3 and 6mo. My 3 year old LOVES it! I know that will last the time test and they will both enjoy it even more as they grow. We did purchase 2 baby swings to hang for the time being and had to put a board over the entry way for the monkey bars since my daughter is not big enough for that feature yet. The only negative thing about this set is the assembly. We ened up paying a local contractor to put it together which was still better than my husband trying to tackle the project himself. Overall I am very pleased!
