great product

This was OK to put together. Put it together all by myself took three days. On the third day I finally organized all of the Nuts and bolts by page that helped a lot. Also, the boards that go straight on the second level really need to be drilled better.

Kids love it!

Excellent! My husband and I worked on this on weekends and nights. It came in four large, heavy boxes and I sorted everything according to each step. All wood and hardware was there-nothing was missing. Instructions were sometimes tricky to read and we had to disassemble a few times. But the finished product was amazing for the price! Our only complaint is the bolts and nuts just don't go together well. The maker should invest in better quality nuts and bolts. So happy it's done!!!

It’s an ok set

Overall the swing-set is ok. Quality does not reflect the price of this. The slide is very cheaply made. Two sturdy pieces of plastic with a thin flexible piece of plastic run down into the groves. 1st day the slide is broken when my 8yr old about 55 lb child went down. We will be reinforcing the floor board for the play house as it doesn’t seem that sturdy. Putting it together was fairly easy but time consuming. 2 pieces were mislabeled and the roof that came pre assembled had too thick of a piece of wood that we needed to shave down. Not huge deals. Only thing I’m really disappointed in is the slide and wish it was higher and a sturdier quality for what we paid.

Good idea, poor quality and attention to detail

This thing is huge and looks like it would be fun if I were of age. However, upon building, it was missing over 6 pieces of wood. Had to go to home depot for wood and stain and try to match the stain which didn't work out so well. Wood seems hollow. Even a medium setting on the drill will sink the bolt heads almost all the way through. Once it's together it is pretty solid, but you have to make your own pieces. And for the cost, you would think it would come with everything. Next time I will go to Home Depot and have them make up the plans and buy the lumber from them and build it. The cost would be close to the same and the quality would be MUCH better.

Looks Great!

Purchased this playset from Sam’s and from purchase to set up was perfect. Playset delivered and installed within 2 weeks of Christmas with no issues. The techs even replaced a broken piece without me having to do anything! Kids enjoy playing on the set just wish it had a 2 person glider instead of the handle bars and it is smaller than the picture but overall a great purchase with no regrets,

waiting game

Our swing set is to arrive today, yay! We can't wait! The only problem is waiting for installation! I just called and its almost a month wait. The operator was very nice and wrote notes that we needed it by a certain day. Arrrggg, can't wait to have it already :)

We love it!!

We love our new Skyfort II. We have had this swingset for about 9 months. My girls who are 1 1/2 and 3 have enjoyed it almost daily. We chose this swing set over others because we wanted something with monkey bars, a picnic table, swings, a slide, and a "clubhouse", this set offers all of that plus a glider, a crows nest, and a sandbox. Overall we are soo happy with this swingset and would purchase it all over again if we had to. We recommend it to all our friends as we get so much use out of it and with so many different things to do on it, multiple kids can easily play on it at the same time. Perfect for families with multiple kids.

Do not buy installation

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!

Nightmare to assemble!!

Parts don't match up, 2 of the same parts were different sizes in length.. Parts individually marked, but, almost impossible to read. Had to saw, shave, add extra screws here and there . Directions are mostly pictures with no words of explanation. I've built many things in my life and this was a headache. Finished product appealing and kids love it. It took 3 weeks to complete though!!
