Honest review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great value for the price! Kids love it. But definitely wasn't made to support a adult. I mean it can. But it doesn't like it. Soft wood. Weed wackers chip at it. But just be careful. No real complaints. Just installation company is horrible. But not reflection of product company.

Kids love it!

We bought this swing set about a month ago. The grandkids have used it every day—even before going to school in the morning. They enjoy playing in the fort, having snacks at the picnic table, and all of the fun activities they can do with the various accessories (e.g. climbing wall, glider, swings, monkey bars).

Turned out great, some pieces were not

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this set earlier this year and its awesome! It looks great, the kids love it. However there was an obscene amount of different hardware that absolutely could have been more standardized rather than having 30 kinds of screws, 30 kinds of bolts. Assembly is not at all user friendly because of this. You spend 3/4 of the time trying to find the right pieces for each step. Also, it took enough time sorting all the pieces, wood and hardware, that they ended up sitting out for a few days until I could start and throughout assembly. During this time quite a few planks started to warp, crack, some way worse than others. It wasnt so bad at first so I started putting it together, by the end of it I'd wished I'd made a warranty claim but by that time I just wanted to get it finished. It looks good, the kids have fun, but assembly was made way more difficult than it could be, and the quality of the lumber was not great especially for the price.

Love it but....takes for ever to put together

I love it and my girls live on the thing. The only problem I found with it is that you need at least 4 people to put it together. It took about 48 hours total for me and my wife to do it. There's a lot of different size bolts for all the parts and you need a good system for organizing everything. Other than that nice peace. Good grade of wood and bolts. I recommend this to anyone who is looking.

This Skyfort is great, my grandkids love it. Well worth the money and time to put it together. Took 4 of us to put it together in a weekend. Don't rush it, read the directions. Lay all the boards out and hardware separating them by "letters" & "numbers" makes it a lot easier. If I needed to I would order another one today !!!

Love that my kids have this in our backyard!

We bought this last summer. It's time consuming to put together, but my husband and I did it in a couple days (4 kids so couldn't commit to long periods of time). Our kids absolutely love it! There are many features to keep them busy. The only negative feedback I'd give is that it's only been a year, and the wood faded a ton in that time frame. It will need stained every year. We live in windy Wyoming, so I don't think a tarp would hold up well on it.

Excellent Quality

We have had out Sky Fort for about a year and a half. We couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. When it arrived on a very large truck, we were a bit intimidated. However, the precise directions, clearly marked pieces of wood, and pictures in the manual made putting this together very doable for two adults. As for the upkeep of the wood, we have not had to maintain the stain color. The wood still looks as beautiful as it did when we put it together. The specialty hardware keeps the bolts tight and doesn't seem to need much tightening.

My children love it

We bought this play set last fall and have used it almost daily. We love the features, the picnic table and the crows nest. All of our friends children come to play at our house. This play set will last us for many, many more years. We paid for someone else to assemble it and I must say that was the right choice.

great swingset

the swing set is great now that it is assembled. the delivery did not go well and we had to go pick it up and that was a difficult process also. the assembly is much more intensive than I thought it would be it took four of us two days to get it done. no part of this set is pre assembled. some of the board were not marked very well and we were short some important screws other screws we had several extras. the quality of the wood and the parts is excellent our boys will be enjoying this for a long time.

Satisfied

For the most part we are very satisified with the timeliness of the delivery, the quality of the product and the assembly directions. What we were not happy with was some of the missing screws that we had to replace on our own. In one instance I was told at Lowe's that these are specialty screws, bolts, etc. made specifially for the play set so we had to improvise. That was a hassle.
