Nice swing set.

Bought this about 3 weeks ago but just got around to building it. Instruction need more information about where the extra holes on each board should be facing. Had to run to Lowe's and buy more 2 1/4" screws to attach the roof. Called for 14 screws and we only had 4. The t nuts often stripped out. My wife and I built it and it took up 27.5 hours.

Super instructions

We bought this for our grandchildren and they love it! It does take a few days to assemble, but the instructions are easy to follow and the pieces clearly labeled. With all the hardware sorted and labeled it was no problem to find what was needed. We have already recommended this to a friend.

Kids love it!!!

Purchased it about 3weeks ago for My kids as a birthday gift! It arrived 1week before the date given to us! Good:came earlier then expected Bad: they let me know one day before it arrived it was going to be delivered and be left in front of the house husband had to leave early to take it to back yard. My husband installed it! It looks great! Kids love it! Only thing bad about it which is nothing major but the microscope keeps falling since we first got it and it came broken. Was cheaply made. Other then that it’s great! Would post a picture but keeps saying error

Great once put together!

This is a great set. The only reason I give it 4 stars is 1. Because it took us 4 days to put together! 2. Some of the wood was already flaking and cheap. There were so many different bags of nuts and bolts and some wood pieces were not even labeled. Also make suuuuure you watch hole placement I don't know how many times we put a board on just to take it off and flip it around! I do feel its a little cheaply made but it will work for its intentions. Looks great in the yard and our daughter loves it.

Skyfort II Wooden Swing Set

Webpage is very friendly and easy to use; shipping was delayed due to COVID but the delivery was very good, the crew came and left the boxes out of our garage. Instructions were fairly easy to follow, some can be actually improved with some preparation prior to assemblying some parts (such as "tighten AB screws and leave them for step x..."). Some parts came with some splinters we had to take care and there were some wood panels that tend to break while thightening the screws; some nuts were defective and couple of joints slipped so we ran out of a particular screw and nut. Ordered those thorugh the website chat and staff was super friendly, replacement came promptly in couple of days. I would buy another product. We really like the features included in this set, very complete and fair against the price, and we really like the customer attention.

Complicated to put together but worth it!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for my grandchildren and it was a job to say the least to put together. Glad it's done. The only problem that we had was we were shorted 4 pieces of the bottom deck rail and I've been having trouble trying to reach the company and waited on hold for over 20 minutes.

Be prepared for a lot of work

This is a great play set. Boxes are organized and comes with an app to help. My husband put this up BY HIMSELF. One person. And he completed it in one week. Said Hallelujah when it was done lol (side note, he works full time and worked on this in his free time. 2 guys or more and it would be done in a weekend) Watch youtube videos for tips

Great swingset

Bought this for my son who loves it. The directions are a little lackluster. They set comes with some tools to use but doesn’t tell you to use them anywhere but there are definitely places they should be use. Overall it’s a great swingset. Took me 20.5hrs to put together by myself. Use an impact driver it will save you time and having to replace bolts that get stripped from screwdriver and regular drill.

My kids are 7and5 and they absolutely love it soooooo much it does feel weak like other reviews but once together pretty solid the other thing is the screws and bolts omg soooo many bolts beat bet is leave all the wood planks in box and in the screw box got papers on each part in each box which would have made it easy but I toke all of them out but other than that can't get them off of it

Takes an expert to put together

While this set is great quality, the assembly process is a nightmare. The instructions are not clearly written/diagrammed and we spent a majority of our time taking apart pieces that we thought were right according to the pictures in the instructions. We ended up with holes in the floor boards that weren't supposed to be there because the instructions were so bad.
