I bought this a few weeks ago and received it in a little over a week, ahead of the estimated delivery time by over ten days. We started unpacking everything (four big boxes) last week and then built this thing over the weekend. It took every bit of sixteen hours for two able-bodied adults to assemble, but it was not that difficult overall considering its finished size. The "chalet" in the top is big enough for me to stand in and I'm 6' 5" (2m) tall! The set is amazingly solid and looks incredibly impressive when coming around the corner to my back yard. The kids (three of them, ages three to seven) were busting at the seams to play on it today after school and play they did! This could easily keep six or more children occupied, which is great because we have lots of friends and family who also have multiple kids. Incredibly satisfied with this purchase. Easily buildable by adults if you have a good drill, necessary bits and some rudimentary framing knowledge (i.e. the 6-8-10 rule) to keep it square. Top it off with a level and shovel to get the landscape right and this is a project whose investment will pay off over and over for years to come! Buy it, build it and you too will stand back amazed at the most awesome kid's play set ever...I want to be a kid again!

This type of cedar is very very lightweight and has absolutely no density. I understand that is somewhat the nature of the wood, but then many of the pieces that are braces and supports should have been cut larger. Also, the stain is so minimally applied and easily rubs off to the point that it will be all over your kids clothes if you don't stain it properly yourself. I had to re-stain everything right off the bat. There's also no evidence of any quality control: excessively warped boards, boards of the same part number that are not cut to the same size, edges that are planes too thinly, bent screws and boards that split way too easily. It's like no matter how badly it came off the assembly line, they threw it in the box anyway. I also think that the engineering of the crows nest is inferior and will not be sufficient to support a 2 seat swing, which will require that you come up with some sort of modification to beef it up. I would go with another brand name that already puts quality in the box, otherwise you will just end up spending the extra money anyway on all of the modifications you will need to make.

Overall a wonderful playset. Very time-consuming to put together (2-3 days). However, it was worth it and our kids love it.

Very well made play set. Takes a while to put together so make sure you have the time and your kids are patient.

With 2 mechanically competent builders, it still took the time to build that it said it would. Great addition to our backyard, and we love it.

Our kids love this swing set. We hired someone to put it together so we didn't have to deal with that part.

Impressive quality of materials (wood, hardware, and accessories). Followed instructions and had no problems, but you must pay attention to details.

Sturdy materials and well braved for support. Easy instructions and customer service was great when called for verification. Recommend.

Its a great playset. The instructions were easy to follow and was had it built in about two days. Our son loves it!

Absolutely LOVE IT!!! Turned out to be the best Park Grandma could have in the back yard for the grandkids
