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!!

No issues with ordering, delivery or assembly. Color coding the bags and instructions would cut a lot of time off the installation. It took close to (3) 8hrs days to assemble. Recommend applying stain before assembly. After one season the factory stain was very faded and some spots were bare.

I set aside the weekend to put it together... it took me 22 hours by myself. Descent quality materials and easy to assemble. I spent most of my time just sorting through all the pieces. All in all, a good product for the price. Only downside was I had to hand tap all the barrel head nuts. They should look at upgrading that particular item.

We’ve had ours for about a month. It took my handy husband a day and a half to put together. We have kids ages 6months , 2, and 11. The 2 year old and 11 year old have a blast on it. I love that they will be able to to use it for so many years. Looks great and has all the essentials!

Ours girls are 7 and 9 and are rowdy, so we were looking for a play set that could last them a few years and withstand how hard they play. They LOVE the monkey bars (in my opinion it's the best feature of this playhouse because kids love them so much). This set has so many different things to offer and my husband was a huge fan of the interactive set up instructions (instead of the normal paper with very little description). Shipping was great and the price was very comparable to a lot of other "lesser" rated models from other places. Will be repeat customers for other products from Backyard Discoveries!

This product was great! My kids love it and aside from the 3 full days it took me to put together, it was a breeze. I was missing 1 single floorboard, haven't been able to get it from them yet, but am making due with what i did get. We are very pleased with the playset and after it was assembled, it actually looked like the picture!!

We bought this swingset for our 4 kids, it took us about a week to put together only working on it about 3 hours a day (during nap time). Our kids absolutely love playing on it and they never want to come in the house. Children around the neighborhood even come over and ask to play on it. * One thing we were a bit disappointed about was with the hardware. The lag screw heads stripped out easy and for the dining/picnic table it caused problems because we couldn't get the screw out so our table is now crooked, but still functional.

This is one popular structure! Almost everywhere we looked was sold out and then found it at Sam’s Club. If you want it built quick I recommend splurging and paying for assembly. We ended up paying the guys that are doing our remodel to put it together and ended up the same as the assembly option. It took them a week to do it but granted they hadn’t built a play structure before. They did a great job however and even stained it for us! We love it! Highly recommend!

Important to line out all parts and fasteners in order, even if it takes a few hours. Went together very well, step by step. I would consider assembling the crows nest completely on ground first. Bolts 090 or 091 may have been mis-labeled, but no biggie. I used ratchet straps to put the slide together by myself, and to keep the frame square during assembly. I hammered in 3' metal post to use for anchors due to high winds in my area. Intend to use green labeled Thompson Water Seal to spray on. This took me 5 days to casually assemble by myself.

This swingset is awsome! I looked high and low for the perfect swingset. I didn't want anything that was cheap and made of cheap material that would only last a year or so but I also didn't want to spent $5,000-10,000. The SkyFort is very sturdy and has plenty of activities. The only thing I didn't like was that you have to step in the sandbox to get to the play area underneath. However, two year olds don't need to play in sand anyway - it'll get in their eyes, ears and mouth - so I also bought the wooden floor to cover the sandbox and have more of a play area. I contemplated getting some help to put this thing together myself but after I inventoried all the boxes and saw just how many pieces there were...I changed my mind! I paid the $$$ through Sam's to have someone install it. He and a helper started at 8 am and by 6 pm they were done! We hope to have the swingset for a long time so I have water sealed it and put a safety zone around it. It is fabulous!
