We bought this back in October. It arrived in the promised time allotment with all the parts! It took about 48 hours for one grandpa to assemble (that would be 5 days!), but the instructions were sufficient. The grandkids (ours and the neighbors), ages 2-10, seem to love it, and it has the appropriate safety precautions. An excellent product and a labor of love and anti-inflammatory medications.

My complaints are of the adult kind, so read the whole thing. I bought this a year ago and there are already signs of wear. For the price I expected a more sturdy product. The wood is a cheap type of pine it bends while the children are playing on it. I have a 4 and 2.5 year old and when they are up in the sky fort part it is umsturdy. I have a 12 yo niece and she said she was afraid the floor was going to break under her feet. When she got on the monkey bars the wood creaked and bent she thought that would break too. Adults should not get in this house. So if you enjoy playing with your children this not the play set for you. I would have spent the money on a play set that has better quality materials . Otherwise a good product because the kids like it.

We bought this online and had it shipped. Upon receiving, I took inventory of everything in each box with the included parts list. It made it a lot easier to have everything laid out when building. The instructions were easy to follow which was very nice. Be extra careful to match the pilot holes with what's on the pictures. The two issues we ran into were with improperly drilled pilot holes and some missing hardware. Once we figured out the pilot holes were wrong (especially on B5), we just measured and drilled them out ourselves. We ended up running to the local hardware store for the lags and bolts that were missing here and there just so we could get everything finished. Now that it's done, it looks beautiful and the kids love it!

I bought this play set for my grandchildren. Had it assembled.The quality is great! I would put together myself next time. have put 2 other styles together and it was very easy. They have so much fun playing on it. There's adventures every time they use it. Quality is great and easy to put together. This is my third purchase from backyard Discovery. Highly recommend!

We bought this about a month ago. We have six kids, from 10 to newborn. All of the kids enjoy playing. They spend hours on it everyday. Imagination station at its best with this swing set. We've had pirate ships, a restaurant, school, princess tower and volcano all out of this play set so far. Lots of fun being had here!!

We bought this set last year and truly we could barely find anything in stock because of Covid. I knew it was gonna take us several days to put it together, and it did. But we planned for it and everything fit perfectly, we weren’t missing any parts, & the final product turned out great. Our kids love this set, play on it all the time, and I’m hoping it will last until they’re too big for it! Right now our kids are seven and eight years old and it’s perfect for their size.

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!!

We bought this as a combo Christmas present for our 3 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter. It was delivered to our driveway in perfect condition, and I had the parts sorted over the next 2 hours. I constructed the fort 99% by myself in about 34 hours. (The remaining 1% were times when I dropped something while working from the upper floor or crow's nest and my wife stepped in to grab it, hah). The material quality is excellent - I see no reason why this would not stand up to the 10+ years of play I expect to get out of this as our little ones grow into fully using all parts (e.g. monkey bars). The only knock I give against the Skyfort II is that the golden/brass materials used in the swing connections (for decorative purposes over the otherwise black bolts?) were a bit soft. I stripped the ends of 2 gold/brass bolts trying to get them to bite into the gold/brass lock nuts, and there was only 1 spare provided. I was easily able to buy replacement (harder material) bolts on Amazon since all parts are labeled with their specs, but it was annoying to have to wait to "complete" the swingset. As you can see in the pictures, the trapeze had to wait until I had the bolt. Otherwise the only other "complaint" is that you need very level ground - for example making the final connections from the crow's nest to the main building. I had to add bricks under the swing-side support to take tension off these bolts and secure them. I'll have to add dirt over time to level the yard.

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.

My husband is a contractor so he built this himself. It look him about a week- a several hours a day. We are happy with the quality and look. The only feedback I would give is that the slide is not a solid piece, it's like a thick piece of plastic inserted into two slots.
