We researched a ton of play sets and this one had everything we were looking for. It will be perfect for our kids for many years. It was quite the task to put together but worth it. It’s sturdy, holds up in all sorts of weather, including winter. I highly recommend it.

We knew absolutely nothing about wooden playsets before this purchase. We shopped around a little online but not a lot. We found this one online and ordered it. Shipping was fast and we had planned on having the local store installers come out and put it up but we changed our mind and did it ourselves. My husband does not have a lot of carpentry skills or patience when it comes to things like this and we got it up with very few issues. My boys love it and will play on it for years!

Purchased for our toddlers (aged 1 & 3) for Christmas hoping it would grow with them for years. My husband and I assembled ourselves to save the assembly charge. There instructions were clear and’s mostly easy to follow. Many of the boards were not well marked and difficult to identify. After the first few days of assembly (we did this on combined work breaks, spending a few hours here and there), we ended up sporting the pieces by step (hardware and wood required step by step) and that made assembly slightly quicker. Some of the wood for there decking and walls warped and we had to make a few cuts to make it work. The lumber and hardware were not organized by anything other than fitting it into the boxes, so we opened it all at the onset of our assembly project. Our girls love this set and it is rated to hold people up to 150 pounds, so I feel comfortable playing with them as well. Great set, good assembly instructions, and not so great marking of lumber for identification. I would definitely purchase this again.

This was delivered 1 week after we ordered it! Wow!! it said like 3-4 weeks.. The delivery company was awesome! He even dropped it off in the back yard! it doesn't look like it would all make a giant playground being that it's only in 4 boxes but well see.. Its raining again today so I have to wait for a dry day to build it...pretty cool SAMs Club. Price here was definitely the best.

I bought this in Oct to avoid Christmas rush. It arrived in a week in great condition. We put it together after Christmas. It took 4 of us about 2 full days to put together. Having multiple sets of tools helped. We followed past reviews and assembled the sub parts first. It made day 2 go quicker. One of us gather the parts for the next step allowing 3 to assemble. It kept the build moving.

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.

Overall i must say it is a good value for the price. on the other hand, the saying "you get what you pay for" is some what true with this set. Even though this set is priced lower than other sets looked at, there are some areas where the manufacturer could improve. HARDWARE AND WOOD The hardware is on the skimpy side. Washers were breaking out of the bag, protective coating on hardware comes off. Wood is cracked and bent/bowed, right out of box. DELIVERY The delivery came sooner than expected. The only problem with that is they gave me not time to prepare. Delivery instructions say the delivery company will contact you a day before. Try 1 hour. Delivery company sends one person to deliver this huge pallet. Driver asked wife to help unload pallet since its impossible for him to do alone. Wife refused and driver was upset and on his way back. Wife had to ask neighbor to help. INSTRUCTIONS Even though instructions are very good, there are some areas where the instructions could be clearer. Where the orientation of wood is important for future steps, it would help to have all the features (holes/c'bores/notches) on wood displayed on picture. That way you can see which set of holes go to what end. On some instances you have to drill new holes, or take it apart and fix, causing frustration and more time. Took me 2 full days to assembly with my 7 and 11 year old as helpers. Once was completed, was worth every second, and cent.

I searched for a lot of swingsets and this one is the best by far in size-price. The wood is not the best at all but for the price I guess is what you pay for. Now the assembly is not easy, the instructions are not 100% right and sometimes you have to be intuitive as how the board should be placed, pictures do not help because some of the pictures are wrong too, but I guess instructions are about 90% correct. Before you start DO make an inventory and group all boards that have the same letters. Follow the advise of the other reviewers for inventory of boards, hardware, etc..... I hired 3 people to help me, and after all boards were accounted for and grouped, it took us 12 hrs to assemble. Two six hour days. If something is missing customer service is great.

It's been a year since we purchased and built the sky fort II and we couldn't be happier. The construction process was straight forward and the instructions were well written. Construction took a full weekend. Had a helper for the first day and everything went pretty quick even after by myself. Using multiple screw guns/impact drivers sped things up with not having to change bits all the time. My kids love the set and they will get years of playing out of it. Definitely something they can grow with. I absolutely recommend this. It does have a large footprint so you'll need the space. Very sturdy and solid! After 1 year exposed to direct sun the factory finish is starting to fade so it will need regular up keep on the water sealing but I think that's started in the manual.

My grandchildren enjoy it from the 2 yo to the 8 yo…. It is sturdy and looks great in our large backyard…The company was great, as it looked like it was going to sit in the delivery storage for over a week an hour away and we called to see if we could pick it up to get it done before the Holiday and it was on our property in 24 hours, and up our long driveway sitting by the garage which was great! I’m sure we will get great use of it over the next 10 years or so…it was easy to follow instructions and assemble and my husband did it by himself over 2.5 weeks just in time for traveling family …Thanks again, and several people have asked about it
