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.

It did take a while to put it together and it was frustrating looking through all the boards to find them all since they are not banded together according to board # they are all just in random boxes. That part takes a while. But now it is all finished and my 3 year old son loves it. So that is all that matters. Fast shipping and all the parts where in 4 boxes.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the Skyfort II for my granddaughter's birthday. It was the perfect gift that she absolutely loves. It's a solid playground with Great workmanship! The installers were quick and professional. I'd recommend the product to anyone in search of a high quality play area for their kids!

We bought this about a year ago. While it was quite a task to assemble the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The set itself is very solid and there is plenty for the kids to do on it. This playset is very well built and well worth the money.

I finished putting this together for the most part, and took another shot at the slide. The slide, in a word SUCKS. The design is so difficult to execute. It requires getting a long, difficult to bend piece of plastic into a groove along the slide wall. And then do the same thing again. I tried with like 3 other people at one point. I tried at least three times, and we couldn't do it. When we called the company they wanted $160 for a new, unassembled slide, and another $100 for shipping. We needed more pieces of wood because some were not included and some were cracked. It took nearly a week to get me the parts. By that point I had gotten pieces made at the local hardware store because I couldn't put assembly on hold that long. These totally turned me off to the company and I would recommend you do NOT do business with them. The set itself is great, and my kid loves it, but I certainly do not ever want to buy anything from them ever again.

definitly organize and inventory the boxes. We were missing 23 boards from our playground, but the company was very pleasant to deal with and had our missing pieces to us in 3 days. we are almost done with assembly and it has been 13 hours, definitly a good weekend or long weekend project! Very nice looking product, well worth the money!

Great for the price! Some of the finish started peeling off within the first week, so that was disappointing. We will just seal it and hopefully prevent more. The kids love it, definitely a great deal for the price! Be sure to have help and plan for a weekend to put together - we had 3 people and it took two full days. Very tedious. Overall we’re very happy with our purchase and have recommended to friends!!

I bought this for our four grandkids, ages 3 to 8. They love it. Well built with easy to follow instructions. Me and the wife put this together, with no arguments. The key is not to be in a rush to get it together. I sorted the parts out on a 16' trailer on a Saturday. We stated putting it together most of the day Sunday. Worked a few hours in the afternoons Monday and Tuesday. Finished on Wednesday. Hardware was good quality and everything fit as it should. Highly recommend.

I bought this last year and my kids have enjoyed this playset more than words can say. They call it their little house. The rock wall is challenging for the 3 year old and the ladder is perfect for my 2 year old. Both love the slide. Not too fast not too slow. Would recommend an impact gun to put together. Built it in about 50 hours with very little assistance.
