We bought this for my 4 year old son after his first swing set blew over in a very strong storm. We are absolutely thrilled with this set and he has to room to grow into it. The anchors are excellent and I have no fear that it will fall over like that last one. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

So much more for your money. You won't be sorry if you buy this play/swing set. Great price compared to other vendors. Did the assembly on our own, husband and son are carpenters. If not handy I would recommend paying the extra for the assembly. Great value for the money!

The best advice I found and would pass on to anyone building this playset would be to open each box, inventory the pieces using the step by step assembly instructions and placing the items for each step into seperate piles as you go. This last part will save you an unbelievable amount of time. We assembled the set in approx. 17 hours with 2 people one day and 3 the next. There will be boards missing but as others have mentioned the Customer Service is the best I've ever contacted and the ones I spoke with had assembled these sets and knew exactly what I needed, no questions asked.

Tomorrow I should finally be done building this monstrosity after working on it for about a month primarily by myself with my wife helping from time to time. Inventoried everything up front with a few minor issues that were resolved quickly by the manufacturer. Took 2 days to seal it with Olympic sealant which was recommended to me at local harware store. Now that I am near completion I have bordered it with some timbers and purchased a large quantity of rubber mulch through SAMs Club which I will use tomorrow.. All said and done I would do it again instead of paying someone as if you have not built something like this before you will learn alot about your abilities. If you don't have the time or the addional labor of a friend or family member full time then the install is a great value as well. There also are some great blogs online which I did not read during the build process but wish I did ahead of times they may save you some time along the way.

We purchased this as a Christmas gift for our 3 grandsons (ages 2, 5 & 8) to replace one that was old. It has great features & the kids love the fort. They prefer to eat lunch at the picnic table rather than come inside even when it’s cold. It is good for all ages & very sturdy. With the size of this play set, numerous kids can all play at the same time & it not be crowded.

We got this playset for our 3 kids, ages 3,7 & 8 for Christmas 2018. It was a pain to put together. The easiest way is to go thru the directions and separate stuff into piles, the directions aren’t very good and it’s all unorganized the way it’s boxed up. Once you organize and separate, it gets easier to put together. It maybe took 1 1/2 months to get together working several random hrs here and there. Also due to bad weather, lots of snow & rain there was even more delay.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Backyard Discovery Skyfort II with Wave Slide Cedar Swing Set/PlaySet - Assembled One of the best investments I ever made. We did lot of research on the internet to buy a good swing set with tree house, monkey bars, a slide , a rock climber and a little party table for our grand kids. After a lot of research finally we have decided to buy “Backyard Discovery Skyfort II with Wave Slide Cedar Swing Set/PlaySet – Assembled” It was a wise decision that we opted for professional assembly. Technician John was an excellent technician and did a perfect job assembling the set in 9 hours. Since the day we installed the set, kids have been playing and enjoying it. Our neighborhood kids also come and play. In fact couple of my grand kids friends in the neighbourhood are asking their parents to buy a house next to our house to play all the tie on the Swing Set. This set is not only attractive to kids but also to grownups My daughter who is a senior executive and is working from home made the party table her home office during sunny days enjoying the perfect weather and get more work done that way. It deffinitely enhanced the looks of our backyard. Most important for me is our grandkids are enjoying it. They look forward to come home from school and go play with the Backyard Discovery set. They invite friends are having a good time. All quality and sturdy material was used and I am sure it will last several years. I confess, I am tempted to go play with the set. I highly recommend this product over others. Most importantly, I highly recommend professional installation.

Purchased the set for my grandchildren. While the assembly is complicated and very many pieces if you have any skills at all it easy to follow the directions. All the materials were top quality and we had no difficulty in assembly with each piece fitting and pre-drilled holes lining up. We found sorting hardware into small containers for each step helped move things along nicely. The grandkids could not even wait for the construction to end before they were crawling all over this set. I was quite surprised at the quality having seen many much more expensive sets at other online sites that did not get that good or reviews from the owners.

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter and she’s now obsessed with it. The play set is as advertised. I opted to build it myself and it took 16 hours with a helper. Two of those hours were laying out all of the pieces and organizing them, which is something I highly recommend. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to understand. I did not try the app that was recommended, but it all worked out.

I bought this a month ago and we just completed the build. It took us about 3 days to build this as nothing comes pre-put together. Overall there were some challenges building it as pilot holes were not drilled correctly. However my children love this set especially the crows nest! Look forward to many years on memories with this.
