I bought this in June and finally got it together. The BILT app was a big help. What I question is why they couldn't have holes pre drilled for all the places they have you do it manually. Splitting is an issue. Some screws aren't long enough for holding some pieces in place. Slide was a pain to put together. Also, not sure why you couldn't stamp top or bottom for some pieces where it matters. Now that it is together, my kids like it. I am just not sure it was worth the price.

We ordered this for our daughter's second birthday! It is assmebled and she LOVES it. I have absolutely no issues with the finished product and would receommend the playset. As most people mention, it does take a while to put together. It took myself, my husband, parents and a few friends here and there two days. Things I recommend: FIRST: If you have more than one person working on this project, make a few copies of the instructions prior to starting. We often found that we could work ahead on some things, but were left waiting on instructions. - Definately lay out all pieces prior to beginning. This did not take long and made finding pieces VERY easy. - After you assemble to frame to the main playhouse, the instructions tell you to lay the bottom floors, then anchor it. This needs to be done the other way around. The anchors go under the floor...oops :). - Make sure you have at least 2 cordless drills. We also had two battery packs for each so we could rotate them. Overall, this is a great product and our daughter LOVES it.

Instructions are hard to follow. Parts are difficult to find. But the main disappointment is in the quality of the wood. Ours has been up for two weeks and the wood is showing major signs of wear. The wood is super soft and scuff marks and dents are there and some boards are peeling up. Think is should have been much better quality for the amount of money.

Came in 4 big boxes, really surprised all that fit inside these long boxes. Quality is okay wish some areas where a little bit more reinforced with thicker wood. Would definitely recommend professional installation. Our 2 yr old loves this play set we basically have our own park in the back yard and she will get at least another 10 yrs of use out of it.

We ordered the Skyfort Cedar Play set for our grandson, age five. His dad has hired people to set it up. It arrived in five huge boxes with about 135 (?) screws. I have no idea how the installation is going but we love the photos of the set and we are sure our grandson will love playing on it. Other reviews indicate difficulty with set-up but we feel like the set is worth it.

We purchased the Sky Fort II for our grand kids. It is advertised as being made of cedar. It is NOT CEDAR. It is a white wood painted a cedar color. A little disappointed as we might have chosen a different product had we known. We are worried this wood won't hold up well.

After looking at several play-sets, this one stood out as having the most features for the money. We have had it up for about six months, and my son still loves playing on it. It took about two full weekends for my Dad and I to assemble. It was relatively easy, it just takes a lot of time as there are a LOT of pieces. We had three cordless drills which made things go much faster. As other reviewers have said: Pay close attention to the instructions - especially the first few pages. The drawings aren't always clear as to which way certain pieces need to be oriented, so you may have to look ahead to make sure you get them right. It took us about three tries to get the base frames put together with all the boards (and pre-drilled holes) facing the right way. Once this was done, the rest went fairly smooth (Plus we made sure to look ahead if there was any doubt). There were 3 places where bolts and screws interfered with each other, but these were relatively easy to fix with a grinder bit on my Dremmel. All-in-all, it was a very rewarding project.

This was bought by my grandmother for my 2 children and it has been a hit! That are on it from the time they wake until bed time. It was time consuming to put together but once done it is very sturdy and is going to last for years. Only down side is delivery was very slow and could not be tracked. We had to keep calling company to see where it was and it sat in various locations for days before being moved.

Rough to set up. The amount of pieces is overwhelming and took my handy hubby and I the whole weekend, but I would say it was worth it in the end. The kids love it. They especially love the lookout to see our neighbor horses over the fence, the upper fort provides awesome shade and a wind block, and the sandbox area is a favorite for my youngest. I think we’ll add a large saucer swing under the monkey bars until they are bit older and can’t tackle those.

Every time my granddaughter would go to Sam’s, she would see this Skyfort II And beg her parents for it for her birthday. Oh sets of grandparents and her parents went together and bought this for her birthday. Her daddy put it all together pretty much all by himself and of course my granddaughter loves it. As you can see from the picture from Halloween see reigns over her kingdom from the balcony.
