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.

This is a well priced playset and my children all love it (ages 2, 5, 9). Its beautiful, high quality and sturdy. The only downside is the assembly. When the directions say it will take 2 people 24-36 hours, that is NOT an exaggeration. We hired handymen to do it and it took them three days and cost us more than the set itself. So, make sure you have the manpower to assemble!

We have had this playset for about a year and it is holding up well. There are many different activities and it can easily entertain 5-6 kids without them running into each other. I love the crows nest, but our kids don't go up there yet, but the slide and swings are a big hit. The climbing wall, ladder and monkey bars make me a little nervous because our kids are still small, but even our not quite 2 year old navigates the ladder well, and our not quite four year old fly up the climbing wall with ease. Assembly was a major task, but the directions are adequate if not great and you will get there if you inventory the parts and take a measured approach. I have some concerns about long term look and durability, as some of the boards seem a little thin for some of the stresses they endure (kids swinging on them, running and jumping on them), and the finish is also not great and is starting to show wood underneath already. However, until these become major issues rather than just speculative concerns, I am fine.

Kids got this for Christmas it is a great playset. Many activities for kids to do. This is our 2nd playset by Backyard Discovery. The first one had the tunnel on top. We do miss the tunnel but the monkey bars on the skyfort are a hit with my 4 yr old daughter. They love the crow's nest and picnic table attached is a hit with both kids! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because personally I fell they should have made the swing beam longer as to where when kids are on all 3 swings they wouldn't be so close to one another swinging. The other playset had more space between the swings. Because you know how kids like to start swinging sideways and then one hits the other and the screaming starts.

Was missing a couple of pieces, but we called and they expedited them here in two days. Very good design. A couple of holes were drilled wrong and you have to predrill just about all the holes that had lag bolts, but it is a very stout design that was well planned, in the owners manual, to provide easy assembly. I had a helper all three days, but we didnt work all day. The estimated time table was pretty accurate. We are very pleased with our purchase.

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.

My wife and I bought this around 3 months ago and we JUST were able to finish it (we have 2 small kids, 2 dogs and we both work). We finally just got it done last week and our kids love it. The wood pieces are pretty sturdy and it’s a really beautiful set once it’s completed. My wife and I had so much fun building it. Some screws and bolts were tricky to get in, but if you’ve built anything before you should be able to handle it just fine as it comes with great instructions in the paper copy as well as in the phone app. There are some discrepancies between the two though, I found, so I’d suggest sticking with one or the other (I used the paper copy, call me old-fashioned). I had to put a few of my own screws into some of the thinner boards as I finished and found some screws coming loose. Just some 1” screws will do the trick. I recommend having some on hand. All in all, this is a great play set! And we can’t wait to see our kid’s build memories on what we built with our hands.

We were please with how quick our order was processed. We placed the ordered on Sunday, received a call for deliver on Tuesday, swing set arrived Friday, within the same week. All parts and hardware included, no damage. It took my husband and I a combined 20 hours over a 3 day weekend to assemble the swing set. We did sort the hardware on table tops. As well as fully unpacked 2 of the 4 boxes before running out of room in our pole barn. A few part numbers (stamped on the wood) were difficult to read and resulted in some minor set backs. And the direction leave a lot to the imagination. But over all assembly went quick and easy.

I just finished assembling and my kids love their new playset. In the COVID era it's really nice to have a playset with so many features. The clubhouse is big enough for a few kids to fit comfortably and the overall design is very functional. The assembly takes a while, yes, but I actually found that using the BILT app along with the manual it wasn't actually that difficult. For sure, you have to pay close attention to where pilot holes are, but the steps are otherwise clear. I did organize all of the wood pieces and hardware first which was very helpful. I would estimate that it took me about 2 hours to organize everything, around 10 hours of assembly time for the individual components, about 20 hours to put the clubhouse together, and another 2 hours to attach everything, finish the crow's nest, and stake to the ground. Again, this took a while but wasn't that difficult. I'm not a carpenter and have only moderate skills in this area so take that for what it's worth. I did have a helper about half of the clubhouse assembly time, and there's only a few steps where it's essential to have two people present. The hardware was very high quality. One wood piece arrived broken, but luckily it was a non-essential piece (seat on the sandbox). The only reason I put 4 stars is that the wood quality is pretty mediocre, which is to be expected at this size and price point. It is pre-stained, so I'm hoping that adding a coat of sealant this fall and stain next spring will help keep things in shape for the next 5-6 years at least. Overall I am happy with my purchase. It looks nice, wasn't complex to assemble on my own, and seems to be a lot of fun for my kids.

Bought this in spring 2015, has held up really well. we have a 2& 4 year old they use the entire set except the monkey bars for now (too short to reach). we did buy separately a baby swing from Home Depot to sub for one of the swings for our smallest. This did take 2.5 days to assemble with 2-3 men working on it. We have a construction business so we are not building novices, and that why it's not getting 5 stars. Also our yard is not level ( and really whose is perfectly level?) we had to adapt the structure after market for that on our own, not hard but a few extra pieces of wood would have made the process easier.
