Kids love it, lot of work

we put this together last summer (me and my brother in law), the kids love it and it has held up very well. It did take two people two very long days to assemble. I would recommend borrowing an extra cordless drill (or three) so that you dont have to switch bits as often, and getting out of the crows nest was fun (im a big guy and it is the last step). The instructions were easy to follow too.

My daughter loves this set. Nothing feels cheap on it. It did take my husband a couple of days to put together but it was well worth the wait. My only suggestion is to stamp the wood better bc it got tough trying to read the stamps on the wood to put it together. The delivery was great got it quicker than we were supposed to.

Product ok - Install HORRIBLE!

I have to say I would guess this an average product for swing set, not poor materials but just average. The instructions and packaging are absolutely horrible. Every piece needs to be screwed in and assembled. The directions are very poor just plain pics for 100 plus steps. We had top re-drill holes and unassembled at least 10x because the instructions were so poor. Also we had missing screw and bolt hardware and needed to request more and took over 1 week to receive. I would NOT buy this product again just due to the assembly and lack of instructions. Expect 48 - 60 hours of assembly time, with headaches along the way if assembling yourself.

Kids Are Thrilled

We could not be more thrilled with the end product. My husband is a carpenter and has been for the better part of 2 decades. It did take him quite awhile to assemble the playset, but he commented multiple times that the quality of all the hardware, wood, etc was very good. We only had one board split. We did put a sealant on the wood prior to assembling it so that did add substantial time to the process. In the end, the kids are thrilled with their new hangout. We live in a rural setting so we don't have easy access to the parks in town. The playset has already provided hours of enjoyment for my girls. I am one happy Mama.

Kids love it.

The kids love it. Built pretty solid wish the monkey bars were a little bit stronger. But overall for the price great deal we paid for the install. We didn’t have to wait in about three weeks after we received it for them to install it food for thought.

Skyfort Cedar Swingset

I purchased this swingset because it had everything monkey bars, slide, rock wall, swings, crowsnest. What I didn't realize was it had a built in picnic table and two bay windows not seen in the photo. It's a beautiful set well worth the money once it was completed. It's well made and I found the directions easy to follow. It's a time consuming process but well worth the effort. My one and only minor complaint would be that the barrel nuts I received were not threaded properly and we had to scrap them and use our own nuts and bolts in a few spots but other than that the set went up without a hitch. As for my kids 5 and 6 we can't keep them off it and with summer coming it's worth its weight in gold. It's bigger than anyone else's I have seen and the kids love it which is what really matters to me.

Very happy!

We are happy with the he product. The wood and hardware meet or exceeded our expectations. The directions were easy to follow. It took us about 14 hours from start to finish. My 2 and 3 year old love it and I feel pretty confident on letting them play with out too much help from me (except for monkey bars). We feel like the price was good for the size and quality of swing set.

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.

My daughter loves the swingset

My daughter has been spending hours playing on her swing set. It was very difficult to put together. I did not receive all the correct pieces and had to add some extra pieces to make the little picnic table work out. There were several pieces that were cracked/broken. Even though it was a hassle my daughter loves the swing set.

Best Price

I originally saw this on another website for about $500 more but after reading several reviews that said they pruchased from Sams Club I visited this site. I was floored at the difference in price not to mention the free shipping. The other site was only offering $9.99 shipping. My husband put this up in a week. My kids LOVE it!
