I was impressed with how well written the instruction were and all the pieces were labeled nicely. We made sure to take the time to seal all the boards before beginning assembly which doubled the total assembly time. Everything fit very well and I only had 2 issues with some of the hardware which was easily remedied with the extra hardware that was included. Some of boards have started to crack now that it's been put together for a month+ but so far nothing super concerning. My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves playing on it! This will provide years of fun for her and it looks great in the backyard too.

My husband & I are extremely happy with the Sky fort 2 outdoor playset. We ordered it online and it shipped in a week. We love the color of the wood and how sturdy it was when put together. It is a great height for our growing 3 and 5 yr old. They play on it daily, rain or shine. The clubhouse is great. Very tall and spacious inside. Can fit multiple children in at one time. I wish the swings were spaced out just a little further apart though. I'm always afraid they are going to hit each other while swinging. If you are planning to assemble it yourself, like my husband did, just know that you will be spending a lot of time on it. It took him 5-6 eight hour days to count/organize parts, and assemble the whole playset himself. The good news is if you follow the manual, it goes together easily. It's just time consuming due to all of the screws that need to be put in. But the pre-drilled holes were very helpful. My kids love it and so do we! I would definitely recommend this playset to others who are looking for a larger playset that their kids can grow into.

Background info: I have 2 girls, ages 7 and 4, and had been thinking of purchasing a swing set for a while. I finally decided to do so with my husband leaving for a deployment to try to keep the kids distracted while he is gone. The good.... - My kids love it. - This is one of the few sets with monkey bars and and has several other great features like the crow's nest. - The clubhouse is really spacious. - Not very expensive for such a large set. The bad.... - It's not expensive; so if you are looking for something long-term, this might not be it. The other reviews clued me in as to how soft and thin the wood is, but I was still a little surprised as to the extent. A neighbor's toddler hit the wood with a stick, and it left dents. Also, the surface (maybe just stain?) was peeling off from day 1, so I had to tell the kids not to pull it apart. The ugly.... - I purchased installation given my husband's deployment and thinking it would be easier that way. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but it took 6.5 weeks from the time of delivery until installation was complete. The first team said my yard wasn't level enough (looked fine until they brought out the line level) and that I needed 500 lbs of fill dirt. I got the dirt that day (even after they tried to say that little old me couldn't possibly pick up the 40-lb bags of dirt myself) and put it in the area they designated. For the next scheduled install appointment, a different team showed up and seemed to think the ground was fine. They couldn't finish due to missing parts and had to come back a week later when the pieces arrived. And now that it's complete, I think the extra dirt actually brought the clubhouse higher than the swing arm, so I'm expecting structural issues down the road. - The set has been installed less than 2 months, and it already has mildew. I know it needs to be sealed, but that seems excessively fast. Bottom line: Your kids will love it. You may or may not. Just know what you're getting into.

We bought this for our two granddaughters ages (6 & 4). I searched a long time before purchasing this from Sam's. No one had a better price then Sam's and in fact, I saw other's selling this brand new for $200.00 to $300.00 more than Sam's price. I received free shipping as well. It took my husband 1 1/2 days to put it together by himself. We put their Stove/kitchen set on the 2nd level so they can feel like it is a true clubhouse. We put a mailbox out and flowers and they have been playing in to for hours on end. Even the other children on the block come over to play. It is tall enough that my husband can stand straight up (he is 6') in the clubhouse. My girls are very tall for their ages and I know will be able to play with this until they are at least 12. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a swing set/clubhouse for their children.

I bought this about a month or so ago and my kids absolutely love it, everyday they are out there playing on it. We have had many neighbors comment on how awesome it looks and that they wish they had one for their kids so we just invite the neighborhood kids over to play as well! Directions were easy to follow for the average do it yourselfer, timing was fairly accurate as well. Took me and one of my friend around 30 or so hours to assemble. I love that the swing support beam is a solid 4 x 6 beam and that the support Pillars for the fort were 4 x 4 beams, very solid construction!!

We really like this unit. My kids were desperate for a play structure while parks were closed. They're on it every day. My only complaint is the wood is fragile. Most of the deck boards split on installation with one board splitting completely and the top layer peeling off. We can already see we'll need to give it some TLC sooner than later. With that being said We did NOT request replacement parts and expected a wood structure to require maintenance, just not immediately.

After having purchased 2 other gym sets before this one I would highly recommend this one to anyone else looking for a sturdy gym set with all the different attachments. The assembly on this one was also the easiest of the two I had previously put together. Great Product for the money.

I bought this in May for my daughter’s birthday. Big 3, and so far it’s still under construction but will be finished soon. I would say it does need additional information on which way some of the wood pieces go. Especially on some that look alike. I’ve caught myself having to redo and unscrew pieces because it goes on the opposite end. As well as turning the piece around 180. Other than this, it does have many features other sets do not have. Would love to come back and update my review with photos.

My husband just put this together for our two kids, 8 and 3. Took him about 5 days by himself to organize everything and build. We weren’t in a hurry so he took his time and built it right! Our kids love the FAST slide and the monkey bars! The rock wall is a plus too. The swings are something they could do for hours!!!

My wife and I, along with our two kids (3.5, 2) love this playset! Reached my doorstep within 14 days of being ordered. Delivery was quick and easy. I cannot comment on set-up, I outsourced that job to a local contractor. BEST money I ever spent on having someone else do that job! My contractor told me it took 4 guys a total of 40 man hours (10 hours a piece) to complete and his comment was, "It wasn't hard, just tedious making sure you follow all the steps, not too sure how only 2 men would have faired". They went from box to set-up, I didn't have time to organize and lay out all the pieces for them (I would estimate that taking approximately 2 hours). All in all we are very pleased so far, it has only been 5 days, but there has not been a day yet where the kids haven't played on the set for under an hour.
