Really great once put together , but I had to hire a handyman to put together ! had 105 steps and the instructions said it would take 2 men 24 hours to put together ! paid handyman 500$ but still worth the cost :)

We bought this playset for our three sons, ages 2-11. It was delivered within 8 days of ordering it and we immediately inventoried all the wood (this is a MUST). Just as many reviews before mine, we found we were missing 7 boards. No problem, we called and they were shipped Fedx air, no questions asked. It took my husband (a strong but not so handy guy), my brother-in-law (a mechanical engineer), and myself (a not so handy girl) approx 18 hours to build this from start to finish. I won't say it was easy to assemble because it wasn't, even our engineer got confused by some of the directions. And most boards are poorly marked so I had to spend time figuring what they were based off their hole patterns and then marking them myself. I saved us a TON of time by doing some leg work in advance. I strongly recommend you sort the hardware into plastic, well marked bins and sort the wood based off page #'s, not part #'s. For instance, page 1 requires board H11, H3, H4, B1, B2, B3, H10.... so I had those set aside in a neat pile. I did that with every single page all the way through the book and it made everything fly by smoothly since no one had to stop to look for the next board, they were already sorted, organized and ready to go. This is the perfect job for a teenager or wife that wants to be helpful. I also took care of putting the lock and flat washers on the bolts so no one would have to pause to do that, another easy job for someone looking to help out. My kids absolutely LOVE this playset and are having a blast playing on it. There really is something for everyone and enough room so no one is in anyone's way. For the price you won't beat this playset, it truly is the best one out there.

We bought this for our 3 sons (ages6, 2 and 6 months), they all absolutely love it, the older two more than the baby! There is plenty of room for our kids, plus their friends to play. We also added our infant swing from our old set, but with the glider and swing there is plenty of places for all the kids to swing. The estimated 20 hours for assembly was accurate, it would not have taken as long if the directions would have been clearer. There were a few times that we had to look ahead in the directions. We also had to take things apart and put them back together again. My husband is very handy, so that also helped. It also helped that we organized the wood and hardware before we started so that everything was easy to locate. I have since talked to another mother who bought a smaller set and now wishes that she had bought the skyfort too. It is a great set for the money.

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.

First thing is first.CHECK your inventory!! We lucked out and only had 3 boards missing-there was a delay,because the company sent it to the wrong address,but lucky us. UPS called me and got it here exactly a week later.We are still in building phase,due to weather.We have swings and monkey bars left.. I researched for a year to find just the right playset for our family of 9 kids.We hadn't even been members of sams club until my dad showed me a picture of this playset.We became members and bought this wonder toy!We are taking another playset and running a tube from one to the other....I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE!The revies were a HUGE factor in my decision making!

definitly organize and inventory the boxes. We were missing 23 boards from our playground, but the company was very pleasant to deal with and had our missing pieces to us in 3 days. we are almost done with assembly and it has been 13 hours, definitly a good weekend or long weekend project! Very nice looking product, well worth the money!

This is very time consuming took me about 24 hrs but well worth it very easy to put together just pay attention to detail we were missing a few parts but they overnight them to you no problem overall my kids love it and they have been outside everyday since its been up there is a lot of measuring and drilling holes so be prepared for that.

The Skyfort kit makes a very sturdy swing set. Take the time to do a complete inventory before starting the project. We were short 1 board and had one split board. The company had the boards to us in two days. Put all the hardware in plainly labeled bags or containers. Read the instructions through before starting, then read a couple of steps ahead before assembling the one you are on so you will know what goes next and how it fits. It took us 4 hours to inventory and blue tape boards and four days to build it. We had 3 cordless drills and used them all constantly. We tightned most bolts and lag screws by hand to prevent crushing wood. When finished it is very sturdy and the kids love it. My wife and I built it for grandkids at their house, and we are not pros, so you can do it!

Great value, all pieces were present. All wood was in good shape. Assembly was very difficult if you want a precision job and I have very good carpentry skills. The instructions were very difficult to follow. The word instructions did not always match the pictures and several times they had you anchor something down to early that could cause alignment issues. You can avoid this by reading ahead at least a page or two and modifing as you go.

My kids LOVE this play set! They are 3 1/2 and 6. It's huge and very sturdy. The only thing I don't care for is the monkey bars are very high and feel they are unsafe for my young kids. I know they will grow into them in a few years. When we received the product we had a few missing things but the company sent them and we had them within 4 days. It took about 40 hours to set up (we knew that it would that that long). Overall I am very happy and so are my kids!
