Bought this and son and one-two others worked to put it together. Went together easily and had it up in less than 3 days. A minor issue was a few screws were missing, but were available locally and didn't prevent construction from going forward. Caution note: Need to slowly screw bolts into nuts. If you start out using a power tool you may cross thread. Ran into this problem early on and learned to use hand tool to start bolts and then use power tool. Granddaughter should get years of fun out of it.

It took a few days putting this together. The instructions were decent, but a few minor improvisations and a few bolts purchased at the hardware store was required. It is very nice and sturdy. My biggest gripe is that the slide is not one piece, but a flat piece that fits into the wavy channels and then is screwed into the plastic to keep it from falling out. The issue is that it feels like it will break if someone >100lbs goes down it and it is very bumpy, so you kind of launch off of the 1st bump and slam into the 2nd bump. Anyways it is more sturdy and better built than our last similarly priced one (we didn't get to take it when we moved), but the slide is not as nice. Good buy and experience overall. It would be 5 stars if the slide was 1 solid piece.

I assembled this right after Christmas. It took me a solid 3 days by myself. For the most part, every piece fit together really good. I don’t really have anything bad to say about the assembly. The only negative is that when I opened the boxes to assemble it, the boxes were filled with rat nests. The rats had obviously occupied these boxes for some time. They had started eating away at the wood. A couple pieces were chewed up pretty bad. Nothing that I felt would compromise the structural integrity of the swingset, but I wasn’t happy about the quarter moon they chewed out a couple pieces. Other than that, I’m happy about this product. It was just as advertised.

Great playset! If you are a DIY type person you’ll enjoy putting this together. Instructions are not idiot proof, so ingenuity and know how is a must. During assembly you have to pay close attention to the pilot holes and ensure they are faced in the direction with respect to the illustrations. I jumped around in the manual, because I did half the build in my garage due to weather. The nut barrels are trash! I hated these things. The clearance tolerances of the threads are extremely tight. I had to prefit them with the bolt prior to installing them to ensure proper engagement and alignment. Other than that great product.

This swing came in 4 boxes. The pieces were spread. Instead of the pieces grouped in each box they were spread out. We had to dig in each box to find the parts. Finally we put all the pieces in alphabetical order as well as all the screws and bolts. Started working on the swing July fourth and finished it up July 25. A lot of the wood pieces are split. We will have to treat the wood immediately. If a person didn’t have a full time job maybe could get it together faster. The instructions were not clear about where some of the pilot holes so had to take apart and start over. Neat swing, but would never tackle the endeavor again.

This is a great set. The only reason I give it 4 stars is 1. Because it took us 4 days to put together! 2. Some of the wood was already flaking and cheap. There were so many different bags of nuts and bolts and some wood pieces were not even labeled. Also make suuuuure you watch hole placement I don't know how many times we put a board on just to take it off and flip it around! I do feel its a little cheaply made but it will work for its intentions. Looks great in the yard and our daughter loves it.

Bought the skyfort ii + assembly by GOConfigure. Excellent product and builder did a great job! 6 year old son absolutely loves it. 4 big boxes arrived promptly and delivery team kindly placed them in my garage. GoConfigure had to reschedule twice but was worth the wait because Anthony did a pro job. He builds these all the time and took him less than 8 hours. Finished product is great and we are happy. Wood is very lightweight but sturdy. Wood is pre stained but we will be putting another coat to get the most out of it for years to come. Builder told us that it is covered under warranty for 18 months. Any piece breaks they will send replacement and he will install it. I really hope that is true because that sounds great!

I’ve been a builder for 30 years and the material is precisely manufactured and goes together well. Problems are the instructions have much to be desired and you need to think ahead so you get pieces together so the steps down the road align with predrilled holes because instructions are vague concerning this. The definition of insanity rule comes into play on their packaging. You will need to go through boxes many times to find all the parts for each step. Keep packing list so you have an idea in which box the parts are scattered. Also I would definitely use gle so the It stays solid. I Hurd and used extra fasteners where needed

We purchased this for our 2 kids, ages 2.5 and 6. They both love the set, and I feel like they are the perfect ages to enjoy it all. My husband (a builder) put it together in 14 hours by himself. 8 hours the first day, and 6 the second. I can imagine if you do not have any building experience it could take twice as long. I did not like the strong cedar smell, but remember, this is Chinese fir, which is much more aromatic than domestic cedar. It went away almost completely by day 2. We didn't have any damaged pieces, and everything went together fine. We modified the monkey bars, though, as it was a danger to both of our kids. They are way too high and the opening was an accident waiting to happen for my 2 year old. My husband cut them down to the deck height so our 6 year old can reach by himself, and installed it next to the ladder. We put another slide in the opening where the monkey bars were. Perfect! We did not seal it - we will wait to put a dark stain on it next year that will just act the same way. Overall, a great buy for the price we paid my kids will get a lot of use out of it!

My boys and I are thrilled with this playset. It is much bigger than I expected and has lots to do for them to stay active. I am definitely glad I paid for the installation because it looked very complex. It took three experienced workers a day and a half to complete and the crew that came was excellent. The wood is not as strong as the pricier playsets but that is to be expected and it seems very sturdy and safe with the exception that we may reinforce the crows nest a little bit just because I'm paranoid. There was one damaged piece which isn't bad considering how many pieces came in the set and two of the boxes were torn a little in the shipping process. The installation crew said they'd report the piece to the company and come back with a replacement to fix it. Overall I'm very happy with the playset and hope it hold up well in the years to come for my three boys to enjoy endless hours on it.
