My father and father in law put together this playset in about 24 hours. Some parts were cracked called and the company shipped new one without a problem. The best advice I could give someone putting together this set is lay out all the pieces, that took up the most time was searching for the parts. My son will be two in June and he loves this playset. He climbs the back ladder without any help.

We bought this 2 months ago, took a while for it to arrive-6 weeks! We used a handyman to set this up for us and it took 18 hours. Playground looks awesome and kids love it! We did have some issues with the wood splitting when we put in the screws, but will be applying wood putty to the area. So far happy with our purchase

I purchased the Skyfort II with the expectation that my kids would enjoy it, but I didn’t anticipate just how much! Best purchase I’ve made to date for them. The layout is perfect at keeping them busy for long periods of time, definitely keep the imagination games flowing. The best feature is the crows nest, as they enjoy playing pirates and exploring the environment using their mounted telescope as a guide. The attached picnic table has them constantly asking to go outside for a snack, and a quick dive in the sandbox keeps them digging for that pirate treasure! Not only is it fun, it’s aesthetically pleasing! Beautiful addition to our new back yard. I highly recommend!

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.

Most of the wood seems very flimsy. For the price I definitely expected better. My husband and father in law put it together alone in a weekend. The number one problem I have with this is the super shady thin pieces of plastic backyard discovery wants to call a slide. It’s literally a very thin sheet of plastic that screws into the side pieces with multiple screws that’s don’t fit in properly. Terrible slide.

This was a great purchase. There were only a few screws missing and the company over-nighted them on a Friday - they were delivered Saturday before lunch! All of the wood pieces were perfect and It took four days to build it, but it was not too difficult and went together smoothly. The manufacturer is a great company to do business with.

Purchased in February, had to wait for the weather to cooperate in April. Very good instructions, proceed slowly, you’ll get there. Grandpa and son-in-law completed this project in several hours over two weekends. Pay attention to other customer comments regarding how to construct this fort. Prior experience working with wood is helpful. Three grandkids required substituting a third swing replacing the teeter-totter that’s shown in the brochure photo.

So this thing is a serious playground. it's great my kids love it but boy let me tell you about the setup! It took me and one other person two weekends and me working on the side pieces during the week to finally get it complete I strongly suggest sorting out all of the bolts and screws and nuts in numeric order on a table and using the lids of the wood boxes to sort all the different pieces if you like Puzzles this assembly is definitely for you it was fairly simple I strongly suggest downloading the bilt app this app was a lifesaver instructions were pretty simple so follow it's just a lot of manual labor most of the wood pieces were pretty good condition but quite a few were chipped or warped but in the end all the hard work was worth it endless hours of entertainment!

I just finished the assembly. With about 26-28 hours from opening the first box I completed it by myself. There are some parts that would be helpful to have two people but I managed alone. My son has been on it ever since I finished it. The directions are about 95% accurate with some things having to be interpreted by looking at pictures but nothing so bad to cause an issue with assembly. If you want a great play set this is it.

Our kids, ages 12, 8, 6, 4 and 3 love this "fort". It is loads of fun and they enjoy the different features. Assembly took some time, but my husband did it alone. I only had to help hold random pieces at times. Bottom line, the kids are happy, so we are happy!
