I bought this a few months ago. My kids really love it but im really unhappy with the slide. On of the main features and no matter how much we try to keep the plastic in place it keeps popping out at the bottom. Really upset since that's the favorite part and we paid quite a bit and we cant even use the slide 😕

In the end a great playset with very good quality hardware. Took 20 hours over three days for one person to assemble with help only when needed. They would get 5 stars, if the pieces weren’t scattered randomly though out the 4 large boxes. Literally step one is building the ladder. I had to open all 4 boxes to find the parts needed. Could be packaged more thoughtfully.

Purchased this to replace a very old swingset for our grandkids. The assembly was long and tedious but the instructions were spot on. The online app was very helpful at times to assist with some clarity. Had an issue with a part and it was shipped to me right away. It was helpful to lay out the parts by number so that they were easy to find. I bought the anchors and rubber pieces to hold playground in place and keep the wood off the ground - I highly recommend doing this.

I didn't keep track of my hours of labor on the install, and I can't say it really took 3 weeks to put together because of all the rainy days I couldn't work on it. I figure it was about 30-35 hours total, and only had help 3-4 hours from someone else(there are a few bolts that you need someone on the other side, unless to have eight foot jelly arms). If you purchase, check ALL peices against the list. Was only missing three parts, and they had them to me in three days with no hassle, but would have held me up if I didn't check first. Pay close attention to which way parts are turned when they are bolted on, and do not over tighten bolts. Very nice looking set, and sturdier than I thought it would be looking at the lumber when I got it.

Excellent quality once built, directions could be written a little better, and if you are slightly off level, you may need to redrill and move some hardware to get it right. Overall, extremely satisfied with final product and my daughter and neighbor kids love it. I had to have customer service send me a few extra pieces of wood that arrived damaged. They shipped quick, no questions asked. I would recommend their products to anyone. It took me about 30 hours over 4 days. you will need a second set of hands for some of it and ladders to assemble.

We bought this swingset for our 4 kids, it took us about a week to put together only working on it about 3 hours a day (during nap time). Our kids absolutely love playing on it and they never want to come in the house. Children around the neighborhood even come over and ask to play on it. * One thing we were a bit disappointed about was with the hardware. The lag screw heads stripped out easy and for the dining/picnic table it caused problems because we couldn't get the screw out so our table is now crooked, but still functional.

We were so glad to get the play structure. Delivery was wonderful they unloaded it and left it in our garage at my request since I was home. Each box had an inventory list and was very easy to unload and check off the inventory. Each piece was labeled nicely and the instructions were very well written. You could also follow along on your cell phone so we followed along in the instructions book as well as followed along on the online video it made putting the product together very clear! It took 2-4 of us about 2 days to assemble. Customer service was also outstanding!

We are really happy with how everything worked out. Everything fit well, instructions were clear and it looks great. Our kids love the fort part and think it's the greatest (5 & 1.5). Took us about 14 hours for two people to put together. The harware organization was a little frustrating, we used some cheap plastic part dividers that made it so much easier.

Purchased the skyfort-ii back in March. Had a company do the install because I dont have the patience for this type of assembly. Only con I have about this set is that the screws that come with it are horrible! One on the monkey bars was snapped off and luckily it was me who tried it out cause a kid probably would have gotten hurt falling that far. Bought extra cedar boards for the sandbox area and extended the flooring.

I purchased the Skyfort last year and it has held up well and provided enduring fun for our 3 boys. The kit was delivered by a large truck, which might be an issue depending on where you live. The delivery man was willing to help move the boxes after I gave him a tip. It would be best to have two strong adults to move the boxes. I built the kit myself with only occasional help from a neighbor lifting large or heavy parts. That said, it would be easier and faster to build with 2 people. Instructions are overall good with only a few mistakes. More pictures would be helpful. One challenge I had was determining which side of the fort is the front. After some assembly, I had to rotate the structure 180 degrees to get the direction correct. There are a lot of parts and it really helped to organize everything on the garage floor (out of the weather) to make assembly easier. It took me 2-3 weeks to build, working by myself in the afternoons and on weekends. This would be quite a challenge to complete in one weekend, even with 2 people, and I doubt the average person could do it. A tool belt was essential. Also, keep checking ahead in the instructions to have a good understanding of how the structure goes together to reduce errors. The kids enjoyed helping with certain age-appropriate jobs and gave them some pride in the structure. I would recommend not placing the structure directly on the earth to prevent wood rot. Instead I placed brick pavers at the ground contact points, making sure everything was level. I also added additional anchors at multiple points in the playhouse floor for better stability. The swing support was also more stable when the anchors were cemented in the ground. Small children did not cause motion, but there was some motion with our 9 year old or when 3 kids were swinging at the same time. I had to buy several extra bags of washers and some extra screws. A few pieces of wood needed slight trimming for a good fit. The picnic bench required some extra screws for strength. Overall, this is a good kit and it was enjoyable to build. However it helped that I'm a "do it yourself" kind of person. A novice might get frustrated due to the number of parts. On the other hand, the variety of parts also makes this kit more interesting and visually pleasing (eg window details.) The kids have had a lot of fun and it has held up well in the weather (after the sealing coat). Just give yourself extra time for construction.
