Took about a week working on and off after work and weekends to get it built. Laying out the peices next to the boxes worked well since directions will refer to part which is listed by box on inventory list. Happy with quality of product. Kids love it.

My kids absolutely love the playset. Putting it together was a completely different story. To be fair, I am not a handyman or anything close. However; my father, myself and my son put this together in a weekend. The instructions need to be done in color and have better explanation/pictures of orientation of the boards. We ended up having to go backwards at least 3 times because the instructions were not very clear on orientation of a board. With that said, The kids love it and it seems to be very sturdy and looks great in the backyard. We added a sandpit to the base of the unit for the kids.

Bought this about 3 weeks ago but just got around to building it. Instruction need more information about where the extra holes on each board should be facing. Had to run to Lowe's and buy more 2 1/4" screws to attach the roof. Called for 14 screws and we only had 4. The t nuts often stripped out. My wife and I built it and it took up 27.5 hours.

I wanted to love this product so much. But I’m SO disappointed to report that after less than a month of use, the screws that hold the flooring are literally all breaking. Just tonight I pulled out over ten screws that were popping up and could seriously injure a child. Replacing the screws isn’t even an option because they’re literally broken with the tips remaining in the boards. My husband did and amazing job building it over the course of a long weekend, he estimates 24 hours, alone! It looks beautiful from a distance but it makes me sick to think 1. The money we invested thinking this would be a long lasting swing set is blown and 2. The hours he spent in it, what a waste. I won’t have him waste another minute trying to fix it. There are boards that are already warping too- on the top of the picnic table and on the top viewing deck. Such a disappointing purchase. We should have gone with the Gorilla Playset that we’ve had in the past and held up amazingly.

Absolutely love this set! Watching my kids and all their friends playing makes my heart so happy! Kids from 5-12 all playing and laughing together. If you’re worried your kids are too old, they aren’t. Get it! It took us about 30 hours to assemble, but so worth it. Great detailed instructions!!! Just buy it!!!

Delivery man was great...but we weren't told it would come by semi!! We had no place to turn around so they got a smaller semi to bring it!! Parts were all there. Some warped. The only problem I have is the slide...when they go down it, the last pole at the bottom hurts their butts and back. So be prepared!!

This play set is fantastic for kids of all ages. The assembly took a bit longer than anticipated, but I was also the only one working on it for the majority of the assembly. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the boards prior to placing. Overall, it was relatively simple, just time consuming and my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends kids have loved playing on it!

I like this playset and for the price cant beat it. Time consuming lots of parts hard to find. Lay everything out and put together some of the stuff that can be attached later. Have someone help you and dont try to rush it. You will not put it up in a day..2 days if you have time or about a week doing some here and there..it does get more sturdy once everything is done.

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.

Shipping was faster than expected. They sent an email 4 days after it shipped with all of the requirements prior to installation. It’s a lengthy list that cost us $2500 to do and should be provided prior to purchasing. The freight company (Estes) left the 800lbs pallet halfway in the street even though i was there and asked for it to be moved onto the property. The installation was fantastic!!! John exceeded all of our expectations and the swing set looks great!
