This is such an awesome play set! It takes a while to put together, but it's so worth it. The wood is great quality and if you're missing any parts or a piece is damaged (which you should look for before you start), they will send new ones right away. It took my husband 5 days to build by himself, but most of those days were after work, so they were not full days. If you have friends working with you it would take 2 full days, and that's after you have sorted all the wood and made sure you have everything. My kids love this play set and will for many years to come. A 12 yr. old would love this play set!

We purchased this for our 7 and 2 year old and have not been disappointed! This structure is definitely large enough to entertain and challenge our seven-year-old. As well as enjoyable by our two-year-old. Tracking shipment was a breeze. Assembly was fairly smooth. Take the time to sort the pieces and hardware and it will be much smoother. We had no issues with cracking wood as long as we used the predrilled Pilot holes. Overall this has been a wonderful investment and anyone who comes to play at our house now has their eye on one also. It sells itself.

We bought this right before the summer of 2020 when the world shut down. We wanted our kids to get outside and play since they were home. It started out great, but after trying to maintain the upkeep, it began to get worse. A year into this playset, the pieces were warping and starting to fail. The whole playset shakes back and forth, even with my 35 lb child. We do not feel safe with it anymore, and now we are on the hunt for a new one. If you want to spend this type of money, keep in mind that even if you try and upkeep it like told, it will still fail. Not happy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wooowww!!! I thought my kids would love this but forget them...I love this!!!! I'm always in the treehouse loool This a dream come true for my kids in such hard times like these. They don't understand much why things are the way they are but they love the fact that the closest thing to normal is their playtime.

I read all the previous reviews before I purchased this product and everyone was spot on. It does take a LONG time to assemble but the directions are amazing and very easy to follow. It is even better once you get a little way into the project as it definitely gets easier and quicker to finish steps. I would definitely suggest to sort out and inventory all the contents of the boxes before starting. It is very helpful to have one person gather wood and sort the hardware while another person supervisors and one or two people actually do the work. This will consolidate the amount of days you must work in order to complete the playset.

I just finished putting this set together, and it was relatively easy. I spent almost 21 hours of build time and I had no help. I will caution you that organization is the real key to easy assembly. I spent time organizing the wood into stacks to make picking simple. I also separated the hardware by step - putting all necessary pieces into baggies for each step. During assembly, all I had to do was grab the wood at the top of the page and the bags of hardware I made. I found, unlike some others, the directions very easy to follow and the pictures helpful. I should confess that I read the instructions a couple of times before I started. Two errors in the manual...you must complete step 13 before step 12, and you will have to drill holes in step 88. Also, you should really spend the time sealing the wood before assembly, as the product comes stained, not sealed. Overall, this is an excellent set (especially for the money) that will give my children years of fun. I did have some wood arrive damaged from shipping. The folks at Leisure Time seemed reluctant to replace the pieces (asked for pictures and told me it could be a couple of weeks before my claim was approved/denied). With appropriate prodding from Sam's customer service, I had the wood in 3 days.

The instructions were very difficult to understand. Some bolts and screws were missing,which made it hard to put together,tried to conceal the ones I had to substitute. One board had no number on it at all. Took me 2 1/2 days to put together,had wife & daughter helping part of the time. I am 71,it would probably been worth the money to have it installed. It is beautiful now that it is done,the grandkids love it!

The build was not super hard, but it did take a while. Nothing was missing or broke in the boxes. The kids absolutely love this. My only issue, the packaging in the boxes was completely mixed up. I’d be happy to pay for the extra boxes to have all of the parts for one step in the same box. We had to completely unpack and sort everything in order to be able to funds parts for each step in the build.

I purchased this backyard set for my two kids, aged 3 and 10. I paid for the company sponsored installation service, and they were awesome. They had it up in less than a few hours, it is sturdy and very good looking. My kids love to play on it either together or with friends. The weight capacity we were advised was $1,500 so it is good for kids with lots and friends and family. Overall a very good product for the money, am glad I purchased it.

Came in 4 big boxes, really surprised all that fit inside these long boxes. Quality is okay wish some areas where a little bit more reinforced with thicker wood. Would definitely recommend professional installation. Our 2 yr old loves this play set we basically have our own park in the back yard and she will get at least another 10 yrs of use out of it.
