Purchased for my 10 and 4 year old and both love it! The lookout up top is their favorite feature. You can easily change out the swings for something else like a saucer swing. Wish we had taken the time to stain the wood before assembly as it is already starting to show wear and peeling.

Like many others I spent many hours looking for a swing set and always came back to this one. We have 3 kids (7,5,4) and wanted to find something that could grow with them. It does come in 4 huge boxes. We met the Semi at our local Menards because he had a delivery there and it fit in the back of a pick up truck. We had all the pieces and nothing was broken. Our project took 6 days to complete. We had some rain and my husband works during the day and worked on the swing set at night . My dad helped a few nights. The directions are ok. The picnic table was a little confusing. It would be helpful if they had a north and south direction on the pictures because they change perspectives and it can be hard to tell where some things are suppose to go . Keep looking at the pictures. Hardest part was telling the kids they had to wait. I didn't sort the boxes. Each one comes inventoried with what is in them so I kept a page a head of my husband and pulled pieces for him. We did some of the construction in the garage during the rain or at night. We added a steering wheel and put in the crow's nest and the kids love it. We have had it up for 4 days and they have spent hours on it already! They imagine some really neat things using the crows nest. Overall, well worth the wait. We need to water seal it when it warms up. I also bought the sandbox cover . It is plastic mesh. The snaps are hard to take off. The kids can't do it. I have only been snapping on 2 sides . I am not sure I would buy it again.

This Skyfort is wonderful and quite solid. This 68-year-old grandma put it together with only a little help. It took me a week though. I finished it on Saturday, and my 3 and 6-year-old grandchildren loved it. Their joy was short lived, though, because a massive storm with high winds swept through Dallas on Sunday and uprooted a huge tree that fell on the entire playhouse and crushed it. It was completed less than 24 hours. All of us are devastated but grateful that the Skyfort kept the tree from landing on the house. My children and grandchildren are safe, albeit without gas and electricity for probably several days. This is hard to explain to two little ones. I’m not sure what we’ll do next. Even if I can figure out how to buy this playhouse again, I don’t live in Dallas and don’t know when I could put another one together. Maybe we’ll figure it out. Two crying grandchildren are rather motivating. But thanks for this interactive BILT software. I loved it.

Bought this in spring 2015, has held up really well. we have a 2& 4 year old they use the entire set except the monkey bars for now (too short to reach). we did buy separately a baby swing from Home Depot to sub for one of the swings for our smallest. This did take 2.5 days to assemble with 2-3 men working on it. We have a construction business so we are not building novices, and that why it's not getting 5 stars. Also our yard is not level ( and really whose is perfectly level?) we had to adapt the structure after market for that on our own, not hard but a few extra pieces of wood would have made the process easier.

I recently put this play set together for my kids, and they LOVE it. My mother and I assembled it, and it did take a bit longer than the instructions indicated (we are both relatively skilled at this type of work, and put in 4 solid days of building). On the other hand, the instructions were detailed and accompanied by clear pictures, which made the construction process smooth. All the wood and hardware were included, with extras of commonly used pieces. The resulting swing set it lovely to look at, highly functional, and great fun for both my 1 year old and my 4 year old. The sandbox and double swing are particular hits!

I bought this about 18 months ago. My kids and our neighbors' kids play on all the time. I do have a few complaints though. While the wood appears to be sealed, the color has faded and it looks like it needs another coat of sealer (perhaps that is just part of the upkeep). One of the bolts to one of the swings came out and I couldn't find it. I suppose I need to take the other out and go to the hardware store to match it. Some of the small wood slats came off fairly easily also. Overall, I still think it is a fun set and a decent value.

I just finished assembling and my kids love their new playset. In the COVID era it's really nice to have a playset with so many features. The clubhouse is big enough for a few kids to fit comfortably and the overall design is very functional. The assembly takes a while, yes, but I actually found that using the BILT app along with the manual it wasn't actually that difficult. For sure, you have to pay close attention to where pilot holes are, but the steps are otherwise clear. I did organize all of the wood pieces and hardware first which was very helpful. I would estimate that it took me about 2 hours to organize everything, around 10 hours of assembly time for the individual components, about 20 hours to put the clubhouse together, and another 2 hours to attach everything, finish the crow's nest, and stake to the ground. Again, this took a while but wasn't that difficult. I'm not a carpenter and have only moderate skills in this area so take that for what it's worth. I did have a helper about half of the clubhouse assembly time, and there's only a few steps where it's essential to have two people present. The hardware was very high quality. One wood piece arrived broken, but luckily it was a non-essential piece (seat on the sandbox). The only reason I put 4 stars is that the wood quality is pretty mediocre, which is to be expected at this size and price point. It is pre-stained, so I'm hoping that adding a coat of sealant this fall and stain next spring will help keep things in shape for the next 5-6 years at least. Overall I am happy with my purchase. It looks nice, wasn't complex to assemble on my own, and seems to be a lot of fun for my kids.

This was OK to put together. Put it together all by myself took three days. On the third day I finally organized all of the Nuts and bolts by page that helped a lot. Also, the boards that go straight on the second level really need to be drilled better.

We bought this a couple months ago and took about two full weekends of work to install it (but everything was simple to do ourselves). The kids (3 and 4) absolutely love it so far. It is a bit hot out right now (summer in Phoenix) but it will be great for us come fall and winter.

We have 3 kids, they were 2, 5 and 6 when we purchased this set. We did a good amount of research before choosing this one based on style, features, and price. The initial delivery they forgot the slide, but that seemed to be a product of the delivery people. It took about a week to have it delivered, but it worked out since it was one of the last pieces we needed and it look us longer than that to get to that step. It wasn't too hard for my husband to assemble with a little help. The kids love the variety and it fits great in our backyard. Very happy with this purchase!!
