Great, fun family project

Ordered this item online and received in 4 large, heavy boxes. Items were all numbered and easy to find. Note that the assembly takes min. 2 adults to assembly and directions are very hard to understand. Some things had to be taken back off and switched around the other way. But after finished, playground is amazing!! Sturdy, great quality and loads of fun!! And attractive of course!! Would highly recommend if able to properly assemble with lots of friends.

Great Quality

We bought this for our sons 2nd birthday. This is something he can grown into and the quality is definitely you get what you pay for. We were impressed by the quality as we had looked at other play set that cost just about the same. You really get your moneys worth with this play set. We had about 8 kids (ages 2-10) of our friends over for his birthday and they all LOVED it! We did add a toddler swing had to purchase that separate. It took my husband and father in law a few days to put it together. FOLLOW the directions. Print them out and look them over before starting it will make it easier. We are very pleased with this purchase.

Perfect for us

We love this play set. It is sturdy, the company had great customer support, directions were easy to follow. The hardest part for us was to create a level area to build. We took the following advice and it was helpful: - Inventory all boxes when they arrive. The company two-day mails any broken/ missing pieces via their website. - Double coat all pieces with water sealant before building (it took almost 4 gallons.) - Layout out all boards alphabetically to make them easier to find as you build. - Build the first steps on very level ground, like a deck. Then move this box structure into place when directed. - My husband built the main frame in order while I built things that are independent, like the climbing wall, ladder, money bars, swing A-frame... - The picnic table must be built in the structure, but note that it was one of the more difficult steps. - We also put the top window towards the front like the promotional picture and not like the instructions - a very simple switch.

Everything we'll ever need!

We bought and had this assembled this for our 3 year old daughter a week before everything shutdown due to COVID-19. This was probably the best investment we have ever made. It's taught our daughter so much and challenges her with new obstacles daily. She loves the swing and the lookout the most. It is sturdy and has everything we will need from monkey bars, to a sandbox (which we filled with smooth pebbles), and even a bench for some fine dining.

GEM of BACKYARD

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Backyard Discovery Skyfort II with Wave Slide Cedar Swing Set/PlaySet - Assembled One of the best investments I ever made. We did lot of research on the internet to buy a good swing set with tree house, monkey bars, a slide , a rock climber and a little party table for our grand kids. After a lot of research finally we have decided to buy “Backyard Discovery Skyfort II with Wave Slide Cedar Swing Set/PlaySet – Assembled” It was a wise decision that we opted for professional assembly. Technician John was an excellent technician and did a perfect job assembling the set in 9 hours. Since the day we installed the set, kids have been playing and enjoying it. Our neighborhood kids also come and play. In fact couple of my grand kids friends in the neighbourhood are asking their parents to buy a house next to our house to play all the tie on the Swing Set. This set is not only attractive to kids but also to grownups My daughter who is a senior executive and is working from home made the party table her home office during sunny days enjoying the perfect weather and get more work done that way. It deffinitely enhanced the looks of our backyard. Most important for me is our grandkids are enjoying it. They look forward to come home from school and go play with the Backyard Discovery set. They invite friends are having a good time. All quality and sturdy material was used and I am sure it will last several years. I confess, I am tempted to go play with the set. I highly recommend this product over others. Most importantly, I highly recommend professional installation.

excellent design

Biggest play set in the neighborhood. All the kids come to our house for the monkey bars and sandbox. It was pretty hard to put together but overall we are very happy with it and it was worth the time to set up. We installed half in our garage and moved to the yard. Moving required PVC pipe that we used as a conveyer belt system and it worked well. We wish there was more room between swinging items as its hard for kids to get off when others are swinging

just as pictured

This set is beautiful, exactly as pictured. It took every bit of 2 days to put it together, but my kids love it. Missing some hardware, be sure to check before attempting to assemble. some of the hardware was difficult to find at our local stores. Otherwise I would highly recommend this product.

My Kids Love It!!

We bought this for our 3 sons (ages6, 2 and 6 months), they all absolutely love it, the older two more than the baby! There is plenty of room for our kids, plus their friends to play. We also added our infant swing from our old set, but with the glider and swing there is plenty of places for all the kids to swing. The estimated 20 hours for assembly was accurate, it would not have taken as long if the directions would have been clearer. There were a few times that we had to look ahead in the directions. We also had to take things apart and put them back together again. My husband is very handy, so that also helped. It also helped that we organized the wood and hardware before we started so that everything was easy to locate. I have since talked to another mother who bought a smaller set and now wishes that she had bought the skyfort too. It is a great set for the money.

My kids love it!

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!

Perfect for wide age range

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.
