Wonderful play set!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a year ago and my children still haven’t gotten bored of it!! It’s great for my almost 2 year old (with supervision of course) my 4 and 5 year old and the love it! The swings are replaceable and I was able to switch the big swing out for my toddler swing!

It’s an ok set

Overall the swing-set is ok. Quality does not reflect the price of this. The slide is very cheaply made. Two sturdy pieces of plastic with a thin flexible piece of plastic run down into the groves. 1st day the slide is broken when my 8yr old about 55 lb child went down. We will be reinforcing the floor board for the play house as it doesn’t seem that sturdy. Putting it together was fairly easy but time consuming. 2 pieces were mislabeled and the roof that came pre assembled had too thick of a piece of wood that we needed to shave down. Not huge deals. Only thing I’m really disappointed in is the slide and wish it was higher and a sturdier quality for what we paid.

Sturdy & easy directions

We just finished assembling this playground. It took the better part of 3 days and 3 people (sometimes 4). All pieces are labeled well. It helps to organize before assembling. We had all the “H” pieces in one area in numerical order, “M” in another spot, “F” in another spot and so on. One person read directions, one found pieces and two assembled (when we had 4 people). It’s important to double check that pieces are facing the correct direction so all pre-drilled holes are in the right spots. Boards on their own seems soft and possibly flimsy, but once assembled, it is very sturdy and solid! Can’t wait for my kids to play on it!

A lot of swing set for the price

The purchase and assembly of the Skyfort II from Sams Club went very smoothly. The freight company driver was nice enough to haul all four boxes up my driveway and put them into the garage. A short time after delivery the assembly company set up a time to put the fort together. One guy came out right at 8am on the scheduled day and worked on the set until sun down (10pm). He then returned the next morning and finished the rest in two hours. I am so glad I had a professional assembly this thing. It is huge with hundreds of parts. It was well worth the extra money. The set is nice and sturdy. The kids absolutely love it.

Great set, swings are dissapointing

Instructions were excellent and assembly was time consuming but overall smooth and easy. The play set is awesome, the only part lacking is the swings. They are a bit too close together for safe swinging with 3 swings all in use. We try to leave the middle swing empty. Wish the swing beam was a little longer to spread them out further. The entire playset creaks when the swings are in use which is a little sketchy until you get used to it. Kids are 5 and 2.5 and are really loving the playset.

Fabulous product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced a smaller swing set with this and are thrilled with it! Our granddaughters love it! It was not difficult to put together as it has thorough instructions. The variety of swings, the slide, the climbing wall and so much more makes it to be so fun for the grands. We love that the slide is one piece. We are very pleased with it and can't wait to have years of memories made on it!

family loves it!

It did take a lot longer to build than was stated, however, my friend and I had never done a build like this. The app instructions are great, the 3D capabilities were a game changer compared to just black and white paper instructions. My only “issue” is the I have mine raised on blocks to allow for 12” of “filler” (mulch) which was recommended for safety reasons from several different website, however, the ground stakes/anchors are not long enough to accommodate for this. So I had to spend yet a little bit more money to purchase anchors that would work. But at the end of the day, very high quality! The pre drilled holes all aligned perfectly, and well, my kid (and wife) absolutely love it!!!

the kids like it...

Overall i must say it is a good value for the price. on the other hand, the saying "you get what you pay for" is some what true with this set. Even though this set is priced lower than other sets looked at, there are some areas where the manufacturer could improve. HARDWARE AND WOOD The hardware is on the skimpy side. Washers were breaking out of the bag, protective coating on hardware comes off. Wood is cracked and bent/bowed, right out of box. DELIVERY The delivery came sooner than expected. The only problem with that is they gave me not time to prepare. Delivery instructions say the delivery company will contact you a day before. Try 1 hour. Delivery company sends one person to deliver this huge pallet. Driver asked wife to help unload pallet since its impossible for him to do alone. Wife refused and driver was upset and on his way back. Wife had to ask neighbor to help. INSTRUCTIONS Even though instructions are very good, there are some areas where the instructions could be clearer. Where the orientation of wood is important for future steps, it would help to have all the features (holes/c'bores/notches) on wood displayed on picture. That way you can see which set of holes go to what end. On some instances you have to drill new holes, or take it apart and fix, causing frustration and more time. Took me 2 full days to assembly with my 7 and 11 year old as helpers. Once was completed, was worth every second, and cent.

We bought this clubhouse last year from Sams. All the other places we ordered from I had to send back. When we received it we went ahead and started organizing. If anything was missing all we had to do was call and they sent out a replacement immediately. I know this because they had to send out 2 things that we thought we didn't have when we actually did. No questions asked. It has been a year and the sealer we applied still looks great. What a great investment. All the kids that come over love it. We also used 4 tons of rubber mulch around it. We couldn't be more happy.

Awesome Play Set

Very impressed with the detail that was put into this product. Each board was numbered, drilled and cut to perfection. Each hardware bag was stamped and easy to read. Nothing missing. Yes, it did take 2 workers 2 1/2 days to put together but it is well worth it. Tools included worked just fine. We did cheat and use drill motors to put the bolts in though. Every time i see my grandson playing on it (even in the rain), all i can do is smile and know we picked the right set.
