First thing is first.CHECK your inventory!! We lucked out and only had 3 boards missing-there was a delay,because the company sent it to the wrong address,but lucky us. UPS called me and got it here exactly a week later.We are still in building phase,due to weather.We have swings and monkey bars left.. I researched for a year to find just the right playset for our family of 9 kids.We hadn't even been members of sams club until my dad showed me a picture of this playset.We became members and bought this wonder toy!We are taking another playset and running a tube from one to the other....I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE!The revies were a HUGE factor in my decision making!

We have had this playset for about a year and it is holding up well. There are many different activities and it can easily entertain 5-6 kids without them running into each other. I love the crows nest, but our kids don't go up there yet, but the slide and swings are a big hit. The climbing wall, ladder and monkey bars make me a little nervous because our kids are still small, but even our not quite 2 year old navigates the ladder well, and our not quite four year old fly up the climbing wall with ease. Assembly was a major task, but the directions are adequate if not great and you will get there if you inventory the parts and take a measured approach. I have some concerns about long term look and durability, as some of the boards seem a little thin for some of the stresses they endure (kids swinging on them, running and jumping on them), and the finish is also not great and is starting to show wood underneath already. However, until these become major issues rather than just speculative concerns, I am fine.

this sing set is great. all the peices were labled and the directions made it very easy to set up. it is very time consuming. It took us 3 1/2 days with 3 people to put it together. now that is is up our kids love it, we had a birthday party and very kid wanted to play on it.

Took me about 60hrs to build by myself over a months time, gotta pace yourself. I also stained/resealed as I went for longevity. Also make sure to flag hardware packs with tape and relabel in numerical order, and put back as you go. Saves a lot of time. In the end, the happiness it’s brought my kids is worth 1000 times the cost of the product. It’s well built and the whole family can fit in the tower too!!

Wanted something to help get the kids out of the house more when the weather was nice. We live so far away from the closest park, so I wanted something close to home, so we got this play set. A neighbor and I put it together in a few afternoons and we had no problems. Once up, it looks really good and the kids really love it!

Instructions are hard to follow. Parts are difficult to find. But the main disappointment is in the quality of the wood. Ours has been up for two weeks and the wood is showing major signs of wear. The wood is super soft and scuff marks and dents are there and some boards are peeling up. Think is should have been much better quality for the amount of money.

Great entertainment for my 3 children. When I recieved this product I inventoried this product by seperating it into 10 steps at a time per instruction booklet. I purchased Thompsons Water Seal (Honey Cedar) and sealed all boards before assembly. Recommend to have a cordless impact drill and a standard cordless drill, one for lag bolts and one set up for pilot holes. Took approx. 12hrs to unpackage, organize, and waterseal. Approx. 12hrs to assemble. Recommend to purchase sand box liner with cover or I purchased 1x6 doug fir and painted green to match green on playset for more play area.

I bought this to replace a smaller swing set. It took five adults about two days to assemble. Had a great "family" time while working on the new set. I purchased this set to allow my oldest grandchild (13) to play with her younger brother and cousins. The grandchildren wanted to play on it while we were doing the assembly. Had no problems with the assembly. Laid out all parts, separated the parts then assembled each section according to the instructions. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Loved by all.

We have three kids (3, 7, 9) and wanted to find something that would entertain all of them. Some of the other sets were geared to either the littler or bigger kids while this set is perfect! The monkey bars are perfect for the older kids and the little one likes the the rest of it. The bird nest is always exciting for new kids that come over. The slide is fast! The little one took about 10 tries before they figured out to land safely without help. Highly recommend for families that want something that will grow with them and families that have a wide age range of kids! One thing to note it is about 12 hours to assemble including sorting the pieces. The boxes looked intimidating but we were happily surprised that it wasn’t that bad. Only a couple parts needed two adults. My older kids helped sort and grab the pieces.

Despite the undertaking of assembling yourself, this a great playset for any backyard. My suggestion is to unbox all 4 main boxes and layout all parts in alpha-numerical order. Then unbox all hardware and layout in alpha-numerical order. Take a breath and GO!
