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!

Almost perfect Nearly perfect! Easy (but long) instructions. Did almost everything with one person. Came up short by 3 on one bag of screws, but brass wood screws are easy to find. A few boards were warped but not unusable. It has a great warranty and if I wanted to have BYD replace those parts, they would in an instant. Give yourself 3-4 days if you are doing this by yourself, 2-3 with 2 people. The monkey bars are 7.5 ft off the ground so we are waiting to install them until we have wood chips down. The most important part? The kids love it!

We really like this unit. My kids were desperate for a play structure while parks were closed. They're on it every day. My only complaint is the wood is fragile. Most of the deck boards split on installation with one board splitting completely and the top layer peeling off. We can already see we'll need to give it some TLC sooner than later. With that being said We did NOT request replacement parts and expected a wood structure to require maintenance, just not immediately.

The kids love to play with all the features, but it is also time consuming to assemble. Just plan on having plenty of time , and one other person. 1 person to read the manual , and 1 to go grab the parts and then assemble. very happy with it .. no parts missing and it all fit the way it was supposed to.

The delivery was fast from date of purchase. The directions are a bit overwhelming. At times they are not clear ( such as which way the holes go, and how certain pieces fit together) and you don't realize it until you are putting it together. It will take 2 adults to put it together if not 3. My best advice is when you are putting it together go through the book and see which pieces fit together so you know which way the pre-drilled holes go on certain pieces. Even better advice pay someone else to put it together . Not all our pieces where In the correct boxes as it stated in the directions, but we did have everything. Which can be frustrating. It is a good buy, and the kids love it.

Bought this a month ago, we were suprised by the fact in came in such compact boxes. At first I was worried about setup, but my husband was able to set it up in three partial days. It is perfect for our two-year-old, he calls it his house and often eats in the lower table. It is also perfect for our 13 year old to also able to join in on the fun. Overall very conent we made this purchase!

[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!

This swingset is excellent for the money. It is well built and my son loves to play on it. As previous people have stated, definitely inventory prior to setting it up. We had a number of damaged or missing items, but customer service was fantastic with replacements. We did have an issue with delivery, which was clearly not Sam's fault, but the delivery people were ridiculous. They lost our first order, and claimed it was delivered when we never received it. Then they tried to claim that they were only going to drop the items curbside and not place in garage. These are boxes that weigh over 100lbs, and I have a 300 foot driveway. I called Sam's right away and they handled it and straightened it out for me! That is great member service. This set does take a while to put together, but the instructions are very well laid out. To make the building process go smoother, we arranged all the materials by item number and not by page number. I would definitely recommend this swingset to neighbors and friends

Our kids, ages 12, 8, 6, 4 and 3 love this "fort". It is loads of fun and they enjoy the different features. Assembly took some time, but my husband did it alone. I only had to help hold random pieces at times. Bottom line, the kids are happy, so we are happy!

My husband and his father started on swingset had most done in 1 day. My husband finished swingset in a total of 16 hrs. mostly by himself. Time comsuming, directions were a little different but he did not complain and had no problems. It was a b-day gift for our 3yr old, he loves it.
