Purchased this playset from Sam’s and from purchase to set up was perfect. Playset delivered and installed within 2 weeks of Christmas with no issues. The techs even replaced a broken piece without me having to do anything! Kids enjoy playing on the set just wish it had a 2 person glider instead of the handle bars and it is smaller than the picture but overall a great purchase with no regrets,

This is a great product. It IS a lot of work to build...but not as bad as some say. Mostly myself, with my dad twice for about 6 hours total, and me alone about 18...so 24ish (with kids bugging me!). LAY OUT ALL BOARDS, categorize, and inventory all things first. SAVES you time...only takes about 2 hours (i used garage floor). You will have TONS of extra hardward, seems they pack 1 way for all their sets. Most boards are great, some are crooked/cracked, and they do splinter...leading to my 4* quality review...but its fairly minimal, and looks great, sturdy, fun, and kids love it. TIPS: Have a drill/screwgun with power or multiple power packs. You need 3/8 and 3/16 drill bits, 1/2 in hex heads and phillips screwdriver all the time! Dont overtighten hex bolts. Some boards may need holes moved/cut if you're not totally square or if alignment off. Window switch could be done, I didnt' b/c I forgot! MAKE SURE right side swing beam is level or you won't get that bolt in! READ AND RE-READ instructions...they're ok, but do NOT clearly spell out which way to turn boards or what side is up/down left/right. You can easily install a piece wrong and find out too late! LOOK AHEAD to see where other holes go and line-up... COOL set though...worth the $$ and effort.

This swingset is huge. Well worth it vs a few other comparable brands. Assembly took about 17 hour. Was missing two pieces. They were the top roof rafters. Needed 4 only had 2. So I just made 2 new ones out of 1x4 and used the others for a stencil. To make assembly fast for everyone here are some tips I figured out. 1. Use a impact driver for all the bolts 2. Get every piece of wood out of the boxes. Make piles for each box and then sort the boxes into letters. Keep the boxes separated. So while using the packing list to find parts you can walk right up to your pile and grab them. 4. Big time saver. I would recommend buying a box of ziploc bags. Take the hardware and go through each page and number the steps and number the bags and sort out each part for every step. This way all you have to do is grab a bag and get to work. That saved a ton of time building this thing. You will need at least a 8ft ladder fyi

We bought this for our daughter's 5th birthday on March. It was very complicated to put together and the instructions were, often times, less than ideal. However, we persevered and after two weekends of full days, the set was together. Our daughter loves it and wants to be out there playing every day.

I bought this one year ago and it's the best purchase I ever made for my grandsons! It arrived on time and my son put it together by himself over a weekend and as he's told me so many times, he's not a carpenter! He started building Saturday morning and completed it late Sunday morning! Of course the boys had to help him❤. Now one year later it still looks new and the boys have had a blast and have been entertained. It's sturdy, well built, and we've enjoyed watching them as much as they've enjoyed playing on it. If you're thinking of buying it, do it. You won't be disappointed!

We had it in the garage awhile before we built it. It went together fairly easily. We We did a lot of prep work in water sealing each board and sorting parts which allows us to do most of the build in one 9 hour day with 4 people. It isn't quite finished in this picture but if you look closely, you can see that even the cat likes the hideaway.

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.

The Skyfort kit makes a very sturdy swing set. Take the time to do a complete inventory before starting the project. We were short 1 board and had one split board. The company had the boards to us in two days. Put all the hardware in plainly labeled bags or containers. Read the instructions through before starting, then read a couple of steps ahead before assembling the one you are on so you will know what goes next and how it fits. It took us 4 hours to inventory and blue tape boards and four days to build it. We had 3 cordless drills and used them all constantly. We tightned most bolts and lag screws by hand to prevent crushing wood. When finished it is very sturdy and the kids love it. My wife and I built it for grandkids at their house, and we are not pros, so you can do it!

Love this playset! Searched a long time for just the right one and this is it. Sam's had the best price as well. This set has everything you need and liked that this one wasn't SO high off the ground(clubhouse area) like some of the others for fear of falling off & getting really hurt. You won't be disappointed! We weren't missing any pieces and didn't have any damaged pieces either. It does take a long time to put together so be prepared for that! (but the end result is worth it)

I have to say I would guess this an average product for swing set, not poor materials but just average. The instructions and packaging are absolutely horrible. Every piece needs to be screwed in and assembled. The directions are very poor just plain pics for 100 plus steps. We had top re-drill holes and unassembled at least 10x because the instructions were so poor. Also we had missing screw and bolt hardware and needed to request more and took over 1 week to receive. I would NOT buy this product again just due to the assembly and lack of instructions. Expect 48 - 60 hours of assembly time, with headaches along the way if assembling yourself.
