Awesome but tricky

For the money, this set is outstanding, HUGE and beautiful. Our 3 kids love it (9,7 &4 yrs old) However there are a few "things".... the swings are too close together and the kids crash into each other AND the slide is just a little flimsy. There are several errors in the directions, but you can improvise pretty easily. As you get close to finishing some of the holes don't quite line up and you will have to drill new ones. Don't be intimidated by the size! A husband/wife team can do this in 3-5 days. Organize and alphabetize all the wood and parts first!! Borrow extra power drill from a neighbor and keep batteries charging.

Great Buy

I bought this set a few months ago and I am so pleased with everything about it. It was delivered in a timely fashion. The workers from the site put it together perfectly. They were very manner able and professional. I bought the set for my grandchildren. I have eight young grandchildren who enjoy it immensely. It was there Christmas present from me. Now they say that my house is the fun house. They love it, so I love it. Thanks for such a great set.

Wonderful Memories being made

We are already having a blast with our swing set, and slide. Wonderful time to have a toy set at home, and keep the family happy, and busy. Our kids love to use this set, at all times of the year, and it is so nice to get outside even when the weather is not the best.

Worth the time to build...I think!

My kids love this, but it took SEVERAL days to build. My husband and I worked two solid days on it and then he put in an additional 3 days to complete it! Our girls do love it though, so I think it is worth it. Maybe you want to consider paying people to put it together?

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.

Great playset!

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)

skyfort

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.

Excellent Swingset

We bought this swingset for our little girl as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loved it!! I put it together by myself mainly and it took me about 20 hours total because I work 40 to 50 hours a week at my job, so I could only work on it here and there. We didn't have any missing pieces and I felt the directions were very easy to follow. Our little girl is only two but she loves it she can even climb the rock wall by herself. I would definetly reccommend this to anyone looking to purchase a swingset!!

Great fun!

My boys (and their cousins and our friends kids) love this play set. We have had it completed about a week and they boys get mad when I tell them they have to eat breakfast before going out to play. We were missing part of the glider and when I called I was told it would take 8-10 business days, which felt excessive to me. Also, it takes a LOT to put this together. I had two friends volunteer to put this together and it took much longer than any of us anticipated, but it does look great and is well constructed.

great swingset

the swing set is great now that it is assembled. the delivery did not go well and we had to go pick it up and that was a difficult process also. the assembly is much more intensive than I thought it would be it took four of us two days to get it done. no part of this set is pre assembled. some of the board were not marked very well and we were short some important screws other screws we had several extras. the quality of the wood and the parts is excellent our boys will be enjoying this for a long time.
