super happy

overall really impressed. stained it and put together in a few days with a helper. Sturdy as heck and kids love it. Bought the child swing seat too and was a great choice. Tons of extra screws at the end but everything is solid as can be. Slide is super fast for a 2 year old

Halppy Son Happy Life

We bought this Skyfort II 2 months ago. It took my husband roughly 20 hours to put it together.Our 3 year old couldn't love it more. We are out daily for at least 2 hours a day so he can play on his Skyfort II. He uses every feature on it. His favorites are the slide and the climbing wall. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Skyfort II Cedar Swing Set

We were excited to get this ordered for our grandchildren. We ordered on a Sunday and had it delivered on Thursday - swift delivery! One of the boxes was ripped and one piece of wood was wrecked and the slide had a dimple in it. But one quick phone call and those two pieces were on their way as replacement. The swing set was built over a few weekends, but the instructions were great and assembly went very smoothly. The grandkids are absolutely thrilled with their new swing set and we were very happy with the product.

Amazing product

My husband and I purchased this swing set a month ago for our kids. My husband built it all by himself and did a fabulous job with the help of your directions app. Our kids could spend hours and love playing on it. I feel very comfortable with craftsmanship and quality of this product. Definitely a great investment.

Great playset with a few minor gripes.

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.

Awesome play set with even better directions!

I read all the previous reviews before I purchased this product and everyone was spot on. It does take a LONG time to assemble but the directions are amazing and very easy to follow. It is even better once you get a little way into the project as it definitely gets easier and quicker to finish steps. I would definitely suggest to sort out and inventory all the contents of the boxes before starting. It is very helpful to have one person gather wood and sort the hardware while another person supervisors and one or two people actually do the work. This will consolidate the amount of days you must work in order to complete the playset.

My daughter loves this set. Nothing feels cheap on it. It did take my husband a couple of days to put together but it was well worth the wait. My only suggestion is to stamp the wood better bc it got tough trying to read the stamps on the wood to put it together. The delivery was great got it quicker than we were supposed to.

Built to last

It's been a year since we purchased and built the sky fort II and we couldn't be happier. The construction process was straight forward and the instructions were well written. Construction took a full weekend. Had a helper for the first day and everything went pretty quick even after by myself. Using multiple screw guns/impact drivers sped things up with not having to change bits all the time. My kids love the set and they will get years of playing out of it. Definitely something they can grow with. I absolutely recommend this. It does have a large footprint so you'll need the space. Very sturdy and solid! After 1 year exposed to direct sun the factory finish is starting to fade so it will need regular up keep on the water sealing but I think that's started in the manual.

Good for the money

My husband and I checked online for several hours comparing prices and features of the different types of playsets that were on several websites, I suggested we take a look at the sams club site and see what they had. This was the first play set that showed up on the screen after reviewing it and comparing against what we had looked at, we were convinced it was perfect! So we ordered it on a sunday and it was delievered by the next friday! I was so tickeled one week to recieve it and every single part was accounted for. It took myself and my husband working two very long days to put it together, but the smiles we recieved along with a few hugs and thank yous from our kiddos made it worth ! I would love for the wood to be a harder wood but it's a wonderful playset for the right price, we would know after hours of looking and my husband has put several together and he is happy with it quality price and all!

Everything we wanted!

We tried purchasing playset last year, but all the ones that we were interested in were sold out. I’m so glad we waited for this one. It includes all the features we were looking for and has something for both our 4 and 1.5 year old with room to grow. I expect the 4 year old can enjoy this for another 6+ years. My husband read many reviews before purchasing this and was a little concerned about the comments regarding confusing instructions. He is happy that we went with this one and has said multiple times that he doesn’t agree with those reviews. Yes, it took us close to 20 hours to put together, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We had no issues with missing or broken pieces.
