Very easy to put together. HOWEVER: the pieces are boxed up in no particular order. When assembling, you have to dig through all four boxes to find the pieces needed for a particular assembly. That is VERY time consuming. My wife would search for parts while I assembled them. Took 5 days (24 hours total) to complete. Looks great and the kids LOVE it!

I purchased this product a few weeks before Easter, & with the help of family & friends we were able to assemble it in time. I highly recommend assembling this product with a group of people, because it is very time consuming if you do it with just 2 people. It is a very sturdy product & with proper care I believe it will last a good 10 years or so. My husband & I put a weatherproof coating on it prior to assembly to ensure long lasting use.

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!

I purchased this a year and a half ago. We went for the Cedar one as it was supposed to last longer. At first we absolutely loved it and even recommended a family friend purchase it. Fast forward...A little more than a year later ours is rotting. Super frustrating that we paid extra for the cedar one from the company and it is already rotting. At this point I'm not sure it will be stable for my kids next summer, which puts the cost at 1000 per year. I would not buy again for the price. Not worth it AT ALL. We were expecting a lot longer life than this...

This is a very good quality playset, although some of the directions are not that clear, and alot of the screws require you to use more than one washer which caused us to run out. I called to order more but they took way to long to get here in the mean time we spent extra money to buy more. There were also some damaged boards which the company said they would get right out to us. They took over a week to get here which is a long time when your kids are begging you to finish.

We just got finished with the swingset installation. I bought the installation services from Sam's club for $500. It took the installer three full days to install the set. Though the scheduling was tough with the service, I can't complain about the installer. It does look great and the kids really like it. Here are some cons: 1. You have to walk over the sandbox to get to the play area beside the picnic table. The kids are walking on the sandbox cover, just seems odd to me. 2. The swings are too close together. They should have increased the length of this board to allow for the swings to be further apart. If one child swings a bit 'crooked' they smash into the other child.

Purchased in February, had to wait for the weather to cooperate in April. Very good instructions, proceed slowly, you’ll get there. Grandpa and son-in-law completed this project in several hours over two weekends. Pay attention to other customer comments regarding how to construct this fort. Prior experience working with wood is helpful. Three grandkids required substituting a third swing replacing the teeter-totter that’s shown in the brochure photo.

We bought this a year ago and have enjoyed having our own playground in our backyard! The kids (4&7) love the lookout and the rock wall. It’s perfect for picnics, playing store, and even bring in pillows for lounging. Very sturdy as well. My husband assembled in less than 2 weeks.

My husband is a contractor so he built this himself. It look him about a week- a several hours a day. We are happy with the quality and look. The only feedback I would give is that the slide is not a solid piece, it's like a thick piece of plastic inserted into two slots.

I purchased around a year ago. Got lost in transit. Took around 8 weeks for it to finally be delivered. It takes a whole weekend to put together. It is still in good shape. The color has faded some and some of the screws have to be tightened overtime. Overall we a happy with the swing set. I do wish the look out part was a little more safe. The monkey bars are too high up for small children 5 and under to use safely. So we have them blocked off since we have a young kiddo that could get hurt on them.
