This is a good quality set for a good price. My only frustration is that the slide comes in multiple pieces that have to be put together. I am afraid that it may not be as durable because of this but it is working fine for my 2 year old at this time. The instructions over all are pretty good but can be frustrating at times. Took me and my wife about 20 hours to put together.

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 bought this last year for our grandkids. It was easy to assemble with excellent instructions. Unfortunately it was not anchored properly and blew over during a terrible storm. Your company was great to send the replacement parts needed at very little cost. Now it is secure and the kids love it! The quality of the playset is excellent.

We were missing 18 boards and slide when the swingset was delivered. Once all the pieces came, a week later, none of them were "marked". Putting the swingset up was ridiculous! The boards that were suppose to be the same were completely different lengths, the instructions were not that clear, and the picture did not match the instructions. Some of the wood was very poor quality, corners peeled off, cracks in the middle. After about 26 hours the swingset was finished. The kids, ages 2 and 4 absolutely love it! But we were VERY disappointed while putting it together!!!

This set was a great choice for my active boys! The glider is great for those who can't swing properly yet but I would suggest ordering the bucket seat for those under 4. My husband who is a skilled craftsman, put this together in about 60 hours with 6 hours of help from another neighbor. The key to this is defintely organization. You need to have everything laid out and make sure you read the instructions carefully. Most people would need 2 fairly skilled people to do this over the course of 2-3 weekends! All in all, we are thrilled to have this quality set in our yard!!

Background info: I have 2 girls, ages 7 and 4, and had been thinking of purchasing a swing set for a while. I finally decided to do so with my husband leaving for a deployment to try to keep the kids distracted while he is gone. The good.... - My kids love it. - This is one of the few sets with monkey bars and and has several other great features like the crow's nest. - The clubhouse is really spacious. - Not very expensive for such a large set. The bad.... - It's not expensive; so if you are looking for something long-term, this might not be it. The other reviews clued me in as to how soft and thin the wood is, but I was still a little surprised as to the extent. A neighbor's toddler hit the wood with a stick, and it left dents. Also, the surface (maybe just stain?) was peeling off from day 1, so I had to tell the kids not to pull it apart. The ugly.... - I purchased installation given my husband's deployment and thinking it would be easier that way. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but it took 6.5 weeks from the time of delivery until installation was complete. The first team said my yard wasn't level enough (looked fine until they brought out the line level) and that I needed 500 lbs of fill dirt. I got the dirt that day (even after they tried to say that little old me couldn't possibly pick up the 40-lb bags of dirt myself) and put it in the area they designated. For the next scheduled install appointment, a different team showed up and seemed to think the ground was fine. They couldn't finish due to missing parts and had to come back a week later when the pieces arrived. And now that it's complete, I think the extra dirt actually brought the clubhouse higher than the swing arm, so I'm expecting structural issues down the road. - The set has been installed less than 2 months, and it already has mildew. I know it needs to be sealed, but that seems excessively fast. Bottom line: Your kids will love it. You may or may not. Just know what you're getting into.

When we were looking for a playset for our 4 year old and 1 year old, one of the most important things we took into consideration was how long they would get use out of it. There are many sets out there by big name brands that have tons of features, more than this one even, but the overall "size" of the set is small as far as deck height etc., so it would be outgrown fast. This set is HUGE, as an adult I feel perfectly comfortable playing right along side the kids, and my husband who is 6'4 can even stand up straight inside the upper deck. I have no doubt that they will still be using this playset well into their teens. We purchased an infant/toddler swing off Amazon to switch out with one of the swings until our littlest is old enough to use it. Prior to purchasing/building, I was careful to read through all the reviews to take note of tips and tricks, and there were some I found super helpful and some that were a little over the top. Because we live in an area that gets a decent amount of snow and rain, I did take the time to seal/stain each board prior to building. There is a LOT of pieces so if you do this, give yourself a couple days, it took a long time. I felt that sealing prior to building was best because all the inside edges touching each other that wouldn't be able to get to after building would be covered, and I didn't have to work around any of the hardware. We did not organize everything by letter/number when we laid it outside to stain it, and because we were working towards a deadline to get it done prior to a party, we did not end up taking the time to move them around and do that before starting the build process. I believe that was a mistake and it would've saved us a ton of time during the actual build if we had laid out the boards in order so I highly recommend doing that. On the other hand, I personally disagree with the people who spent hours organizing the hardware into baggies by step. The hardware is very clearly labeled and easy to sift through since it doesn't take up a big area like the boards. We just made sure to use tape to close the bag back off after taking what we needed so there wasn't the risk of them spilling and getting mixed up. I thing the time spent doing that would be better spend just getting started building. We worked in a pair with one completing a step while the other pulled the hardware and boards for the next step and that seemed to work very well. I honestly think any additional people would've just gotten in the way. We were able to easily get through it with the instructions that I printed off this page, and didn't need to download the video ap. The most important thing is to pay double and triple attention to which way you orient the boards when building, so that the pilot holes are in the right spot for preceding steps. I thought we were being really diligent about this, but there were still a few times we had to go back and turn boards around from previous steps. Not a huge deal, but slightly annoying so avoid it as much as possible lol Overall we are super pleased with the set, and found it pretty straightforward to build. All of the wood and hardware was clearly marked and good quality, we weren't missing anything. As long as you pay attention to detail and follow step by step there's really no way to mess it up. It took us a whole week M-F working a couple hours after work each night to stain the boards, then the weekend Saturday and Sunday working all day (about 12 hours each day) to build and were able to finish up Monday after work. So if you don't count the stain/seal time, it took us as a pair just over 24 hours to build.

This is a good quality play set. The Crow's nest is great. It took me about 40 hours to finish the assembly. The instructions were pretty good, but you must read thru each step two times before executing. I have a 3 and 5 yrs old and they love it. The wood was beautiful. I was missing some parts and called Customer Service. They were great and overnite the missing parts to me. I would recommend you get extra 5/16 inch washer. Great product for the price. You won't be disappointed. I am going water seal it in about two weeks. Excellent product and awesome customer service!

We’ve had ours for about a month. It took my handy husband a day and a half to put together. We have kids ages 6months , 2, and 11. The 2 year old and 11 year old have a blast on it. I love that they will be able to to use it for so many years. Looks great and has all the essentials!

I set aside the weekend to put it together... it took me 22 hours by myself. Descent quality materials and easy to assemble. I spent most of my time just sorting through all the pieces. All in all, a good product for the price. Only downside was I had to hand tap all the barrel head nuts. They should look at upgrading that particular item.
