Kids love it!

We love this play set. The instructions were not very good especially when it came to lining up specific sides. Our climbing wall has broken off several times so we finally took it off and added another slide, which the kids prefer anyway. Once it's assembled it's awesome!

Very happy!

We are happy with the he product. The wood and hardware meet or exceeded our expectations. The directions were easy to follow. It took us about 14 hours from start to finish. My 2 and 3 year old love it and I feel pretty confident on letting them play with out too much help from me (except for monkey bars). We feel like the price was good for the size and quality of swing set.

Great piece except the slide

I bought this a few months ago. My kids really love it but im really unhappy with the slide. On of the main features and no matter how much we try to keep the plastic in place it keeps popping out at the bottom. Really upset since that's the favorite part and we paid quite a bit and we cant even use the slide 😕

Amazing swing set

I bought this about a month or so ago and my kids absolutely love it, everyday they are out there playing on it. We have had many neighbors comment on how awesome it looks and that they wish they had one for their kids so we just invite the neighborhood kids over to play as well! Directions were easy to follow for the average do it yourselfer, timing was fairly accurate as well. Took me and one of my friend around 30 or so hours to assemble. I love that the swing support beam is a solid 4 x 6 beam and that the support Pillars for the fort were 4 x 4 beams, very solid construction!!

Keeps the kids busy!

We bought this in hopes that both our 2 year old daughter & 9 year old son would both enjoy this set. So far so good! So much to do...so many different features to keep them busy! The only thing I was not happy about was that we paid to have it put together & some random kid showed up by himself to set it up. He was here from morning until 10:00 at night...then he had to come back the next day. The next time I would just hire someone on my own for assembly. The actual playset is awesome tho!

Great Budget Playground!

I was impressed with how well written the instruction were and all the pieces were labeled nicely. We made sure to take the time to seal all the boards before beginning assembly which doubled the total assembly time. Everything fit very well and I only had 2 issues with some of the hardware which was easily remedied with the extra hardware that was included. Some of boards have started to crack now that it's been put together for a month+ but so far nothing super concerning. My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves playing on it! This will provide years of fun for her and it looks great in the backyard too.

Great swingset with reservations

I bought this a few months ago but just now finishing up putting it together. Love the that all the nuts and bolts were clearly marked in their respective bags. Made it easier to put together than guessing what size screws they were. Some of the hard fasteners and screws were deformed and not usable, although I found extras in the bag. Some of the woods was softer than others and the screws went deep when using a drill. Others the screws would just spin and would not hold the board. This was prevalent in the crows nest. I also had boards spilt (J1 crows nest) so the crows nest is off limits until I can replace the 2 J1 boards and some of the sides posts on the crows nest. One of the picnic table boards will need to be replaced as it split pretty bad, I haven't connected the slide yet the way it fastens to the deck (the slide material) leaves me a little worried. I would recommend fastening the 2 side frames to the deck as well. The swing set balancing on a small ledge is scary. I plan on adding an additional and thicker board to help support the swing beam. Overall I think the wood should be a bit thicker. Since the wood is not treated I sat the main body on top of pressure treated 2x6s. I was disappointed that the wood is not sealed and I needed to weather proof the wood. Some of the boards were warped or bowed in such a way the did not sit flush on other boards. There were several steps in the build I held off because I knew I would need to adjust them to ensure other parts fit. I would also recommend adding an additional bar to the monkey bars as the first one is a little far for the younger kids. with an additional bar, it would also place the one next to the fort a little closer so the kids don't need to grab the wood frame. I am afraid that one may crack after a while. Having all the parts marked was a tremendous help and I would recommend separating the parts by steps, so you are not hunting for parts as you put them together. I found it easy to put together and I did the majority myself. Definitely need an extra hand putting the swing beam and monkey bars in place. Also Este delivery was awesome and went above and beyond delivering right to my garage over a 130" driveway. My grand kids are super excited and had already started testing it out. I know they will have loads of fun as soon as I finish up the last details. They are anxious for me to give the green light on the crows nest. Definitely a great looking swing set with lots of activities. I will add photos after fully complete.

Great addition to the backyard

We bought this for our 4 year old on her birthday. All the neighborhood kids couldn’t wait for us to finish assembling so they could play. The play set was packaged well and all the parts were there and in perfect condition. It looks great and kids love it.

Love this playset!

We bought this for our son's 4th birthday and he has loved it! Friends and cousins come over and play on it all the time. It is perfect for our 15 month old daughter (we added a baby swing) and all the way up to my 10 year old nephew. The installation crew also was amazing. It would've taken us months to install and it took them a day!
