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 😕

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!

Purchased the skyfort-ii back in March. Had a company do the install because I dont have the patience for this type of assembly. Only con I have about this set is that the screws that come with it are horrible! One on the monkey bars was snapped off and luckily it was me who tried it out cause a kid probably would have gotten hurt falling that far. Bought extra cedar boards for the sandbox area and extended the flooring.

We bought this a couple weeks ago and it came in fast. It took my dad, step-brother, and myself 3 days to complete. Some tips: 1. When you first get it, open all of the boxes and line the matching pieces up somewhere for ease of access. It'll save you a lot of time instead of getting them out of the box as you need them. Same with the nuts, bolts, screws, washers, ect. There are a LOT of pieces. Each box has a packing list of what's in that box. Step one, for example, requires pieces from box #1 and #2. 2. The wood is extremely soft, so make sure you pre-drill holes where it's needed. The company will replace damaged parts, but you don't want to wait the days or weeks it'll take to get them so be careful! If you have pets that like to chew on things, make sure they don't get ahold of the wood as they WILL destroy the wood very easily. 3. To shorten the build time, one person should get the parts ready for the next step. Looking for the wood pieces and especially the screws, ect. can be time consuming. Also, it helps to write the numbers on the screws, nuts, ect. in bigger writing on the bags they come in to locate them more easily. It WILL save you some time. 4. The screws, bolts, washers, ect. only come with ONE extra of each (or none in some cases) so be prepared to have to take a trip to Lowes, ect. if you lose any or have damaged parts. 5. The roofing pieces and some of the floor pieces are pre-built for you. This is great, but look for any that are not flush when they were put together. We had one pre-built flooring piece in particular that was not flush and thus we had to go to Lowes to get longer bolts than the ones that were provided because the pre-built piece that was not flush made the bolts they came with a little too short. 6. Try to place it on level ground so that the side attachments (monkey bars, swings, rock climbing wall, and slide) are able to be attached easily. 7. It says it in the installation manual, but I wanted to stress this so you save as much time as possible: PAY ATTENTION to the pre-drilled holes in the pieces of wood that have them and make sure they're the same that the manual shows them. This includes the L-Brackets as well. This WILL as you get closer to completion. 8. Take your time and enjoy it, because it is very time consuming. The finished product is worth it! Have fun and I hope your kids enjoy it. :)

This swing set is great! Just wish that it didn't take so long to put together - my hubby who is great with building things, and fixing them, spent A LOT of time (i think 3 weeks) after work putting this thing together. It came in 4 big boxes - NOTHING is put together. The quality is not the best, but pretty decent - some boards cracked when hubby was putting it together...but him being great with fixing things, he thought of something to save those boards and they are fine now. For the price though its a great buy - hubby said for the hardware alone, it would cost over 300 dollars to buy - plus it is a great design - our boys love the outlook balcony on top, they can see everything :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this set earlier this year and its awesome! It looks great, the kids love it. However there was an obscene amount of different hardware that absolutely could have been more standardized rather than having 30 kinds of screws, 30 kinds of bolts. Assembly is not at all user friendly because of this. You spend 3/4 of the time trying to find the right pieces for each step. Also, it took enough time sorting all the pieces, wood and hardware, that they ended up sitting out for a few days until I could start and throughout assembly. During this time quite a few planks started to warp, crack, some way worse than others. It wasnt so bad at first so I started putting it together, by the end of it I'd wished I'd made a warranty claim but by that time I just wanted to get it finished. It looks good, the kids have fun, but assembly was made way more difficult than it could be, and the quality of the lumber was not great especially for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great, durable purchase! It took my husband about a week to completely finish it on his own, while working on other things at home too. The materials are of good quality, and the finished product is beautiful! We had one board on the climbing wall split while adding the hand holds. My husband was able to cut a board to fit. The color doesn’t match, but the kids don’t mind. I have kids ranging from teenagers to toddlers, and they have all been on the play set at some point or another. It’s definitely sturdy enough to hold older kids, although I don’t let them swing on it like they would on a structure at the park. My big kids can sit on the swings, climb in the fort, and use the monkey bars without it feeling rickety. I’m glad we went with this brand and spent the extra money. It was well worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of summer for my 6,5 and 2 year old. It definitely was higher than I had anticipated and I’ve had to be very careful with my kids in it. Monkey bar area is very high and is about a 3-4 ft drop from hanging for my older kids. However it is a great swing set for them to grow into. I put together almost exclusively by myself within 5 days with the help of my kids (haha). Only complaint with instructions was to very closely pay attention to pilot holes for directionality. Had to undo several steps on a few occasions. And the markings on the boards were VERY faint. Difficult to read which pieces were what for building. Kids love it and I have been very happy with it!

We really labored over the decision of which brand and style of playset to buy. WE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE! This swing set rings with joy from the very moment moment the kids (5,3,3) run outside. The only downside is that the kids are howling with rage when we tell them it's bedtime -- they just want to keep playing! It is a high-quality, easy-to-assemble play set. With detailed preparation and patient assembly, you can put it together yourself. Before starting, sort all the metal elements into little baggies numbered by step. Check all the lumber and make sure it's in good order (we did not have any problems, but checking ahead will yield dividends if any issues arise). And of course, make sure your ground is clear and level before you start -- or you'll have issues once it's time to bring it all together. We live in Zone 4B (COLD & snowy winters) so we sealed it by hand with multiple coats of a high-quality sealant. It takes time but it's worth it. Our playset is over a year old now and looks fresh and new. It was a bit creaky at first (this is to be expected with fresh lumber) but now it has settled into the earth and is solid as a rock. The glider is perfect for our twins, who are not old enough to pump a swing on their own -- and it gives us adults a break from pushing them for hours at a time! The clubhouse is the perfect place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. We often have all our neighbors over and the whole set brims with kids from age 1 (supervised in the sanbox) up through 12. If you're having a hard time landing on an option, I would say: You can't go wrong with this one. We're loving it (and when the kids are all done, it will have a future life as a very dynamic chicken coop!)

We had been looking for a play set with great features and an affordable price tag and this is it. Our 5 year old loves it! He absolutely loves having picnics at his play set. Set up took us a full day and half with 2-4 adults. The pieces were all labeled well, but pay attention to the orientation of the predrilled holes and where they should line up. The set is sturdy and hardware appears heavy duty. There were a few floor planks that had already had splintering when we installed, that would be my only complaint. Overall we are very satisfied. As of now we have had it up for 3 weeks.
