Easy to put together and so fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our two kids, as playgrounds have been shut down/not safe due to COVID-19. It took 3-4 people to put together in 2 days. Easy enough to do and we are really happy with the finished product, and our kids LOVE it!! So fun.

Swing set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had the swingset for about a year. Definitely wobbles win more than two or three kids are on it. The steering wheel fell off within six months. Overall OK for her to use but not the highest quality.

Easy to set up! Kiddos love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our play set last month and we have been very happy so far! The set was fairly simple to put together and had very simple instructions. My husband did it by himself but having an extra hand would probably make set up go faster. Kids are so excited to go out and play on it every day!!

Lots of things to do!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a little over a month ago and it was easy to build and has so many options of things to do for its size, my 3 year old son loves it! Hey was missing two pieces for monkey bars but everything else was there.

High Quality - well made

We are so very pleased with the strong, high quality of the wood and accessories. It's very sturdy. Grand kids just love this. They also love the sandbox below. My husband had it up in no time at all. The directions and illustrations were accurate and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Gorilla Review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this a couple months back and it arrived with one box completely open with another hardware box missing. I provided the info to the company who worked to correct the issue. It is now all up and assembled a few weeks later. So far we love the swingset and so glad we bought it. We will see how it holds up over time.

Fast shipping and Excellent product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried about long shipping times (everything is having shipping issues lately), but this set was about 10 days from order to my driveway. I was amazed. It took my husband and I about three days (not working non-stop) and I sealed it after about two weeks. Husband was a little irritated by hardware packaging (being in different locations in the shipping/some bagged/some boxed, but all the necessary parts were there in the end. We love the set!

Solid Set with Poor Packaging and Sad Instructions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of other reviewers have correctly addressed this play set's quality. It's real wood (light wood, but real) and the hardware isn't so cheap that I'm left concerned it's going to corrode after two seasons and fall down. My main beef with the thing was the packaging and setup instructions. My wife, father-in-law, and I got it done in about 10 hours total, but that could EASILY have been 6 or 7 hours if we didn't have to spend so much time sorting through hardware. The wood is labeled well enough. There are a lot of pieces, so at first you'll spend a little time searching for the right one, but as the pile thins, that becomes easier. But the hardware? I thought it was a joke! The hardware (of which there is a ton) comes in three boxes. There are easily several hundred pieces, including all the bolts, nuts, screws, washers, lock washers, t-nuts, and screws - and apart from a few things that were pre-bagged, it was all just LOOSE HARDWARE. Then, adding insult to injury, the labels for the hardware in the instructions don't match the printing on the hardware itself. You're forced to actually measure the bolts to make sure you're getting the right size. And it's not like there were 10 four-inch bolts and 20 eight-inch bolts. There's at least 8 sizes, many of which differ from each other by only a quarter or half of an inch. Toward the end of the build, we were left with two bolts of slightly different sizes, one of which was too small for its intended application, resulting in a hardware store run. End of the world? No, but so completely preventable. At that point in the process, there was no way of knowing if we'd not received the right number of bolts or if we'd used one incorrectly six hours before. Asking the buyer to sort through all the carriage and hex bolts on their own to inventory what they received against the packing list is burdensome and silly. With a few extra labels and plastic bags, Gorilla could make this a lot easier. But no, they just dump all the metal parts in a couple of boxes and say good luck. All in all a good set, but either count all 500 pieces before you begin or have a hardware store in mind to hit up when you find out you're missing one critical part.

Great overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our kids are loving this set! We've had it for about 4 months and some of the wood is already splitting and showing wear. Hopefully it holds up ok. One complaint is that the swings are too close together. I'm happy with the size and features overall.
