Assembly is worse than you can possibly imagine. Instructions called for a certain parts bag (FAA) that was not shipped. Had to improvise with some of the spare parts and some of the parts from the wrong bag (FAC) they shipped. The majority of the bolts fit into a specific kind of nut that is exceptionally poorly machined. Using only hand tools, I snapped THREE of the bolts because they fit together blindly inside the tubing, and you can't tell if it's hard to turn because it's crossthreaded or if it's the blue loctite they applied to the bolts. If blindly reversing the bolt one-handed to feel a nearly imperceptible 'click' of the threads slotting into place 4 or 5 times until you get it right – times 250 bolts – sounds like fun, you might like this kit. I'd rather remove my own teeth with slip-lock pliers than have to assemble another one of these.

We love this play ground it is large has lots of features and will keep the kids playing for years. My major complaint is the paint on the monkey bars is so slippery yet the paint on the pole is sticky. My kids have fallen several times and because it is so high it is dangerous for little ones.

Bought this for my grandkid's thinking it would be a great addition to our backyard BUT putting it together wasn't easy parts didn't fit correctly bolt's snapped we had to go buy good bolts and nut's several parts had no holes in them.. Not worth the price we paid we are disappointed..

We bought this set this spring and although several reviews said it had "confusing" instructions, we found it rather easy to follow. My kids and their friends have enjoyed having their own little park in our backyard. Very solid...no "give" to the bar while kids are swinging. Love that there isn't any wood to treat.

We love the playset thus far if we can actually get it put together in this century. The strange bolt and nut combos make assembly take forever as you have to hope they line up inside the post/pole/etc. That alone has made this take a long time. Just different bolts would have made things so much easier. Plus the arched posts did not say how to align then with their top pieces. It said, "this cannot be undone" and yet had not a thing to say how to avoid a problem (where to align holes or anything). We still have to finish putting on the lower rock climbing walls, the slide, and the ladder but ran out of daylight.

We love this playset but started rusting after a few months. It is two years old now and rust has taken over. Paying a little extra for stainless hardware would have made this a 5 star review. Unlike most playset, this is big enough for older kids, built sturdy, and super fun. A simple fix could give you a good 10 years out of set.

Have this playground and the chains on the swings already show rust and the steering wheel already came off. Im sure I can find some hardware for that though. Then yesterday we had a storm come through that trashed my trampoline but it pulled on the playground set enough that my ladder bent out of shape. Good thing the tie down straps were on it that come with the set when you buy it. Now have to find out how to use the warranty to try to get some of this fixed.

I purchased this play set intending for it to last a while with the claims not to crack or rot, etc. it has rusted all over and the supports holding the platform are nearly rusted through making it unsafe. I'm very disappointed that this only lasted a few years.

arrived in good shape have not constructed it yet so I cant really say much either way.

$1,700 for a pile of rust. The company does not stand behind their product.
