Best Value Out There!

Hands down best value for swingset. Did a lot of research before purchase. Quality control and instructions were excellent. It does take as long as the instructions say to assemble plus whatever you need to do to level any ground contact points. Spend the little extra to get this level of set so it will last for a while.

Definitely Worth It

This was a great purchase because I've tracked it for a couple years now and waited for the product to go on sale. I have two boys under age 5 and another child on the way so I am expecting to maximize this playground's use. I opted to put the playground together rather than paying to have it put together for me. It wasn't too difficult but I do have some helpers that should make your life easier if you choose this route. First, pull all the lumber and hardware out of the boxes and organize by their labeled number. Take your time here because it will make it faster to find each piece during the build. Next, have an impact drill or purchase one. This is a must. Have a couple backup batteries handy so you can continue working. Finally, pay extra attention to the direction of some of the lumber and the pilot holes that are pre-drilled. Several times I had to turn boards around which slowed me down. It took me and a friend about 12 good hours to complete so take your time. Now that the build is over I can say that I am very happy with the playground. It seems sturdy and well built and so far my boys love it! My only complaint is some of the hardware is either exact amounts or even short in amount but the company will ship anything you need but that's annoying when your in the moment. So, you may have to hit the hardware store for a few bolts or screws.

My Kids Love It!!

Incredible product! Assembly is a chore, but we made the best of it! We read somewhere to take the time to put all of the boards and hardware together for each step... If this takes half a day... IT IS WORTH IT! Instructions were great and fairly simple... make sure you read all the fine points in the instructions, otherwise, you may have boards on backwards. Trust the instructions and the step by step plan. If you do this, it is an easy build!

Wonderful addition to the backyard!

My wife and I bought this for our 2 year old son and I assembled it myself. Assembly was straightforward and overall good quality. The screws for the deck board seemed cheap since several of them broke after installation. I just replaced the damaged or broken screws with exterior deck screws and haven’t had problems since. I would highly recommend utilizing both installation guide and app BILT for assembly. Our son absolutely loves the swing set and this was well worth it. Competitive pricing and great quality.

Excellent Product

This product was great! My kids love it and aside from the 3 full days it took me to put together, it was a breeze. I was missing 1 single floorboard, haven't been able to get it from them yet, but am making due with what i did get. We are very pleased with the playset and after it was assembled, it actually looked like the picture!!

Kiddos love it!

Our kids, ages 12, 8, 6, 4 and 3 love this "fort". It is loads of fun and they enjoy the different features. Assembly took some time, but my husband did it alone. I only had to help hold random pieces at times. Bottom line, the kids are happy, so we are happy!

Greatness

Most of the reviews sum this product up well. I read them all before I made the purchase. It took two of us about 15 hours to put together. Directions are good, but read carefully. I only had one cracked board. The worst part is taking inventory and organizing especially when a 3 yr old is helping you. Great product that is really solid. It's a great choice. My 3 year old girl loves it and we bought an infant swing that I hung on the monkey bar side for my 4 month old (which he loves).

Playset is great, but don't let SAMS install

The process of getting the playset to our home was great. However; the company that came to install (GoConfigure). Was AWFUL! They had quoted us one price and since the men did not get it done in one day, which they said they would. They called and demanded I pay another $220. If I didn't they would unassembled the entire set. UGH!! I told the men over the phone what playset they would be installing and everything. When we checked out on the SAMS website we chose playset, not swingset since that is what the product description stated. We are very unhappy.

Lots of Fun

This has been a great purchase for our kids they love it. I have been looking for a long time and for the price you can't go wrong. Not olny do you get the swings but also the monkey bars and in this playset they are on opposite sides so now they can do both. The only down fall is it takes two men about 24 hours to put it together.

love it

Great product for the price. Definatley alot some time for assembly and get a helping hand. I recommend sorting all wood by letter and doing a complete inventory of lumber. The bolts and bucket nuts tend to cross thread easily so start them by hand. Once assembled this thing is awesome. We have become the hit of the neighborhood among the kids which makes all the time building it worth it when you see them having a blast.
