Important to line out all parts and fasteners in order, even if it takes a few hours. Went together very well, step by step. I would consider assembling the crows nest completely on ground first. Bolts 090 or 091 may have been mis-labeled, but no biggie. I used ratchet straps to put the slide together by myself, and to keep the frame square during assembly. I hammered in 3' metal post to use for anchors due to high winds in my area. Intend to use green labeled Thompson Water Seal to spray on. This took me 5 days to casually assemble by myself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re so happy with our decision. This playset is big enough to accommodate our kids as they grow. The only downside is that the picnic table top is already peeling so we will have to do some maintenance next year which is much earlier than we would have expected.

took about 30 hours to put together by myself. I would highly recommend sorting out the wood alphabetically prior to building, this saved a lot of time. After completing the swing set, the kids were a let to play and have a ton of fun. On their first day having the swing set, they all (3) ate their lunch in the watch tower.

I bought this for my granddaughters and my son put it together it took himm13 hours the directions said 24 so it wasn't as bad as they said, I am impressed with the quality and I would only buy it at Sam's club because it is a much better value with free shipping and it arrived in very good shape!

My daughter loves this set. Nothing feels cheap on it. It did take my husband a couple of days to put together but it was well worth the wait. My only suggestion is to stamp the wood better bc it got tough trying to read the stamps on the wood to put it together. The delivery was great got it quicker than we were supposed to.

My husband and I checked online for several hours comparing prices and features of the different types of playsets that were on several websites, I suggested we take a look at the sams club site and see what they had. This was the first play set that showed up on the screen after reviewing it and comparing against what we had looked at, we were convinced it was perfect! So we ordered it on a sunday and it was delievered by the next friday! I was so tickeled one week to recieve it and every single part was accounted for. It took myself and my husband working two very long days to put it together, but the smiles we recieved along with a few hugs and thank yous from our kiddos made it worth ! I would love for the wood to be a harder wood but it's a wonderful playset for the right price, we would know after hours of looking and my husband has put several together and he is happy with it quality price and all!

My kids love the playground. It isa good quality playground at a good price. However, it was a beast to put together. My husband could have done it but it would have taken him many days of assembling after work so we paid someone $450 to put it together and it took from sun up to sun down. These guys had put up lots of these exact playgrounds before and it still took an entire day to put it together with 3 experienced guys. I suggest paying someone to assemble this which makes me second guess the price because now I have another $450 into it that I was planning on. But overall, good playground.

We really like this unit. My kids were desperate for a play structure while parks were closed. They're on it every day. My only complaint is the wood is fragile. Most of the deck boards split on installation with one board splitting completely and the top layer peeling off. We can already see we'll need to give it some TLC sooner than later. With that being said We did NOT request replacement parts and expected a wood structure to require maintenance, just not immediately.

This play set is so great! It's huge, the fort is tall enough for an adult to stand up in, and the picnic table underneath is a great feature. Our 4 year old loves this so much. It did take quite a while to put together, including the time it took to unpack all of the boxes and organize the pieces. But no parts were missing, and we had a lot of hardware left over, despite some of the screws and bolts being defective. It took my husband and father in law, both very competent, 2 full days and another afternoon to complete.

This wasn't that difficult to put together. It was only me (female) and my dad who did it. I put the roof on by myself. I say that to show how lighweight the panels are. I was also qble to get onto thr overlook and put it together (I weigh 190 lbs). The wood flexed, but never gave out. The wood is cheap, but we put it all together and it has held up.cwe will see how it holds up, staked down, with it being in spring in Texas.
