Loads of fun

I ordered this online during cyber sale in November and we got it put together just in time for Christmas for my grandchildren. Great product, great instructions, and a strong sturdy playground. The telescope on the top didn't stay on but that is not a negative-we love this playground

Slide

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our grandchildren and they love to play on it! Ages 8 and 2 1/2. We did seal off the monkey bars so our little one doesn't fall off. The 8 year old can still access the bars from the other end. Love this set and so do our grandkids!

my kids are in love

I did a ton of research before buying this swing set and this was by fat the best deal I could find. It did take us two full days to put together which was way longer than I anticipated but the instructions were simple and straightforward. Only negative I have is the swings are kind of close together but it hadn't been a problem. The slide though is not one piece and doesn't seem to be add high of quality add the rest of the set. Great buy all around kids are very happy.

Skyfort 2

We purchased this playground for Christmas this year and my kids have loved it. It definitely took longer than I expected to put together but the instructions and companion app were amazing. Every step was easily explained and labeled. I probably had as much fun building it as my kids have had playing on it.

Great Craftsmanship

I bought this last year and my kids have enjoyed this playset more than words can say. They call it their little house. The rock wall is challenging for the 3 year old and the ladder is perfect for my 2 year old. Both love the slide. Not too fast not too slow. Would recommend an impact gun to put together. Built it in about 50 hours with very little assistance.

Great value for the money!

My wife and I looked at many different playsets before finally deciding on the Skyfort. The shipment and delivery from Sams Club was super fast and was delivered within a week. The boxes took quite a beating from the shipment, and the shipping co only sent 1 guy to unload; that is roughly 200lbs per each big sized box. The delivery guy still put the boxes into our garage and not on the curb as described, great service and kudos to this one guy! We noted the box damage on the form so the delivery guy can leave, and took accountability of the wood contents, nothing was damaged or missing. I didn't really count the hardware since there was so many and it was in another box inside the big box, so I figured since it was still intact everything was there unless they miscounted at the factory. The setup took about 30 working hours total = 10 hours working alone during the workweek and 2 full weekends (10 hours with help of a friend and 10 hours alone#. The directions were pretty straight forward, and I counted two spots where the directions were not accurate #e.g. wrong hardware part numbers between pictures diagrams and worded directions). In the end after the project was said and done, all that I was missing were two 5/16" washers, which I happened to have spares in my toolbox. Not bad at all, fortunately for me I didn't have to run to the store like some others did. The set is extremely sturdy, it is anchored into the ground by 8 stakes total and does not shift or move at all even when my son is on the swings. The only reason for the quality mark down is due to the strength of the floor panels, they had a tendency to bow/move a little bit while I was stepping on them; however shouldn't be a problem for the intended age target up to kids 10 years of age. Another area of concern was the beam that the monkey bar attaches to, to me it seems like the beam wouldn't support it, but it held up to my weight of 155lbs, again shouldn't be a problem for kids up to 10 years of age. Spent a little more than what we originally started at, but no regrets and absolutely love it.

Well constructed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were all impressed with the construction of the play set. Took 5 adults almost 8 hours to put up. Mostly 4 (one adult was mostly in the way). Perfect size for 4 toddlers to play with room to spare. Definitely recommend this play set it to keep your kids busy and happy.

Good overall, but...

I finished putting this together for the most part, and took another shot at the slide. The slide, in a word SUCKS. The design is so difficult to execute. It requires getting a long, difficult to bend piece of plastic into a groove along the slide wall. And then do the same thing again. I tried with like 3 other people at one point. I tried at least three times, and we couldn't do it. When we called the company they wanted $160 for a new, unassembled slide, and another $100 for shipping. We needed more pieces of wood because some were not included and some were cracked. It took nearly a week to get me the parts. By that point I had gotten pieces made at the local hardware store because I couldn't put assembly on hold that long. These totally turned me off to the company and I would recommend you do NOT do business with them. The set itself is great, and my kid loves it, but I certainly do not ever want to buy anything from them ever again.

We love it!

We bought this a couple of months ago and it did take a while to come in. Our delivery got rescheduled three times but once we finally got it, it was perfect after that. We worked on it daily after work and then spent an entire Saturday finishing it up. It’s perfect. Our three kiddos love it and next summer we plan to take down a swing and add a baby swing! It’s super sturdy and doesn’t move at all while all three kids are playing. Best investment we’ve made for a while and it was a “big sister gift” before our boy makes his arrival in July!

Very nice, but quality could be better

This swing set is very nice, the wood is a little cheap, but overall very sturdy. I put this together mostly by myself as my husband had to have emergency surgery the day we were supposed to start building it. After weather proofing it I decided to start by myself since the kids were exited to play on it. It took me 3 weeks, the first week I only worked on it a few hours a day since I was going back and forth to the hospital to visit my husband. Once he came home I was able to work on it for most of the day taking breaks when it got too hot. My kids like it but not as much as I thought they would. They're 8,7, and 3. I would still recommend it even though I think it's overpriced for the quality of wood you get.
