Our kids love it now that it's up. It took my husband by himself about 26 hours. He did a little every night after work. I would recommend having a level area planned out because we thought we had a good spot picked out and had to move it (in the beginning stages of being built). Give yourself a day to just lay out all the pieces and my husband actually stole my tupperware to put the screws and bolts in. Shipping was just the way it was explained; they called and set up a delivery time. The drivers were nice enough to also put in my backyard and not leave it to us to move. If you have the money, I totally recommend this playset.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it, the kids love it! It was a bit difficult to follow the instructions and sort through all the lumber and hardware when building yourself and some of the pre drilled pieces were drilled a bit off but overall with many hands and a good chunk of time we were able to get the job done and now enjoy this awesome play set!

We ordered this for our daughter's second birthday! It is assmebled and she LOVES it. I have absolutely no issues with the finished product and would receommend the playset. As most people mention, it does take a while to put together. It took myself, my husband, parents and a few friends here and there two days. Things I recommend: FIRST: If you have more than one person working on this project, make a few copies of the instructions prior to starting. We often found that we could work ahead on some things, but were left waiting on instructions. - Definately lay out all pieces prior to beginning. This did not take long and made finding pieces VERY easy. - After you assemble to frame to the main playhouse, the instructions tell you to lay the bottom floors, then anchor it. This needs to be done the other way around. The anchors go under the floor...oops :). - Make sure you have at least 2 cordless drills. We also had two battery packs for each so we could rotate them. Overall, this is a great product and our daughter LOVES it.

My wife and I had been looking for a swing set for our two girls. I came across the Skyfort II and was amazed by all of the features it included. This thing has the works! Wave slide, rock wall, monkey bars, teeter-totter swing and two additional swings. That doesn’t even include the tower section that has a functional picnic table, sandbox, fort, and crows nest with a telescope. If you need your children to burn off some energy this is how you do it! The Skyfort II is a majestic addition to any backyard. You kids will never run out of friends if they have one of these kids playgrounds. The neighbor children have a blast learning sharing, playing, and communication skills. It does take some time for delivery, however the drop off went very smooth and the friendly folks placed it nicely in my garage. I highly recommend getting a crew together for assembly. It took 5 of us 12 hours to complete and that was with 2.5 hours I spend prior to that just unboxing and sorting parts. The wood is a tad soft so make sure to not over tighten the hardware as it will dig into the wood. I also recommend using a sealant to prevent any splintering from wear and tear. There is tons of space in the fort for your young ones to have fun. My 6’6” brother cab stand up in the inside without hitting his head! They bay windows also give a great view all around the yard for “home base” during hide and seek. I highly recommend this product and plan to help build more of these with my friends for their children.

Very easy to put together. HOWEVER: the pieces are boxed up in no particular order. When assembling, you have to dig through all four boxes to find the pieces needed for a particular assembly. That is VERY time consuming. My wife would search for parts while I assembled them. Took 5 days (24 hours total) to complete. Looks great and the kids LOVE it!

my kids couldn't wait to play. we found a couple misprints in instruction guide but overall was easy to figure out. works out great to have all parts sorted by number and nuts/bolts/washers sorted by type and size, then have someone find needed parts for next step when you are working. it took 4 adults about 16 hrs to assemble. we put a piece of indoor/outdoor carpet cut to fit sandbox area before adding sand to prevent bugs and weeds. PERFECT!

We bought this a year ago and have enjoyed having our own playground in our backyard! The kids (4&7) love the lookout and the rock wall. It’s perfect for picnics, playing store, and even bring in pillows for lounging. Very sturdy as well. My husband assembled in less than 2 weeks.

It was a task putting it together but it is good quality and very sturdy. For the price you can't beat it! It would be nice if they just boxed the like pieces together but they don't so highly recommend when you're going thru your checklist to make sure you received everything to put like pieces together at that time!!

I bought this a few months ago and have been very happy with my purchase. My kids and neighbors kids play on it constantly and havnt had any issues. I see it getting lots of use for many years to come. Also in glad I paid extra to have it put together. The whole process was great from start to finish after getting it.

If you follow the "directions", start with a complete inventory, put all the necessary small hardware in a cup before you start each section, pre drill the holes as suggested -- you will not have any trouble at all assembling this unit. Sturdy, well built, well designed. And most importantly, the kids said "awesome"! That's what really matters.
