We bought this swingset for our little girl as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loved it!! I put it together by myself mainly and it took me about 20 hours total because I work 40 to 50 hours a week at my job, so I could only work on it here and there. We didn't have any missing pieces and I felt the directions were very easy to follow. Our little girl is only two but she loves it she can even climb the rock wall by herself. I would definetly reccommend this to anyone looking to purchase a swingset!!

If you have any experience in construction and can follow directions you won't have a problem. Just organize and go. It took me and one other 2 10 hr days. Very we'll thought out and engineered. I just hope the quality of wood lasts only time will tell for that

1) missing 2 each H 9 boards. (2) telescop housing cracked. (3) About a dozen & a half 1 1/8 wood screws short. (4) board marked P 2 was not the right board, but the right booard was found, but not marked. (5) Holes in E5 boards that ladder (Y35-24-75G ) attached to were misaligned. (6) Some instructions were not made clear enough. (7) About half of all boards were either not marked or smudged. (8) No instructions on where to attach Y10-16.5G handles to B 1 and E 6 boards or hardware to use. (9)No way to secure bottom of slide to ground to prevent side to side movement.

we put this together last summer (me and my brother in law), the kids love it and it has held up very well. It did take two people two very long days to assemble. I would recommend borrowing an extra cordless drill (or three) so that you dont have to switch bits as often, and getting out of the crows nest was fun (im a big guy and it is the last step). The instructions were easy to follow too.

I spent countless hours researching and trying to find the right set that would work for our 6 year old son (63 pounds and tall) as well as our newly turned 2 year only (27 pounds). Many of the sets have so many extra bells and whistles (tic tac toe, steering wheels etc) which jack the price up an insane amount. What we loved about this set is its large enough to grow with it and its all the stuff kids love at the parks. Overall I will say it is a very sturdy and well made set. Some of the boards are "peeling" and a few cracked while screwing in the screws. It took several days a few hours at a time to complete. Chicago weather kept getting in our way. However; I would say it is defiantly a whole weekend project. My husband, father and brother who are both in construction helped build it. My father joked that he could build a house faster than building this because there are so so so many bolts, and screws. The pre drill is nice because its all laid out but it also takes more time because it has to be perfectly lined up. A huge time saver is laying out each section and putting the bolts you need with it so one person can just grab and you aren't looking for the different parts. My biggest complaint which I later saw on a review on amazon is how close the swings are to each other. I wish the beam holding them was just a little longer. Had I known that we probably would of changed out the beam ourselves but we were too far in to do it once we realized it. The slide is also a little flimsy but the kids don't seem to mind it. All in all its a large and very sturdy play set.

Just purchased set up this month. Impressed with the precision in manufacturing and the clear instructions for assembly. Every piece went together with ease. It feels really solid and durable. Bought this for my when my grand son is here, he is completely thrilled with all of the features. Looking forward to watching him grow as he masters all the challenges provided. Would highly recommend as a first choice in playsets!!

I purchased this backyard set for my two kids, aged 3 and 10. I paid for the company sponsored installation service, and they were awesome. They had it up in less than a few hours, it is sturdy and very good looking. My kids love to play on it either together or with friends. The weight capacity we were advised was $1,500 so it is good for kids with lots and friends and family. Overall a very good product for the money, am glad I purchased it.

The instructions were very difficult to understand. Some bolts and screws were missing,which made it hard to put together,tried to conceal the ones I had to substitute. One board had no number on it at all. Took me 2 1/2 days to put together,had wife & daughter helping part of the time. I am 71,it would probably been worth the money to have it installed. It is beautiful now that it is done,the grandkids love it!

I bought this one item for my daughter's whole family for Christmas. It was the best idea ever! No wrapping packages! And my son-in-law put it together in his spare time over a few weeks. Now the kids ages 3 and 7 will have it to use for years to come.

By far the best gift I have ever purchased for my grandkids. A little intimidating arriving by freight and the thought of assembly; however, with an awesome Uncle Jake and Gramps the assembly went smoothly. Highly recommend organizing all the pieces and hardware PRIOR to starting the assembly and FOLLOW the instruction booklet! Assembly did take a few days; but the grandkids remained excited during the process. Great purchase!
