We've had this playset for a year now. It was pretty labor intensive to put together but great materials and very sturdy. My four kids range in age from 3-9 and every one of them loves playing on it. It's a great size and can easily accommodate all of them and their friends. One of the best purchases I've ever made and worth every penny.

Overall very satisfied. Took about 20 total hours to put together including leveling and putting the hold-down stakes in the ground. Happy to report all the pieces were there which somewhat amazed me given the number of pieces of wood and hardware required to assemble. A couple of minor errors in the instructions. There were some slight differences between the color photo and the actual set. Color photo on instructions showed a small window on the gable in the front but instructions had it installed in back.

My husband and his father started on swingset had most done in 1 day. My husband finished swingset in a total of 16 hrs. mostly by himself. Time comsuming, directions were a little different but he did not complain and had no problems. It was a b-day gift for our 3yr old, he loves it.

I bought this about 18 months ago. My kids and our neighbors' kids play on all the time. I do have a few complaints though. While the wood appears to be sealed, the color has faded and it looks like it needs another coat of sealer (perhaps that is just part of the upkeep). One of the bolts to one of the swings came out and I couldn't find it. I suppose I need to take the other out and go to the hardware store to match it. Some of the small wood slats came off fairly easily also. Overall, I still think it is a fun set and a decent value.

This is a great play house. Love it and very glad I bought it. However, after 7 months the boards fell off the rock climb. I took out every single screw and replaced it with quality deck screws. About half the ones I removed were broke in half. After only 7 months! I haven't messed with the other screws in the whole set, I'm scared to find out. I recommend if you get this you buy your own deck screws for it.

This is a good quality set for a good price. My only frustration is that the slide comes in multiple pieces that have to be put together. I am afraid that it may not be as durable because of this but it is working fine for my 2 year old at this time. The instructions over all are pretty good but can be frustrating at times. Took me and my wife about 20 hours to put together.

I bought this swing set just before Memorial Day and planned 2 full days to set it up with my Dad. After sending me a duplicate of one of the 4 boxes I ended up finishing the project 2 weeks later as parts came in. :( Thankfully Sam's Club was pretty awesome about the whole deal and gave me a 20% rebate since it was a pretty big mistake. Be prepared to work hard as this is a ton of wood and hardware! Approx 1000lbs of materials in 4 separate boxes - plus the slide. The directions were very clear and the wood was all individually stamped. All the wood was of high quality and only one floor board had some minor warping. The hardware was well made. Two tips before you decide to build: 1. Make sure the ground is level BEFORE you build 2. If you get easily frustrated with projects, save yourself the frustration and pay someone to build it! That being said I didn't mind the build, and my kids LOVE this swing set. Best Wishes!

Bought this in spring 2015, has held up really well. we have a 2& 4 year old they use the entire set except the monkey bars for now (too short to reach). we did buy separately a baby swing from Home Depot to sub for one of the swings for our smallest. This did take 2.5 days to assemble with 2-3 men working on it. We have a construction business so we are not building novices, and that why it's not getting 5 stars. Also our yard is not level ( and really whose is perfectly level?) we had to adapt the structure after market for that on our own, not hard but a few extra pieces of wood would have made the process easier.

We bought this play set for our children last year. They love it! It was a lot of peices to put together but with 2 men who are skilled and a wife reading directions we were able to put it together in 1 very long day. we sprayed it with a protectant and there is a little discoloration after a year but over all we are very happy with this purchase. We separated all the peices and layed them out so all the like peices would be together. I highly recommend that you do this because there is a lot. It helps keep it organized and you aren't search for hours for a lost peice.

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!!
