Besides it taking a few weeks to get it set up we had missing bolts and had to go to the store several times to get bolts and screws that would work for it. Quality of the wood is ok they could do better. Picture looked much bigger then what it actually was. The price could be less for the quality and all the missing bolts.

This purchase was a little intimidating when it arrived in four large, heavy boxes. The instructions were almost entirely pictures so that was a bit of a disappointment, but it seems in this age of accommodating several languages of instructions, that is the accepted method. Regardless of the daunting task that we thought we were about to undertake, this project was both fun and educational. Our parts were all there. The hardware is heavy-duty and the brackets are made of material that you feel confident in their strength and stability. It took two (and sometimes three of) us over 40 hours to put this guy together, and the hardest part was keeping the children off the individual sections as we completed them until it was finished. I would recommend this product to anyone. The price was quite inexpensive for the quality of the product. And, the children love it. That's the true measure of this product.

We got this fort for our 3 young sons (ages, 3,5&8), they love it and I like how it will grow them. The playfort is great for snacks and for a hideout and the crows nest allows them to see when Mom & Dad are on their way!! We had someone put it together and it was the best decision we ever made!

We've had ours for about a month. It took my handy husband a day and a half to put together. We have kids ages 6months , 2, and 11. The 2 year old and 11 year old have a blast on it. I love that they will be able to to use it for so many years. Looks great and has all the essentials!

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

We bought this a couple months ago and took about two full weekends of work to install it (but everything was simple to do ourselves). The kids (3 and 4) absolutely love it so far. It is a bit hot out right now (summer in Phoenix) but it will be great for us come fall and winter.

This is one big play set. Assembly by your self ??? That would be hard. It will take a couple of days. The kids love it. I just wish some of the lumber was thicker. Over all it's big and simple to put together. Would have given it five stars if the lumber was thicker.

This playset is so much fun! All four of my kids love it (ages 1-6) and can play on it at the same time. It took several days to put together, but the instructions were wonderful. Occasionally it would have the wrong length of screw/bolt listed, but common sense helped us sort that out. It is very helpful to have 3 people working on assembly (one to gather the parts for the next step), 2 people is a must! We love it!

Great Quality for the money. I was impressed with how all the lumber was stamped with letter/number codes for easy inventory. We weren't missing any parts, thank goodness. I can see my son and his friend will have years of fun on this play set. Thank you for the careful design and planning. We are very pleased! We do also plan to seal it as soon as possible, so it will last in the Texas sun and harsh winter winds here in El Paso. Great fun! Much better than buying cheap pine wood equipment....cedar in the way to go!

We bought this for our 2 daughters for Christmas and couldn't be any happier with our decision to buy the Skyfort. I researched MANY different swing sets and chose this one based on the price, all of the activities on this set and the reviews. Hopefully my review will help many as some of the other reviews helped us... Our set arrived Tuesday and that night my husband and I made an inventory of all parts. We were only missing the 1in Wood Screws and instead of call CS we just decided to go to Lowes so that we would have them in time to complete for Christmas since we didn't know how long CS would take to get them here. A $5 buy wasn't a big deal to us to ensure it would be completed when we needed it complete. On Wednesday we took the advice of some other reviewers and separated all hardware into tupperware bowls and labeled and oraganized all wood according to letter. My husband took off work on Thursday and Friday to start the project to make sure we had time to finish by Christmas. It was snowing here Thursday and he worked in the snow to get it started. He worked for about 6 hours. Friday he worked about 7 hours, Saturday about 8 and Sunday about 6. By Sunday afternoon he was done with everything but attaching the slide, the rock climbing wall and hanging the swings. We have sheets covering our back door and windows but since our daughters are little and don't really understand Santa and/or what it is if it doesn't have the slide and swings decided to wait until Christmas Eve when they are asleep to finish it just as a precaution in case they happen to see it before. The holes are all predrilled and hooks ready for swings so about 30 mins left. There were a couple of mistakes in the instuctions about what size screws to use but my husband figured it all out. My hubby said the was to organize hardware and wood and that helped him to go faster and smoother. He did write a list step by step from the book with all the materials needed to complete that step so it went faster. The preparations were time comsuming (writing out steps with materials, inventory and organization) took about 8 hours but cut down on assembly time. Total time inventory to finish for us about 36 hours. I helped inverntory and organize but my hubby built entire thing by himself. If someone has some sense of what they are doing it isn't bad. We are so far pleased. The materials are sturdy and we hope are girls are as happy with it as we are. Our 11 year old son can't wait to play on his sister's "castle". Even he thinks it is GREAT!!Good luck and trust me...it is well worth the price :D
