This thing is HUGE!! I'm 6'07" tall and I can stand inside with plenty of headroom. Alot bigger than I thought and it's massive compared to some of the $700 - $800 ones I've seen at Lowes & Home Depot. So glad I spent the extra money on this one, my little girl loves it. Construction was intimidating at first, but really not bad once you get into it. I downloaded the manual and studied it a little while waiting on it to ship. Highly recommend a cordless impact drill with a speed-bit set-up. Highly recommend you have a Torx T-40 Speed Bit. You will be changing bits often between the T-40 and a Phillips, so the speed bit was nice to have. For me, the Crow's Nest was the most difficult to set up. Instructions call for table-top construction of the floor, so my holes didn't line up when I went to put it on. I wish I would've built it in place. Enormous amounts of hardware, but everything is bagged separately. I set up a large table just to lay out all the hardware, that seemed to help. I did not care for the directions, there is very little written, it's all diagrams that you need to pay really close attention to. Pay close attention to the hole placement on the diagrams because the instructions do not let you know that a board needs to be facing a certain way. Make sure you keep your packing lists when you open the boxes, I had to refer to them many times to find the specific boards I needed for the next step. Overall it was a fun family project that I'm certain will last our family for years. Very impressed with the quality of this playset.

We have had this set for a year and a half. the stain has already worn out on many places all over the swing set. The boards are warping and cracking. I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old who have barely been able to play on it. I highly doubt this thing will last 5 years.

I am surprised at how many good reviews that this playset receives. In the beginning, the playset seemed fine. The materials are thinner than some of the more expensive units that you can purchase. That, however is not the biggest problem. Within 4 months, this playset started to show a lot of wear. We have not even had this a year and the wood is flaking and falling apart. I would not recommend this to anyone. Wished we would have spent more money and purchased a better quality product.

Took 3-4 people 2 days to build. It was a LOT of work but daughter loves it (only 2 days in, so don't know about longevity). It needs some pull bars on the crows nest and some of the boards are thin (adults should avoid getting in the crows nest), but it has pretty much everything you could think of.

I am going to be totally honest here. I didnt even bother trying to built it. I hired a company who builds these swing sets and they brought 3 guys and it took a whole day. These guys have built this set over 40 times and they said its a popular set and its solid. I will be adding polyurethane before winter and bring back the company once in a while to reinforce it. My kids love it and I have an 8 year old and she is super happy, the entire neighborhood comes in and uses it, even the neighbors who have a swingset use it! its got just about everything you could ask for, but it does take alot of space. If you are not sure which swingset to get and are considering this one, you should know you will get a good one.

Very nice once it’s assembled but extremely difficult to put together . Every piece has to be screwed together . I would have never made this purchase had I known this . I payed more to have someone put it together than the actual cost of the swing set. Also needs to be sealed to protect from the environment .

Great structure and the kids love it! Solid piece when all put together.

A couple of boards are peeling terribly which I would never expect for the price of it

We bought this a few weeks and our kids are loving it! It definitely took some time to put together but we did it as a family and couldn't be happier with the results

We bought this for our kids early this spring and they have been playing almost everyday. The monkey bars were the biggest selling point for us. The team was easy to work with and did a great job installing. We are very happy with our choice!
