Great play set

Bought this several weeks ago! Lots of room for all the kids. The slide is a bit cheap. Overall a great system, a bit pricey. Paid extra for installation, the installers broke a piece. Had sharp screws poking through the wood and had to point this out to be fixed. Took 2 days to completely assemble, a bit longer than we wanted to wait. We had the swing set at our house for 10 days before someone would be here to assemble it

Fun to play, terrible to build

My kids absolutely love the playset. Putting it together was a completely different story. To be fair, I am not a handyman or anything close. However; my father, myself and my son put this together in a weekend. The instructions need to be done in color and have better explanation/pictures of orientation of the boards. We ended up having to go backwards at least 3 times because the instructions were not very clear on orientation of a board. With that said, The kids love it and it seems to be very sturdy and looks great in the backyard. We added a sandpit to the base of the unit for the kids.

Looks Beautiful

We purchased this with assembly and it was all done in about 2-3 weeks. Thank goodness we paid the extra for assemby; definitely worth it. Reviews said it took an average of 40 hours to do themselves and when we saw pics of the hundreds of pieces laid out, we said heck no. With an actual assembly team, it still took almost 14 hours. The fort on top and picnic area on bottom are appealing as well as the monkey bars, which are harder to find these days. There were some minor dings and scratches. The wood is pretty but not as strong or resistant as I had imagined. Still, I would recommend this to everyone searching for an affordable higher-end playset.

Great playset

This was purchased for my grandchildren. Great quality, they love the finished product! Lots of parts! Arrived in 4 large boxes, stacked about 8ft long by 4ft high all together. Took a quality team of people for assembly. Parts organizer, direction reader, lead construction and many extra hands. Two full days to complete. Download the app, it helped!

Wonderful value

The kids cant get enough. Its no public playground as far as strength, so dont sit a grownup at the bench unless you want to be reminded you weigh more than 150lb. Im 188 and it creeks at me. Lol but it is sturdy and i can climb into the tower and stand no problem. Its perfect for growing littles!

Nice Looking but...

So purchased this for 2 kids one 6 yr old and one 9 yr old, was delivered within 2.5 weeks from purchase and waited another 3 weeks for the assembly (which I highly recommend) it took 3 men 8 hours to build it. They damaged several pieces during the install, and a few others were of substandard quality during the install. It's already been 2 weeks and they have to ship me the replacement pieces and then reschedule a team to come out to re-intall them. Meanwhile they tell you that you have 30 days to put a weather coating on it to have a warranty mine will be past this as I'm still waiting on these parts, also as my kids climb up the ladder and play in the house and swing it sounds as if its cracking in several places. Not sure I would recommend this, but I will say the install team was great, the company kept us informed every step of the way from days after our purchase to shipment to install it's just the quality that I don't trust yet.

Cute but cheap material

Fell in love with this swing set for the boys so I knew we had to have it.. Sam’s has it priced right but when I went to purchase the price went up almost $500!!! Still purchased because I promised my boys.. After it was build the wood started peeling, just not great quality as far as material. The slide is made out of a flimsy material and not a hard slide at all..

Exactly What It Says It Would Be

This is actually the first review I've ever taken the time to give, but I am doing so because of the great experience we have had. We built a large two-tiered retaining wall on a steep slope so that we would be able to put this in our backyard. The construction on that got delayed because of weather, but I was able to talk to the delivery company of the play set (because it is a scheduled delivery) and they conveniently held on to it for a week until I was ready for it to be delivered. I also paid to have it assembled and was VERY impressed by the company that did this (reached out to me to work with my schedule since someone has to be home and were very accommodating when I had to reschedule the installation). The two guys took less than 6 hours to put it up and it would have taken me two weeks. Our son absolutely loves this and we have received many compliments from others in the neighborhood since it has been up. I would definitely recommend this play set.

Great once put together!

This is a great set. The only reason I give it 4 stars is 1. Because it took us 4 days to put together! 2. Some of the wood was already flaking and cheap. There were so many different bags of nuts and bolts and some wood pieces were not even labeled. Also make suuuuure you watch hole placement I don't know how many times we put a board on just to take it off and flip it around! I do feel its a little cheaply made but it will work for its intentions. Looks great in the yard and our daughter loves it.

Skyfort II is awesome!

Bought the skyfort ii + assembly by GOConfigure. Excellent product and builder did a great job! 6 year old son absolutely loves it. 4 big boxes arrived promptly and delivery team kindly placed them in my garage. GoConfigure had to reschedule twice but was worth the wait because Anthony did a pro job. He builds these all the time and took him less than 8 hours. Finished product is great and we are happy. Wood is very lightweight but sturdy. Wood is pre stained but we will be putting another coat to get the most out of it for years to come. Builder told us that it is covered under warranty for 18 months. Any piece breaks they will send replacement and he will install it. I really hope that is true because that sounds great!
