Swing/telescope

The swings are so close together only one kid can swing at a time. It is ridiculous. It is not as advertised. There is the 2 person swing snf 2 regular swings. And when your on the 2 person swing you still hit the middle swing. It is dangerous. This is why i only gave it a the rating I did. And the telescope isn't even a magnifying. It is just a looking glass.

Really nice setup

Our granddaughter is really happy with this swing set. Really nice for the price. A couple of things...Lay all the pieces out in order. I did some of that, but I still spent more time looking for parts than putting it together. The wood is very soft, so be careful to not over tighten. You'll never know it. Also, if you really want to take the time, I would recommend putting a good stain/sealer on it prior to putting it together. All they do is put on a cheap water stain that will wash off pretty quickly. They also have an excellent customer service department. I called with a couple minor issues and they took care of them right away. No hassle. I assembled this by my self working 2 to 4 hours a day (Texas heat), in 4 days. It is pretty simple.

Happy Grandma

After 2 years of looking at play sets I was referred by a co-worker to your product. I am very happy with the quality of the products I received. The company that delivered my product was very friendly and professional and would also highly recommend this play set and this trucking company to all of my friends

Skyfort II

It was for my grandson. He was super excited & would look at it & say “whoa” every time he saw it as he came home or woke up to it looking different every time something was added. I did sand & stain every piece with a six year semi-transparent stain so that will be so much better than having to do it with all the parts on it. Also keep the packing slips, sort the wood pieces into four piles as to which box they came out of & also it would have taken more time but to put each step’s bolts & screws into a bag & label them. It would save time in the long run. Also check every number twice & look to make sure it is turned the right way with the pilot holes. I enjoyed putting it together & the instructions were good.

Great features!

I bought this for my 4 yr old and she loves it. It seems very sturdy and there is so much for them to do. I will however caution those who are putting it together themselves. It took two to three people over twelve hours to put together. And these are people who know construction and had power tools. The piece come in four separate boxes and the piece you might need are probably not all in the same box. It took three hours just to sort the boxes!! Now that it is all put together it is awesome and looks great, but it was definitely a job!

Beauty

This swing set is perfect for our 3 and 5 year old. So far it seems very durable and it’s beautiful to look at! We have only had it for about 2 weeks. The only downfall was that some pieces came damaged or missing, but they were easy to work with when getting new ones. The other disappointment is that you are required to stain the whole set after it is assembled. Besides these two negatives, it’s a great swing set!!!

Wish we had purchased sooner

Absolutely love this set! Watching my kids and all their friends playing makes my heart so happy! Kids from 5-12 all playing and laughing together. If you’re worried your kids are too old, they aren’t. Get it! It took us about 30 hours to assemble, but so worth it. Great detailed instructions!!! Just buy it!!!

It’s a job

I’ve been a builder for 30 years and the material is precisely manufactured and goes together well. Problems are the instructions have much to be desired and you need to think ahead so you get pieces together so the steps down the road align with predrilled holes because instructions are vague concerning this. The definition of insanity rule comes into play on their packaging. You will need to go through boxes many times to find all the parts for each step. Keep packing list so you have an idea in which box the parts are scattered. Also I would definitely use gle so the It stays solid. I Hurd and used extra fasteners where needed

Complicated to put together but worth it!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for my grandchildren and it was a job to say the least to put together. Glad it's done. The only problem that we had was we were shorted 4 pieces of the bottom deck rail and I've been having trouble trying to reach the company and waited on hold for over 20 minutes.

A lot of work, but worth it

The Skyfort II is nice, when put together it is smaller than I thought it would be. My grandson loves it, however his pepaw did not like how each section was in different boxes all separate. It took him and my son 8 days to put it together. It is best to lay out each box separately to let the pieces be easier to find.

What a great project for your grandson and his pepaw! That will be a lifetime memory. We appreciate our review and story to go with it.
