Bought this and son and one-two others worked to put it together. Went together easily and had it up in less than 3 days. A minor issue was a few screws were missing, but were available locally and didn't prevent construction from going forward. Caution note: Need to slowly screw bolts into nuts. If you start out using a power tool you may cross thread. Ran into this problem early on and learned to use hand tool to start bolts and then use power tool. Granddaughter should get years of fun out of it.

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.

I built this thing by myself. Went together quite well. The kids love it. Took about 20 hours. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is the slide. The one that comes with it is a piece of junk. The plastic was warped when I opened the box, which leads to the plastic insert unseating itself every so often.

When I started my search for a swingset, my husband told me that it had to fit him too. Thankfully we have a large yard. I fell in love with this one and finally worked up the courage to drop the money on it. It arrived in four large boxes and the reviews told me to organize it ahead of time. I’m glad I did. I understand the logistics of it. Making sure they all fit in these boxes, but with sooooo many codes, it was tedious to search for one code and find it in all four boxes. We have some hardware missing and two roof panels split. But they had it sent out so quickly. It took my husband and I about 30 hours to assemble. My son and every kid in the neighbourhood loves it.

We bought this for our granddaughters. The set looks great and they love it. The slide is a little too bumpy and on the last hump in the slide sends her flying. The slide design could use some work. The directions could have been more descriptive. The directions could spell out the orientation of the predrilled pieces of wood. Pay close attention to the predrilled pieces of wood and that they are placed correctly during assembly.

Has everything we wanted in a set- monkey bars, swings, slide, sandbox, climbing wall. It is more bang for your buck than many of the other outdoor play sets. The quality is certainly less (flimsier slide) than the more expensive sets, but it’s certainly solid enough.

Pretty happy over all with this purchase. I would have given 5 stars but to me there was some excessive checking/cracking on the boards. I am happy that there were no missing pieces. Directions were good. Would recomend to other customers to layout the material just like the manual describes.

Project is daunting at first. A lot of boxes and a lot of parts. A good general knowledge of tools is extremely helpful. It took about a week to ten days to build but not eight hour days. Our delay was getting final area around play yard prepared. Several guys needed to move it to spot. Some of the instructions are difficult to understand from drawings. Some of the boards were warped and I had to trim a board in different sections to make it fit. I found it impossible to hide all the markings(letter/numbers) from view. I think my grandkids will have years of fun on the Skyfort 2.

We bought this for our grandchildren. They love it but it really is cheap looking. Considering what it cost, it is fine.We hired a contractor (and his helper) to put it together and it took about 3 full days. Several pieces were broken or missing so the contractor had to improvise.

I am impressed with the finished product, but the assembly was very difficult. It is a 131 page manual and there are about 40 different bags of various nuts, bolts and screws. It took me at least 4 days to put together myself and I am a builder! But for the price, the finished product is nice, definitely not heavy duty enough for kids over 12 though. Definitely meant for kids age 3-11. Overall, great product, took away a star for being extremely difficult to assemble.
