This was a great purchase because I've tracked it for a couple years now and waited for the product to go on sale. I have two boys under age 5 and another child on the way so I am expecting to maximize this playground's use. I opted to put the playground together rather than paying to have it put together for me. It wasn't too difficult but I do have some helpers that should make your life easier if you choose this route. First, pull all the lumber and hardware out of the boxes and organize by their labeled number. Take your time here because it will make it faster to find each piece during the build. Next, have an impact drill or purchase one. This is a must. Have a couple backup batteries handy so you can continue working. Finally, pay extra attention to the direction of some of the lumber and the pilot holes that are pre-drilled. Several times I had to turn boards around which slowed me down. It took me and a friend about 12 good hours to complete so take your time. Now that the build is over I can say that I am very happy with the playground. It seems sturdy and well built and so far my boys love it! My only complaint is some of the hardware is either exact amounts or even short in amount but the company will ship anything you need but that's annoying when your in the moment. So, you may have to hit the hardware store for a few bolts or screws.

The set is still in construction but for the most part everything looks great. We did have a problem with the swing horizontal timber being cracked but customer service was great and they are shipping a replacement.

Took 2 men 18 hours to put together. My son in law said that if each section was in it's own box it would have been much easier. Markings were very small. But the kids love it.

Husband put it together...he worked on it off and on for four days...he had put playsets together before and He is pretty handy. Overall great product! Girls love it...I will agree the swings are close. But they are functional...

Turned out great but a pain to put together. Parts for the sections were not packed in same box. Fantastic swing set but should have paid fee for it to be assembled.

Erected this for a neighbor. Engineered better than expected. Instructions perfect. Wood is relatively soft pine (my only real concern) and stain is very thin. We put one to two coats of poly on all wood surfaces for protection. Will see how long that lasts. Definitely need two folks to erect. My wife gathered wood pieces and hardware and I put together. Worked well as a team. I suggest to Organize wood pieces and hardware to speeds things up otherwise finding takes as much time as erecting pay close attention to orientation of some pieces or you’ll be backtracking Kids love it. The yard was not level so some treated lumber was necessary. Hold downs that screw into the ground are a bear. We put a bolt thru top and used a water meter wrench so we could bear down and screw in the ground at same time or it wasn’t happening just spinning in the dirt without screwing down

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.

I have three kids 2, 10, & 12. The set is a little weaker than I had hoped in spots which makes the older kids a little nervous (even though they are under the weight limits) but I’m hoping in time they’ll feel more comfortable and safe. My 2 year old LOVES it, I didn’t think he was ever going to come off it! Overall a good purchase. We also bought the installation, i realize different crews for different areas, but ours was amazing!! Got here at 8 am and finished the whole thing in 7 hours! They were very skilled and knowledgeable but also super nice and courteous! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

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.

This playset is the perfect size for my 14 to and my 6 yo to be able to play on. Not too small. Only problem we have come across is that the slide isnt the best quality. The part they slide on gets screwed into the sides and there are plastic flimsy rods for support. With wear and tear, this will be the first thing we will have to replace. Would prefer a solid plastic slide for quality. Other than that, the kids love it.
