Wood pieces are not as sturdy as other sets. Adult climbing ladder into tower seemed unstable and creaked under strain of 125 lbs. Opening where monkey bars attach to set a hazard for younger users. Dimensions of opening to slide, rockwall and crows nest very low so even 5 year old has to really duck down. Grandsons like it but won't grow with 5 year old as much as we hoped. Due to smaller beams on monkey bars, and swings will be more difficult to add on to set for features for older child.

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

Bought this a couple weeks ago for my son’s birthday. It came packaged well and the delivery drivers were very nice. After unpacking all the boxes, it ended up taking me and my very handy husband 2 1/2 full days to set it up. I mostly read the directions and passed the wood and the screws and he did the rest. The kids love it, I have even caught my 15 year old climbing on it. Side note though: pay attention to all notes about which direction the pilot holes are facing. We found that out about halfway through and could have shaved 1/2 day off the build.

Excellent product and I highly recommend it for anyone with kids that love to play outside. We purchased it for our grandkids and they use it everyday that they can. Any problems with anything??? There customer service is phenomenal!! Highly recommend this Company!

My husband was able to assemble mostly by himself in 3 days. Assembly was relatively smooth - some bad boards and lots of pre drilling required. Nice features overall. Disappointed how close the swings are to each other - kids will definitely be bumping each other. I wish the swing beam was higher. Good for a little one, but an older kid will want to swing higher. The ladder does not seem very sturdy. The monkey bars are surprisingly scary high. These are the kind of things I wish I had seen in person. I probably would have selected a different model. Too flimsy for an adult to sit or help a child up / on.

Very nice set up. Large and lots to do on it. Directions were not very easy to follow/understand. It seems as if they want you to “assume” something... then you Put it together and a few steps later you find out it’s wrong. Wasn’t big fan on slide. It’s hard plastic on outside but actually slide is like metal based. Sort of robbly. Wood seems sterdy and they do give you levers to put down. Their were different areas of the wood where it didn’t seem cut properly and we had to fanagle it but luckily I have a good handy man! Other then that- were happy.. so far.

The play set arrived on time and in good condition. We had it assembled by some guys who water no time but it took longer than expected. Got expensive. The set is larger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Hope it holds up to the weather and abuse of grandkids.

The instructions have a lot to be desired. (Destructions) More explanation was needed on the pieces because the holes on the various pieces were off ever so slightly that you couldn't tell it should be turned the other way till you were a couple of pieces into a section. Then you would have to take it all apart and do it all over again through out the project. That being said, it looks great up and the kids love it.

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.

Bought this a week ago for my twins 5 bday (Dec 2018). Its really nice but two things. I dont like that the bumpy slide is clanky and seems to be popping towards the end. Also when girls swing on the main 2 swings, the wooden 2 x 4s is making a rubbing sound. Gor $1,500 I guess I was expecting community playground quality swingsets. But the really love the dual swing!
