I like this playset and for the price cant beat it. Time consuming lots of parts hard to find. Lay everything out and put together some of the stuff that can be attached later. Have someone help you and dont try to rush it. You will not put it up in a day..2 days if you have time or about a week doing some here and there..it does get more sturdy once everything is done.

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!

My boys and I are thrilled with this playset. It is much bigger than I expected and has lots to do for them to stay active. I am definitely glad I paid for the installation because it looked very complex. It took three experienced workers a day and a half to complete and the crew that came was excellent. The wood is not as strong as the pricier playsets but that is to be expected and it seems very sturdy and safe with the exception that we may reinforce the crows nest a little bit just because I'm paranoid. There was one damaged piece which isn't bad considering how many pieces came in the set and two of the boxes were torn a little in the shipping process. The installation crew said they'd report the piece to the company and come back with a replacement to fix it. Overall I'm very happy with the playset and hope it hold up well in the years to come for my three boys to enjoy endless hours on it.

The kids are loving it! From the 13 year old to the 1 year old, they love the swings, fort and climbing features of this set. When we received the boxes, I sorted and organized all of the materials. I had 4 friends help me and we got it put together in one day.

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.

I bought this for my kids age 3 and 7. They both love it so much. I had professional help putting it together so it only took a day and a half. Seriously this guy was like a master builder from the Lego movie. This was also on top of him being totally hung over and staying up till 7 am the night before. I guess this is more of a review about my friend but seriously buy this for your kids.

Bought this for my son who loves it. The directions are a little lackluster. They set comes with some tools to use but doesn’t tell you to use them anywhere but there are definitely places they should be use. Overall it’s a great swingset. Took me 20.5hrs to put together by myself. Use an impact driver it will save you time and having to replace bolts that get stripped from screwdriver and regular drill.

Bought this about 3 weeks ago but just got around to building it. Instruction need more information about where the extra holes on each board should be facing. Had to run to Lowe's and buy more 2 1/4" screws to attach the roof. Called for 14 screws and we only had 4. The t nuts often stripped out. My wife and I built it and it took up 27.5 hours.

Our Skyfort II was shipped on schedule and included thorough directions and all needed parts/hardware (no parts were damaged or missing). With 2 people assembling (with modest experience-level) it took about 25 hours to assemble. We were impressed with the quality of this play set and anticipate that our kids will enjoy it for years to come!

This is the first playset that I have purchased for my 7 kids. I had it professionally assembled and it looks good, but there were a couple board that were cracked and will have to be replaced. My kids like it but the older kids state that the boards feel like they are going to break, so I will reenforce some areas so that all the kids feel safe. My son only weighs 90 lbs and the boards gave a little from his weight. The swings and slide say rated for 150, but the slide is very questionable. The slide is not solid rigid plastic and sags when kids slide down.
