We ordered this swing set for our three children, ages 6,3,and 1. I researched swing sets for months; I wanted to make sure we got the best deal for our money. This one was the biggest and sturdiest one for the money, and the free shipping was great. We waited for a weekend to start this project, and promised our kids it would be finished before Monday. We did work from sun up to past sun down, but the two of us were able to complete construction in 2 days. I was not hard at all, everything was marked but some of the stamps had smeared, but we just compared those boards to other and the book and had no problem finding where they go. They only complaint is that we were missing about 10 boards (but nothing that delayed us putting it together), but costumer service was a no questions asked, several apologies, and shipping them right away. This is a great quality, I have several friends that have bought more expensive, smaller ones from a toy store and they are jealous of the size, quality, and value of this one. Read the instruction, be prepared to spend about 24hours to put together correctly, and if you second guess where you are putting something check the instructions again, every time we did, we had something wrong. I am very, very happy with this swing set.

This is an exellent choice for the money! The playset has all the features growing children are drawn to, so we are more than pleased with the finished product. The assembly was quite a chore though, and it made me consider (more than once) whether or not we really saved money by choosing to assemble it ourselves. It took my husband and brother (both fairly handy) and myself (pretty darn organized) about 50 hours to complete this project. That includes my inventory of the boards and hardware. The instructions were confusing and even wrong at times. Make sure you always refer to the pictures (finished, glossy pictures, not the ones in the directions) when the directions are confusing! We also found some boards had pre-drilled holes in poor locations (sometimes off a little, other times off a lot). I make these contributions so others aren't surprised. We were able to put the entire thing together despite these hurdles, with the exception of the last board on the roof near the crow's nest. We placed the small cross-boards too high (still think we followed the directions) and now must cut notches in that board to make it fit. Shouldn't be too difficult. Now that the playset is complete (or essentially), our 5 year old daughter and nephew cannot get enough of it!! We have very young twins who we expect will enjoy it every bit as much when they get a little older. We are very happy we made this investment of both money and time - now that it has been finished for a week! ;)

I would not recommend this product to anyone. Colors do not match picture. We have assembled other swingsets and we spent many full days assemblying. For everystep multiple pieces of the same piece are in diff boxes. They only want you to pay for assembly. Its as though they intentionally make it hard to put the product together.

Love the overall design. Assembly takes forever further complicated by the terrible packaging of boards in no particular order or box. Wood is cheap quality and constantly splinters, cracks, and breaks from as simple as screws being inserted. Had I known the quality would have been so poor never would have purchased and made one ourselves. Will need to be sealed as already have some warping and swelling due to recent rain but at least the children enjoy it.

It took us, my husband and I, 3½ days (8 hours each day) to put this set together. When it was all done, it looks great and the kids love it! I agree with other reviews that the wood is a little thin and some of it is a little rough. We will definitely need to treat it to protect it for years to come and from the kids getting splinters, but so far it's great.

This set is perfect! My three year old loves it so far, and our infant will certainly one day too. The three year old requests to eat at the picnic table for every meal. We did add a steering wheel and a baby swing for our infant. We aren’t going to add sand but usually put a picnic blanket on that side for the grown ups to join picnics! We can’t wait to have this addition for friends kids when they come over too. I highly recommend organizing all wood/screw prior to starting anything. That will save a lot of time and headache. My husband didn’t think it would take as long as I suggested because “that’s probably for people who don’t use tools often or read drawings.” Assembly takes every bit of 40 hours. He had several helpers at different points so between everyone, I’d say it took us (mostly him) 45ish hours. We are missing three bolts and have a few damaged boards, and the stain is peeling up in some places prior to assembly. Overall though, it looks amazing and was worth the time spent to build it. The monkey bars and height of each level will allow the kids to play on it much longer than a smaller set. I read reviews about the slide coming in three pieces; ours was one solid piece. We did not experience the issues we read about in other reviews. I highly recommend this set with the knowledge it will take you time to build and you’ll need to stain/tighten bolts every year!

Shopped around all over looking for a playset with many activities. Can't beat all that this Skyfort comes with for the price. All boxes can be picked-up in a pickup truck with tie-downs for the slide. Spend the time to sort/organize all the parts before you start. Makes progress easier (needed to order one P1 -no problem- shipped right away). Make sure you start with a level base (very important!). Check the level throughout the build. Directions were ok, just read a little ahead as you go. I used corded drills to drive lags and cordless drills for driving the screws. My daughter (2 1/2) loves it and I had to shovel a foot of snow out around it so she could swing and slide!

It looks great and once set up, it looks great, however, the wood is not best quality...a lot of it is warped. It takes forever to install. We had 3 people working on it and so far it has taken us 25 hours. We still have the swings to put on and accessories.

alot of wood cracked missing hard ware still have not got been a week on hold right now

Bought for my grandkids. They have enjoyed the set very much.
