Swing/telescope

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.

Cute but cheap material

Fell in love with this swing set for the boys so I knew we had to have it.. Sam's has it priced right but when I went to purchase the price went up almost $500!!! Still purchased because I promised my boys.. After it was build the wood started peeling, just not great quality as far as material. The slide is made out of a flimsy material and not a hard slide at all..

The kids love it.... the dads hated it....

I bought this for my grandkids to have at their home. It was a long tough put together. I had followed others instructions and took about 4 hours and counted every screw and sorted every board into piles and then labeled them "A" B etc. This certainly helped but it still was just a long put together. Some of the boards were split and missing but the company was great about sending what was missing. That is another reason it is vital to go through it before starting. It took about 10 days to get the replacement parts. We then had to get more parts that split. They are still to come. Sealing it all will be vital to preservation in our NW rain. The wood is softer and thin but seems sanded and doesn't have a weird odor of chemicals. All in all, we are pleased. The kids love the carriage part. The monkey bars are too high for our "littles" but we hung baby swings from that part anyway.

All parts in boxes

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.

So many features!

We love our new Skyfort II - there are lots of fun features (our 3yo has created a circuit/ obstacle course because of so many options) and it is a handsome edition to our backyard! I recommend using the app for assembly - it makes it easier to see the correct placement of boards for predrilled holes (position matters!!) and for part numbers (vs. screw/bolt sizes).

Overall super pleased!

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!

Expectations blown away.

Bought this for the kids Christmas present. Very easy to follow set up instructions. Be sure to pay attention to pilot hole location in pictures, if not you will be taking parts back apart or drilling pilot holes! Other than that I recommend organizing all parts by alpha numerical. Including your hardware. Don't be disorganized. If you read through instructions first and organize you will be able to assemble in less than 10 hours if you use power drills with correct bits and torque along with a decent helper. Kids don't want to get off this play set. Best bang for the buck. Along with that customer service is amazing had messed up parts from delivery and they shipped them out quicker than ever! If ever need to buy another play set I would buy from them again... 100% recommend.

Great playground minus the junk slide

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.

Excellent! Strong and Sturdy

This Skyfort II is awesome! My grandchildren, ages 6 and 3, love it. The set is incredibly strong. It weighs almost 750 pounds, so it is sturdy for sure. The individual pieces may seem lightweight but, when assembled together, are very sturdy and secure. The whole family can play on this set. Adults can stand up straight inside the clubhouse. This is exactly what I wanted for my grandkids. It has so many areas where they can play, and they will continue to grow into it. I expect it to serve them well for several years!

Great play set that is a tremendous value

Great play set that was relatively easy to build. My kids love it and it has all the activities to make it fun for a long time. I do not know how long it will last (probably only 2 or 3 years) before it will start to fall apart. Overall, a GREAT value.
