Good product for the money

This kit came in quickly and was delivered in good shape. All parts were there and many extras too. Parts are will marked but you may need to use all the instruction booklets as they all have different images and enlargements and instructions which are helpful. Wood quality is OK, the crows nest floor is too thin and flexes too much. adding additional support would be helpful. The seats on the sandbox area are too thin and both split when attached and bow under the weight of an average 5 year old. Swings are a little close together but functional. Overall pleased with the set.

Great playset

This play set is fantastic for kids of all ages. The assembly took a bit longer than anticipated, but I was also the only one working on it for the majority of the assembly. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the boards prior to placing. Overall, it was relatively simple, just time consuming and my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends kids have loved playing on it!

Pretty satisfied

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.

My kids are happy!

Our kids range from 11 to almost 3. We chose this set because it was big enough for our oldest to play on, and we have been having so much fun watching them all play together on it! I highly recommend the professional installation; installers were prompt, efficient, and it was worth every penny!

Complicated to put together but worth it!

I bought this about 2 weeks ago for my grandchildren and it was a job to say the least to put together. Glad it's done. The only problem that we had was we were shorted 4 pieces of the bottom deck rail and I've been having trouble trying to reach the company and waited on hold for over 20 minutes.

Average quality product

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.

Thank you for your feedback! Your comments are essential to improving our quality and service. Our equipment is recommended for use by children 3 to 10 years of age. Given the average american 10 year old is 70.5 pounds the set should be more than adequate. We are very sorry your experience was less than perfect. We hope that this helps and please don’t hesitate to reach out to our customer service group at 1-800-856-4445 for any additional assistance.

Awesome swingset!

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.

Great play set

Bought this several weeks ago! Lots of room for all the kids. The slide is a bit cheap. Overall a great system, a bit pricey. Paid extra for installation, the installers broke a piece. Had sharp screws poking through the wood and had to point this out to be fixed. Took 2 days to completely assemble, a bit longer than we wanted to wait. We had the swing set at our house for 10 days before someone would be here to assemble 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!
