HAPPY GRANDKIDS

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.

Love it!

I purchased the play set a few months ago and we have absolutely loved it! It was kind of a booger to put together but it has been definitely worth the money and time! The kiddos have spent hours on it. The first morning they wanted to eat breakfast outside on the picnic table as soon as they woke up and I thought surely they would want to come in after awhile but no! The first day they played on it for 6 hours straight! (They even ate lunch on the picnic table!) Definitely would do it all over again!

Loving the fort!

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.

Have help and time off

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.

Fun to play, terrible to build

My kids absolutely love the playset. Putting it together was a completely different story. To be fair, I am not a handyman or anything close. However; my father, myself and my son put this together in a weekend. The instructions need to be done in color and have better explanation/pictures of orientation of the boards. We ended up having to go backwards at least 3 times because the instructions were not very clear on orientation of a board. With that said, The kids love it and it seems to be very sturdy and looks great in the backyard. We added a sandpit to the base of the unit for the kids.

Great quality!

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.

Great features!

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!

Skyfort ll Cedar Swing set-came damaged!

We really wanted this to be a great swing set for our kids, but SEVERAL boards came warped and split/chipped. Can't do too much about it when company is still closed and right in the middle of putting it together. So disappointed.... The crew's nest is quite small and the opening is very small so don't expect bigger kids to be going up there without bumping their heads or sliding their bodies on the wood part. Looks sharp when put together, but so disappointed about the wood. We put a sealer on it right away like suggested to preserve longevity and warranty. Hoping the company opens soon to see if can replace some of these boards. One of the boards is the A frame part of the swing set and this makes me nervous.

It's a kids paradise

I put this together by myself (44 female). Easy to follow directions, just make sure to pay attention to hole directions. Tips!!! 1. I went through the directions before I recieved order and numbered the pieces according to step. 2. Lay wood out and hardwood in steps! It's a lot! I stained it with high quality stain. As much as we pay for it, I want it to last.

Overall - great set with lots of accessories!

Some pros...1) Great assortment of features on this set up. Our two year old (under supervision of course) loves her new playset. 2) beautiful colors. 3) looks great in our backyard. 4) fast shipping, however... they didn't notify us of delivery as specified (it ended up working out just fine tho). Some cons... 1) build time - took two handymen about 28 hours total to fully build. 2) the reason we gave it four stars - not as sturdy as we were hoping for. 3) we wish the stairs and Rockwall were interchangeable - had to drill new wholes to accommodate the switch. Overall, we are very happy with the playset! I will update if we find it doesn't hold up.
