I recently put this play set together for my kids, and they LOVE it. My mother and I assembled it, and it did take a bit longer than the instructions indicated (we are both relatively skilled at this type of work, and put in 4 solid days of building). On the other hand, the instructions were detailed and accompanied by clear pictures, which made the construction process smooth. All the wood and hardware were included, with extras of commonly used pieces. The resulting swing set it lovely to look at, highly functional, and great fun for both my 1 year old and my 4 year old. The sandbox and double swing are particular hits!

I bought this swing set a month ago and my grandkids absolutely love it. I am so glad that we purchased it for them. We also have a 7 yr old special needs son that we can add a swing for and there is plenty of space to put his swing so that he can play with his nieces and nephew.

I purchased this in the spring of 2016 for all my grandchildren to use. They spend time at my house every day while their parents work and having more activities for them was great. Even the youngest granddaughter (one year old) was climbing the ladder up the back and scaring me! Haha!

Purchased the skyfort-ii back in March. Had a company do the install because I dont have the patience for this type of assembly. Only con I have about this set is that the screws that come with it are horrible! One on the monkey bars was snapped off and luckily it was me who tried it out cause a kid probably would have gotten hurt falling that far. Bought extra cedar boards for the sandbox area and extended the flooring.

I spent countless hours researching and trying to find the right set that would work for our 6 year old son (63 pounds and tall) as well as our newly turned 2 year only (27 pounds). Many of the sets have so many extra bells and whistles (tic tac toe, steering wheels etc) which jack the price up an insane amount. What we loved about this set is its large enough to grow with it and its all the stuff kids love at the parks. Overall I will say it is a very sturdy and well made set. Some of the boards are "peeling" and a few cracked while screwing in the screws. It took several days a few hours at a time to complete. Chicago weather kept getting in our way. However; I would say it is defiantly a whole weekend project. My husband, father and brother who are both in construction helped build it. My father joked that he could build a house faster than building this because there are so so so many bolts, and screws. The pre drill is nice because its all laid out but it also takes more time because it has to be perfectly lined up. A huge time saver is laying out each section and putting the bolts you need with it so one person can just grab and you aren't looking for the different parts. My biggest complaint which I later saw on a review on amazon is how close the swings are to each other. I wish the beam holding them was just a little longer. Had I known that we probably would of changed out the beam ourselves but we were too far in to do it once we realized it. The slide is also a little flimsy but the kids don't seem to mind it. All in all its a large and very sturdy play set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my kids and put it together myself with help of another. I felt the price was good for all that you got. Assembly was challenging, but they made it easy with everything labeled and an inventory sheet in each box. The kids really like all the features. We'll see how it holds up.

We bought this swingset for our little girl as a Christmas gift and she absolutely loved it!! I put it together by myself mainly and it took me about 20 hours total because I work 40 to 50 hours a week at my job, so I could only work on it here and there. We didn't have any missing pieces and I felt the directions were very easy to follow. Our little girl is only two but she loves it she can even climb the rock wall by herself. I would definetly reccommend this to anyone looking to purchase a swingset!!

We bought this last month for our two kids (7 and 5) and it's great! We've had 6 friends over at once to play and there are so many options that it really is perfect!! The set up was time consuming, as expected. The only critique I have is that some of the set instructions could've been more clear, but it wasn't too hard to figure out.

Considering the options you receive with this swing set and it's cost vs. Other swing sets I think it is a good value and would suggest buying it. The boards are a little flimsy vs other swing sets I've seen. I assembled it with my father and it was a nightmare. The directions were not very easy to read. We also found on a number of occasions that the pre-drilled holes were in the wrong places which was made simple tasks become time consuming.

Great quality, all of the parts were there with the exception of 4 1" screws (no big deal). It is easy, but very time consuming, to assemble. We used an air rachet and compressor to install all of the bolts, which I would highly recommend even if you have to rent it. It saves your wrists from having to use a conventional ratchet 250 + times. The finished product looks just like the picture. It is better than some other units at twice the price or more.
