We bought this almost a year ago and my kids love it!! They play for hours on it and love to have lunch in the picnic table. My hubby and I are pretty handy so we were able to get it done in a day and a half. I expect that we will get more than our moneys worth out of this.

The purchase and assembly of the Skyfort II from Sams Club went very smoothly. The freight company driver was nice enough to haul all four boxes up my driveway and put them into the garage. A short time after delivery the assembly company set up a time to put the fort together. One guy came out right at 8am on the scheduled day and worked on the set until sun down (10pm). He then returned the next morning and finished the rest in two hours. I am so glad I had a professional assembly this thing. It is huge with hundreds of parts. It was well worth the extra money. The set is nice and sturdy. The kids absolutely love it.

My kids love their Skyfort II playset. They want to go outside every chance they get to play on it. It does take up a lot of room, though, so make sure you have the space available before you put it up. Pay close attention to the detail in the drawings, as there is very limited wording in the instructions. Organize everything by section before you start will save a lot of time. It Is very heavy and sturdy. I even climb in it myself sometimes!

So pretty much the same as most of the reviews. It is really nice that all the lumber is letter stamped. It makes it a little easier. We are almost done building and we are going on 14 hours. My husband and I are not builders/contracters and have been able to figure it out. The instructions are so awful. It tells you to do something and then 5 steps later you see that it was wrong. Very strange. We are happy with the quality of the product and can tell its gonna last a long time. Cant give it 5 stars because of the awful instructions. We are going to finish today so once the kids are happily playing it will all be worth it and those bad instructions will be a vague memory. lol... Have fun putting it together or better yet call the number in the box and have it done!!

The process of getting the playset to our home was great. However; the company that came to install (GoConfigure). Was AWFUL! They had quoted us one price and since the men did not get it done in one day, which they said they would. They called and demanded I pay another $220. If I didn't they would unassembled the entire set. UGH!! I told the men over the phone what playset they would be installing and everything. When we checked out on the SAMS website we chose playset, not swingset since that is what the product description stated. We are very unhappy.

We have three kids (3, 7, 9) and wanted to find something that would entertain all of them. Some of the other sets were geared to either the littler or bigger kids while this set is perfect! The monkey bars are perfect for the older kids and the little one likes the the rest of it. The bird nest is always exciting for new kids that come over. The slide is fast! The little one took about 10 tries before they figured out to land safely without help. Highly recommend for families that want something that will grow with them and families that have a wide age range of kids! One thing to note it is about 12 hours to assemble including sorting the pieces. The boxes looked intimidating but we were happily surprised that it wasn’t that bad. Only a couple parts needed two adults. My older kids helped sort and grab the pieces.

My wife and I bought this around 3 months ago and we JUST were able to finish it (we have 2 small kids, 2 dogs and we both work). We finally just got it done last week and our kids love it. The wood pieces are pretty sturdy and it’s a really beautiful set once it’s completed. My wife and I had so much fun building it. Some screws and bolts were tricky to get in, but if you’ve built anything before you should be able to handle it just fine as it comes with great instructions in the paper copy as well as in the phone app. There are some discrepancies between the two though, I found, so I’d suggest sticking with one or the other (I used the paper copy, call me old-fashioned). I had to put a few of my own screws into some of the thinner boards as I finished and found some screws coming loose. Just some 1” screws will do the trick. I recommend having some on hand. All in all, this is a great play set! And we can’t wait to see our kid’s build memories on what we built with our hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re so happy with our decision. This playset is big enough to accommodate our kids as they grow. The only downside is that the picnic table top is already peeling so we will have to do some maintenance next year which is much earlier than we would have expected.

I just finished assembling and my kids love their new playset. In the COVID era it's really nice to have a playset with so many features. The clubhouse is big enough for a few kids to fit comfortably and the overall design is very functional. The assembly takes a while, yes, but I actually found that using the BILT app along with the manual it wasn't actually that difficult. For sure, you have to pay close attention to where pilot holes are, but the steps are otherwise clear. I did organize all of the wood pieces and hardware first which was very helpful. I would estimate that it took me about 2 hours to organize everything, around 10 hours of assembly time for the individual components, about 20 hours to put the clubhouse together, and another 2 hours to attach everything, finish the crow's nest, and stake to the ground. Again, this took a while but wasn't that difficult. I'm not a carpenter and have only moderate skills in this area so take that for what it's worth. I did have a helper about half of the clubhouse assembly time, and there's only a few steps where it's essential to have two people present. The hardware was very high quality. One wood piece arrived broken, but luckily it was a non-essential piece (seat on the sandbox). The only reason I put 4 stars is that the wood quality is pretty mediocre, which is to be expected at this size and price point. It is pre-stained, so I'm hoping that adding a coat of sealant this fall and stain next spring will help keep things in shape for the next 5-6 years at least. Overall I am happy with my purchase. It looks nice, wasn't complex to assemble on my own, and seems to be a lot of fun for my kids.

For the money, you can’t beat this swing set. I’ve looked at tons of sets and nothing else compares. The club house is big enough for me to fit in with both kids. Crows nest is a nice bonus. As long as you maintain this set with the proper stain and sanding when needed it will last for sure. We ordered this with installation and it took two days to build. Kids absolutely love it. We we’re going to go with a high end company that specializes in swing sets and happy we didn’t. It would of been half the size for the same amount of money.
