Kids love it!!!

Purchased it about 3weeks ago for My kids as a birthday gift! It arrived 1week before the date given to us! Good:came earlier then expected Bad: they let me know one day before it arrived it was going to be delivered and be left in front of the house husband had to leave early to take it to back yard. My husband installed it! It looks great! Kids love it! Only thing bad about it which is nothing major but the microscope keeps falling since we first got it and it came broken. Was cheaply made. Other then that it's great! Would post a picture but keeps saying error

Huge Playset

We ordered the playset online. It was delivered in approximately 2 weeks. The delivery is curbside and it came in 4 boxes totalling 750lbs. Luckily my neighbor was home and offered to load it into the back of his truck from the semi and drive it to the backyard. Our driveway is 120ft long, so it would have been difficult moving the boxes. Putting it together took approximately 24 hours, with 2 people assembling and 1 person searching and gathering parts. The parts are not in order in the boxes so i suggest laying all the wooden parts, seperating them into groups. I did this at the end of day 1, after we worked on it for 8 hours. It made day 2 much easier. I also suggest looking ahead a few pages before assembling sections. One of the main beams has a pretty good size chunk thats damaged, it is just esthetic, but disappointing. Overall, my daughter loves it and we hope it lasts her many years.

Great features for kids

Got this set 2 weeks ago, it took 1 person a week to ten days to put together. Take your time and lay all parts out first! It's better than the wait period for having assemblers come do it! The only negative I have is the swing side needs to be longer, the swings and glide are to close together for safety! Other than that kids love it! Great purchase on sale!

Skyfort II

Great playset! If you are a DIY type person you'll enjoy putting this together. Instructions are not idiot proof, so ingenuity and know how is a must. During assembly you have to pay close attention to the pilot holes and ensure they are faced in the direction with respect to the illustrations. I jumped around in the manual, because I did half the build in my garage due to weather. The nut barrels are trash! I hated these things. The clearance tolerances of the threads are extremely tight. I had to prefit them with the bolt prior to installing them to ensure proper engagement and alignment. Other than that great product.

I purchased this when they had a one day sale so assembly was included so that is why we got this one. I am not really impressed with the slide, it is a piece of plastic unrolled and fixed on a frame, not really liking the glider, it is a cheap on as well. But other than that seems good.

My Kids Love It

Easy purchase and delivery experience. My only suggestion for improvement would be to package the material in each box according to the assembly instructions. I had to open ALL the boxes to start working, which required scattering pieces over a wide area. Not the end of the world, but it would make for a more pleasant assembly experience. Otherwise, assembly was very easy and the directions were excellent.

Great Fort, difficult to assemble

I am impressed with the finished product, but the assembly was very difficult. It is a 131 page manual and there are about 40 different bags of various nuts, bolts and screws. It took me at least 4 days to put together myself and I am a builder! But for the price, the finished product is nice, definitely not heavy duty enough for kids over 12 though. Definitely meant for kids age 3-11. Overall, great product, took away a star for being extremely difficult to assemble.

Kids love it!

We bought this swing set about a month ago. The grandkids have used it every day—even before going to school in the morning. They enjoy playing in the fort, having snacks at the picnic table, and all of the fun activities they can do with the various accessories (e.g. climbing wall, glider, swings, monkey bars).

Awesome swing set

This is perfect for my 6 year old son. We purchased this last summer and assembly took us 3 full days with 2 people. Word to the wise download the app and watch the videos as the paper instructions can be difficult to follow. We have had this up for one year and it's still holding up great. Hours and hours of fun for our son.

Easy to Assemble, A Haven of Joy

We really labored over the decision of which brand and style of playset to buy. WE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE! This swing set rings with joy from the very moment moment the kids (5,3,3) run outside. The only downside is that the kids are howling with rage when we tell them it's bedtime -- they just want to keep playing! It is a high-quality, easy-to-assemble play set. With detailed preparation and patient assembly, you can put it together yourself. Before starting, sort all the metal elements into little baggies numbered by step. Check all the lumber and make sure it's in good order (we did not have any problems, but checking ahead will yield dividends if any issues arise). And of course, make sure your ground is clear and level before you start -- or you'll have issues once it's time to bring it all together. We live in Zone 4B (COLD & snowy winters) so we sealed it by hand with multiple coats of a high-quality sealant. It takes time but it's worth it. Our playset is over a year old now and looks fresh and new. It was a bit creaky at first (this is to be expected with fresh lumber) but now it has settled into the earth and is solid as a rock. The glider is perfect for our twins, who are not old enough to pump a swing on their own -- and it gives us adults a break from pushing them for hours at a time! The clubhouse is the perfect place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. We often have all our neighbors over and the whole set brims with kids from age 1 (supervised in the sanbox) up through 12. If you're having a hard time landing on an option, I would say: You can't go wrong with this one. We're loving it (and when the kids are all done, it will have a future life as a very dynamic chicken coop!)
