We love it!

We bought this a couple of months ago and it did take a while to come in. Our delivery got rescheduled three times but once we finally got it, it was perfect after that. We worked on it daily after work and then spent an entire Saturday finishing it up. It’s perfect. Our three kiddos love it and next summer we plan to take down a swing and add a baby swing! It’s super sturdy and doesn’t move at all while all three kids are playing. Best investment we’ve made for a while and it was a “big sister gift” before our boy makes his arrival in July!

just as pictured

This set is beautiful, exactly as pictured. It took every bit of 2 days to put it together, but my kids love it. Missing some hardware, be sure to check before attempting to assemble. some of the hardware was difficult to find at our local stores. Otherwise I would highly recommend this product.

Our kids love their swing set! It took my husband 2 Saturdays and several evenings after work to put it together by himself. He had a little help from me and the kids (organizing all the pieces). It went together reletively smoothly, there were a couple of the predrilled holes that didn't line up just right, so he had to make his own. As the kids have played on it (for 2 month, almost daily) some of the screws around the swings have loosened up, espcially by the glider swing. My kids have complained that the "crows nest" wiggles a little but it seems to be secure and safe. My husband says it is just how it is comstructed. Overall we are happy with the payset, and feel it was a good choice.

Not bad for the money

We recently re did our back yard and made it somewhat revolve around this playset. Once it was in stock again we received it with in 5 days of ordering it. Like many of the other reviews you must separate all components and take inventory. We were missing only two pcs that are on the way form the mfg. no hassles no problems. The hardest part was trying to complete it with our son in and out of the house all day. The total time to complete it was around 20 hours. This amount of time was spread over three days. Me and my wife completed all the work with the exception of our son helping screw all the floor boards down. You know its monkey see monkey do with boys.. Any ways not a bad product at all. The instructions for the most part are good with several exceptions to lack of explanation on certain steps. Other then that we are very happy with our purchase. We have only one thing to complete and that is the surrounding floor is going to be artificial grass with 2" padding below.

Takes a while to build, but comes out great!

I first sealed every piece of wood with a sealer using a paint brush. That took several days. Then I slowly put it together with a friend at first and then all by myself. An electronic driver is a must (which I had). There are so many parts!!! I'm used to IKEA furniture, but this was much much more. It turned out great though. If you're committed to the build, then it just flows. Every part is labeled, and the instructions work. Sometimes something wasn't totally clear, but later steps show the configuration is more detail, so it works out fine. My kids love this play set and they get a great workout. It looks great in our back yard too. :)

Not bad for the price

I bought this April 2014 for my 5 yr old grandson. I had read the reviews and knew the wood wasn't as thick as the higher priced specialty stores around. It's made from 1"x4" boards. One small square piece split while we were screwing it in, so I used wood glue with a piece of blue painters tape around it. When it was dry the tape took the 'redwood' stain off and some wood splinters. I bought some Baer stain hoping that will protect it from the weather better. My main problem is trying to find something to protect the bases from the weed eater. The wood is soft and damages easily from the weed eater. I'm not sure there is anything out there for this purpose (something easier than buying a bunch of plastic tree wraps). My grandson likes it. He's too small still for the monkey bars, hasn't tried the rock wall. The glider swing seems to be his favorite for now. The slide warms up pretty fast in the sun. His older sisters (13,14) think it's pretty neat-they sit in the playhouse. Hopefully this will give him several years of fun..and off the Nintendo!

Whoohoo

The order came within the week and we started putting it together soon after. Pros: - many different play areas for different age kids to play!!! - looks good - sturdy, good quality (great swing hooks, sturdy rock wall) - didn't take as long to put together as thought (only one week on and off, but all day saturday) - one person can put most of it together except a few parts Cons: - wrong 2 pieces (have yet to order them) - seperating the peices by letter/#'s - had to be there for delievery (but delievered in the evening) - monkey bars spin (will try to fix) Overall a great playset and would recommend!!!!

Great for small children!

We have had this playground since January of this year. It is a good playground for our 5 year old. Only bad thing is it's not sturdy enough for an 9 year old who weighs 55 lbs +/-. Whenever our oldest goes across the monkey bars the wood creaks and when she swings, the wood creaks and sags. That is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I wish we would have spent a little more money and got one a little more sturdy. Other than that, my 5 year old loves it. It is perfect for her and her friends.

Excellent product

The Sky Fort came in just a few days which was a surprise. I found a man that had a business putting together items like this and it took him and a partner all day---but they did a nice job and the structure is amazing!!(I think it would be overwhelming for someone without construction experience??) My 3 and 5 year grandsons love it. It was a little scary at first because its so much bigger than their current little plastic swing set. But they are having a blast now. I really like the glider for the little guy---he can get it going all by himself! It is well made, sturdy and looks great in the yard.

Awesome!

I bought this for my 4 year old grandsons birthday and he loves it. Spends hours playing on it. He loves to climb up the latter and head up to the look out tower. He loves the rock climb and the closed in 2nd floor as his hide out. I had couple boards left off for ventilation, in case you notice in the photos
