Incredible product! Assembly is a chore, but we made the best of it! We read somewhere to take the time to put all of the boards and hardware together for each step... If this takes half a day... IT IS WORTH IT! Instructions were great and fairly simple... make sure you read all the fine points in the instructions, otherwise, you may have boards on backwards. Trust the instructions and the step by step plan. If you do this, it is an easy build!

We bought this play set last fall and have used it almost daily. We love the features, the picnic table and the crows nest. All of our friends children come to play at our house. This play set will last us for many, many more years. We paid for someone else to assemble it and I must say that was the right choice.

I have only had the swing set put together for a week at this point, but the kids love it so far! Customer service was great, the guys that came to install it worked very hard, and had it put together in about 5 1/2 hours. The kids have been playing on it non-stop, it's also very pretty! I thought it was going to be too bulky, but it's actually the perfect size as well. A great buy!!! Hoping it stands the test of time!

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.

Most of the wood seems very flimsy. For the price I definitely expected better. My husband and father in law put it together alone in a weekend. The number one problem I have with this is the super shady thin pieces of plastic backyard discovery wants to call a slide. It’s literally a very thin sheet of plastic that screws into the side pieces with multiple screws that’s don’t fit in properly. Terrible slide.

Took a couple days to assemble -- most went well, but fellows said instructions could have been a little better as to certain things. Looks very nice when finished; kids love it; however, wish the quality of the wood was just a little better. On the ladder, when assembling, one of the legs of the ladder actually split, which is quite noticeable on the finished product. I would say this is a pretty good set -- but was more expensive than most I looked at -- so I expect it to last and wear well.

Great entertainment for my 3 children. When I recieved this product I inventoried this product by seperating it into 10 steps at a time per instruction booklet. I purchased Thompsons Water Seal (Honey Cedar) and sealed all boards before assembly. Recommend to have a cordless impact drill and a standard cordless drill, one for lag bolts and one set up for pilot holes. Took approx. 12hrs to unpackage, organize, and waterseal. Approx. 12hrs to assemble. Recommend to purchase sand box liner with cover or I purchased 1x6 doug fir and painted green to match green on playset for more play area.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this playset in February to replace a 20 year old set that my grandchildren used. I currently have two great grandchildren living here temporarily and this one fit the bill. It took me a month to assemble, as I waterproofed all parts before assembling. Well worth the extra work being in Maine, and not bad for a 63 year old great grandpa. I would definitely recommend, as the kids love it.

Well here's the story i bought the model highlander before this at one of the clubs but when i saw this online it looked quite bigger for a couple of hundred dollars more so i ordered this one after looking and reading soo many good reviews about it . Over all i would give it 95/100 and the 5 i took out were for being it soo difficult to assemble and i really mean its not one of the easiest swing one can assemble . You really need to be good with a drill first of all other thn that forget about it and thn u make one or two inch difference in putting one of the parts thn you can expect entire thing to be put together again . Took 3 ppl almost 2 days to make it happen and yes please do make sure u check out all the parts and arrange them according to the list given as one missing bolt/screw can leave u stranded till it arrives or else the other option like we did was went to homedepot where there particular size wasnt available and we ended up putting a longer length hex bolt(abt 2 inch bigger) which does look ugly and not satisfactory to ones view . Or else i could have waited for a week for it to be shipped and thn what if another part was missing call again?. any ways just count all the parts including hardware assign one extra day for it believe me its worth it . Now finally after its put up together doesnt look like a bad job by my helper couple of parts are not alligned like they should be but i think it was overall a very hectic job and requires a good handyman to do it not really difficult to read the steps thought but still i'd say go for it not a bad product for the price.

A great value! We purchased this almost 2 years ago and we love this set. It is definitely a set that can grow with the children because of all the different types of play it offers. It has proven to be a hit with many kids at a time during playdates. It does take a weekend to assemble, but it’s well worth it. There were only a couple of pieces (1 board and 2 hardware pieces that were missing) and the company was easy to talk to and quickly shipped the parts. The only maintenance I do is annually spraying it with Thompson Seal!
