Looks nice and is very sturdy when all done, which is not what I thought when first looking at the boards in the boxes...some warped and they are not standard size 1Xs. Sort, sort, sort and prepare ahead before assembling! Use the pictures!! especially for locating correct boards because some are not well marked and pay close attention to the orientation of the holes. Reading at least one or two steps ahead will also save some frustration. Lots more predrilling than we anticipated, but two drill batteries and quick change drill/socket/screw bits saved lots of time. Some of the not so straight boards can be manipulated into place and secured - just takes two to do it. The instructions show the highest little window in the back, but we put it in the front as it is in the promo pic, and also the instructions show all of the window frames installed on the inside and we put on the outside because they look better. We had 2 missing floor boards and another split board, but just called the 800 # and they were at our house in 2 days (FedEx). No questions asked - great customer service. This set is for smaller kids and I think 10 yrs old would be stretching it other than the monkey bars and swings. I researched many sets and this was the best value, but I don't have kids at home all of the time so it will only get occassional use. You can find the instruction manual online by searching 'leisure time products sky fort.' It does look impressive and we plan to seal it every year to keep it looking nice.

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!

We bought this for our sons 2nd birthday. This is something he can grown into and the quality is definitely you get what you pay for. We were impressed by the quality as we had looked at other play set that cost just about the same. You really get your moneys worth with this play set. We had about 8 kids (ages 2-10) of our friends over for his birthday and they all LOVED it! We did add a toddler swing had to purchase that separate. It took my husband and father in law a few days to put it together. FOLLOW the directions. Print them out and look them over before starting it will make it easier. We are very pleased with this purchase.

I purchased the product mid April for my daughter's birthday. Once the product arrived I began to open the box to inspect the swing set. At first glance I notice that one of the main swing beams and a support brace had been slightly damaged but wasn't worth me replacing it. After sorting out the pieces I realized that there was 9 pieces missing. These missing pieces prevented us from being able to assemble the product. After calling the company to have the pieces shipped they informed me it would be an additional 10 days before we received the missing pieces. In the mean time I had to keep the wood out of the weather to prevent any warping of the wood. Not exactly what I had in mind when purchasing the product. We finally have the swing/play set assembled; 21 days after placing the order. We felt that some pieces of wood did not seem very strong or durable as the previous wooden swing set we bought 8 yrs ago. When placing the wooden screws with an electric drill you will want to do this with some caution because the wood is easy to splinter. My husband and I will be shocked if the swing set holds up for 5 yrs.

I purchased this product and planned to work on it during Spring Break. It came in 4 boxes and each weighed about 200 lbs. The instructions says to have two people available to put it together, but I was able to do it by my self with a little help from my six year old. I found the instructions to be simple to understand and everything worked as planned. It did take me longer than I had planned to put it together, but it wasn't hard to do. Two pieces came broken in the box so I registered on their website and inserted the part number and the parts arrived a couple days later free of charge no questions asked. My child loves the play set so far and has played on it every day.

We have 3 kids, they were 2, 5 and 6 when we purchased this set. We did a good amount of research before choosing this one based on style, features, and price. The initial delivery they forgot the slide, but that seemed to be a product of the delivery people. It took about a week to have it delivered, but it worked out since it was one of the last pieces we needed and it look us longer than that to get to that step. It wasn't too hard for my husband to assemble with a little help. The kids love the variety and it fits great in our backyard. Very happy with this purchase!!

We’ve had the skyfort 2 for a few months now and my kids love it! It’s big enough for my 6 and 8 year old to enjoy, while still catering to my 3 year old. My husband and father in law spent 3 eight hour days assembling it. There were parts they had to figure out as they went along due to unclear directions or pieces not fitting properly, but in the end they made it work. Our order was missing two pieces, but backyard discovery quickly sent the pieces with no charge. I would recommend this set for anyone looking for a playground that will cater to children of different ages or grow with their toddlers. I’m very happy with our purchase.

We bought this 2 months ago, took a while for it to arrive-6 weeks! We used a handyman to set this up for us and it took 18 hours. Playground looks awesome and kids love it! We did have some issues with the wood splitting when we put in the screws, but will be applying wood putty to the area. So far happy with our purchase

Product arrived in 4 large heavy boxes. Took 2 full days to put together. Only complaint with building the play set was some instruction pages were very vague and didn't specify which way to put boards until a few pages later, so there was a lot of backtracking. Which is why I gave this a 4 star rating. Will need a minimum of 2 people to put this together. Other than that it is a great play set and my kids love it. Would definitely recommend this play set and/or brand to others!

This is a great play set. It went together with very few problems. My husband and I put it together ourselves and we are in our late '50s. It took a little longer than expected but only due to weather conditions. Our grandkids are in love with it. I would purchase it again.
