I bought this a couple months ago and so far it has been awesome. So many different things to do. Pros: Tons of activities for multiple kids at once. Great directions, easy to assemble. Sturdy. Major statement piece... People drive slowly past my house just to check it out. Cons: Takes a long time to assemble, requires at least one other person to finish (I read reviews and expected this, so I was not concerned but it really is massive). Holy hardware. So many different sized screws and bolts. Organization is key because you can waste a lot of time looking for the right bag of hardware. Slide gets hot in the sun. Also, very bouncy so be careful with small children. My kid is 2, occasionally he is not facing the same direction as when he started lol. I started by myself in the garage since the first few steps are assembly of the peripherals that attach to the main structure. Organizing all of the parts by letter and number is an important first step. Finding what you need for each step will be near impossible without doing that. It'll likely take at least two days. Overall I would recommend this to anyone with the space to put it up. I haven't met a kid yet that hasn't had a great time on it.

We bought this approximately a month ago and we absolutely love it! The only downfall was the building process. Shew, it was a doozy! We did have one board under the picnic table where after two weeks of play the screws broke in half. It didn’t break the board, just the screws. We have since replaced it. The kids play on it almost daily though so it will still pay off!

My kids LOVE this play set! They are 3 1/2 and 6. It's huge and very sturdy. The only thing I don't care for is the monkey bars are very high and feel they are unsafe for my young kids. I know they will grow into them in a few years. When we received the product we had a few missing things but the company sent them and we had them within 4 days. It took about 40 hours to set up (we knew that it would that that long). Overall I am very happy and so are my kids!

We bought this for our daughter who will be 3 soon with hopes that she would be able to play with this set for a long time. We don't quite have the set together yet, but I think she will get many years of enjoyment out of it. It comes in 4 big boxes that have to be carried by at least two people. We took out the hardware (screws, bolts, etc.) first and I separated them into a couple dozen throw away food storage containers and labeled the outside of the plastic container. This was a huge help! It has made the small pieces easy to find, and keeps all 400 of some of the screws together in one place. We were missing a couple of bolts and some flat washers, but we just went to our neighborhood hardware store and picked some up. The directions are a little difficult to interpret. They're often vague and the pictures aren't helpful sometimes. My husband, who is extremely handy and has built many things for our home, and my dad who is very good at building stuff as well, have found that they've had to undo some of the steps because the directions weren't explicit and it wasn't until three steps later they discovered that they had attached something incorrectly. This is very frustrating and has caused the project to take a bit longer than it probably should have taken. Plan on spending quite a bit of time working on this. We started the set on a Friday night after my husband got off work. We worked on it off and on during the weekend because it was very rainy and stormy. We've worked on it most nights after our daughter goes to bed as well, but there are 103 steps to putting the set together and some steps require screwing 16 boards in place, for example. So, it takes a while. My husband recommends having a cordless drill with at least two batteries so that you can keep recharging the batteries. We have used the drill as a screwdriver and socket wrench, and this has cut down on the time spent screwing stuff together. If you can, try to have someone help you put it together. That way, one person can retrieve the parts you need, while the other person puts it together. This also cuts down on time. Overall, we're pleased with the quality of the set and the priced we paid. We would definitely recommend this to friends and family. Our daughter is chomping at the bit to get out there and play on the set!

Got a great price that included shipping. A few minor defects in wood parts that were replaced readily by the manufacturer. Easily obtained assistance from manufacturer on questions during construction. All my kids LOVE it! So many things to do on it that they don't interfere with each other.

I purchased this swing set for my 4 and 7 year old. They absolutely love it. However if I had to do it all over again I would pay the extra $$ to have it assembled as it took a few days for two of us to assemble (4-5 hrs a day) . I downloaded the assemble app to my phone and it was much easier than the paper instructions that come with it.

I had bought this for my two young boys as a Quarantine present. They love it, I love it and it fits the backyard so well. The Skyfort is built so well and is very sturdy. It gives my backyard such a new look and I’m glad that I went with Backyard Discovery over anyone else. We now have years of fun ahead of us!

Just purchased set up this month. Impressed with the precision in manufacturing and the clear instructions for assembly. Every piece went together with ease. It feels really solid and durable. Bought this for my when my grand son is here, he is completely thrilled with all of the features. Looking forward to watching him grow as he masters all the challenges provided. Would highly recommend as a first choice in playsets!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Husband and I bought this and put together ourselves(easy with directions but time consuming) for our girls 8 & 4. They loved it and have so much fun imagining all sorts of adventures in the fort or sandbox! Highly recommend

I love this playset. I have a 4 yr old and a 8 yr old and it fit both of their needs. So putting it together took my husband almost 2 full days. Went together easily after sorting the pieces. We did have a couple problems with holes lining up but we were able to fix that. Also may want to put top/bottom stickers on some pieces. Kind of wish that there qas more space between swings because its hard to fit a circle swing with the other ones.
