This is one popular structure! Almost everywhere we looked was sold out and then found it at Sam’s Club. If you want it built quick I recommend splurging and paying for assembly. We ended up paying the guys that are doing our remodel to put it together and ended up the same as the assembly option. It took them a week to do it but granted they hadn’t built a play structure before. They did a great job however and even stained it for us! We love it! Highly recommend!

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.

The wood absorbed a lot of moisture before the playset was fully assembled. This resulted in many warped pieces and not being able to fit all the pieces in designated spots. Wish higher quality weatherproof wood was used. Definitely need to waterseal it.

It was a little overwhelming opening the first of four boxes of parts...but after sorting the pieces by label number, the whole project went together really well. The directions were illustrated very well and easy to follow along. It took me about 2 1/2 full days to complete and I highly recommend using cordless drills (2 or 3 drills for driving, screwing, & pre-drilling). Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the quality of this product!

During a time when our childrens’ lives are anything but normal, the Skyfort II brought a welcome smile to their faces, and the wonderful sound of laughter to our backyard. Our girls love the large fort and crows nest, and they spend hours alternating between swinging on the swings, and climbing on the monkey bars. I elected to assemble the playset on my own, which was a large task, but very managable with some organization of the pieces and hardware at the outset. I also chose to pre-treat every piece of wood with a water sealer/UV protectant semi-transparent stain, prior to assembly. To enhance the usability of this playset for our daughters, I covered the sandbox area with additional cedar plank flooring, creating an even larger ground floor pinic and play area. With so many restrictions and closures at present, the Skyfort II was the perfect way to create a safe, full featured playground for our daughters, in our own backyard.

We saved up for this purchase, knowing for about a year this was the model we wanted. It took my husband two days to assemble by himself, with some help from me (mostly just holding things up). Thankfully everything came labelled and we set everything out so we could see each piece. The instructions were easy to follow. The actual playset itself is great! There are so many activities that can be done - climbing, swinging, sliding, playing in the sand, having lunch on the little picnic table, playing in the fort...my kids are constantly finding new ways to enjoy it - the newest being the creation of an obstacle course starting at one end and working their way to the other. Another nice feature is that we were able to remove the 2 seater swing attachment and in its place, put a baby swing. Now all three girls from ages 1 to 11 are enjoying it!

There were a few pieces that were cut that did not fit exactly right and had to be modified to work (first example that comes to mind is the 'end brace' for the crows nest that is suppose to fit perfectly over the swings. The cutout was over an inch and a half off. Overall though, the set looks awesome. Be prepared to spend 20-30 hours building this monster. Amazing set for the price.

I purchased this set online after looking at several that Sam's had to offer. This one had great reviews and I can see why! We had Sam's install it for us as well. It was $500 but SO worth it. It took ONE man 10 hours to have it put together. He was here as scheduled at 6:45 am. He was very nice and we couldn't have been more pleased. It saved us a lot of time and hassle by having paid to have it installed. Would highly recommend this set AND the install.

The quality of the swing set is excellent. I couldn't be happier. The only thing I had an issue with is that on several occasions the instructions were not really clear. This caused us to go back a few steps and take things apart and reassemble. But other than that, we were pleased with how pieces were labelled and how they fit together.

This was bought by my grandmother for my 2 children and it has been a hit! That are on it from the time they wake until bed time. It was time consuming to put together but once done it is very sturdy and is going to last for years. Only down side is delivery was very slow and could not be tracked. We had to keep calling company to see where it was and it sat in various locations for days before being moved.
