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!

I purchased this about a month ago for my son for his 3rd birthday. I chose this one because i wanted something he could grow into and use for years to come. i can’t wait to make many years of memories on this fort! so far, easy to put together and great instructions. we are in the home stretch and almost finished putting it together. can wait to finish! you won’t regret this purchase!

We bought last year's model at the end of the sesaon. It is awesome, kids love it! However, beware it is very time comsuming to assemble. You MUST have a big truck to get it home- it was in 5 boxes. The main support posts were NOT 4x4, they were sets of 2x2s encased in plastic; we had to buy good 4x4s. The playscape has no way to anchor to the ground. We had to buy 2 ft in-ground stakes for the 4x4s. The wood is NOT treated. EVERY SINGLE slat had to be sealed before assembly. This is NOT a weekend job; it took my very competent husband several weekends to assemble. Overall, a great purchase and the kids love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice looking. It did take about 15 hours to sort all of the parts/bolts with each step and about 30 hours to put together. The app was very helpful as it could 3-D the part and show how to attach to the main structure when the paper book could not. The swings are a little close together so we took one down.

I bought this for my kids about a year and a half ago. I love it so far. It was the best value for the money that I found. I wanted to get a slide, monkey bars and swings. I also did not want to have to stain the entire playset so this was perfect. It had all the features I wanted and was pre-stained and it is made of cedar so that was a bonus. It has held up very well. I did move and have to move this and partially disassemble it and put it back together. It held up well. My kids love it and play in it often. It was quite a job to set it up. I set it up myself working on it in the evenings and sometimes on the weekends and I bet it took me close to 2 weeks to assemble it all just working on it in my free time. I would recommend having a nice drill with a good batterypack or multiple battery packs and an impact driver for the lag screws. I was in the market for those tools at the time anyway and bought a pair of those with lithium ion battery packs and that helped a lot. I do not believe that I was missing any parts and did not have to order anything extra. I am just going to setup the sand box for my kids. I did add reinforcing particle board panels on the crows nest floor to make it more solid and give me peace of mind with my kids playing in it. I can stand in it and it holds me fine. I weigh about 160lbs so it should hold a few small children fine.

Our kids have an absolute blast on this playground! We are running into one problem.. the bar that holds the swings for some reason is very short and doesn’t leave enough spacing between the glider and swings. We have had a few kids get hurt.. my son was swinging and his friend went to get off the glider and it moved a little toward the right and caught my sons hand mid swing.. Wondering if a longer replaceable bar is available?

I didn't keep track of my hours of labor on the install, and I can't say it really took 3 weeks to put together because of all the rainy days I couldn't work on it. I figure it was about 30-35 hours total, and only had help 3-4 hours from someone else(there are a few bolts that you need someone on the other side, unless to have eight foot jelly arms). If you purchase, check ALL peices against the list. Was only missing three parts, and they had them to me in three days with no hassle, but would have held me up if I didn't check first. Pay close attention to which way parts are turned when they are bolted on, and do not over tighten bolts. Very nice looking set, and sturdier than I thought it would be looking at the lumber when I got it.

I assembled the Fort myself and had a good experience. Very good layout and instruction manual. A broken and a missing piece, called the number, got a person, and they sent me replacements right away. Quality hardware and wood pieces, I don't know how they make any money for the price they sell for.

Have had the set for about 2 months now. My kids absolutely love it and play on it daily. The setup between the app and the manual made this a very easy setup!! Lay out everything before hand and you will have this set assembled in no time. If you are trying to speed up your set up time, have two groups of people set up. One group starts in the base of the main structure and the other group starts on the rock wall, steps, etc.

Hands down best value for swingset. Did a lot of research before purchase. Quality control and instructions were excellent. It does take as long as the instructions say to assemble plus whatever you need to do to level any ground contact points. Spend the little extra to get this level of set so it will last for a while.
