We have had this playset for about a year. I researched playsets for what felt like an eternity and finally settled on this one because of reviews and features as well as cost. My husband put it together himself with a little help from me and a couple brother-in-laws but did most of the work himself. It took him about two solid days, however, he had little difficulty. Instructions and parts were clear which made it easier. My kids love it!! It is very solid and does not rock at all even with 5 plus kids on it and all swings being used at once. It looks just as good now as it did a year ago. We made a great choice and would recommend it to anyone!!!

For the money, you can’t beat this swing set. I’ve looked at tons of sets and nothing else compares. The club house is big enough for me to fit in with both kids. Crows nest is a nice bonus. As long as you maintain this set with the proper stain and sanding when needed it will last for sure. We ordered this with installation and it took two days to build. Kids absolutely love it. We we’re going to go with a high end company that specializes in swing sets and happy we didn’t. It would of been half the size for the same amount of money.

I purchased this swing set a month ago an started putting it together this past week. I've discovered while following all the steps step by step that I've had to drill holes where there were supposed to be holes at.Its frustrating to keep switching from a drill bit to a Phillips head due to them not drilling the holes as they were supposed. The wood is very soft so it splits easily while drilling if you don't drill just right. They do not give you any extra screws/ bolts an I've had some strip out, I feel if you paying this huge amount for a swing seat that they should give you some spares. The swing set is massive, which is what we expected but the quality of the wood is not the best by far for this price at all.

My kids love this, but it took SEVERAL days to build. My husband and I worked two solid days on it and then he put in an additional 3 days to complete it! Our girls do love it though, so I think it is worth it. Maybe you want to consider paying people to put it together?

This swing set was a hit from day one. As far as product quality, it was a quality purchase. Only a couple boards had a split in the wood, which for how many pieces there was, we were very fortunate. It took 3 of us (me, dad, father-in-law) about 23 hours to put together and we are handy with tools, but not experts either. Biggest frustrations we had were the instructions not being clear.multiple times we had to go three to four steps ahead to get exact layout of boards with the pilot holes. Like others had said, it is beneficial to organize all boards ahead of time. Took my wife 2.5 hours to organize ahead of time. Biggest suggestion I have, is be patient. Read instructions thoroughly and look ahead to future steps if have questions on board layout. Overall great product and our kids are already loving it.

Santa had this play set delivered early so that we would have time to put it together before Christmas. We originally were going to pay someone to put it together but after organizing all the parts, I decided we could do it ourselves. Organization is definitely the key! All parts were accounted for and in great shape. I labeled pieces in baggies by steps and grouped wood together also. I am a 35 year old woman and am proud to say that I put the entire thing together by myself! All the parts fit together like a puzzle. Only one post had pilot holes mismarked but I figured it out quickly and just drilled new ones. I used two drills and had one battery charging at all times. You do need various drill bits, a hammer, and a rubber mallet also came in handy. The set came with a few drill bits and hand tools. There were plenty of extra screws, etc. I am really amazed at how strong it is. I've used the swings and glider, ladder, slide, and tried the monkey bars.I can even stand on the crow's nest and I'm 185 pounds. The inside is so tall (like 7 feet)! The kids have been playing outside until sunset, which was our goal. I'm so glad we purchased this set and look forward to years of fun since my kids are ages 2, 5, and 8. It's great for all three. The price, size, and various features were right on.

This play set is great! Our daughters and their friends love it! It took my wife and I two days to assemble it, so prepare accordingly. Pretty easy to assemble, directions will get you through it. It is a big structure with a lot of pieces/parts. Recommend laying all the pieces out in an alphabetical line so they are easier to find as you build. Very happy with the product!

This is gigantic and awesome. I was a little hesitant that it would look ridiculous in our yard due to its size but it is not as ostentatious as I thought. It is well made, smells like cedar still two months later, and is a wonderful play set for my kiddo.

This swingset turned out really great. Instructions were a little unclear at times and the bolts had a residue on them so they had a hard time grabbing to the drill when screwing them in. Also, the slide is a bit floppy but everything else was great. Kids love it.

The project is fairly easy to assemble however the plans are difficult to follow. It has many steps where you need to orient boards a certain way but the instructions are unclear on this. Then several steps later you find you put the board on the wrong way and either have to dissamble everything or drill new holes. Also the instructions do not mention squaring or leveling anyplace.
