Great Addition to the outdoor experience

We bought this for the summer last year for our kids and they absolutely love it. They use it every day they can. It’s always a focal point especially when their friends come over for a play date. It’s keeps them entertained and adds a great look to the yard!

Great instructions and labeled parts!

We were so glad to get the play structure. Delivery was wonderful they unloaded it and left it in our garage at my request since I was home. Each box had an inventory list and was very easy to unload and check off the inventory. Each piece was labeled nicely and the instructions were very well written. You could also follow along on your cell phone so we followed along in the instructions book as well as followed along on the online video it made putting the product together very clear! It took 2-4 of us about 2 days to assemble. Customer service was also outstanding!

Did not last as thought

We bought this right before the summer of 2020 when the world shut down. We wanted our kids to get outside and play since they were home. It started out great, but after trying to maintain the upkeep, it began to get worse. A year into this playset, the pieces were warping and starting to fail. The whole playset shakes back and forth, even with my 35 lb child. We do not feel safe with it anymore, and now we are on the hunt for a new one. If you want to spend this type of money, keep in mind that even if you try and upkeep it like told, it will still fail. Not happy.

Great product

My grandkids love it,keeps them entertained for hours I'm sure longer when the weather gets nice. If you don't want to run around with a bunch of kids spending a lot of money and extras baggage this is ideal if you can afford it. It's worth it in a couple years. I did have them do install to save fighting and headaches with spouse,and to assure proper essembly for safety.

Why all the good reviews?

Not sure why everyone loves this set. Overall, the set provides enough activities for my children to play with. However, the quality is extremely poor. The wood is very soft and split in many spots while putting it together. It is not cedar, but cedar stain. Part of the wood grain are rising and peeling. This set has been together for 2 months. I called customer service and their response was that, I must be having extreme weather and in order to maintain the warranty, I must seal the set. Ok, but it's only been up 2 months and in NY we have not had extreme weather, it's been unseasonable cool. Our intention was to seal it at the end of summer, because I did not want the kids playing on the set when the sealer smell was on it. Poor customer service and a poor set. Wish I'd spent the additional $300 bucks and bought the gorilla set.

Well constructed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were all impressed with the construction of the play set. Took 5 adults almost 8 hours to put up. Mostly 4 (one adult was mostly in the way). Perfect size for 4 toddlers to play with room to spare. Definitely recommend this play set it to keep your kids busy and happy.

Worth every penny

I bought this for our four grandkids, ages 3 to 8. They love it. Well built with easy to follow instructions. Me and the wife put this together, with no arguments. The key is not to be in a rush to get it together. I sorted the parts out on a 16' trailer on a Saturday. We stated putting it together most of the day Sunday. Worked a few hours in the afternoons Monday and Tuesday. Finished on Wednesday. Hardware was good quality and everything fit as it should. Highly recommend.

A great investment to get your kids outside

My parents and I coordinated the purchase of the Skyfort II for my three kids (10, 7, and 5) this past Christmas. Best purchase ever. Even in less than great weather, my kids are clamoring to get outside. That’s right it’s 2023 and my kids want to be outside. My 10 year old is pushing 80 pounds and this equipment is holding firm under his weight on the swing. It’s held up against much larger kids as well. There is no or only barely noticeable twisting or buckling that I had seen on some of our earlier and cheaper play sets. It’s held me as I sat in the fort part of the structure without so much as a creaking of wood and I’m well over 200 pounds. I will say we did pay to have it professionally installed and it was worth it. My kids love it. My wife and I love it. Everyone that’s come to our house love it. I cannot recommend the Skyfort II highly enough.

Great swing/clubhouse for my Granddaughters

We bought this for our two granddaughters ages (6 & 4). I searched a long time before purchasing this from Sam's. No one had a better price then Sam's and in fact, I saw other's selling this brand new for $200.00 to $300.00 more than Sam's price. I received free shipping as well. It took my husband 1 1/2 days to put it together by himself. We put their Stove/kitchen set on the 2nd level so they can feel like it is a true clubhouse. We put a mailbox out and flowers and they have been playing in to for hours on end. Even the other children on the block come over to play. It is tall enough that my husband can stand straight up (he is 6') in the clubhouse. My girls are very tall for their ages and I know will be able to play with this until they are at least 12. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a swing set/clubhouse for their children.

Fabulous!

This swingset is as nice as it looks in the picture. It took 5 adults 4 /4 hour nights after work to put it together. My 2 year old granddaughter loves it! Separate all the parts and read the manual first My daughter, sister and myself put all the components together , the 2 guys built it and didn't have any problem
