Excellent quality once built, directions could be written a little better, and if you are slightly off level, you may need to redrill and move some hardware to get it right. Overall, extremely satisfied with final product and my daughter and neighbor kids love it. I had to have customer service send me a few extra pieces of wood that arrived damaged. They shipped quick, no questions asked. I would recommend their products to anyone. It took me about 30 hours over 4 days. you will need a second set of hands for some of it and ladders to assemble.

We love the Skyfort II. We hired assembly and so happy that we decided to do that. It is a wonderful playset. We bought it for our grandchildren. They are ages newborn to 2 1/2 years. We also purchased two toddler swings to use until the grandchildren get older. This playset is something that they will grow into for many years.

My husband & I are extremely happy with the Sky fort 2 outdoor playset. We ordered it online and it shipped in a week. We love the color of the wood and how sturdy it was when put together. It is a great height for our growing 3 and 5 yr old. They play on it daily, rain or shine. The clubhouse is great. Very tall and spacious inside. Can fit multiple children in at one time. I wish the swings were spaced out just a little further apart though. I'm always afraid they are going to hit each other while swinging. If you are planning to assemble it yourself, like my husband did, just know that you will be spending a lot of time on it. It took him 5-6 eight hour days to count/organize parts, and assemble the whole playset himself. The good news is if you follow the manual, it goes together easily. It's just time consuming due to all of the screws that need to be put in. But the pre-drilled holes were very helpful. My kids love it and so do we! I would definitely recommend this playset to others who are looking for a larger playset that their kids can grow into.

We bought this play set for our children last year. They love it! It was a lot of peices to put together but with 2 men who are skilled and a wife reading directions we were able to put it together in 1 very long day. we sprayed it with a protectant and there is a little discoloration after a year but over all we are very happy with this purchase. We separated all the peices and layed them out so all the like peices would be together. I highly recommend that you do this because there is a lot. It helps keep it organized and you aren't search for hours for a lost peice.

We were please with how quick our order was processed. We placed the ordered on Sunday, received a call for deliver on Tuesday, swing set arrived Friday, within the same week. All parts and hardware included, no damage. It took my husband and I a combined 20 hours over a 3 day weekend to assemble the swing set. We did sort the hardware on table tops. As well as fully unpacked 2 of the 4 boxes before running out of room in our pole barn. A few part numbers (stamped on the wood) were difficult to read and resulted in some minor set backs. And the direction leave a lot to the imagination. But over all assembly went quick and easy.

This swingset is awsome! I looked high and low for the perfect swingset. I didn't want anything that was cheap and made of cheap material that would only last a year or so but I also didn't want to spent $5,000-10,000. The SkyFort is very sturdy and has plenty of activities. The only thing I didn't like was that you have to step in the sandbox to get to the play area underneath. However, two year olds don't need to play in sand anyway - it'll get in their eyes, ears and mouth - so I also bought the wooden floor to cover the sandbox and have more of a play area. I contemplated getting some help to put this thing together myself but after I inventoried all the boxes and saw just how many pieces there were...I changed my mind! I paid the $$$ through Sam's to have someone install it. He and a helper started at 8 am and by 6 pm they were done! We hope to have the swingset for a long time so I have water sealed it and put a safety zone around it. It is fabulous!

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.

This is a good quality play set. The Crow's nest is great. It took me about 40 hours to finish the assembly. The instructions were pretty good, but you must read thru each step two times before executing. I have a 3 and 5 yrs old and they love it. The wood was beautiful. I was missing some parts and called Customer Service. They were great and overnite the missing parts to me. I would recommend you get extra 5/16 inch washer. Great product for the price. You won't be disappointed. I am going water seal it in about two weeks. Excellent product and awesome customer service!

A month. This took a month to complete. Why? Lot's of pieces, solo assembly, and Texas. Texas weather was quite uncooperative some weekends. And staining. Yes folks, you MUST stain/seal this set. Some build then stain. My wife and I chose to hand-stain each and every piece of wood in the set to ensure first coat coverage. In a couple of months, I will whip out the sprayer and spray stain. It is a good looking set. And big. The bad: The wood feels and handles rather light. This led to some split pieces, including main tower support leg B1 where lag screws were placed for attaching G3 floor rail, as well as one of the monkey bar E5 uprights when attaching a rung. One of the bay window panels was broken on arrival. A couple of the 074 T-nuts sunk a little too far during the beginning hours of assembly. I learned that modulating drill power is far more effective than relying on setting stopping torque on the drill. And that damned crow's nest assembly. At 280lbs, 6ft tall, it was pure hell trying to contort and squeeze my big self through that little access hole. But, it is possible and my weight was supported without a flinch. One key point when assembling the crow's nest is the attachment of the lower M4 wall rail to the crow nest supports. You won't be able to get a power drill in due to sloped roof interference. Use the tool that comes with the set to hand tighten the lag screws on the lower board. Now for the good. Everything else. It is an impressive set that feels supremely sturdy. My daughter absolutely LOVES this kinder graduation gift! Her mom has great tastes and chose this set! One final note - for those in an HOA, be sure to submit for ARC approval before assembling! The Crow's nest may present a privacy gripe if there are backyard stipulations in your CC&Rs.

Some of the barrel nuts were not threaded correctly and some of the lumber identifications were smudged but overall not a bad install. Prints could've been a bit clearer where some of the pilot holes were on posts, etc. It was hard to tell and a few pieces were put in facing the opposite way. The Kids love it.
