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

[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.

This set was great once we finally got it together. It took us a week and at times the directions were confusing. We had one board left over and when we found where we had missed it said, "Oh Well". The grand kids love the set and our 2 year old grand daughter has already figured out how to climb the rock wall. A great buy for the money.

It did take a while to put it together and it was frustrating looking through all the boards to find them all since they are not banded together according to board # they are all just in random boxes. That part takes a while. But now it is all finished and my 3 year old son loves it. So that is all that matters. Fast shipping and all the parts where in 4 boxes.

This play set is so great! It's huge, the fort is tall enough for an adult to stand up in, and the picnic table underneath is a great feature. Our 4 year old loves this so much. It did take quite a while to put together, including the time it took to unpack all of the boxes and organize the pieces. But no parts were missing, and we had a lot of hardware left over, despite some of the screws and bolts being defective. It took my husband and father in law, both very competent, 2 full days and another afternoon to complete.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this one because I have two older kids and one younger. I thought the older kids might like the clubhouse feel it has, since we don’t have any trees for a tree house. It’s been fun for everyone to own this. It’s big, it’s safe, it’s sturdy. I’d highly recommend this set to anyone. We paid for it to be installed and it was done in one afternoon by two people. We have had no issues with any rough spots or weak pieces. We love it!

Great little play area. The kids love it and the quality seems great. The design did not overlook a single detail to have a great looking and functional structure. The instructions said two moderately skilled adult 36 hours. It took us four full days to complete the assembly. Most of the pieces were well marked and matched up with the detailed instructions, but there were a few spots in the instructions that were not clear. For the most part, it was pretty good for assembly.

This is a beautiful playset once assembled, We did initially go through and check off all the wooden pieces and sorted them into piles according to their letter, we had it laid out all on the garage floor, so we couldn't park in their for quite some time, as our yard was to flooded for the longest time to be able to actually begin building. my husband worked on this for 5 days, totalling about 32 hrs, with at least 20 of those hours being with one other guy, and he still has the finishing touches of all the handles to put on. He said it was alot of work, and was thinking at times that $500 seemed pretty appealing to have someone else do it, the only reason I docked this one star, was because I do agree that the swing arm could be 6 inches longer or so to give a little more room in between swings, but really not a big deal, For the amount of stuff you get on this swingset its a great deal, and the crowns nest lookout tower, is really cool. We were not missing any parts, however, my husband came up short on washers, and 2 1/2 in hex screws, he said they came with enough, but the problem is, is they can strip out easily, so he did have to go to the hardware and buy more of those, but that was no big deal, and if it weren't for that he would have actually been able to cut off the last day of 2 hrs. But ran out after hardware stores closed on a sunday, so had to wait.

A great value! We purchased this almost 2 years ago and we love this set. It is definitely a set that can grow with the children because of all the different types of play it offers. It has proven to be a hit with many kids at a time during playdates. It does take a weekend to assemble, but it’s well worth it. There were only a couple of pieces (1 board and 2 hardware pieces that were missing) and the company was easy to talk to and quickly shipped the parts. The only maintenance I do is annually spraying it with Thompson Seal!

We got this fort for our 3 young sons (ages, 3,5&8), they love it and I like how it will grow them. The playfort is great for snacks and for a hideout and the crows nest allows them to see when Mom & Dad are on their way!! We had someone put it together and it was the best decision we ever made!
