Love it! Realistically it will take 21-25 hours to put together..seerste all screws on Table when starting..this will help a lot! Make sure you are reading the correct instruction book!! They have 2-3 in there!

I have a 4 year old and 1.5 year old. Both kids love this play set. Yes it takes a while to build, but it’s not too difficult. The tube slide took the most effort. You definitely need two people for that part.

Very nice swing set . Perfect for small children . I really like the little cafe beneath the club house . It has a little bench that sits outside ,so the children can order and have a seat. My granddaughter is enjoying it .

While we don't have it completely constructed, it is nearly done. It has been a slow process but so far, no missing parts and everything clearly labeled. I'm happy with the quality of the wood and hope that it will have longevity.

The tubular slide is coming apart after little use. We have small grandkids also. I ordered replacement parts and they aren't even the correct ones. Do not recommend.

Charleston Lodge Playset

We got this as a Christmas gift for the kids and all I have to say is it’s not worth the money. I know swing sets are expensive and this may be on the cheaper side compared to some but The swing set is not good quality at all. I wouldn’t recommend. Also it was so complicated to put together due to Slots that were supposed to have pre-drilled holes did not have any and we are missing the very bottom piece of the swirl slide. On top of that it seems like neither slide will last long. Could be wrong but I highly doubt it.

We bought this nearly 2.5 yrs ago for our 4 and 8 yr old. I paid to have it professionally assembled and I did modify it slightly to strengthen the swing area. But so far the set has held up great! I have no complaints and my kids use this swing-set all of the time. Best overall value out there in my opinion.

Buying this play set has been nothing short of a headache. We purchased this play set TWO MONTHS ago and are still unable to use it. It was first delivered to us damaged right off the truck. It took over a month to get the replacement piece after I hounded them by calling continuously. Mind you the piece that was damaged was the main frame for the entire house portion. We spent hundreds of dollars leveling and preparing our yard which took two full weekends to do. We finally started building the play set and got about 90% done only to find out the piece we received DOES NOT WORK!! The opening dimensions to insert the windows and doors are TOO SMALL! How is that not something that is quality checked prior to sending it out?! Neither company has been willing to make it right, we are told they will just send another replacement part. They want to us to completely disassemble the already built play set to replace the main frame that they sent faulty and rebuild it. That is NOT okay. That completely compromises the integrity of the structure before we ever got a chance to use it. Not to mention all the time undoing and redoing what was already done. Not happy with either company and do not recommend. Spare yourself the headache.

I was skeptical when I opened the boxes and saw all the thin pieces of wood. I was afraid it was going to be flimsy (even as I was building it), but once it is together it is very solid! I took advice from some of the other reviews and sorted all of the wood and hardware page by page. It took about 5 hours to sort it all, but saved SO much time when assembling. The tornado slide is very time consuming, but they did send separate hardware and directions that is supposedly easier than the previous directions and hardware. It came in 6 boxes (box 6 is the striaght slide), and none of it was in order. I had to hunt through boxes for boards and hardware for each page. My stepdad and I were able to assemble everything except the tornado slide in about 9 hours. The slide took an additional 4 or so hours. From sorting to finished product, it took about 18 hours. Overall, I recommend this swingset!
