Very sturdy

Excellent!!

The kids love it!

The craftsman ship is great and it is nice and sturdy. With that being said, the instruction manual appears to have been written by a 5 year old. They actually send a generic instruction manual that applies to all of these sets, and then depending on what specific model you purchase, you need to modify it. But they put the actual instruction manual that you need in the tube slide box, so you don't see this until you get 2/3rds done. I spent 18 hours putting this together by myself. I built the main house and got to the end and found a different manual, so i had to take half of the main structure apart and re-do it. The tube slide and mounting hardware to stablize the slide do work like shown so i actually had to modify my hardware to get it to work. My set was also missing the hardware to attach the top peak on top of the main house. I think there were also a total of 6-8 bolts that came in as blanks and not threaded at all, so i had to go find some to make it work. If you can get through all the pain of putting this together, it is well worth it. But it is a really poorly written manual.

Missing hardware and instructions, split lumber...frustrating!!!

Just finished putting this together this past weekend to surprise my daughter on Christmas morning 2018. A friend and me put it together over 3 days and overall it was easy to assemble. It is involved but I think that is what makes it such a well designed and assembled product. The construction and assembly does not cut corners. Be patient with it and def plan on 3 days assembly time. You will need a buddy to help. Organize the parts and keep parts in the bags until you need them. All the hardware is marked and easy to identify. Wood was not warped or cut wrong. Everything fit well. The tube slide was a different story. That took us a whole day to assemble. The flange on each tube does not line up well and you have to really force it together. We would get one hoop side on and just push screwdrivers through the holes to hold it there until we could get the other hoop on and then connect both ends of the hoops with a long bolt. As we drew the hoops together it lined up the holes so we could put the bolts and lock nuts on. It was not easy!

I bought this for my kids and it was a nightmare to put together. We followed instructions and even hired a professional to help. A few months later the tube slide has now come all apart and I need a full replacement. All the rings are popping off and it's no longer safe to use. Would love for someone to contact me as this is really unacceptable.

We bought this for a local outdoors club, and it didn't last one (1) season. Let me start with the fact that it is made of the cheapest and lightest wood possible. The "instructions" were horrible at best. After 8 hours of 6 guys working to put this together and having to go for more hardware. It was finally up. The first weekend, the plastic slide ripped through the screws holding it on. The next weekend, the tube slide literally broke in half with a small child inside it. The canopy/roof ripped off with a slight wind. $1500 thrown away. Do yourself a favor, and don't waste your money on this piece of garbage.

We’ve had this playset for seven years. Kid craft was really good about helping us find replacement parts for the twisty slide and as we are selling it now they have two more that need to be replaced. Other than that it has survived neighborhood kids for 7 years!

We are almost done with the build! It is going smoothly. The only issue was the set came with 3 different instruction manuals. Unfortunately we started with the wrong one and had the main club house almost completed when we had to take it apart and start again. Make sure you open all the boxes and find the instruction manual that specifically mentions the set you bought. Otherwise the build has been a breeze.
