My son loves it.

My son loves it. Great easy to follow instructions. I did it by myself so it’s doable with one person. Seems durable, but time will tell. Would recommend. All the pieces were in included and plenty of extra hardware.

Make sure you check your hardware!

13 of the hardware packets were missing. Had to call and get them 5 times as the first time they were sent they were all just thrown into 2 bags with no idea what they were.

Don't waste your money

Horrible. We have had it for 2years and the wood started chipping immediately and looks awful. The door sags in the corner so it won't shut right and gets stuck. So disappointing for the amount we paid.

Good purchase overall

Mentioning the pickett tool on the step it is needed would be helpful. Didnt realize it existed because it was in a box of parts we didnt need at that step and hadnt unpacked it. Also, would be nice to have some sort of railing or netting in the tower. My kid immediately tried to climb onto the roof from the tower section. Sinking in the augers was a pain. Would love to have recommendations to make that process easier. Overall, great playset. My kiddo absolutely loves it. Haven't been able to keep him off of it.

Great instructions

It took me and my body 14 hours straight to complete. The tip I have is don’t separate all of your pieces. Leave the pieces in the box with the parts list accessible in each box when the instructions call for a part, go to each box and look for that part and pull it out at the time you need it. The only thing I recommend separating is your hardware. The instructions are pretty straightforward. Everything was there. Nothing was missing. I would recommend staining the wood as it’s not gonna hold up in the winter. It’s very soft.

Tough to put together, but the kids love it!

Our kids love it so much and it’s really a good looking playground. Downfalls, it took my husband 4 days to build it because he basically had to do it by himself. It’s for sure a 2 person job. The wood is very soft so it’s easy to damage. The worst part was probably the fact that it came in 4 boxes (all of which were well over 100 lbs) and you had to open alll of them to get started and organize them before you can even start.

Great project

Once I started to separate all the pieces, I was over whelmed. Then I just started one page at a time. Had my son-in-law helping and it went good. There were also extra bolts and screws just incase you drop and loose one. The directions are perfect. All the holes line up. My granddaughter loves it, well worth the money. Now, here is the negative parts. I am missing the magnet part for the door to keep closed. Read carefully which washers to use. There are many, and i didn't pay attention and ran out of washers to fit at he end. Had a lot of little ones, but nit medium. My fault. Overall, this was a great project.

Amazing buy!

We love this set so much! It took me and my husband 3 hours to really prep everything (laying out all the wood, organizing the hardware and labeling it, hauling it all to our backyard). Then it took my husband and 2 neighbors 10 hours one day and then they finished up a second day with about 3 hours. They said directions were easy to follow and we didn't run into any issues. Nice to have someone who is handy helping to troubleshoot as you go! Our kids are obsessed. In my opinion it's the most “bang for your buck” because there's so many features that make it unique and it's huge! I wanted something lots of kids could come play on and it exceeds that expectation!

if first like to say it is a very pretty playground, with the slide, tu,el, mountain climb ing etc.... but for us we've had this item for like 7 months and the wood already has cracks in several places, and is now not so durable .I was hoping it would last us at least 3 yrs.
