Great Playground but NOT easy to assemble. I had my husband (a masters electrician) my brother & his friend (both engineers) and my husbands brother (teenager but just there for the muscles) …. They started at 6pm on the 23rd and stopped at 11pm. Picked back up at 7am on the 24th and literally went straight through to the 25th at 5am. The best advice I could give (being the one who gave them this advice and helped organized when we started) would be to get a plastic table cloth and sticky notes and lay the table cloth out (preferably on a table but the grass works too) and organize all the bolts and screws in number order and use the stick notes to write the part number and then stick the bag of those parts on top. Also open all 5 boxes and lay all the pieces out in the yard and stack the pieces with their pairs and in sections. You’ll find you have like E01 E02 but magically M22 then E01 again as you’re open the box, so make an area of all the wood that starts with M and then you’ll have M01-M72 (I think 72 lol) and then make sure you don’t just do Letter areas but keep them in numerical order when you do each letter section. Otherwise enjoy the bonding experience putting it together and the excitement on your kids face when they see it

Im giving this a 5 star rating because my kids absolutely love this thing. The cedar its made from is decent material and lightweight, i will say if you are not somewhat familiar with construction, hire someone to out this together for you, i had help for putting the base together and did the rest myself, it took me a solid 2 days to get it completed and i have plenty of power tools and know how when it comes to construction. All that to say, it is very solid and for the most part the step by step instructions are spot on, the worst part was definitely the curvey slide, the predrilled holes dont all perfectly line up, i did a fair amount of cursing putting that thing together.

This set is very nice. But not for someone who now experience in assembly. There is many steps but if you are a decent handyman you should be able to get it done. About 10 -12 hours to assemble, sort, find correct bolts/screws for each step.

Great quality play set. Unpack and organize all the parts before you begin. Also recommend using star deck screws from the hardware store instead of their screws. Then recommend spraying it with a water seal to increase longevity.

Bought it for our granddaughter and 4 other young children in the family. I decided to put it together myself instead of paying the fee to have Sam's send someone out to build it. I highly recommend having both a drill and an impact driver for the task. The materials are high quality and the instructions are easy to follow. I used both the manual and the phone app in order to be able to see the orientation of the parts when installing each component and it makes a huge difference in avoiding installing a piece inverted or mirrored. The manual said to expect 2 people to take 23 hours to complete, but I finished in less than that timeframe by myself (& I'm in my 60's!). This is a great product and I expect it will provide hundreds of hours of enjoyment.

Pay a lot of attention to the instructions. spent a lot of time taking boards back a part because holes don’t line up. use clamps to hold things together until you are ready to fasten

Allow about 15-20 hours to complete. Need at least two people to complete. There are soooo many pieces. Pieces are marked but some are hard to see. Pretty happy with the outcome

Great playset, big and lots for the kids to do. DO NOT try and put it together yourself unless you have several friends and a week to do so! Pay someone to do it! Way too many bolts! The curved slide alone has over 130!

Product is very cool. Takes very long to put together yourself (BILT app estimates 23 hours with 2 people which is about right). Poor manufacturing processes - lots of pre-fab holes misaligned …which is a shame for such an expensive product.

Looks good in the picture but it’s not made very well at all. Swings are too close together, kids are bumping into each other while swinging, could easily cause an injury or fall. Main support beam should have been longer to separate the swings more. Wood is very thin, I’ll be very surprised if it lasts more than a few years. Hardware kit had a few unusable bolts because Torx head was properly formed and was missing a few items. Circular slide panels didn’t fit together well and caused a few places to crack when bolts were tightened, middle support was too long but this problem with easily solved by digging out under it a few inches.
