Good features, needs better structure

We bought this set around late November of last year. The assembly was challenging but expected after reading other reviews. The disappointment we have run into is just how unstable this set feels. Most pieces have been thinned to the extreme and a lot of the larger support pieces are already heavily split. We have a two year old. Just swinging her in the middle slot is enough to see the main structure starting to torque. I’ve had to tell the neighbors 8 year old to come down from it after the structure was visibly moving while they were shifting around in the second story. This set simply needs either more, better placed, or stronger supports to stiffen the structure. We have already double checked all of the fasteners and bolts and screws to ensure everything was properly tightened and assembled. It’s unfortunate because the kiddo really does love the set. It is just nerve wracking every time she wants to play in it and her little 20 something pounds is enough to cause some shifts.

Terribly sorry to hear of the concerns you've relayed but greatly appreciate you taking the time in writing about said concerns. This is not what we would expect of our units and would love to help try to clear this up for you. If you would like to contact our customer service department, we can get replacement parts under warranty sent your way. There shouldn't be this much shifting in the set and we'd like to rectify the issue however possible.

Too pricey to have to assemble myself!

Way too hard to put together, there should of been an option for delivery and assembly.

I am so sorry to hear that! We are here 7 days a week 8am-6pm CT to answer any assembly questions you may be stuck on. We have temporarily removed the option to add assembly at the time of purchase to give the third party installation company, Go-Configure, a chance to catch up. You can contact the assembly company after the fact to purchase an assembly service if you like, but they may have to schedule you far out. You can reach them at 888-888-5424. They will have information on where they service as well as wait times. Here is some helpful information that they provided us with: https://media.backyarddiscovery.com/Expectations-for-a-successful-service-GCI.pdf

Nice but hard to build it.

Missing parts, very hard to put it all the parts together, if you don’t have any knowledge about carpentry don’t buy it. My children’s enjoy that.

Swing Set

This is a great swing set! My husband and our family helped put this together ourselves. It was not easy at all but definitely worth it! Take a few days to organize your things before getting started. You won’t regret it.

Awesome Swing Set for Great Price!

After looking at multiple websites and swing set options, we decided on the Skyfort III for our son's 2nd birthday. The price was reasonable and the quality is great. It did take a long time to set up but we made a weekend of it with my parents and made some good memories. The tunnel slide is a beast to assemble and has a ton of screws. It took forever! The rest of it was pretty straight forward and we came up with a great system to expedite the process. Our son loves the lookout and we're excited for him and his sister to have this for many years to come.

Adventure Time

Talk about a product that will keep your kids active and preoccupied for hours. There is so much to do on this set. My daughter is two years old and she has fun climbing the stairs and going down the winding slide. She liked to climb to the little tower and using the microscope. This is a product for all ages to enjoy.

Love It!

We bought this last summer and love it! It took us about 4 days to put together with only being able to work on it in the evenings. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The end product feels sturdy and well put together. The kids have loved the variety of slides, climbing things and swings! I can't wait until spring and warmer weather to get back out there again!

My kids (and I) love it!

I chose this playset because it seemed to be one of the best quality playsets for it's pricepoint - and it is! The instructions were impeccable and probably the most impressive part. The wood quality is good and it is sturdy. I am more than pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it!
