Great play set! Lots of work to put it together. No missing parts one complaint was one of the beans was cracked and The wood is light. I'm please with the product.

It took my husband and I 3 1/2 days to put it together which was what we expected and the instructions were pretty good. A few things could have been a little clearer but overall it was good.

Takes for ever to assemble, but worth it... The kids love the fort and play on it every chance they get. The cedar smells great and helps keep the insects away.

We are very happy with our purchase. We hired an outside company to put it together and it took them about 10 hours non stop. My kids love their new playground, i would definitely recommend.

Good quality overall. Believe the time estimates to assemble. Tip… have someone prestige the pieces and have them ready at-hand for the assemblers. Four people working this way completed it in 14 hours.

Great playset! Worked on it here and there over about a 2 week period. Had a second person help for certain sections (the roof, holding boards up etc) and my older daughter finding and handing me boards and bolts certainly sped things along. We did have to modify 3 boards by shaving off a very small sliver in order to fit (very tight floorboards). I did have to contact customer service and they were very helpful and the missing part was shipped promptly. I plan on adding an additional small board for the picnic table section as it is a bit wide and narrow and I'm concerned that over time it will start to bow. Overall a great playset I purchased this for my 3 1/2 year old and she can climb up the rock wall and use all the features without assistance.

This Playset took a while to put together but my husband was very impressed with the detail of the instructions. He had no problems putting it together but you have to pay attention to the instructions. The tube slide was not hard to assemble but sometimes awkward and took him about 4 hours. The crows nest is tight to get into but our 6 year old granddaughter loves it.

while the construction is doable for novices willing to spend 4 eight hour days putting it together, it is extremely difficult. every screw, bracket, and piece of wood was supplied. nothing was missing, which was really great as we had read many reviews where people had to wait for delivery of missing parts. we are conscientious and able to follow complex diagrams but found several mysterious instances of holes not lining up - until we realized that despite our attention to all details we had installed a piece in the wrong orientation. this resulted in several frustrating episodes of deconstruction of a segment just to switch a piece from up to down or side to side. additionally, there are several areas where the instructions did not inform to leave spaces between wood slats on the platforms, so we ended up with a larger gap at one end. while the product is made of cedar, it is of poor quality. the wood splints easily and pieces could easily be snapped in half if your not careful. even while being extremely careful to line things up correctly, many times the screws split the wood. the color chips off easily and i can't imagine how long the finish is going to last with the usual use the playground is expected to have. all the above being said, at this point i would still say it is worth getting. when weighing what we're capable of building ourselves, calculating the cost, time, and concern that whatever i build should be child safe (the kids play under the playground, too!) this purchase from Sam's Club was a great deal and we are happy we bought it.

I bought this playset for my two little boys. One is 2 years old and one is 7 months. Constructing it took a bit of time. It’s definitely a two person job at a minimum. My dad helped who is very familiar with building and construction. It took us around 30 hours to get it all together. Definitely a labor of love but so worth it. My 2 year old loves it. Loves the windows, the crows nest and the slides. I’m glad I bought this model so they can grow into it instead of having to replace it in a couple years for a bigger playset. The instructions are pretty good. It could use some minor changes to help those of us not as good with building and construction. Organization is definitely key to putting this together. Color coding the hardware bags would be super helpful. Customer service was great! We were missing the tube slide box from shipment. I called, they opened a ticket to find the box. They couldn’t and automatically shipped a new one. Shipping was very quick! Would recommend this playset! It’s worth the money!

The swing set is made with good quality materials but it is a beast to assemble yourself. It took 2-4 people about 20 hours total time to erect and we have the tools and experience of professional construction crew in the family. Can’t imagine the “average joe” dad trying to put this together.
