The skyfort is very sturdy and structurally stable. My daughter loves playing on it and looks forward to doing so after school. It was an time consuming process to build but bery well labeled and easy enough to follow. Notes are added to make things easier on the person building it. Having a second person would make it much easier and faster, plus it is recommended in the instructions. A latter would be recommend as well.

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.

Bought this for my granddaughters to enjoy at my house. It took my father (a retired engineer) & two of my three sons 3 full days to put this together. The granddaughters are thrilled!! I love that they love it. Suggestions from the guys: DEFINITELY download & print out the instructions (106 pages) plus another 32 for the twirly slide. They put them in a binder to make it easier to follow the directions. DO NOT take the wood out of the boxes, organize the pieces in each box instead (keeps things neater & the search easier) Leave the hardware organized in its packages (there is ALOT of hardware!!) They built the roofs on a flat surface then lifted the completed pieces to the top of the tower. Lots of clamps were very helpful in holding pieces in place while leveling or securing as needed. We are going to modify the base of the tower with one more board to make a deeper sandbox. Because there is much to be learned about life by making castles decorated with sticks & leaves for dinosaurs. I love that the girls love it & that the entire family had a part in it. Coming to Gigi’s is always supposed to a place where the love is unmatched & the fun is magical.

Overall the playset itself met most of our expectations. Delivery was as described and arrived in a timely manner. No parts were missing or broken which we were happy about. We’d paid for assembly, which ended up being a pain. It took over a week after delivery before we even received an estimated assembly date. Once we finally got a date, it was 4 weeks out. Then due to rain, that got pushed out another week. That was unacceptable for us, so we ended up cancelling the service and assembling ourselves. This took 3-4 full days with 2-3 people. My kids love it now that it’s finished. The tube slide is a big hit. My only complaint is the swings are closer together than anticipated. Close family have a similar set from this company and the swings are more spacious.

From my experience, pictures often look better than the product in person, but this was not the case with this playset. I can honestly say that the online pictures were a true representation of this product, actually even think it looked better in person. The assembly is time consuming, but for the most part the instructions were detailed and relatively easy to follow. It took 2 somewhat experienced handymen 2 full days to assemble the playset, and another 4 hours or so to assemble the tube slide. I would highly recommend taking the time in the beginning to sort the wood and hardware. Took us about 2-3 hours to do this, but was well worth the upfront effort. My kids love their new playset, as do many of the neighborhood children. This playset was half the price if not less than other similar items at other retailers. Too early to know how durable it is, but if it does in fact withstand the test of time, I would say that this was an awesome investment!

Bought for our daughters first birthday. Will take her a few years to grow into it. We will get a lot of years out of this. Good quality. Instructions are easy to follow. Must stay organized during building process. Shipping was as predicted. Minor cosmetic defects in a few pieces of wood, none of which effect structure. To be expected with quantity of wood this comes with.

This assembly is not for the faint of heart! I think there were 305 total steps. Assembly mentions 23 hours for 2 people to complete. Ours took 1 person about 28 hours. Instructions were very clear and the quality is great! We are very happy with our purchase.

decent quality. takes multiple days to put together. we weren’t missing any parts, however we find the swings to be very close together ,to the tower and can’t go very high so we will keep our other swings for this reason. kids love the slides and climbing wall. over all good price and purchase.

This play set is Amazon! My husband and I put it together over a few days. We had a couple pieces that needed replaced due to breaking in shipping, but we got them ordered and shipped in under a week! My only complaint on this set is there were a handful of pieces that the pre drilled holes didn’t line up no matter which way you turned the board. Also if there was a way they could differentiate too/bottom and front/back of parts, it would have saved multiple occasions of uninstalling multiple pieces over and over again.

The build ended up nice in the end but it’s a sun-up to sun-down multiple-day ordeal. Be ready to make adjustments to the instructions as there will be multiple instances where things will not fit and need to be modified. Charge up those drill batteries! There’s a great video on YouTube that helps you scope this project. Have fun :)
