I bought this set a few weeks ago after avoiding it for a few years. I am very happy we purchased this set. The instructions were very good and the app they recommended using to view instructions was great. This has enough spare hardware in case you lose one. I had a piece missing and one that had a crack it it. I contacted the 800 number as shown in the instructions and had my pieces delivered in a few days. I took the work on it for a few hours a day approach so I wouldn’t get irritated building it. This was a good approach rather than try and cram it into a weekend and get stressed over it.

Very sturdy, clear instructions, kids love it, and looks beautiful. The directions stated it would take 23 hrs for two people to put it together - I did it by myself and it took me 30 hrs. Though it would’ve been much easier with a second person ;) just a note - don’t tighten the bolts too tight or it will start to splinter.

Fantastic playset with clear instructions and a fantastic app to walk you through. Also includes plenty of spare hardware in case you lose anything. My 6 year old loves it, although I'm a not sure how long before he will be too big for it. With 2 people it was about a 25 hour build using power tools for the screws and bolts.

I read many mixed reviews about assembly when I bought this play set, for that reason I wanted to come back and note that assembly took about 30 hours for my dad. He does repair and DIY work on his own homes but he's never worked in construction or a similar trade. He enjoys wood work so no complaints from him during assembly. Others reported 50 man hours needing to hire a professional to assemble the set so just FYI that wasn't necessary for us. As far as quality goes, I wish it was a little more durable. It leans and creaks with just one kid swinging on it and the pieces that fence in the crows nest and sandbox platform are easy to knock off. I would expect this after a year or 2 with wear and tear but all of these things started happening within 30 days of putting it up. It's still standing and will be used for many years so not a complete bust BUT if I could do it all over, I'd skip this purchase.

This swing set looks incredible but the set up took a long time. My husband and I worked on it for four days. The instructions say it takes two people, 23 hours. I would say that is pretty accurate. We also had our three young children “helping”. The app instructions were incredible because the paper directions don’t tell you step by step how to put it together. It helps to be organized. As for the stakes at the very end make sure your ground is wet before you attempt to drill them in. Our girls love this play set and I would recommend more than two people putting it together to speed up the process.

Ok, so I thoroughly read the reviews and was plenty prepared to work on it for a while. Yes the wood splits terribly, yes it takes FOREVER!!! So I got it on Saturday afternoon, worked on it until dark, then from 10am Sunday til dark, Monday from 8am until 4pm, then 7pm until dark, Wednesday from 5pm until dark and the only thing left is to finish anchoring it to the ground. Some parts did not line up right so there were gaps. The directions were fairly simple to follow except when telling you to "note hole locations" then never specified which way those holes were supposed to face, so there were a couple boards we had to turn around. Some of the holes didn't line up so we ended up drilling our own holes. We used wood filler to fill the splits in the wood for now but I'm going to just have to replace it eventually. Its wise to lay everything out because some of the numbers on the wood are impossible to read. Tried to upload photos, but that function seems to be broken right now

Great playset, although good luck not losing at least a couple books and/ or getting all stakes in the Oklahoma ground

I jus finish putting this up for my lil guy.he absolutely loves it,the crows nest is very unique and he happy to be up so high,highly recommend
