Good quality at a very reasonable price for this playset. The instructions were really easy to follow using the video guided app. We’ve had the playset for over a year and it still looks like the day we bought it. Hint: I did apply a coat of UV protectant waterproofing sealant. I edited this playset to last a very long time.

I bought this prior to the quarantine for my kids and it has been an awesome purchase. Ended up assembling myself over the span of a week (not recommended, you really need an extra hand for holding/lifting, etc), and had to improvise in some areas where the screws just spun, wood was slightly warped, etc. The wavy slide is a bear to put together because you have to bend the plastic sheet into the side brace thst creates the bumps, which took me FOREVER (may be easier with 2 people, but still difficult). Also you have to coat this set with a waterproof sealer every year or risk voiding your warranty. Do this on the assembled pieces BEFORE you assemble the entire structure, especially the roof (it'll be 12 ft in the air and super difficult to do after). I used Thompson's Water Seal clear (no stain). It's oil based. The instructions also mention to organize all of your wood by alphanumeric (M27, H5, etc) but for each section that you build, the wood can be in anyone of 4 large boxes, so unless you plan to knock it out in 2 days, I don't recommend taking all the wood out and sorting as putting them back in the boxes is almost impossible. Each box has a list of which pieces are in each box, so just have the boxes laying side by side, and use the lists when you need to find a piece of wood. Makes it 100% easier. Also be sure to keep your fasteners in their respective bags. There are a ton and you will mix them up. Only slight complaint is there were several fasteners brand new in a package that were not used for this project at all. Made me search through the manual like 35 times to be sure I didn't miss them. Make sure you're putting this on a flat surface. I had to cut the rock wall legs a little shorter to fit my yard but you may have to grade some areas like I did for them to be safe and level. Don't let any of what I'm saying deter you, I'm just putting out there all that I went through in the process. This is a really good set and my 3 year old and 18 month old love it. They're able to climb up the ladder easily and safely, although just be sure to watch them near the rock wall entrance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for our grandsons 2nd birthday. We had to pay someone else to assemble because we’re not handy. After it was installed my 2 year old loves it and plays on it constantly. It’s definitely a set that he’ll grow with.

Built 90% alone, needed help on other parts. One of the main wood came cracked, other smaller ones also cracked. Needed to order the parts which I didn’t end up using since it takes 2 weeks for it to arrive. Drilled new holes to make parts fit (not my mistake, holes just do not line up). I needed to anchor some parts like the walls from the bottom, but after I drilled, the T-nut wouldn’t fit because of the frame that was installed prior (happened on 2 areas). Was installing the swing and the wooden panel that it screws on to was in an awkward position and cracked one of the panels. Overall OK, but not worth $2000 after shipping. I wouldn’t pay over $1000 for this. Kids love it tho.

For the price I just expected things to be better quality. The straight slide is a thin piece of plastic held up by a couple bars underneath and the two sides of the slide. Very cheap feeling. The tube slide is also very very thin material. Wood also seems just cheap and started to crack in some places when screwing in screws. Overall I wouldn't purchase again.

Purchased the Skyfort III a couple weeks ago for our grandson. It was delivered within days and the Installers came this week to assemble it at their home. Now we cannot get a three-year-old out of it!! We're couldn't have picked a better swing/climb/slide/explore fort for him. He loves it. Worth every penny! And do yourself a favor and pay for the expert installation. The crew was fantastic and did a great job to assure it's safe for him to use.

It took me about 10 days on my own, about 3 hours a day. For me it was like a big lego set. I was very impressed with the level of detail involved. The wood is lightweight but it’s meant for kids. My kids have played on it non stop for 3 weeks now. Not including while I was building it. Well worth the money. Neighbors have been eyeing it, it’s better than our community playground.

This is a very nice play set! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Our kids (4 & 2) are loving it! My biggest suggestions are: 1) Use the BILT app!! It provides 3D images and directions that help tremendously. 2) Organization is key before you begin! Lay all the boards out in order and same for the bolts, screws, etc. This saves a lot of time. 3) Recruit a friend or two. I was able to build over 50% of it alone but the base of the fort, roof, swing beam, and tube slide require additional assistance. 4) Build the tube slide once it’s attached to the play set. I read a review where someone tackled the tube slide this way and it seemed easier. The tube slide is a PAIN! My husband almost threw in the towel at bolt #100! All in all, it’s a great set. Holes lined up well and we did not have any pieces of wood that were damaged. The wood will splinter/crack if you are not careful though. Good luck!! It’s worth the sweat, blood, and curse words. :)

We bought this Skyfort as a Christmas present for my two little kiddos. We have already had neighbor kids come over and play and they all LOVE IT! we normally would have to drive to the park, but no more! It definitely can be assembled at home if you are confident in your building capabilities (my husband assembled ours) and save you some money but give yourselves a few days to do so!

Bought this playset about 3 months ago. Put it together ourselves over Memorial Day weekend. It really wasn’t that bad to put together. It just took us about 3 full days to fully assemble and it has been a great addition to our backyard! All the neighbor kids love to come over and play on it! It is a huge hit with my 3 year old as well!
