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.

Bought for 2 toddlers. Great investment! Assembled solo in about 40 total hours; two people would have been a big help, but not completely necessary. I am 210 lbs, and all components hold me easily, except for the climbing wall. Unaffected by couple of high winds so far. Highly recommend water seal treatment; stain does wear through very quickly.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my swingset almost a year ago now. Has held up great out in the weather. My only wish was that the "swings section" was a little more spaced out and a little higher off the ground. My kid is only 3 and her feet are kicking the ground already. I can raise the seat up but since the whole thing is rather low it makes for a pretty short pendulum. I would also spring to have someone else build it..... took 3 guys with construction backgrounds just about the whole weekend to build

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.

Great price and it was easy to build solo. As others said, layout all pieces and screws. Then read the directions a couple times. After that, its super easy for most people. My kids and friends have had many hours of fun on it. Cant wait for many years of play.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love it. The price for what you get is hard to beat. I would have liked an option for a better hardware pack i.e. ceramic coated screws, stainless steel bolts, etc. There were also a few steps where the step order could've been improved for to save on build time. The directions could have also been optimized to cluster the two person steps at the beginning. The only thing I didn't like was the use of 1" thick lumber used for structural support - I would've much preferred 2" thick. To save on time, I labeled all the parts (lumber and hardware) with painters tape (so the part numbers were easy to read) and sorted alphabetically. This saved a ton of time.

the directions say "plan one day for sorting pieces" the box placement for each pieces is ridiculous... for example, i needed 10 m75. there were two in one box, three on one box, and five in another box. Having to sort through these pieces was a nightmare. the directions leave a lot to be desired. Luckily, I have enough sense to know how to interpret the nonsense. My experience with the ignorant packing ruined my opinion of this set. Dont pack these boxes this stupid. the set is nice and sturdy.

This was actually purchased for our church, and the kids love it! Ours range from under 4 to about 16, and while the older kids don't use it as much, they do help the younger kids engage with the playset (pushing them on swings, helping them climb, etc.). We are very happy with this purchase.

We've had this set for a year. To be perfectly honest, putting everything together was a long process. All the pieces were scattered throughout 4 boxes, so we had to sort everything; and then we decided to seal each piece before putting it all together. However, it was totally worth the effort! The play set looks great. The kids love playing on it and are out there every day that they can. They even ask to eat lunch out there. Definitely worth the time, effort and cost!
