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.

Grandkids and friends are having a great time. It is a fun little playset, the quality is alright - we had to make reinforcements and will take sealing the wood more than once a year to keep it decent. Also, if you have strong winds like we do, you'll need to make sure it is secure in the ground. The anchors provided won't hold up to our wind.

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 :)

This takes a lot longer to put together than it states. You spend 8+ hours sorting hundreds of pieces of wood before even putting anything together. We also have dozens on micro splinters (annoying to an adult, but unbearable to little kids). All in all, my son loves it, but i would go a different route next time

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.

It was intense to put together with about two full days with 4 adults and random evenings just two adults. Took about 2 1/2 weeks but it came out really great. I would just say to really pay attention to orientation of the boards. That definitely bit us later on.

The playset itself is awesome ! My 6 and 4 year olds absolutely love it. I’d say the swings area is kind of small, the swings are a bit close together. You definitely can’t have all 3 being used at once without danger of someone hitting the other. Also, delivery was Not As expected. Everything I read everywhere said delivery would need to be signed for - that they’d call to schedule delivery. None of that happened. It showed up on our driveway one day with zero notice and no signatures. Just letting others know this may happen, expire all other info stating otherwise. Also, we ordered with installation, but after nearly 3 weeks waiting for date of install (and zero information from the install company, desire daily attempts at reaching out), we cancelled due to lack of communication. So we hired a local installer who came out that week - took 2 ppl about 2 full days to complete. The twisty slide alone took 3 hours. I recommend hiring someone and not attempting this unless you’re a pro, or have all the necessary tools, and strength. Overall We love the new set, just wish the delivery & install process went more smoothly, esp for the price we paid!

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.

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.
