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 swing set is made with good quality materials but it is a beast to assemble yourself. It took 2-4 people about 20 hours total time to erect and we have the tools and experience of professional construction crew in the family. Can’t imagine the “average joe” dad trying to put this together.

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.

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.

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!

This is a really great play set! My son is absolutely in love with it along with all the neighbor kids from 3 to 9. Definitely worth the extra money. It does take lots, and lots of time to put together, so be prepared. It took us a total of 19 hours altogether. We’ve had it for a few week now, and one negative thing so far is that the steps to the ladder are already falling apart. We will end up having to replace a couple of those boards by the end of summer, unfortunately. Otherwise this has been a loved backyard toy so far.

I bought this playset for my two little boys. One is 2 years old and one is 7 months. Constructing it took a bit of time. It’s definitely a two person job at a minimum. My dad helped who is very familiar with building and construction. It took us around 30 hours to get it all together. Definitely a labor of love but so worth it. My 2 year old loves it. Loves the windows, the crows nest and the slides. I’m glad I bought this model so they can grow into it instead of having to replace it in a couple years for a bigger playset. The instructions are pretty good. It could use some minor changes to help those of us not as good with building and construction. Organization is definitely key to putting this together. Color coding the hardware bags would be super helpful. Customer service was great! We were missing the tube slide box from shipment. I called, they opened a ticket to find the box. They couldn’t and automatically shipped a new one. Shipping was very quick! Would recommend this playset! It’s worth the money!

If you're looking for a quality playset at a great price, look no further! Seriously, you will not find any pre-built sets that are better for the price that they charge. Their customer service to include their delivery personnel is excellent as well.

Looks amazing in our backyard! Kids love it and its become a centerpiece for many family gatherings where all of the cousins play. Only issues: We had to rip almost 1 slat in every wall because the wood either wasnt perfectly milled or expanded, thus if we needed to fit 10 slats for a wall, the 10th would not fit. Sometimes we had to take off 1/4 to 1/2" The plans in paper also differed slightly from the plans on the app - mainly in how many places we needed to anchor it down. It appears that we were missing a couple of the ground stakes (the twisting ones) but still, its VERY secure. Might email to get a few more of them but honestly, there would be no way to get them into the ground under the main structure without lifting it an they wanted us to do that last.

Great playset! Worked on it here and there over about a 2 week period. Had a second person help for certain sections (the roof, holding boards up etc) and my older daughter finding and handing me boards and bolts certainly sped things along. We did have to modify 3 boards by shaving off a very small sliver in order to fit (very tight floorboards). I did have to contact customer service and they were very helpful and the missing part was shipped promptly. I plan on adding an additional small board for the picnic table section as it is a bit wide and narrow and I'm concerned that over time it will start to bow. Overall a great playset I purchased this for my 3 1/2 year old and she can climb up the rock wall and use all the features without assistance.
