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.

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 :)

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.

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.

Playground set is really nice, it fit well in a tight backyard however a couple things to note. The BILT app is super helpful and makes building it yourself actually possible, but you have to be on top of part orientation 200%. Sometimes where it says “note hole orientation”, the app isn’t point to the correct holes that need noting. Make sure to look at each piece from all angles in the app and double check over and over again before attaching the pieces. Additionally, the pieces aren’t coated in any waterproofing. At all. And the wood is not cedar or redwood so it can’t handle rain. You have to waterproof it yourself. And when there’s hundreds of pieces it’s not a small task or feat. For the price, it should have been a higher quality wood. On the topic of quality, the screws and nails included are incredibly cheap and end up being stripped the moment you try to tighten it. Also, they don’t provide very many extra pieces so if you lose one, you have to order it from them and wait for it to come, or try and find an alternative at a hardware store. To be fair, we had a few pieces of the set that came warped or broken and customer service was excellent about sending replacements, no questions asked... but the replacements got lost via FedEx and took 3 weeks to come. If you’re planning on building this yourself, give yourself a few weeks. It works best if two people are building and a third person is managing, seeing what will happen next and collecting the parts for it so it’s ready to be built right away.

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!

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.

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

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.
