It said that it would take 2 people 10/12 hours to put together. It took us 5 people 3 days. Some of the directions were out of place. The slide and steps should be put in before the floor. Several of the bolts are t-nuts we’re stripped out and we didn’t have extra. Had to go buy some.

I’m currently going on 4 sessions of working on this set. the parts aren’t organized they come in 4 big boxes, the hardware comes in little bags that are poorly labeled so most of the time you’re guessing if you have the correct size screw. The quality of the wood is poor quality, extremely flexible which causes some questions about the integrity of the flooring. im sure it will look nice once I finish the last few steps. My son loves it but as a father I am sceptical. I will Probably end up adding wood to sturdy the structures and swing beam. And to add the instruction book can be very confusing at times. If I was the company I would review it and make it a little less confusing. Found myself going back 3-4 steps and redoing a step because another part wouldn’t fit the way they were originally

My little girl loves this playset, however, I would recommend anyone buying this; go ahead and pay the professionals to install it. It took four of us a total of 15 hours to assemble it. That's 60 man hours! The instructions are great, but there are 160 pages!

Shipping: Sam's gave me a bad tracking number to track my freight delivery that required special instructions. I had to spend an hour on the phone with ESTES to correct the problem myself, since Sams' Customer Service was useless. I'm a little mad because the price is now $500 cheaper than when I bought it. The set is made from fairly cheap wood, I am honestly a little concerned for the integrity but time will tell. I had to go get a few different pieces of lumber to mend pieces that split because of bad prefab or just didn't align due to the pre-drilled holes being misaligned.

This swing set was purchased for my 2 granddaughter. The swing set is relatively easy to assemble however lots of holes needed drilled and directions make it more confusing then need be and they are not clear as they are pictures and sometimes image is reversed. Definitely a three man two or three day job!! We got it on sale!! Excellent set for the price!! I would recommend it but be prepared for a long assembly process!!!

Excellent i did have a lot of parts a lot but was easy to put together the swings came on time. It’s well worth the price was shopping around for awhile and Sams club was by far the pest price around for that swing set my grandkids love it it’s so big they call it there park would recommend it to everyone it will scare you at first but my son in law but most of it together him self

This playset is amazing. It was fairly easy to build for someone who is handy. The only complaint is that the initial delivery date and the actual delivery date were nowhere near the same. I highly recommend that you account for 3-4 days for setup and that you have an extra set of hands.

Overall the set is great, the only major complaint is the quality controls over the hardware. Many of the "t-nuts" and "nut barrels" had too much coating on the threads which made it impossible to use without cleaning them out first. I was forced to use my thread dies to chase the threads and clean out the coating. When putting together pay close attention to pilot hole locations saves a lot of time during assembly.

We love the Malibu playset, and our grandkids love playing on it! It took my wife and me several days to complete its construction, including leveling the location and attention to detail. Instructions are usually clear, though occasionally challenging, with some steps very simple and some complex. With some hardware there is just enough, and there is also some hardware included in a packet that actually is intended for another playset model.

Great play set. Kids love it. be forewarned that putting the thing together is no small task. Parts lists are in each box. Would be nice if they were all in box 1 with the instructions. You will spend half of your time looking for parts and required hardware. If your play area is not dead flat (as in concrete) be prepared to do some digging to level it. A strong cordless drill is a must but 2 will save lots of time. If you give up easy stop now and hire someone to put it together. In fact if you can find someone in reasonable in your area to do it I recommend it. It is a very nice play set!
