This swing set is more than what we were expecting, it's very sturdy and kids are loving it! It took my husband (contractor) and my older kids (18,14,13) 8 hrs. to put together, holes for roof were not to size so we did have to pre drill for ease of installation. It was worth it!

This will be the best swing set we purchase! It is really heavy duty and includes wonderful features, like the double slide, platform which is constructed for higher weights, super-fast, long slides and safe add-on items. My son, part of the assembly team, ordered an identical swing set the day after we assembled this one. The only pitfall would be the lack of written directions (too much reliance on small pictures.) Inability to discern how to position the holes in parts caused too much studying of the pictures and 2-3 assemble, disassemble and change, reassemble patterns. Everything actually goes together perfectly , but 4 adults spent a grueling day assembling this monster! Packaging of hardware and labeling it gets an A+ Our swing set arrived in beat up, soaked cardboard boxes, but I feel this falls on the shipper.

Pros:Durable,Weather Resistant,Sturdy,Attractive Design Best Uses:Small Children,Group Play,Physical Activity,Older Children,Individual Play Describe Yourself:Grandparent Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. We wanted a nice swing set for our two year old granddaughter that she could grow into,wanted the fort, rope ladder, the whole bit, that would last as long as she needed it, as well as for future children. My son didn't want the upkeep of wood, and my husband didn't think the wood ones were worth the money they charge for a good strong one. My husband and sons are tradesman - plumber, HVAC tech, mechanic - so assembly was not difficult. Took about 6 hours total, finished under spotlight at 10:30 pm. They just followed the directions step by step. My granddaughter just loves it, loves to swing, also loves the helicopter. We're sure she will get many years out of it.

Excellent play set for all ages. Purchased this set for my 2 yr old for his birthday! It has so many areas for him to play on. All kids (and some adults) who come over love this play set. It is difficult to put together. Took 2 experienced adults 8 hours to put together completely. However, it was definitely worth the effort. Very sturdy play set, should last a long time. This should be the only play set we have to purchase.

Pros:Hours of Fun,Weather Resistant,Durable,Easy Assembly,Sturdy Best Uses:Small Children,Older Children,Physical Activity,Group Play,Individual Play Describe Yourself:Working Parent,First Time Parent Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Just built this over memorial weekend for my 4 year old busy son with my dad. My son was so estatic he keeps telling me he's having so much fun! But i didnt realized that it comes also with the other one that has reds and yellow (i got the green and earthtone) since i bought it from [...]. But hey my son doesn't mind!

We just completed installation of the playset. A few parts (a few bolts and nuts and two metal links) were missing. Sent an email to customer service overnight and followed up with a phone call the next day. They couldn't have been more responsive. The parts were delivered before noon the following day! The product is very solid and stable even with a good-sized 6th-grader swinging as high as he could. Our four-year old child with Down's Syndrome is already able to swing, climb onto the elevated platform by stair and rope ladder, and use the slide unassisted. Can't keep her off it. :-)

I thought assembling the playset will only take me at least 2 hours but I was wrong. It take me about 4 hours. I assemble the playset all by myself so maybe that it reason why it take longer than I expect. Once the playset it done, my daughter start to play on the playset. The only thing I would like to have to extra swing to replace the baby swing which my daughter doe not need to use.

I wanted a playset my granddaughters could enjoy for years to come! I didn’t want one they would outgrow . This playset exceeded my expectations! It is sturdy and made to last! Everyone enjoys it! Even this Grandma swings on the swings! My granddaughters play on this playset everyday! They love it! I would highly recommend this playset!!

We love our huge playset. It is a great way to keep the family active. We often have lots of neighbor children coming over and using it. It has been fun for our family most of the year long. Occasionally even in the snow our kids are sliding out there. We have had ours for 2 years and we love it.

Had this swing set for two years. We live in New Hampshire, so we have all kinds of weather. I can report that after two years, our swing set looks and functions the exact same as the day we got it! The quality is so good. Nothing has ever broken, rusted, faded, even moved at all! Very happy with this purchase and my kids will continue to use it daily.
