We decided to get this for our 11, 8, and 4 year old. This swing set is very strong and big for older kids. Our 4 year old has no problem swinging on the swings. Its challenging enough for our older kids to play on for years to come. The monkey bars are pretty high as well as the slide. An adult has no problem using this set as well. Overall extremely pleased with the quality and the ease of set up. It took my husband about 7 hours or so to set it up with minimal help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, this set has already been fun for our boys ages 8-16. Boxes are large so be sure to have a truck and man power to transport. Upon ordering our set, we were provided with a youtube video, however we found we did not need the video because the instruction manual was perfect and parts were labeled correctly and set up went smoothly. We were able to get our Monkey bar adventure set up in less than 5 hours, you do need 2 people as there is some lifting involved while trying to get the pieces secured together. It is a heavy duty set and we're hopeful it will last us for quite a while. The only issues we ran into were the bolt/nuts that hold the set together were at times difficult to get to line up when under a load, so again 2 people are best. Also, there are a few black plastic plugs that fill in some holes that as we were moving parts they fell out and we were unable to find them, we will need to keep an eye on those holes to avoid wasps from making nests. Lastly, again my boys are ages 8-16 and when swinging on the swings, the legs do lift a little, not enough to make me fear the set toppling over (it's very heavy) but enough that we might add straps to secure it down to ensure it doesn't move. Overall the pros to this set out-weigh the few cons we've had so far and we are excited the weather is starting to warm up so we can get out there and use it more!!

My husband and I purchased and set up this playground set, with intermittent help from our younger daughter. for our 5 year old granddaughter (gd). It took about 1 entire day, mind you, the "feels like" temperature was 100. We had beem excitedly awaiting the arrival, but not as excited as our gd. It arrived about about a week earlier than its original delivery date. The "assembly instructions" video was very helpful and my husband followed them precisely. It looked just like the one advertised, except, we were expecting one with the earthtone color. I don't remember choosing the multi-colored one, which is the other option. The first to try the swings, was our gd, of course. Then my daughter (her mom) and i joined her on the swings. The first thing I noticed, was that the swings were swinging to close together and i was afraid we were going to hit each other. So we removed the middle swing. It was disappointing, but safer. The length was about right, but then i noticed that we wouldn't be able to adjust the chains if we wanted or needed to. The chains have a silicone cast. On to the trapeze/gym bar. That was one of the attachments my gd was looking forward to. Too bad she wasn't tall enough to swing her legs over the way she was looking forward to since she had seen children doing on the promotional video. The fireman's pole was kind of hard for her reach since the ladder is kind of set in an inconvenient way. Then there's the slide. As you get to the slide from the monkey bar, or climb the ladder, there's a bar at the top that my gd hit her head on. She wanted to try the monkey bars. She was afraid to, and asked me to hold her while she let her feet off the ladder. I did, and she fell, (dead weight), almost hitting her head on the leg of the swing set. I guess this swing set is better for older, more experienced kids like it shows on the promotional video. The swings are only real safe attachment where my gd doesn't need constant supervision, which im not able to provide. My daughter, the mom, has 2 herniated discs and the dad just had surgery on a completely torn minuscus. Both are receiving therapy, so they won't be able to assist my gd anytime soon. I'm considering returning the playground set, but my husband already discarded all the packaging that it came in, not to mention, disassembling the playground. At $1400, w/tax, i hope we can get something worked out. I wouldn't mind keeping the swing side. We assembled the set yesterday, Saturday, and i tried calling the seller/manufacturer number, but they were closed.
