Good design for ease of assembly, but cheap wood.

The kids are quite happy with the endeavor II playset, and it's fairly easy to assemble with the instructions provided. No parts were missing/damaged beyond use on arrival. The biggest criticism is that most of the wood (thinner boards) seem to be fairly cheap quality. Many of them came warped, or immediately started to split when securing them with the screws at the appropriate depth (using the provided guided Phillips bit). Also, the floor of the fort doesn't seem sturdy enough as the boards are bending significantly with only a 35lb child walking on them; they'll likely need to be reinforced. Maybe I'll be proved wrong if the set lasts several years with annual sealing, but right now I'm doubtful.

Two Grandparents

We recently purchased the Endeavor II for our granddaughter, a birthday present. We opted to save some money and put it together ourselves, since we are kind of handy. Spent a Saturday and Sunday, about 10 hours in total. The directions were easy and comprehensive. It's very well made and we were impressed. She loves it-

Durable and Huge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the largest set my grandkids have ever played one and they had a blast! So many activities to choose from and kept them busy playing. As a grandmother it was prefect to have and great purchase choice!

Best Investment

Everything was great and glad I had the BILT App to reference. Quality overall looks awesome but the wood did split in a few places. Took me 2 1/4 days, about 5-6 hrs per day. I only had help about 6 of those hours. Super helpful to lay everything out and label before you get started.

Sturdy & well made

I bought this set after MUCH deliberation over the many sets that are out there. I have a two year old & a seven year old and wanted something that would work for both. I also wanted something with a larger "deck" area as most seem to be big enough to just pass through & my older child likes to build forts. This set seems to work well for both kids so far- it's only been up about a month. My husband built it on his own but it did take about three full days (and in 95-degree heat- bless him). Overall it seems quite sturdy & well made. Hoping we get many years of enjoyment out of it!

Great quality!

Just assembled this for our 9 and 4 year old this past weekend. This set is great quality and went together pretty easy. I like that it's bigger for my 9 year old and she can stand up in the fort with plenty of room, but still accessible for my 4 year old to climb and play on. Would highly recommend this set!

Quality and the kids love

We bought this a month ago and chose it based off of price, quality, and the fact that its colors are aesthetically pleasing compared to most others. I'm a handy guy with a construction background, and was able to put it together in one weekend by myself. The only gripe I had was with the shipping company, I wasn't given a call the day of delivery like I was told I would, and they dropped it in the worst place on my driveway. Regardless, still super pleased with our choice, and so are our kids (ages 2 & 4).

Great for the entire family!

I bought this last month for my kids (6 years old and 2.5 years old) and they LOVE IT! While some of the features are a little more advanced - but definitely feasible - for the two-year-old, we chose the structure because they could grow into it and our six-year-old loves to climb. Staining it took a little bit of time before building it, but it wasn’t hard at all. Putting it together is time-consuming, but incredibly simple when you follow the instructions (my husband and I leveled the ground by hand and put it together in a day with multiple breaks and interruptions from the kids. The only feature I’m disappointed by is that the circular hammock swing that hangs under the main structure has very sharp nylon tied knots that hold it together around the entire frame and has cut me and my kids a number of times already while swinging or pushing each other (hence, reason for 4 stars). I’m going to look for either a cover for the outside or a different swing to install there. Otherwise, we have absolutely no complaints. It is a great structure to have for the kids, and we have already spent countless hours on it as a family! I was pushing my kids on the swings the other day and my husband, who was working from home that day, brought his computer out and worked the last hour in the “club house” area so we could all hang together. The weight limits are high enough that we can all be on there and have no concerns about structural integrity, and there are enough fun aspects that my kids are always finding new ways to entertain themselves (and each other). Definitely recommend it!

Perfect for a Range of Ages!

We bought this when our son was 2.5 years old. He was able to swing and climb the ladder to go down the slide. He loved it and will continually grow into it. The different swings are a hit as well. There are a lot of pieces to construct but the instruction manual was incredibly helpful. The digital manual was confusing and clunky, so I just went with the hard copy.

Daughter loves this

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect sized swing set. My daughter is 6 and we got this for her for her birthday. She loves it. Took a full day of labor and had a couple sets of hands for assembly. The virtual instructions on the app was easy to use. It doesn’t take up too much room and isn’t an eye sore. Would definitely recommend.
