Great playset

Assembly was simple enough, instructions were clear. Took about 12 hours total to complete with 2 people working on it. Some of the bolts didn’t thread the greatest, this is my only negative comment on the playset, which made it difficult at times during assembly. Kids love it! I would recommend it to anyone.

Great Design

I bought the castle play-set a few months ago and my kids absolutely love it, especially the tunnel slide. I do have one recommendation, the support on the slide is not sturdy enough the slide wobbles and moves a good amount, while my children are sliding down. Maybe in the future put 2 support bars under the slide, one on the lower end and another at the top end.

Great product - long installation

Great product, took me and two buddies 12 hours to out this thing together and clean up the yard. Expect it to be a pain to install and take time. May be worth having someone else install it if you have the money, if not just make sure the kids are patient and plan for assembly. Kids love it.

Buyer Beware, a real review

I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t get a discount in exchange for a good review, the amount of 5 star reviews is mind blowing. This is pretty expensive and took forever to build which would be fine if it was good quality but good quality this is not. First, this takes way longer to build than it should because most of the holes don’t line up. And because of that the legs for the castle and the swing are crooked, rendering an already very unstable platform even more unstable. We built this on level ground, got everything as tight as can be, and this thing shakes and sways worse than a boat at sea which I guess fits the fact that my son refers to this now giant paperweight, yard decor as the pirate ship. It was a great core workout standing on it trying to install the roof because any little movement sent this thing wobbling. Do I think this thing is going to tip over with my timid 3 year old on it, probably not, but with a couple less timid five year olds with a basic understanding of physics, I think they could get it done. My kid and even some of his older friends want nothing to do with this because it feels unstable. I just don’t think anyone makes quality products anymore. For the price this should be much better but really I just want a functioning swing set for my kids so I would have paid more if it meant it would actually work. In the end the only thing this will do is make us look like we are good parents. At least our heart was in the right place of wanting to get something fun for our kids…which makes us prime targets for companies like these to rip us off, haha. Live in and learn or learn from this review and reconsider dropping 2k on this.

Wonderful Playset

My daughters love the play set. My only concern is that the slide may break due to overtime use. We have had plastic tube slides in the past and they did not hold up. Hoping this one does better. It’s strong and durable. It even withstood strong straight line winds during a storm.

Great Swing Set!

Was fairly easy to put together. Says 10 hours but it took us a total of 4 separate days and 14hrs. The slide and panels were the most frustrating but my husband and I put it together easily with just the two of us! I will say we live in west Texas and after having it up for 2 weeks, we had a wind storm with gusts over 80MPH and with the anchors provided and one additional anchor for extra measure it held up AMAZING!!!

Kids love it!

I bought this for my 2 younger kids they love it!! The only thing that we didn’t like was having to drill out the holes… we had to make them bigger then what was required.. there are some parts of the instructions that could of been more clear but over all we did it and our kids love it

Overall great product

My son has loved it so far, well built sturdy and looks good, only complaint was during the build working the bolts to the nuts through some of the hole set ups can get very frustrating and when you do the feet make sure you use the right ones in the right place, 2 will fit all the feet but 2 feet will only fit those two

WAS AN AMAZING PRODUCT

i bought this product and my son has loved every minute on it. he can't stop playing on it. i will say this is definitely at least a two-man job putting together, but 3 people would be better. directions were good. i like how well it is put together. seems pretty solid.

Would not recommend

I swapped a wooden playground for this one and I'm having buyer's remorse. The pieces have to be put together so precisely otherwise when you get to steps down the road you will be dropping f bombs like no tomorrow. For example the deck panels, we over tightened the posts and it cause them to pop out in which the deck panels had to bow out around in order to fit them. The bolts strip SO EASILY. The images in the instructions are not as helpful as you would hope and the video does a few steps backwards from the paper instructions. Obviously the video makes assembly look very smooth. Aside from assembly, it is a spider and earwigs dream.. they will make a home in every crevise of the artificial wood/rock panels. I also noticed the trapeze bar is very short, my 5 year old cannot reach it and it gets so stinken hot in the summer, for that reason alone I should have stuck with the material being wood. Please take my advice, although it looks so clean and nice in the store, it really isn't the bee's knees!
