Overall Great Product

Great product, however, putting it together took about 12 hours. Screwing in the panels sucks, especially since they don’t drill out the holes for you. That is one thing I wish could have been different. Other than that, pretty easy assembly. Just a lot of pieces involved.

Awesome

I bought this for my 5 year old son, he absolutely loves it. The minute he seen it, he ran to it. It takes a while to put it together but that because I did most of it myself. You definitely need help to do a couple things. The instructions are detailed to make it easy. Plus there is a video on YouTube.

Love this product

It look all weekend to put together but my three kids love it. Its very sturdy seem like it will last for years. You do have to pre drill a bunch of hole other than that it went pretty smoothly with assembly. Definitely at least a two person job though especially with putting up the slide

High quality playset with great features and reasonable price.

Bought for 3 grandkids that live in the country with no nearby playground. Ships in very larger heavy crate/boxes so you need a larger pick-up truck or trailer to move it. Once unpacked, I preassembled 75% of it myself. The remaining 25% required a second person. Overall assembly was very easy with simple to follow instructions. I had no material or hardware issues. Finished product is excellent and works as designed!!! Only recommendations would be to change the stair tread height as they're very high for toddlers to climb and to install some type of gate at the top of climbing wall that would block off the 2nd level opening when the climbing wall is NOT in use.

Grandkids are pleased!

Just got it and got it put together. Very pleased with the looks and price. Have read reviews about the slide and bolts ripping through the plastic. If that happens I will update my review. I think this playset will outlast the traditional wooden ones.

Castle Fun

This is for our Grandkids, and is not my first assembly project. Was able to assemble it almost entirely solo in a garage with help moving subassemblies outside. The kit's instructions are very well sequenced with good hardware. Thanks for the extra HW.

Nice Swingset and Sam’s had great price.

Put this together alone for the most part, did take a couple days and quality appears pretty good. Plenty of spare hardware and instructions and videos were helpful. Paint was missing from a couple areas in chipping (likely from shipping) but will add some touch up paint. Can’t give 5 stars until we see how it holds up with use and weather.

2 people under 7 hours

Play set comes in a huge wooden crate that was forklifted into the 6’ bed of our f250 truck, crate came to the end of the tailgate. A trailer would have made it a little easier. Once the crate was disassembled and boxes opened, assembly took my husband and I under 7 hours to complete. I watched the video while I assembled the slide, he used the paper directions while assembling the playground. When finished up the slide we worked together to get the rest of the playset complete. Everything was labeled nicely, the directions were thorough. I personally preferred the online video instructions. Had all the right parts and hardware. No issues assembling. Little one loves the slide. I’m 5’9 and the turns were too tight to easily go down. Car track on top is cool. The steering wheel is a great addition but seems like it will break off easily. The swings go really nicely. The swingset holds well when 2 are swinging. Around 200lbs it starts to bow along the top bar. The trapeze bar is too high for a 4 year old to reach. It doesn’t get too hot and is nice that it can be easily wiped down from the morning dew. We’ve had it for a week and has been a favorite. This looks so nice in our yard. We prefer this over the old wooden swingset that splintered and cracked easily.

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.

Installation and overall quality

The steps are too high for children there are so many bolts that have just broke in half when trying to install the holes for screw installation were uneven. Just poor quality for the money. Disappointed not able to see how far apart the steps are in the advertisement
