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.

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.

Great Product

Well designed. Father and family built the play set. The best thing to do is to watch the video along with reading the instructions and same time. Saved a lot of time and headaches which made it easier to build. All went together well with no problems. The playset is well made.

Really nice, few hiccups

This is a really, really nice playset, however, it was quite challenging to put together. The hardware and instructions in the booklet did not match up with the hardware and instructions in the video. I ran out of a particular bolt when putting together the place at towards the end because those bolts had been used in a previous step unnecessarily. I figured it out eventually when there was so much sticking out that it could be utilized in a more appropriate place but I would’ve run out a hardware how do I not realized the mistake in the directions. In addition, the steps up to the tower are really tall for small children and even tall for 6 to 8-year-olds, I would suggest adding a half step in between the large steps to accommodate both small children and make it easier for the bigger kids too. It is a very high step. The instructions in the video were more accurate than the ones in the booklet. One must be careful not to over tighten hardware and I think someone with large fingers would have a challenge with securing the hardware.

Great features but takes a long time to assemble

Great product that my kids absolutely adore! However, it took me, my husband, Lots of power tools, and two full days to assemble! Also, after a year, my slide cracked. They were great to replace the parts and ship them right to my door, but I was a little bit frustrated that it’s broke in less than a year.

Lots of hardware

First thing is OMG there is a lot of parts. But. The instructions and youtube videos are really good. I watched video first and it helped me understand the instructions. Each section will let you load video at that step. It takes hours but all parts were present and this was one of the best "some assembly required" experiences i have had. Great product.

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

Kids love it, swings rubber is melting in the sun though

We bought this maybe 6 months ago and the kids love it however the rubber on the swings is breaking down and becoming goopy/sticky and makes your hands all nasty feeling. This doesn't seem right for something we haven't had even a year. Maybe if we had it for 10 years but not less than a year.

A bit complicated but worth it!

The product quality is great, strong, dependable. This is the closest you will get to commercial grade. I am not going to lie, it was a bit of a headache putting it together. It was well worth it in the end. The product is not cheap, its sturdy, well-built.
