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.

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

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.

The directions for this play structure is absolutely horrible. We spent 5 hours putting together the slide FIRST. Wait until the end and do it off the structure. It makes way more sense that way and only took about 1 hour.. the directions put it together the completely wrong way and was 100% what the directions said. The playset itself is AMAZING and is very well built. I dont regret buying this but the directions is nearly useless. We also ended up adding sand and my two boys absolutely love this hangout area!!

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.

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

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.

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

Bought this instead of the wooden play sets cause I know the steel and plastic will last longer. Very good looking set in the yard. Great YouTube assembly help. Only reason why I did 4 instead of 5 stars is because I’m pretty sure I was short a few pieces of hardware, which my kids could have got and lost. Idk. But fortunately I’ve got a stash of junk and came up with the extra washers! We’re loving it, will see how long it lasts. Assembled in 12hrs by myself. Had help setting slide.

Definitely need at least 2 people, directions can be confusing use the YouTube videos when needed, steps are very tall for younger kids. Slide is a pain and may need reinforcement later on. For the price it's mediocre I had hope this would last a "Lifetime" but and assembling I am unsure it will. Build it where you want it or have a small army to help move it
