Great playset!

Great playset! The only reason it’s not 5 starts is set up if you have the money to do so definitely pay for set up. The slide and adding on all of the side walls was probably the hardest part that set us all off hahah. But it turned out great and we finished in about 9 hours with three of us!

Perfect

Just finished assembling and it worked out perfectly, not sure why so people complained about it, it wasn’t too bad. Everything lined up perfectly and was able to tackle most of it by myself, the wife assisted with a couple hard to reach bolts and the heavy lifting. Tip: make sure you level the ground and assemble exactly where you want it. And be ready to spend a decent amount of time assembling, especially if you’re a perfectionist. Also love the anchors that come it! My son has been playing on it stop and I’m sure it will last him years!

Good quality, and my kids love it.

This took about two afternoons for two adults to assemble. The instructions were good, and we didn't encounter any serious issues during assembly. I did manage to break a bolt, but there's a bag of spare parts that luckily had extras. My kids love it, and sit in it playing with legos any day the weather allows. Combined with the physical activity, they're exhausted and get a good nights sleep any time they can spend the evening playing on this.

Its a very nice playset, but the slide support is garbage! Ours has been up for 2 years and the slide is cracked already due to only one small post holding it up. Also, the steps are way to high for little ones. There needs to be more steps and we ended up using concrete blocks as additional steps. The swing chains have become very sticky also, requiring covers over them that we again made ourselves. There is much that can be easily made better if they only used a little common sense!

Loved but be prepared.

Kids ages 10,4,3 all playing on it. They love every piece of this playset however the build was a total of a few days work. My husband had to go out and buy different hardware bc the plastic pieces don’t bend enough to make it all fit. It does take more tools and hardware than expected. You have to drill out each plastic pieces hole. So over prepare with tools, patience, and give yourself time.

Great Purchase!

We love the adventure play castle. It's very strong and durable. Our kids love playing on it with their friends. We believe it will last us many years to come. NOTE: do NOT use the assembly service Sam's Club recommends. It's a contractor through AIT. It's overpriced and has terrible service and then customer service. What could have taken us a weekend to assemble cost several hundreds of dollars, 6-8 weeks of scheduling issues with a tech who never assembled the playset before anyway, and my husband ended up finishing it himself—all with no substantive refund from AIT. Save yourself the money and assemble it yourself. It's worth it.

The product it’s self is great! It’s very sturdy. However the delivery service used was not great. I had my driveway completely clear for the delivery. They did not come to the door or call me to ask where to put it. They dumped a pallet the size of a car literally on the street blocking my mailbox.

Takes a lot of time

It takes 3 people and a lot of patience to put this together!!! The roof of this was by far the hardest part to put together!!! I think it should be put of the poles before you ever put the on the swing set!!!! But once it is all put together it is worth all the effort !! Kids love it !!!

Time consuming build. Kids enjoy it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The process to build was very time consuming. Solo build took more then 8 hours over 3 days. Some of the plastic comes pre drilled while some of it you have to drill which didn't make any sense why there were all done in factory. Thankfully they send you a bag of extra hardware becuase the hardware is cheep, it easy strips or snaps. I had just enough hardware including the extras to finish build. I do not recommend solo building this. Save you back and time and have 3 people helpnas the parts hard to reach at times. The kids however are enjoying the new playground. Perfect high for my 3rd and 4th grader however everything is too tall for the Preschool so he needs helps with the set.
