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.

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.

POOR QUALITY

The slide defect on this model must be a common problem. I purchased this in March 2024. Did not install it until July 2024. This was for my grandsons 4 & 2 yrs old that are not here very often, so definitely has not been used very much or mistreated. This past Memorial Day my daughter points tout 3 areas in the bottom part of the slide that are busting out where the pieces are bolted together. These are in the same area as I see others have reported. Obviously this is a design defect! For the money spent, this should not be happening!

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.

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.

Love this playset

Took a little work to put together, but I'll take metal over wood anyway. All my kids love it!
