We purchased this play set for our kids after moving to our new home in Indiana. We had great luck with our Backyard Discovery play set we had before, so we wanted to stay with this company. We were not disappointed. Installation was not a problem to do on my own with a little help from my brother in law on the tall sections. Didn't even take a whole weekend to get together. I would highly recommend sorting all of the hardware and labeling it prior to construction. Also, lay out and alphabetize all of the wood. Saves TONS of time in the long run. My only other recommendation is to reinforce the door where it swings from the play set. My kids seem to like to "ride" on the door, so the reinforcement was needed. Great play set, great quality. Highly recommended. It performs much better than expected for the price and it looks great. We live in a neighborhood full of "overpriced" play sets, and ours looks just as good or better for a fraction of the cost.

Wood could be better condition with straighter pieces and less knots in it to split right where a screw needs to go. Also would have been nice to have all holes pre-drilled and not have to try and measure and drill pilot holes in some parts myself. I have some extra hardware pieces but I followed the directions exactly, not sure if this is normal or not (?). Also, drill hole measurements for attaching slide to swing set are not accurately depicted. Bolts will not be centered it even if put at 2 1/8 and 7” from inside surface if slide, since it's about 18” from inside to inside of the slide. Measure yourself. Would be nice if monkey bars were longer too instead of just thee bars. Kids love it though so that's all that matters.

We bought this for my daughter's 3rd Birthday and she loves it! She isn't ready for the monkey bars but wanted something she could grow into. We also bought an accessory kit (phone, periscope, binoculars, and a steering wheel) that goes great with the set

I love that there are so many different options for the kids playing! The swings, slide, monkey bars, and they even love to play restaurant using the windows and bench underneath. We feel as though it is great quality and will last us a long time! We bought it for nieces and nephews to play on, and for my daycare. All groups of kiddos love playing on it!

We bought this a year ago and at first we were very happy with it. It has a lot of features we really like such as the ship swing and the monkey bars. I'm not a huge fan of the slide because it has the waves in it and these waves launch my kids almost completely off the slide sometimes. It would probably be better with just a straight slide or a tunnel type slide. The slide also doesn't hold much weight as adults cannot go on the slide without it collapsing because it is just thin plastic with plastic supporting bars underneath. My biggest complaint with this playset is that over the past year, pieces have begun falling off and the wood doesn't seem to be fairing well in some places. The wood seems to be cracking in places and I'm a little concerned it won't hold up for the long-term considering how expensive it was. This playset is just okay. My kids like it but I would probably buy something else next time.

we bought this with the idea it was going to be hard to assemble and it was probably not made out of sturdy materials.... but it went up fast and its been solid. The kids play on it everyday and absolutely love it. Every now and then some things have to be tightened down again but overall I'm glad we bought it!

Our set is approximately 10 months old now and is still in great shape. I put this together with some help from my 9 year old daughter and it did take a full weekend plus a few additional hours for the accessories. The instructions are clear and concise but the wood pieces should have been more clearly labeled with darker ink. Some of the pieces took some educated guessing. Trust me on this bit of advice - to save a TON of time and to keep your sanity; I highly recommend first going through and organizing all the wood pieces and lay them out in alphabetical order so they are easy to find. I also did this with the hardware. I built most of this unit in our garage and then moved it to the back yard in sections when it was ready to be erected. The wood pieces are very light and seem a bit on the flimsy side so I would be cautious with older/heavier kids on this unit. I have climbed up on it with my 2 smaller kids several times and heard some of the wood pieces groaning under my very fit 160 lbs. Be sure to use the anchors provided to make it safe from tipping over. My kids like to test the upper limits of physics with the swings and it does not budge. I also used real door hinges for the door because the first storm that rolled through tore the door from the frame. And lastly, be careful with the screws. Use the pilot holes when the are there and make pilot holes when not there and don't over tighten. The wood will split. Bottom line - your kids will love it and you will be their hero - unless you pay someone else to put it together. Then that person will be there hero because kids don't understand the money part.

I read many reviews stating that it would take a full weekend with 2 people putting this playset together. I underwent the daunting task of putting it together by myself. The instructions were perfect and was an excellent step by step guide to constructing this playset. I was able to get it fully installed in just under 14 hours. I highly recommend spending the time on the front end and sort each piece of lumber and nut and bolt. It helped tremendously as you walk through each step.

This is overall a great play set. It took my father, husband, and my self about 2 days to put together. The instructions were very simply and easy to use, but there were several steps that stated to pre drill holes with a certain measurement and once that was done the hardware slipped right through it. Thankfully they provided enough hardware that we were able to make it work. My kids love it and have spent lots of time outside playing!

Once we reordered the parts that were broken and missing it took an additional 10 to 15 days to get that only to discover some of the screws were missing... very important to count off everything the unfortunate thing is if you discover all the parts are not there you have to wait another week or so to get them. Project directions were pretty good with an exception of a couple of unclear descriptions. Still waiting for two parts had to make our own to get by a little disappointed but now that it's done we're happy with the results. The wood could be a little thicker it seemed a little cheap
