My son is almost 6 and my daughter is 20 months. They both love the swing set! My son doesnt play a whole lot on it by himself, but when he hes friends over there are all on it. Took my husband a whole shift from 9am until sun down to get it together. It took a couple more days for him to put the last minute touches on it. I agree with most reviews that it is a little flimsy and creaks alot. Hoping it lasts until my daughter is at least his age! Over all, I am happy with the product. ( I believe we had two pieces of hardware that were missing. Haven't contacted the company yet.

We bought this for our daughter's 2nd birthday. We thought some activities might be advanced but wanted something she could grow into. We've had the play set a year now and she's had a blast on it since day one. I for sure wouldn't shy away from buying this for a toddler. You'll be amazed at what they can do.

We are pretty happy with this purchase. There are some pieces and screws missing but we hope to call the company and have them sent to us. A few pieces of the wood split when screwed into place. The quality of the wood seems a little poor for the price we paid. Our son seems to be really enjoying it though. Took my husband 12-14 hours to assemble by himself.

I would rate this as an A- to B+ set. The overall quality is good. There were some pieces that were warped upon arrival, but we were able to make them fit acceptably. I would rate the instructions for putting the set together a C. We pulled each section by the sheet and tried to match up hardware and individual elements to insure we had everything we needed for each section. Some sections were self explanatory and easy...others made no sense by the drawings. I would recommend actual photographs of construction instead of engineer type drawings as it is impossible to tell front from back sometimes. Additionally, the instructions for putting the fort together was the most difficult to make sense. When we put the cedar slats into the lower section side by side as shown, there was a huge gap on one side. We then had to remove all the slats and guess on spacing, which if one has experience in construction is not a huge problem...but for a novice, you need to be prepared for this. The instructions should indicate to allow some space between each slat. On the other sections of the fort, it is very specific on spacing to the 16th of an inch (even though the measurements don''t work out) The door instructions to attach were impossible to make sense. It took us about 15 minutes to figure out how the door installed since we had to guess the spacing on the slats on this side as well. My gut told me to allow about the same spacing as the other slats on the sides, which worked out and then add the support element to attach the door. We then tried to figure out if the door swung out or in. I thought it made more sense to swing out as this gives more room inside. Nope. It swings into the fort. All the instructions had to say was that the door installs INSIDE the fort, not on the outside and the jam attaches over the slat closest to the arch on either side (since the door can swing either way in) and then attaches with the magnet on the bottom. The ladder construction was easy, however, it is important to note that to attach the ladder it is CRITICAL that the installer predrill the hole for the screws that attach from inside the fort into the ladder. We did not do so and the first side split. I predrilled the other side and it worked fine. I had to glue and clamp the piece back together and I will use several construction screws INSTEAD of the larger lag screw to prevent further splitting of that piece of wood. Overall the quality of the bolts, screws and barrel nuts appears to be very good...time will tell after they have been in the weather a few years. The cedar seems to be good quality with little rosin (there were two boards that were sticky). The swings, glider, slide, and the remainder of the pieces are very nice. It is important to tell your kids to watch their head when climbing up the ladder and going into the fort...even though our granddaughter is only five, she has hit her head several times already on the arch going into the fort and at the top of the ladder. Were I to redesign the ladder side I would not have the arch on that side as it makes climbing onto the deck much easier. I may cut that piece and add a support piece to give structural strength to the top piece and allow the kids easier access for climbing. Overall, it took two of us who are pretty experienced at building about 12 hours build and set up. It was cold so working time was increased a little, but I would advise anyone to allow at least 12 to 15 hours total to complete the installation of the entire set. Also, you need to allow several hours prep time for the location where the set will finally be placed...depending on the material under the swing set.

We bought this set one exactly one year ago as a birthday present for out 3 yr old twins. There is not a day that goes by that they don't play on it. I initially thought we would have to purchase bucket swings but they fit perfectly onto the included swings. We love the glider swing since they have learned how to ride together (and it doesn't require mommy to push). The clubhouse part is really cute and now that they are 4, we help them climb across the monkey bars. It is worth the investment since we've logged in so many hours of play. I feel we got a great bargain for the price as far as quality. I would have given 5 stars, but we paid a swing-set expert to help install this set so he could ensure it was level. He stated it indeed was solid construction, however he did have to drill a few extra holes in 2 of the beams since the pre-drilled ones were a bit off on measurement.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Two things I would have changed with this player is more stairs for the monkey bars and more bars they are too far apart. So now I have to spend more money to purchase 6 more. Also the picnic area is not sturdy at all. Mine has broke.

I bought this about 4 years ago and had go configure Assemble this playground set in my backyard which is sloped. The installation was done poorly and they did not adjust for the sloped back yard. I have had to replace parts annually due to wood that breaks/cracks/warps. 4 years later it is very rickety and I've put money in annually to fix it. The lifespan of this appears to be about 4 to 5 years

Got this for our 2 yr old granddaughter this summer. Even though she is a little young for it, there are plenty of features she can have fun with now. The little fort house is her favorite. Overall a good value, but could be great with a few simple improvements. The design is very clever, but there are a few areas where more thought and slightly better materials should have gone into them. One is the "picnic table" on the back of the fort. The fasteners do not hold the table and benches level. We will probably need toads a few screws to make it better. Some of the instructions are a bit challenging, so just be sure you go over each of them carefully. All in all a pretty good set-up. (The blue swing in the photo is not part of this set, but can be found for under $30.)

Happy we did. Has an upscale look. Bought for my daughter who has been using it constantly during COVID pandemic. Children < 80 pounds do great (Up to 4 at the same time). Max is 120 pounds. It is engineered so the wood is light- lean process- you get what you pay for. Needs yearly water protection stain- took me 1 hr with a spray gun.

I bought this play set a couple months ago. Took about 2 days (full days) to put together. Kids LOVE it. Not quite as sturdy as I was hoping, but good. Kids are totally okay on it, but I imagine once you hit 11 or 12 years old it's a bit small/fragile. Perfect for 6-7 year olds.
