Fun for kids

This has been a very popular set since its pin point up a few days ago. Had it delivered a week ago and it took one person 4 days to put up because the weather issues. Definitely could have used to 2nd person at times but all in all it's a great set and went up well. All the parts are easily marked. It's important to be sure is level that the entire area is level for this Set. Also, I will stress that there are a lot of parts to up. Organization is key. Love the set!

This thing is awesome!

If you can build IKEA furniture, you can build this gigantic swing set. Sure, it might take ~20 hours and require periodic assistance, but it went together very easily and is very high quality for a great price! I love Backyard Discovery's Safe-T-Fuse hardware and can tell the people who designed it really had truly considered how to create a long lasting swing set with high quality. Our kids love it and the cedar looks (and smells) beautiful!

Great playground

My husband was able to put the set together by himself working one full Sunday and all week after work in the evenings then finishing Saturday. Our kids are 4, 8 & 10 and they all love it. This is our third set from Sam's. We bought this one because our previous set was damaged due to Hurricane Harvey.

Cheap flimsy wood

Still trying to put this together, wood is flimsy and some boards came split when building the second story exactly as instructed on of the beams was too heavy for the flimsy wood it was screwed to and fell pulling the bolt right out. Now we are at a stand still after having to order a new piece, the whole project had been frustrating. I just hope after it is built that it stays together, sure feels cheap for a 2000 set!

Very tall

It's a tall swing set, don't get me wrong it's awesome and the kids will be able to grow into it but it's super tall. It's took my husband 2 1/2 days with his “helpers” a 5 year old and a 1.5 year old. Wood was in decent shape, slide was interesting to put together, he needed me to help during that part. Kid's are really enjoying it

Installation is a joke

The instruction book first half didn't list part numbers which was not fun but the second half did. I had two pages that were in all Spanish. One board I received was rotted to where I could push my finger through it so I had to make my own board. The boxes showed with some minor damage to some of the wood where a fork lift got poked through the box. The driver annotated it but no one ever contacted me about it. We shall see how it lasts the boards are really soft but so far it has held up well and the kids do like it.

Totally ballin' playset!

Took us a week to put it up. We pre-treated all the lumber with Thopson's Water Seal in the garage over 2 days. Then, my in-laws, my wife, my neighbor and I spent 4 ~4-6 hour days building it. The BUILT app instructions were great! All the hardware was present. Had to modify 1 board with a skill saw to make it fit right. My daughter and her neighborhood friends love it! The slide is awkward, but that's minor. We may swap that out later. The playset is bigger than I expected. We are happy with it so far...

Love this play set!

We got this for our grandchildren. We went into it knowing it would be a LOT of work putting it together. But we had time so we got it. It did take a lot of time to assemble (days) but it was so worth it. It is very well constructed and is a solid piece of equipment. Our grandkids adore it!

Decent product.

Not a bad swing set. Had some pieces come in damaged from shipping but got replacement parts 6 days later. took me around 25 hours to install. Floor boards a little flimsy due to floor hoist spacing. I plan on adding some extra so they don't break over time.

Great for the price, beware of unmarked pieces

I purchased this as an upgrade for my eight grandchildren. I would give it 5 stars, but many of the pieces were illegible or completely unmarked. If not for the piece description in the instructions, it would have been impossible to put together. We opened all the boxes and put the pieces in alphabetical and then numerical order... took over half the day since we had to figure out, measure, and hand write about a third of the pieces. Once that was done, putting it together was a breeze. We had one person pulling pieces, screws, and bolts for each step, and two people putting it together. Actually putting it together took about 7 hours and all the pieces fit perfectly. I did purchase better lights because the ones we got didn't really light up the playground well. All in all, my grandkids love it, from ages 2-8.
