Straight forward instructions. Just take your time reading them. Don't over tighten bolts.

Took us a few days to get it together, but the kids love it.

strong enough for older kids, fun, looks great in our yard

Easy to assemble and kids love playing on it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy playset. Our children love it !

be sure to pay attention to directions. plan for two people and for two full days.

so sad. Item arrived with missing bolts and screws. Then in less then 2 weeks we already have cracks and rust. I called and only an automated machine saying we are busy and can't take the call. I also emailed and nothing. I wish I could return the item. I tried posting pictures and for some reason they don't process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a few weeks of debating this season on whether to go with the standard wood playset, or to lay down a bit more money and go for this one, we decided on this one. We're glad we did, as this piece is solid and obviously high-quality. The low-maintenance aspect of the metal and plastic is great too, as whenever it gets dusty or dirty or some big bird poops on the slide, all it takes is a quick hose-down and it's clean. The assembly was fairly straightforward, but time-consuming. It's still not as bad as the instruction manual made it seem though - it stated it would take 3 people 13 hours to assemble, but it took me 14 hours alone total with a little help here and there from my wife. It also took another 2 hours to properly level the playset and the ground around it (you may or may not have to do this depending on your lawn), and another half hour or so to anchor it with the included kit. You should also factor in the time to make this a safe place to play; because it's so huge a kid could take quite a tumble if they slip off the monkey bars or fall from the deck. Follow the advice in the manual and set up a safety area around it. On our part we bought a wood/pvc mix playground border kit that was almost 6 inches high, set it up around the set, then filled it to the brim with playground wood chips. This beat digging a huge 6-inch deep gouge in our yard, that one day we'd need to fill when our daughter outgrows this and it needs to go.

We purchase two months ago - fun for 1 of 2 of our grand kids. Younger child fell thru top rung of the curved ladder onto the ground - he will not climb up yet. Poor design on the ladder. No help from the company representative to modify or offer suggestions for ladder improvement.

Plan a full day to assemble as it's not quick and does require 2 people and a 6' ladder. Also, use more tie downs than supplied, preferably helical. We had this up one month before a sto rm threw it into the neighboring field and turned it into a pretzel!
