[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this playset for a year and it has been great. The quality is better than other playsets we looked at. The only problem I've seen is with the age of my kids, they are 3 and 2. My 3 year old just recently figure out how to climb the ladder and my 2 year old still has trouble once she gets to the top. The transition from the ladder to the top is a little far for small kids so be careful. I am hoping to find a different ladder to put on until my kids and nephews ads a little older.

We bought this set this spring and although several reviews said it had "confusing" instructions, we found it rather easy to follow. My kids and their friends have enjoyed having their own little park in our backyard. Very solid...no "give" to the bar while kids are swinging. Love that there isn't any wood to treat.

Bought this for my grandkid's thinking it would be a great addition to our backyard BUT putting it together wasn't easy parts didn't fit correctly bolt's snapped we had to go buy good bolts and nut's several parts had no holes in them.. Not worth the price we paid we are disappointed..

This is a very sturdy play set, but the other reviews are 100% correct that it takes 2 people more than a day to assemble. 2 reasons: the playground comes with long bolts & blind nuts that are difficult to install; the ground has to be level, so you'll spend a couple hours here. But, it comes in a small package!

The Good: Instructions are excellent. Construction seems very solid. Kids from 4 to 12 seem to have a great time playing on it. The BAD: I bought this playset for my 4 year old. She abosolutely loves it! Unfortunately there is no real safe way for her to get onto the landing to go down the slide or play with the steering wheel. The spacing of the grips on the rock walls and location of the grab bars at the top is too far apart for someone 3 foot 6 inches tall. The ladder arcs over and is horizontal right at the top. The spacing of the rungs and grab bars is such that she can fall thru very easily. To get to the platform she has to put herself in a very akward position basically pulling her knee to her chin to reach the last rung without hitting her head on the rail around the landing. If the ladder was more of a regular ladder, or the rungs were closer together, I'd give it 5 stars. I would not recommend for kids under 5.

Assembly is worse than you can possibly imagine. Instructions called for a certain parts bag (FAA) that was not shipped. Had to improvise with some of the spare parts and some of the parts from the wrong bag (FAC) they shipped. The majority of the bolts fit into a specific kind of nut that is exceptionally poorly machined. Using only hand tools, I snapped THREE of the bolts because they fit together blindly inside the tubing, and you can't tell if it's hard to turn because it's crossthreaded or if it's the blue loctite they applied to the bolts. If blindly reversing the bolt one-handed to feel a nearly imperceptible 'click' of the threads slotting into place 4 or 5 times until you get it right – times 250 bolts – sounds like fun, you might like this kit. I'd rather remove my own teeth with slip-lock pliers than have to assemble another one of these.

We are very happy with the play center. The only downfall to the play center is the ladder. Smaller children have a hard time with the ladder at the top step, it has a long reach for kids to grab the handles which they tend to fall through the last step. On the A Frame set the trapeze bar comes with handles and the bar that would be nicer for the kids to reach. You can buy them separate for $50.

We bought this Play set this past spring. I was looking for a playset that would not give my kids slivers and would have as little maintenance as possible. And yet is great quality. This is perfect! We love it! It doesn't get hot in the sun and burn my kids. And the warranty is awesome too.

I purchased this play set intending for it to last a while with the claims not to crack or rot, etc. it has rusted all over and the supports holding the platform are nearly rusted through making it unsafe. I'm very disappointed that this only lasted a few years.

arrived in good shape have not constructed it yet so I cant really say much either way.
