Great sturdy set for the money. Would like the hardware to have been a little better quality but other than that great set and the kid loves it

Poor quality

I bought this less than a year ago and it's falling apart. The door fell off and the wood is splitting all over on the seats, tables, and supports.

Great looking, great price

I bought this during the pandemic so we could swing and play. All the playgrounds were closed and my grandchildren were sad that we couldn't go so I brought it to them!

Not Happy

The wood is cheap and the design has flaws. I wll let my great-granddaughter play on it as long as it holds up but I would not purchase again and would not recommend to friends and family.

Satisfied, Grandkids love it, but some issues

First of all go into this playset with eyes open - it is very labor intensive and having skilled people assist is the key. I am am experienced DIYer with decks and remodels in every room of house under belt. Had another remodeler and 2 other good adult helpers for the build - make it a work day and its doable. Also had a helper that pre-staged pieces for next step before we needed them - staying one step ahead allowed us build without constant start and stop of looking for pieces. We did the main build in approx 10 hours (with a couple of breaks). Quality of lumber was ok - not great but not horrible. Encountered two split boards but they were essentially trim pieces so we were able to work around until replacements arrive. Note - if time is limited (i.e. you only have helpers for X number of hours... ) you can skip from Step 53 to 70 ... that allows you to get the major portions done and come back to buiding the little tables and benches... I know that isnt the recommended sequence because the instructions have you finish the entire fort including the benches and tables before getting to the rest (ladder, slide, swing beam etc) - but i skipped because i was losing daylight and helpers. The set is fun though and the grandkids love it- the end product i am satisfied. The instructions at times are not the easiest - requires at times you figuring out what they are trying to get you to do - but its easy enough as long as take time and make sure you understand. The splits in boards and some chips from shipping and pre-drilling at manufacturing were disappointing but expected. Don't get stressed or overwhelmed - understand that it isnt perfect and depending on some of the slight miscues to be expected in the pre-drilling and other manufacturing processes - some slight loosening and adjustments are required. Stay patient and work through it and it works out. It can be frustrating but it is manageable. Again - I understand that skipping steps is NOT recommended - but just giving a tip since real life happens and doesnt always allow for everything to go according to best made plans.

Don't over analyze

Logical detailed instructions. Sub divided large project into 14 small projects by printing out copy of instructions and seperating. First organized all the wood into 14 piles cooresponding to my 14 sub-projects (approx 2 hours). The reason I did this was to maximize productive time with my assistance over the weekend. On work day had 4 people. Team 1 started working on ladder, climbling wall, A-frame/swing beam while Team 2 started on Fort. By the time Team 1 had finished their part, base of fort was built. Then came together to do rest of project. Finished in 8 hours of work on Saturday including lunch break. Kids love it. 3 year old boy loves playing on top fort.

Great Swingset for a great price !

I shopped around a lot before purchasing this swingset. My grandchildren love it . They are too small for the swings that came with the swingset so I purchased toddler/safety swings separately. I put the swings that came with it up for when they are older. I paid the extra fee for delivery and set up and it was well worth it ! The man that came to my house had this completely set up in about 3 hours. He said he has been doing this for years. He was polite, on time, set up the swingset and went onto his next job. This seems to be very well made and is an excellent swingset and the price was better than most others I have seen with less neat stuff !

Easy to assemble.

I had been looking for a playset for months. I kept coming back to this one. It is the best value I could find. I picked it up at SAM's club and it all fit in my pickup. Instruction were straight forward and everything went together nicely. I must say it looks nice in the yard.

Amazing quality swing set!!

We bought this swing set for our little girls' 2nd and 4th birthdays. They absolutely love it and play on it about 3 to 4 hours a day! It's the very first thing they want to do when they wake up each morning. The quality is amazing, and we live all the features. Very sturdy, well built, with great design. Worth every penny!

The kid's love it!

I've been looking around for a swing set for my 8 & 4 year old for a while. I compared all the prices and all the designs from everywhere, and Sam's Club has the best swing set for the price. I lucked out with the assembly due to my husband being a contractor (and having some of his friends over to help).
