Very happy but be prepared to spend time w/ assemb

I bought this play set with intentions for a two year old and a ten year old. I am very happy with the quality and it is exactly what I expected. There are a few open places from the “club house” at the top that we nailed some extra boards across to keep our two year old from falling off until she gets bigger. There are a few heads up details I would have liked to know before hand . The playhouse was shipped, I am guessing on the diesel truck because the driver could not make it down my driveway which is a gravel lane with trees overhanging. The driver was able to contact my parents and meet at a gas station to deliver to my dad since I was at work so it worked out. Also my husband and his friend spent 18 hours total putting the playset together. It does say 18 to 24 hours for assembly online for moderately skilled people. I consider my husband and his friends very proficient in assembling things and it took every bit of 18 hours for them. The playhouse came in at three very heavy boxes that were cram packed. It was a lot of tiny boards to start with and one of the boards to make the ladder in the first up was in a separate box so we spent a lot of time looking for that not knowing it would be in a different box. The directions left out some steps along the way and were a little hard To understand the pictures at times. I would still highly recommend this playhouse to anyone and if you have someone that has patients and is good with assembling things you will be fine as long as you have the time. If not , spend the $500 to have someone else do it for you LOL

We love it but needs support

Some of the boards are super flimsy and feel like I could Easily rip them off. When you step in spots the wood bows extremely. Where the hammock is you see the wood bending when sitting and the material is a bit flimsy. I know This isn’t for adults but even the amount of children in the picture seems unrealistic. We love it overall as my 2/3/5yr olds all have a blast and it’s nice to just go outside and play but the sketchiness of some of the wood is concerning especially for this price point.

Awesome playhouse/swing set!!

Bought this on Black Friday for my grandsons. My husband put it together mostly by himself! He is very handy! He did it in our garage in sections. Then hauled it to their house by trailer, they live 2 blocks. All the pieces where there & in perfect shape!

Oceanview Cedar Swing Set

Really love the playhouse. 3 boxes arrived and when we opened them, we were a bit overwhelmed by just how many parts and pieces there are to this swing set but we wanted to save the set-up fee of $400 or $500 and do it ourselves. We had read reviews so we knew what to expect. If you have a good area for it, save yourself a lot of time by putting every board in order alphabetically and all the screws/bolts/etc. in order. Then follow the page by page instructions - there are about 80 steps. The people that make this product do an amazing job of getting everything right. We found a couple of boards that needed to be replaced but everything else was there which is amazing because of the number of parts involved. Our almost 3 year old granddaughter loves this swing set and slide. The monkey bar part is too old for her and we'll add it later. Right now that part is stored until she is older.

Very nice but time consuming

A solid 12 hours of work to assemble. Make sure you spend the time to organize every piece of wood and every fastener so that you can quickly retrieve them during assembly. Definitely use the Bilt App that is referenced on the front of the instruction manual. The 3D CAD assembly makes it a lot easier. Overall it is a very nice product and the kids love it.

Beautiful swingset

Just bought this and put it together over two weekends. My son (almost 2yo) loves the slide and hasn't gone on the swings yet but I know he'll love that too. We put it together ourselves - spent 5 hours with 3 adults one day and about 5 hours with 2 adults the following weekend. Very doable with straight forward instructions. Excellent quality

Great playset

We bought this playset for out 1.5 and 6 yr old and they both love it. It has lots of activities to keep them busy. Just like any playset, it was a lot of work to put together. We had a few friends and it still took about 10 hours with no major mistakes.

Beautiful playset! Thin wood

I love this swingset. Delivery was easy and convenient. It took 2 days to build with 3 people each day. A little over 12 hours maybe 14ish. It is a beautiful swingset. The cedar wood is my least favorite part. Its thin and light. 3 pieces have split while being screwed in. But the worst part is the piece of wood that connects the monkey bars to the playset. We are already coming up with a way to brace it. I still say this playset is beautiful and my daughter loves it. I would purchase again as a lot of playsets are made with cedar.

Kids love it!

Bought it just over a month ago and the kids can't get enough of playing on it. Like the one piece slide and it's built surprisingly sturdy. The structure is strong enough to hold me at 190lbs. Haven't tried the slide but feel it should hold me. Thanks Sam's for another good product.

Great product!

It took three days to put it all together with me and a friend of mine. If you are not a Handyman or a general contractor my advice would be to call the 800 number to have them professionally install it for you. The instructions only get you so far but without the proper tools putting it together is virtually impossible
