I bought this for our grandson. Our son is thrilled with the good quality instructions. We are impressed with the quality of the materials. Having everything pre-drilled has been very helpful. This is a great big giant erector set!!

It took a full day to assemble. I had lots of handy helpers but for the most part not as bad as some reviewers had reported. The kids will enjoy for years to come!

Not too hard for my husband and I 2 built (approx 24 hrs) - instructions were good. I gave it a 3 star because the wood seems flimsy/weak - so a bit concerned whether it will last with 5 growing kids.

I put this together in one full day with the help of my brother and father. It was definitely a two person job. We didn’t sort the pieces which slowed us down a little. The final outcome was awesome as my sons loves it.

It is perfect for my kids ages 3 and 9. Both my boys enjoy playing on it even when it's freezing outside. I purchased it online and it was delivered very quickly to my doorstep for free. All parts were included and easy instructions were given. It took a while to assemble but it is a huge swing set so that was expected. We hope to get many years out of it.

I loved this set initially. However, after a year it was kindling. The boards are only an inch thick. We had a professional put it together to make sure everything was done well, but it really didn't matter. Within a few months boards were missing from the roof because they don't hold up during any spring storms if winds are over 15 mph. Save your money and buy something that'll last longer than a year or two.

I bought this about 3 weeks ago. I was not looking forward to putting it together, because I knew it was going to be a huge task. So I asked some family members, and 5 of us put it together in a day. It was tough, and we are all pretty tired, but it can be done. It comes in three separate boxes. There are a lot of pieces, so do not mix the contents from each box. When it calls for a part, look in each packing list from each box to narrow down your search. That makes each part easier to find.

We hired someone to assemble the play set. Be sure to paint or stain as they state. I made the mistake of not checking the bottom boards for rotting; the mulch we applied around the play set held too much moisture and began to rot the boards. It's been quiet a process to stabilize the rot then we added rubber mulch instead around the immediate area to the play set.

I have been working on this with my father in law for 2 weeks now. We have only been able to do 4-5 hours a day and we missed a few days. But the instructions are so bad!! If you have experience or you are good at directions for this kind of stuff then it is probably easy. But not for us. We have had to change around pieces and take apart everything just because one board was upside down. And the directions do not help, the pictures are bad and its hard to tell with some of this stuff. you have to be very detailed oriented throughout the process or you will end up starting over because each stage depends on the previous stage being correct. They T shape at the roof kept cracking the wood with the provided screw. so we had to improvise, that later cost us putting the roof on like it should. The inner boards do not line up to the bolt wholes provided and the lining is bad. but wood is wood. Now that it is together my 3 year old loves the slide. And the stairs make it easier for her to get up to the top. Overall I am still happy with the purchase because it makes my daughter so happy. It was worth it. But in retrospect I wish I would had just paid for the installation and saved myself the time and the headache..

The oceanview swing set has been an excellent purchase! I like the open air design because I can see all the kids regardless where they are on the swing set. The stairs are great for younger kids that can't climb ladder alone yet. The hammock is a neat feature that I haven’t seen on other swing sets and the kids really enjoy. I love that we can track the kids growth throughout the years with the 5’ measuring stick. Overall, we are very satisfied with this swing set. It’s a great choice for safe and fun play. I highly recommend.
