We bought this swing set 3 years ago for our kids then ages 2 and 3. Assembly was not difficult. Time consuming, which was expected. We had 4 adults working on it and it took around 9-10 hours of I remember correctly. All parts were included and nothing was damaged. Everything matched up and no boards were split. My husband and Dad both had cordless screwdrivers and were careful to not over tighten anything. The cedar boards are soft so they will split if you aren't careful. 3 years later we are still pleased with our purchase. Our kids have gotten hours upon hours of enjoyment out of this playset. It has held up well. I bought weatherproofing stain at a big box store and stained it within the first couple of months we owned it to seal the wood and keep it from turning grey and brittle. 1 gallon stained the entire set. 3 years later, I just re-stained it all again as it was wearing off on the stairs and floor boards in the fort. I can definitely say this is the key to keeping this set nice. It is not made of super heavy duty boards so yes they will warp some over the years, but sealing has definitely helped preserve the wood. My husband also retightens all of the screws each spring. Our swing-set gets tons of use so it definitely needs tightened up occasionally. The hammock and curtains bleach out from the sun in one hot Oklahoma summer. But they are very easy and inexpensive to replace through backyard discovery. I take them down in the cold months and have still had to replace them yearly. With a little TLC this set should last for years. I would highly recommend it, but would encourage anyone who purchases any cedar set to take the steps to maintain it, especially if you live in an area with brutal summer heat.

Great product that's worth every single penny!

Bought this a few weeks ago! it's perfect for my four toddlers

One man hand putting it together so it takes some hours but the instructions are very easy to follow.

Had a missing part and not as sturdy as I thought it would be. Definitely will reinforce platform as kids grow. Grandkids really like to play on it.

Purchased for my granddaughters. They were so excited. Played for hours. Saw all stages of installation.

I bought this product a month ago and the shipment and install have both been delayed. Would not suggest purchasing the item + install. Install yourself, save $500 and a month of time.

So my review is based off of delivery which was really fast. This was a Christmas present for our granddaughters so we won't have any other information until after that and we put it together.

VERY upset! One of the boxes is missing and we have 2 of another box. they are trying to resolve it, but it may not be done by Christmas for my sons gift

bought a month ago. took two guys 4 days to put together. kids love it.
