First off, it’s a great product. Came exactly as pictured and I didn’t have any missing pieces (or so I think). Preface… I hired my general contractor to help me put this together. He’s a friend and barely charged me so why not. Could have tried it alone, which I always do, but I decided to not be stubborn. Mostly because my kids are going to be swinging and hanging off of this thing. The instructions were actually quite good, despite the fact that it’s about 80 pages. Here’s my only issue with this… it took just as much time to find/sort pieces and hardware as it did to actually assemble. Absolutely ridiculous system of giving you a million (figurative) pieces, machined on part numbers, some of which had disappeared so we had to go based on size and shape, and not even a remote attempt at sorting it for you before hand. Here’s an idea, you’re sending two giant boxes, maybe put the same pieces for a particular “part number” into the same box!It took me us about 10 hours to put this together. At least 4 of those hours were spent sorting pieces and hardware.Not sure about others but I had a ton of extra hardware. Used every piece of wood and triple checked that we used the necessary hardware. They just sent A LOT of extra screws and bolts.This was about 5 months ago and the set has held up quite well.

It is sturdy. We have had 500 lbs on the swings with no problems.

It's an absolutely great swing set, but the steps leading up to the floor panel instalation is incorrect and the very last step securing the swing arm is incomplete.

We surprised my daughter with this for her birthday. She loves it! I’m not going to say it’s a madness building it, as long as you organize the pieces before hand. It took us a full day (9-5) and about 4 hours the night before to put together. We did have a few missing bolts we had to get though. Have help! Quality is nice and it seems pretty sturdy and safe.

I bought this because I wanted a quality set. However the wood is split in many places that required glueing and repairing. One was split on the platform which is dangerous for tiny feet and hands. We had to replace it. Many times we had to predrill holes that should have already been done. The instructions in many places didn’t make sense or should have been a different order causing us to undo previously done work. The assembly is quite difficult. You will need at least two people lots of tools and time. For price, it should include assembly. Not worth the cost honestly.

I have been SO disappointed in this play set. It took a LONG time to assemble (which I expected), but the quality is the worst part. There were critical screws missing which I had to go to Lowes to replace, since I was constructing this over a weekend and could not stop construction. Several boards split when putting in screws.In the instruction manual, the company informs you to call the company for EXPEDITED shipping of replacement parts. It took nearly two weeks to receive them.I stained the playset to waterproof it as they instruct the buyer to do, but I honestly do not believe this will last five years. The wood is very lightweight, and all of the components are very cheap.Would not recommend to anyone!

After looking at tons of different playground sets, we decided on this one for the price. Took us all weekend to put together working on it off & on. The holes on all of ours did line up as long as you had the pieces facing the right direction. Definitely recommend laying out the wood in organized fashion and then get some ziplock bags to organize the screws/bolts/washers/nuts you’ll need for each step (I did 3-5 pages at a time per bag unless some of the screws were too close in size to tell difference I’d start a new bag for that step) definitely helped make it go by faster once we did that unlike day 1 lol Yes this is the cheaper thin wood so it’s expected there will be flaws as easy bowing and splitting. We will be buying a wood sealer to paint over it next for it to last longer but so far the kids LOVE it (2yr old and 7yr old) it’s on the smaller size but our oldest doesn’t mind & our youngest will have years to play on it as long as it holds up!

The building process was a bit difficult only because pieces were separated into two different boxes with no structure. I wish the pieces were separated by letter per box but besides that the playset is great! It’s a great addition to the back yard. My 3 and 4 year old love it !
