Delivery was quicker than expected. Came in two very heavy boxes and the slide came in its own wrapping. The pieces within the packing are all put together very strategically. This took my husband about 10ish hours to completely put together. One of the things that was extremely helpful was labeling the items so it’s easy to identify(used a chalk marker) and if someone could be one step ahead gathering the pieces/bolts. The directions were fairly easy to follow there was a few steps/pieces that took an extra second to figure out. Lots of extra bolts/screws. Made us feel like we didn’t do something correctly- but everything was used as it should be. There were a few boards that splintered as soon as the screw went in. None of the ones that splintered were specifically weight bearing that would cause me to return the item. Overall happy with the purchase! We hope to get many years of fun out of this! :)

When assembling we noticed the boards are very thin and many had cracks in them before we began assembly.At first we had only noticed a few, so we were relatively unbothered, and proceeded after reading more about the product in the instructions.During assembly, boards began splitting down the middle, subsequently leading to screws falling out. There are panels with staples missing or falling out, the window framings are barely held in place. The list goes on.We went to a big box store and bought lumber to use as reinforcement, and still this structure is weak.It was purchased for my son's first birthday - a 21lb child at the time, now 25lbs at 17 months and he causes the board to warp, bow, and crack when walking on them.This was assembled by 3 metal fabricators, my husband who is a welder/machinist and works on fighter jets, my brother in law, who is a crew chief on helicopters and fighter jets, and my father who is a sheet metal worker on fighters, and previously used to frame houses, and work in construction. I'm saying all of this to frame in your mind that nothing was assembled incorrectly. This product is simply not worth it.This was a product we were hoping to get a decade or more of use out of, and we haven't even gotten 6 months.Now we're out nearly $2,000 and we don't have playground equipment for my son or our future children. I'm beyond furious.

It took a while to put together but it is very sturdy and looks great. My daughter loves it

I recently bought this for a surprise gift for my son’s 4th birthday. I made sure to check out the reviews for assembly tips and I’m pretty glad I did. One review suggested sorting the wood before you start and it was an ESSENTIAL step. Mark the wood with a piece of blue painters tape and the woods number. It took me almost 1.5 hours to get everything labeled and laid out but it was 100% worth every second. Some of the wood pieces were very hard to read and we had to kind of guess, but it all worked out.I also suggest sorting the bolts and screws by color and then also numerically. That will save you a fair amount of time during assembly.Another review said that 2 people could assemble this in 8 hours and I’m still trying to figure out how? It took 2 of us 12 hours on day one and almost 6 the next. While one person was tightening screws the other was setting up the next step. There is an app that gives you step by step instructions and a 3d view of the step you are on. We used both the book and the app. There was a handful of times that they didn’t match up so I suggest using both to keep on track. The 3d view was a nice help when trying to figure out how to situate the boards.Be careful when hammering the boards. They break and crack easily if it’s not set on a sturdy surface.There is a swing arm extender that isn’t mentioned in the app or the book. I was only aware of it because of another review I read. It’s a short block that slides into the bracket that connects the swing set to the clubhouse. It’s in the picture in the directions but there’s no mention of it anywhere.Overall this is a nice looking play set and it seems to be pretty sturdy. My son loves it!

Fantastic playset!!! Lots of small pieces but after unboxing and organizing the parts in the backyard it took my husband about 8 hours non stop to assemble. We had one board that was cracked, however my husband does woodwork so he went to Home Depot and bought a piece of fur wood, primed it, stained it drilled holes and replaced that piece that was damaged all in the same day. It’s definitely a step by step process, I can See how more people involved could take longer to put together. The hardware could have been more simplified, meaning using the same size bolts and screws. It’s a great piece of equipment and we highly recommend it!!

My kids loved it. We spent more than 8 hours trying to put all the pieces together but it was not very hard with the instructions manual, everything came in the package even extra screws in case is needed. Truly recommend it.

Comes in like 1,000 individual pieces not super easy to set up also seems thinner than I thought so I’m worried it won’t last long. The slide is good heavy duty and so is the swing set part but everything else seems thinner and cheaper.

So I’ve had the swing set up for a year now. When I first put it up I noticed just how thin and flimsy the wood was. Many pieces were splitting before I even touched them. After initial building I reinforced a lot of the structure like the steps and main house.In the year since I’ve had to repair probably 20 things, like entire side panels just having the screws or staples just slide out of the wood.0/10 don’t recommend. I even tried to return it half way through the build but they offer me 50% back to keep it. So even at $700 I wouldn’t recommend it.
