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

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.

This is a great playset for the price! Assembly took MUCH longer than I had read in other reviews; however the assembly instructions were easy to read & very detailed. Be prepared…this thing may come in 2 boxes, but there are a TON of pieces.The playset itself is beautiful. My only complaint would be the quality of the wood. In multiple instances the wood splintered or cracked when installing the bolts/screws into the pre-drilled holes. The planks inside the house portion are definitely okay for toddler use; however, if they jump up & down while inside the house or on the porch areas the planks will bend slightly underneath them as they jump. It’s not an awful thing…but the wood is just thinner than I anticipated.A few tips that helped us with assembly:1) Mark & lay out all piece in numerical order on a tarp. The pieces are already numbered on the edges; however, we added painters tape with numbered markings on face of each piece & it made it SO much easier to quickly glance down & find which one of the 2,000 pieces of wood we were looking for on each step. DON’T USE MASKING/PACKING TAPE. It will pull the black paint off the wood.2) If the pilot holes don’t align….you likely need to flip the board over. It was only on the ladder assembly that the pre-drilled pilot holes just were not correct no matter what we did. All other times it was corrected by flipping/turning the board.3) There is A MILLION different screws, bolts, lag screws, t-nuts, washers of all different sizes and colors in a million tiny little bags. It was a HUGE help to organize all the hardware by type & in numerical order inside multiple small cups and have them all set out before assembly.Overall, I am very pleased with this playset and would purchase it again! If purchasing, just keep in mind you get what you pay for. This playset is less than $1,500. I was not expecting something that was high quality wood that would last 10+ years. If you want a playset that is extremely strong, sturdy and will last your kids their entire childhood don’t buy this one & make the $5,000+ investment. 🙂

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.
