Explorer Adventure Climbing Fort with Platform, Playground Slide and Play Tent, Outdoor Jungle Gym for Backyard, Kids Ages 3-10 (8631)

Assembly does take some time as expected with playground equipment of this size. Instructions aren't great but if you read a page or two ahead you can catch the errors. About 3 hour set up with 2 people, kids love it well worth the price and assembly.

This playground set is the perfect size for a small yard—sturdy and well-constructed. However, assembly requires two adults and careful attention to detail.To streamline the process, be sure to read ahead in the instructions to prevent unnecessary disassembly. Pay close attention to the photos, especially regarding washer placement and the orientation of poles. In some cases, adjusting the order of steps may make assembly easier.The included ground stakes may not be effective in rocky soil, but using alternative stakes provided a secure and stable setup.The optional net at the bottom offers a great space for lounging and provides a clean, dirt-free play area.For those comfortable following step-by-step instructions—similar to assembling IKEA furniture—this playground set is relatively easy to build.Perfect for 3 to 8 year-olds! Our tall 2 year old loves this playground!

This was a little difficult to put together, but my husband is strong and good at just looking at something and knowing how to make it work. We put it up in the basement so the kids can play no matter the weather outside. They tend to stick to the slide, but with pants and socks or a towel/blanket to sit on it works great.

I've never submitted a review about anything but this whole thing compelled me to do so. A horrible experience all around. First of all, this thing was the hardest thing I've ever assembled, mostly because of horrible instructions. (And I've assembled hundreds of things before). On top of that, I noticed that Amazon dropped the price right after I received it. All I asked for from Amazon was to give me a partial refund to what the product was then selling for. And they refused saying it was "price matching" even if it was also sold from them. I suspect that the reason Amazon dropped the price was because so many people were returning it. And it will probably soon be a clearance item... Inside the box were 2 instruction books. One of them had a sticker on it that said: "Updated Instructions. Use this manual." But I went over the entire books of each and not a single difference. I suspect that the manufacturer/seller was told by Amazon to update their instructions since so many people were complaining about them. And they bluffed with a so-called "Updated Instruction Manual." I thought that I could YouTube it. Believe it or not, this specific particular item is NOT on YouTube! There's no YouTube instructions at the time that I submit this review. As far as Amazon, they said that I could return it.... But I had already put in a significant amount of time and work assembling it, and they wanted it sent back in the box and even pay not refund the shipping. All I asked Amazon for was a partial refund to what they were selling the product for on the day that I received it. I had already put in a heck of a lot of time and work assembling it. I wasn't about to disassemble and re-box it. So Amazon essentially helped this manufacturer/seller rip me off. I have a lot of experience assembling things, and I can tell you, most people will not be able to put this thing together from the current instructions. And even if they had good instructions, this thing literally came in so many pieces it will still take too much time. It's obvious I won't buy anything from this manufacturer again. But I'm really gonna try to not buy from Amazon anymore. I'm certain Walmart would have taken care of me better. I'll probably cancel my Prime subscription because of this.

The media could not be loaded. The still photo shows the slide support from the underside. This will be challenging to thread the small nuts to the bolt in a small groove in the design. The socket spanner will probably work best turning the assembly over or by standing it upright .Definately this will require two people. The top canopy assembly (not shown) is under tension when bringing the five metallic pieces together . This is a potential safety hazard if it slips during assembly. This could fly into someone’s face or mouth. The bolt holding this assembly is too short. I anticipate the product’s overall design will be sturdy and provide enjoyment for my granddaughter. I recommend Amazon to provide this feedback to the manufacturer.

My little guy needed something for outside to keep him busy. He wanted something with a slide and this has alot of things on it. You can put pillows on the bottom or make it a ball pit or sand pit. It would be perfect for a bedroom but he loves being outdoors. VERY sturdy and not too bad to put together.

Was not as hard to assemble as some reviews say. I did it with my 10 year old, it took about 2 hours but was a simple process. Will need 2 people for some steps. Best to read directions first. Once assembled, it has been an awesome precise and loved by kids 2-11 years old! Even wanted to us e it as a tent to camp out one night

I wish it was made out of better material very flimsy and also to put it together was hard and some pieces didn’t go like the slide where the bolts are suppose to connect do not go through the holes they are in two different places making to where you have to drill a different hole to have the slide a part of the fort
