Took me about 7 hours. Pretty sturdy. I appreciate the simplicity even though it’s a couple hundred pieces lol. Plastic stakes in ground and not wooden. Love it

Well built, easy installation
Overall im happy with this product. The framing is sturdy, they actually send you spare fasteners, they organize the pieces well so finding what you need is easy, the instructions are well written. My only disapointmemt (so far) is the flags are so cheaply made they are already falling apart 3 days since i put this together.

      Solid Construction & Great Installation Guide
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We put together the play set over Labor Day weekend with the help of three adults. Overall it took about 7 hours of actual work. The play set was delivered with no damages parts and was very well labeled. Even the hardware was well labeled! The instructions were hands down the best set of instructions I’ve ever used. The play set itself is wonderful. We have a 14 yo, 2.5 yo, and newborn. It was very important that all of them could play together on this set. In particular we were concerned with getting a swing set that could handle an adult height/weight so our 14 year old ++ could join the little kids on the swings. At 130lbs and 5’ 4” she easily swings on the set no issue or strain on the swing bar. Height wise getting into the club area is a challenge for her but swinging was our main concern. The set is solid and with maintenance via the staining I have no double it will last for all three kids.

          Just what we wanted.
          Perfect for our two young grandsons (2 & 4 yrs). Came in 3 boxes from our local HD, fit easily in back of my truck. Took three easy 8 hour sessions to assemble; first 8 hours painting on the sealer beforehand, then 2 more sessions to assemble (would have gone faster without my little helpers). Highly recommend sorting out the bags of screws in advance. We easily swapped sides for the swing beam & rock wall. We added a picnic bench in place of sandbox. Glad we got the wood top.

            Will not last very long
            I've only had the play set up for a couple months now and the pictures show it all. The flags lasted one week. The tarp ripped 3 weeks in. HomeDepot won't let me show more than 6 photos but just about every board is already cracking/splitting. This will clearly not last 1 whole year (especially with Iowa weather), let alone the 10 years its supposed to be under warranty for. Definitely not worth the price at all.

              Amazing fun for Twin 5 yr olds!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The quality of the materials, the multiple features, the over all value, what's not to like? This will bring fun enjoyment to my almost 5 year old twins (and dog!) for years to come!

                  Bad customer service
                  At first the swingset seemed good. But we only had it up 2 wks when some wind blew it over & destroyed a lot of it. We had it staked & everything so I think there must be a flaw in the craftsmanship of this. None of our patio furniture or other things in our yard got damaged by the wind- just this. So I contacted customer service to get replacement pieces. It took over a month to finally get them and we had to pay almost half the price of the whole thing! Very unhappy with the customer service.

                    Very nice swing set
                    I like the swing set. And only reason for taking a star away is that the wood seems very soft, so not sure how it will hold up within the years to follow (between heat/cold, rain and snow).

                    Just what we needed!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After reviewing other playsets this one not only had better reviews but just what we were looking for. All the boards were labeled and holes were accurately drilled. I laid all the boards out according to their label which helped quite a bit. It took 2 days to complete but could have been completed in in one if it hadn't been for rain delays. It's been up for about a week and the grandkids have been enjoying it every day!

                        Beautiful Product
                        I purchased this swing set and I am totally satisfied. I was skeptical at first because I have an almost 7 year old, and I wanted to purchase a swing-set that wouldn’t be too small for her to stand up in. My children are extremely happy as well. The set looks expensive and heavy duty. We love it!

                          Fast shipping and Excellent product
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried about long shipping times (everything is having shipping issues lately), but this set was about 10 days from order to my driveway. I was amazed. It took my husband and I about three days (not working non-stop) and I sealed it after about two weeks. Husband was a little irritated by hardware packaging (being in different locations in the shipping/some bagged/some boxed, but all the necessary parts were there in the end. We love the set!

                                  Instructions very clear, material was in good condition and not banged up considering it shipped freight. Would recommend this to anyone getting a play set.

                                    Quality product!
                                    Bought this in early March and it came within a few weeks. Very manageable install w two people, but plan a weekend (2 days 4-6 hours each day). Definitely organize the parts and pieces prior and do yourself a favor and get a socket wrench drill bit to attach to your drill! Set was great quality, everything pre drilled and instructions were fairly straightforward. Kids have been loving playing on it and the tube slide is a great addition to the standard slide.

                                        The swingset came faster than the estimated time, so that was a nice surprise. Once we got all of the hardware organized building it was pretty easy, because the instructions were great. Took 2 adults probably about 12 hours total to put together over a weekend. The kids love it and the neighbors have complimented us on it.

                                            Looks great!
                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago, and finally got it set up. It looks so great! Took 3 of us 8.5 hours to put together. Power tools are an absolute must in order to make short work of this project. If you don’t have a power drill, invest in one. It made a world of difference. My only complaint is that the not all of the wood pieces were labeled with the right inventory label, so we had to stop and measure to make sure we were using the right pieces, but that wasn’t a big deal. It would have also been nice if all of the different screw sizes and types were divided into separately labeled bags. Some were in bags and others were not, so we had to stop and measure at times when we needed a different length. Overall I’m impressed with how quickly we got the project done.

I felt she needed a place to play without us having to sanitize, due to present conditions. We are very happy with our purchase. My Granddaughter spends hours out there playing & getting us all out in the back to play with her.
