Great playset

Very nice play set -- installation was easy and instructions for the most part were easy to follow.

The swing set was assembled in four hours by 4 adults. Directions were clear for each section of assembly.

Very well-built & sturdy. The children should get numerous years of enjoyment.

Great, sturdy playset!

My husband and his friend just recently put up this play set for our two sons ages 4-10. I was excited to see the end result. However, the 9 foot slide is not actually as big as the description implies. The slide height was one of the main reasons why I decided to purchase this particular play set. Besides that misleading fact, it is a GREAT set for young children.

Great buy!

Jungle gym and swing set all in one. Our three boys ages 7-10 absolutely love it. It is very sturdy and very high quality materials. The kids love it.

Great Playset

The playset assembled in 4 hrs with just one person. I read earlier reviews about the hardware, and I only rounded off one bolt slightly; as the allen wrench was not seated perfectly. The directions were good and it assembled easily. The kids are enjoying it and it definitely seems worth the price.

Well worth the money

I was very impressed with the quality of the swing set. We purchased it for our daughters first birthday, and I am confident that she will be playing with it for years to come. It is very sturdy, and well worth the money. It took my husband and 3 other men an hour and a half to put it together. Everything was labeled nicely and instructions were easy to follow. I love that the swings have grips on the bottom of the chain to help protect their hands!

Amazing

So sturdy...this set will last forever. I am so glad that we went with a set that was not wood so we don't have to repaint every year or so. This was easy to put together, the instructions made every step very clear, and we finished in under 4 hours. There is so much for the kids to do and it doesn't take up very much space in our yard. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Hardware issue: they got the memo(?)

We just got this swing set, so this is a new purchase/set up review. It certainly appears to be made well. Took me less than 4 hours to assemble doing the whole job solo. Instructions were good. I was prepared to deal with junk bolts and hardware, but was pleasantly surprised. The manufacturer must have addressed this issue, I didn't have a bit of trouble with anything during assembly. If pressed to make a negative comment, I might say the swings seem to be close together (swing attachments are 11" apart). No other review has mentioned this, so it may not be a problem. They just look close enough the kids might bump each other. This topic should be under an "extended use" review anyway, which I'll try to update later. Haven't had the grand kids on it yet...

Great swing set

We live in AZ, so I did not want a wood play set that would fall apart in the sun. This play set is amazingly great quality. The monkey bars are really high, but my 3 and 2 year old will grow into them in a few years. Pretty easy to assemble, I just wish the screws were a little bit longer. They seemed to have resolved the previous issue with screws stripping.

Well made swingset!

Easy to put up, only took 3-4 hours long. Stripped a few bolts, but other than that it looks to be well made. Should give many hours of fun for our children for years to come!!

Sturdy, well made, excellent playset!

We LOVE this playset! Got it as a group gift for all our kids for Christmas, with their grandparents pitching in too. We considered many of the wood playsets but were concerned about quality and maintenance, as well as their restrictions with our oldest being 11 and tall for her age; none but this one have really good reviews, and once we saw that this had the primary things we were looking for - swings and monkey bars - we decided to go for it. Large gauge steel poles, 1000 pound limit, even our 11yo can swing on it, all of the kids can play on it at once and there's something for everyone. We are very pleased with this purchase! My husband and one other man put it together in 3.5 hours.

Awesome product!!!

Product was easy to install, done in a day. Very sturdy! Our 4 kids are going to love it!!

By HBailey on Home Depot - Dec 25, 2012

AWESOME

I was amazed at how well this thing is made. Kids love it. Others said the hardware was not great but I didn't notice any problems. I love this and I'll never have to stain this like my neighbors will......

By rudy on Home Depot - Aug 21, 2012

great swingset

my granddaughters love this swing set - and it only took 2 people about 3 hours to put together - and I mostly just read the directions. very sturdy and the girls love the monkey bars!

Monkey Bar Adventure Swing Set

We were very impressed with the quality of the swing set. The instructions were clear and the hardware was pre-packaged for each step of assembly. This made it super easy to construct. The Grandkids are having a ball!

Very sturdy playground

This thing is awesome. It is made of very sturdy material. I would totally put it at 5 stars except for the hardware. Holy mackeral it's bad. I read this on other reviews and figured I maybe could make it work. I would say 50% of the bolts are garbage. I ended up having to go to Ace hardware and getting replacement nuts and bolts to finish the job. I HIGHLY recommend you just go and get different bolts before you begin. I would think the manufacture would fix this problem since I am not the only one to say how horrible the bolts are and how much you pay for it you would think they'd be good. Although, I have to say my daughter loves it. It's worth the money and I would buy it again. It's definitely strong enough for your kids. Shoot, I play on it, too and I weigh 160lbs. Even if I weighed more it'd be good. I am not saying you should exceed the max weight but it's super strong. I cannot recommend this play set enough - just as I cannot recommend to get better hardware enough!!

Kids are really enjoying the playset

Putting together it together was not tough, with the exception of aligning the barrel bolts through the plastic end caps. It was mostly put together by one person, but was helpful if not necessary to finish up with two people. Especially when placing the playset in its final location. Directions were clear and all the parts were included.

Nice sturdy swingset

All in all a nice quality set that our kids, 12, 11 and 4, can play on with their friends without fear of tipping, splinters, rust etc. The slide is fast! The only problem we had during installation was that some of the bolts and screws stripped easily. We are happy with our purchase.

By trish on Home Depot - Dec 27, 2011

waS VERY STURDY ,EXCEPT FOR SOME OF THE BOLTS.

It is a nice sturdy set. There was a few bolts that stripped out and some didn't have any threads in them at all. Other tthan that very nice.
