I spent a lot of time searching for what we wanted in a playset - the first one on the list being a glider swing, which narrowed down the playset options quickly. We also wanted something that was relatively easy to put together, big enough for the kids to enjoy now and grow into without being huge, and some bonus things we wanted were a little side table for them to enjoy snacks outside, a steering wheel and a telescope were also on the "nice to have" list. This fit everything on the list! :)
We received it approximately a week after we ordered it, which I felt was pretty fast. I got an email with the scheduled delivery day, and then the delivery guys gave me a call when they were about 30 minutes away and were kind enough to put it into our garage. (where it sat for about 2 weeks until we had time to assemble it). It came in a neat, organized package with no damage.
The assembly was pretty straightforward - my husband took a day off work to organize parts and assemble. The instructions were very straightforward to use and he did most of the work alone, with me helping hold things together at just a few points. He was also able to skip steps and put the swings and slide on first, before other things, since the kids were eager to play on it. All parts were there and assembly was pretty easy. (this is great because reviews of other playsets we were considering said assembly was a huge headache).
We've only had it up for a couple days and it's gotten a lot of use already and the kids Love it! The rubber coating on the bottom half of the swing chains to avoid pinched fingers is a nice touch. The glider swing and other swings work great and the hardware for everything looks strong and sturdy. There are already a few hairline cracks in the swingset beam and a few other pieces but I'm not worried about it. We plan to stain and treat the wood every year. If you have a very young child (under 2 years old), the spaces on the ladder to climb up may be too far apart for them to climb alone.
My one complaint about the playset so far is the slide - because it's a straight molded plastic and not a wave style slide, the kids cannot climb up it, which they like to do, since it's super slippery and steep. Also since it's a straight slide, it is Super fast, almost too fast. My little one is already landing in the dirt because the slide is so fast. I don't mind some dirt and grass on their clothes, but I just hope they don't end up getting hurt because the slide is too fast.
I know this is a long review but hopefully someone else will benefit from it. :) Overall we are very happy with the playset and would chose it again!. Janis. Spartanburg, SC. 2020-03-19 07:08:36
