[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of other reviewers have correctly addressed this play set's quality. It's real wood (light wood, but real) and the hardware isn't so cheap that I'm left concerned it's going to corrode after two seasons and fall down.
My main beef with the thing was the packaging and setup instructions. My wife, father-in-law, and I got it done in about 10 hours total, but that could EASILY have been 6 or 7 hours if we didn't have to spend so much time sorting through hardware. The wood is labeled well enough. There are a lot of pieces, so at first you'll spend a little time searching for the right one, but as the pile thins, that becomes easier.
But the hardware? I thought it was a joke! The hardware (of which there is a ton) comes in three boxes. There are easily several hundred pieces, including all the bolts, nuts, screws, washers, lock washers, t-nuts, and screws - and apart from a few things that were pre-bagged, it was all just LOOSE HARDWARE.
Then, adding insult to injury, the labels for the hardware in the instructions don't match the printing on the hardware itself. You're forced to actually measure the bolts to make sure you're getting the right size. And it's not like there were 10 four-inch bolts and 20 eight-inch bolts. There's at least 8 sizes, many of which differ from each other by only a quarter or half of an inch.
Toward the end of the build, we were left with two bolts of slightly different sizes, one of which was too small for its intended application, resulting in a hardware store run. End of the world? No, but so completely preventable. At that point in the process, there was no way of knowing if we'd not received the right number of bolts or if we'd used one incorrectly six hours before. Asking the buyer to sort through all the carriage and hex bolts on their own to inventory what they received against the packing list is burdensome and silly. With a few extra labels and plastic bags, Gorilla could make this a lot easier. But no, they just dump all the metal parts in a couple of boxes and say good luck.
All in all a good set, but either count all 500 pieces before you begin or have a hardware store in mind to hit up when you find out you're missing one critical part.. wesleyheath. Taylor Mill, KY. 2021-03-30 01:01:04
