Customer Reviews
First, this shipped quickly. If you’re looking for a swing set during this Covid spring where all swing sets are sold out, Amazon currently states it typically ships in 2-3 weeks. Ours shipped within a week and we had it within a week and a half. (It shipped from GA and we are in MN.)Bear in mind we’ve only had this up for a day, so can’t speak to the longevity. But we found it to be a great set.This took my husband maybe six hours to put together total, even with the “help” of a two-year-old. We did not have any missing parts (but we did have tons of screws and an extra bracket left over.) The directions were not crystal clear at times, and in fact there was a booklet and a leaflet in the box, both with instructions which sometimes contradicted one another. This didn’t seem like a big deal since anyone with the tools to build this kit will have enough know-how to navigate the vagueness.The drill bit provided is too short to reach all the way through the crossbeam. You will need your own drill bit.My husband did have to countersink the bolts that hold the A-frames to the crossbeam, as the ones provided are too short. This isn’t mentioned in the directions. However, the rest of the bolts provided (for the swing hangers) were of adequate length, and the whole swing hanger setup seemed revised compared to what older reviewers complained about. The swings attach with D-rings so it’s very easy to swap out if you have additional play equipment.My husband added a small crossbeam toward the top of each A-frame to make this a little easier to move. Assembled, it is extremely heavy. (We will not be anchoring it.)The play equipment itself appears to be heavy duty and good quality. The plastic is smooth without any sharp edges from plastic molds you sometimes see on cheap plastic products. The coating on the chains seems great. The trapeze and rings are only rated for 115 pounds, so keep this in mind if you have older or larger children. The swings are comfortable even for me, but flex/hug my two-year-old enough that he feels secure.We also bought a two-person glider (and glider hangers) separately, shown in photo (which is inexplicably, irreversibly upside down.)
