Gorilla PlaySets Sundance

I read the old review on this web page and decided to take on the big project. All in the name of your kids :) I figured it would be something for them to do for 5 minutes out of the day and then they would soon say they were bored. Well let me tell you my hubby was not bored when he put this monster together. You must read carefully all the directions. I say this because he put up a board backwards and had to unscrew things and made holes in places that weren't suppose to have holes. The play structure has pretty much everything a kid could want. Just make sure that you are ready to hear your kid say a hundred times to you "is it done yet", "when is it done?" and then barely play on it afterwards because he would raither be playing the wii.

I researched like crazy for weeks trying to find just the right playset for my kids. I wanted one that wouldn't fall apart in a few years, would be safe for them to play on, and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. I found it in this amazing set! At first I was leery buying it from Walmart, because I wasn't sure if the quality would be the same as buying it from a store that specializes in playsets or directly from the manufacturer. But, I am happy to say that the quality is incredible! My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it, and I feel confident that they are safe! I know that many of the other reviewers talked about how difficult it was to put together. I was worried about this, since my husband is very computer savvy, but not incredibly handy. So I had a professional assemble it and it only took an hour and a half!!! If you are in the NJ, NY, CT, PA, DE area I highly recommend Dan's Swingset Installation Services. I couldn't be happier that I chose this playset! I highly recommend it!

After much 'analysis paralysis' on a playset purchase for my 3 kids - I decided on this one. The price was right for the quality. It was made of cedar which was my preference as was the A-frame design - I thought it would be easier to assemble - than 'square fort' - and level in our very unlevel yard! We reviewed the components and parts to ensure we had all the pieces - everything was there. It went up easily and we were abnoxiously grateful for the 'self leveling' swing beam! Two of the boards were split, more than I would like - so I will follow up with Gorilla on this. For the money - I think the quality is great - it has lots of activities for my kids - 3, 4, and 7 and they are truly enjoying it. Another reason why its great is that it only takes up physical space of 12x15 feet. I was pleasantly surprised with its compactness!

We searched (and searched) the internet and some play-set showrooms before deciding on this set for our children (ages 3 and 4 1/2)and we could not be more pleased! For the price, we feel we received a high quality set that will last for years. The wood is thick and strong, very heavy set. It has so much for the kids to play on: the tire swing is great and not all sets have them. We purchased add-ons (A glider swing & half-bucket swing, because our kids are smaller.) We figure the kids will use the trapeze when they get bigger and we have the 2nd belt swing for when our younger child grows out of the bucket swing.This is a set they will not outgrow too soon. Although it has been up for less than 24 hours it has already been in use for a few hours and I know the kids will use it every day, weather-permitting. Assembly: 2 of us (non-handy people, while watching our kids) and a 3rd very handy person had it done in the course of a day (under 12 hours.) It could be done in less time if not watching the little ones :-) TIPS:1)Inventory your hardware and parts 2) Inventory and check all lumber. We sorted the lumber and labeled each stack of like items, or singles with post-it notes & sharpie--it really helped 3) Have the right tools: an impact wrench is ESSENTIAL--I can not imagine trying to do this with a manual , the wood is very thick! Also, a strong/impact drill is beneficial. We had a weaker drill to drive in the wood screws and would need to pre-drill pilot holes, but with the impact drill we powered through and it really saved time. 4) Read the instructions:(Obviously, I know, but so important)Take the time to read through all of the steps briefly beforehand and then read each step all the way through before starting that step. The instructions --for the most part--are clear, well-written and easy to follow.

I ordered this swing set from WalMart.com last summer, and couldn't be happier. The instructions were a bit long and tedious, but two adult males can put this thing together in one day as long as you schedule for it. When it arrived, some of the hardware was missing. We had all the right hardware, but there were 24 bolts when there should've been 28 or something along those lines. A quick trip to the hardware store solved that problem. I did contact the company about the missing hardware, and informed them that some of the plastic protectors that go over the ends of the bolts were missing. While on the phone with them, I also inquired about how to order more rocks for the rock-wall. The representative was very apologetic that I didn't receive all the hardware and promptly shipped out ALL of the hardware once again. She also went ahead and sent me another set of the rocks for the rock-wall, free of charge. All in all, great quality product with a 10 year warranty on the structure. My son has spent MANY hours playing and climbing on this thing, and I only see that increasing the older he gets.
