I bought this swing set last year. I like the concept of having a swing set with a trampoline attached to the side but there are some problems. First, the canopy to block the sun snapped within the first hour of being put it, and it was from a light breeze, it wasn't caused by heavy winds or rain. Second the swings are tiny, they are made from hard molded plastic and cannot fit a child over the age of 9 or 10. It says made for children ages 3-8, and thats what it means. Anyone a little tall or heavy over the age of 8 will not be able to fit onto the swing. Other than that it seems pretty sturdy. My little kids (ages 1 and 3) enjoy it very much, my older kids (petite age 8 and 10) wont be able to use it for much longer .
We met some difficulity putting this set together. The swings and slide went together some what smoothly, but you have to read the assembly instructions and follow them closely. The nuts and bolts come package quite nicely in a blister pack identifying each piece. Hardware is metric gauge and we used a metric ruler to confirm bolt sizes. The spinner attachment was difficult to assemble as the support bars fir poorly and were difficult to assemble. The handles for climbing up the slide are also poorly placed with no handles at the top of the ladder to grab hold of. It appears that they design the ladder up side down with handles just inches off the ground where they should be at the top. The awning has no drain holes so when it rains deep pockets of water collect in the lower apex. I contacted the company about these concerns and they stated they would send new support arms and an extra set of handles to retro fit on the ladder. As of this writing nothing has arrived and I do not expect them to. This has the potential of being a solid play set for kids but again it is a challange to assemble. Would not recommend until the problems are corrected.
I did a lot of unnecessary assembly/dis-assembly due to "discovering which piece goes where. Instructions could be a LOT better. Where the instruction sheet specs three lengths of the same bolt, what was received was the correct quantities but of the longest version of that bolt. That makes putting the protective caps on impossible or nearly so. I will have to saw each of the long bolts off to allow snapping the cap shut. I found that if I tried to snap the ones that looked "close" that the cap would break away from the backing and make it unusable. The canopy is cute but we cannot find one single reason for it. It casts a crescent shaped shadow away from the Swing Set that does nothing for the kids. I bought a baby seat for my youngest granddaughter and put it in place of the trapeze. The set itself is pretty nice, and our grand kids are very happy with the finished product.
I bought this swingset after looking at several online. It meets all our needs and is a very sturdy set. I have an 8 year old and a 7 year old on the autism spectrum. They love to jump, spin, and swing, so...this is perfect. They have been on it every day since we purchased it a month ago. My boys just love their new swingset, and I have become "super mom" in their eyes! LOL
This swingset is very well packaged -- all the parts are identified by letter/number and the hardware is stretch-wrapped and separated by number. The directions are both pictures and words -- and everything is grouped by section (swings, spin thing, slide, trampoline.) It took me (mom) about 5 hours to put this together with my three kids helping. My 5 year old is on this every day! I agree with the age recommendations, as >8 would not fit so well. However, it's very sturdy for a group of 5 year olds. We're very happy with this purchase and will get years of play from it.
