Sportspower Super 8 Metal Swing Set Slide Component box 1 of 2

We love this set! It did take 5 hours for two adults to put it together, but we had no problem with the instructions and parts. Great, easy to understand directions. The kids love the disc swing and slide. We like that there are so many different things for them to choose to play on. Wonderful purchase for the money!

I love the swingset but I was very unhappy with a few things. The slide had 2 dents at the bottom and some of the holes for screws did not line up makeing it impossible to put some of the pieces together. My husband had to modify it just to be able to assemble it.

My family was beyond thrilled to finally purchase a swingset. After doing my research, I decided this would be the best option for our family members. The instructions clearly stated it would take approximately 2 1/2 hours to complete the assembly, being very capable carpenters - we thought that this would be no problem... boy we're we be disappointed. A large number of pieces did not have the proper hole ailment which would not allow our screws and bolts to be assembled. One of saucer chains was not threaded (which does not allow it to be assembled). The screws for the slide are way to short, not even long enough to go through the connecting pieces, let alone put a nut on the end to secure it in place. There were so many issues with assembly that it took us 7hours to do our best to correct issues and complete it!!!! What a disappointment. The entire day was gone and the kids had maybe 20 minutes to play on a particularly assembled play set. I now have to contact the manufacturer.

We bought this swing set for our house for our 3 kids, ages 1yr old, 3 year old and 11yr old. We didn't put the sea saw swing up yet, we have my son's infant swing in that place for now. But my kids love this set, they play on it for hours! My only 2 cons is one, the slide steps are soooo slippery when wet. (We have a pool in our backyard) We added sandpaper strips but this is only because my kids swim, then swing and back to the pool. Second con is the horse doesn't have a foot bar to get on or for balance while swinging, I believe your supposed to put your feet forward on its front bar maybe but my kids are small and won't be able to reach that for along time! We have a step stool under it so my kids can get on it without assistance, my husband is looking to add something to it but hadn't figured what just yet. We just recently purchased this for great Grama's house too for all the grandkids visiting. We really love this swing set!

I ordered this swing set for my 3 year old daughter. The flying saucer and the horse were what sold me! My husband and I were able to assemble both of them in the cool of our house before taking them outside to hang on the frame (very nice). Two things we did not like, however. Some of the bolts that held the horse together stuck out past the plastic holes and are leg scratches waiting to happen. We are going to buy some caps to cover them if possible (not included in the hardware). The last thing we needed to put together was the slide. We found that the factory failed to drill 4 holes in the slide so it could be attached to a cross bar. Thankfully my husband had a drill that could do the job, but it was not a good surprise as this was the last thing to do and the trying to get the drill to come in at a straight angle was very difficult on two of the holes. Other than the horse bolts and the lack of some of the holes on the slide it is a great set and one that will be used for years.
