I want to emphasize that this is a spectacular swingset. It was complicated to assemble, but reasonable considering the size. Just make sure you plan a full day or two if you have consistent help. It was about what I expected. The only problem I had is the boxes were missing one of the hardware bags (some roof hardware). The missing bag is not listed on the packing list, but it is mentioned in the instructions. I suspect everybody who buys this set will be missing this bag because of it lacking on the packing list. Even with the missing bag, I would give this set 5 STARS except they said I would have it in 4 to 6 days and it has taken 10 days. Considering I am building this for my in-laws and I am from out of town, this is a big problem because it doesn't leave me with a lot of time to finish. SPECTACULAR SWINGSET though.
