We LOVE this playset!  You would never guess that we bought ours over 15 years ago (with 2 additional baby swings).  It is still in excellent condition - even after entertaining 18 grandchildren and friends almost daily during the summers and every Sunday in nice weather.  Its magical ability to be a fort, a castle, a boat, a hideout, and so many other imaginative things has kept kids entertained for hours.  It has been the site for swinging contests, trapeze tricks, pinata parties, and contented babies!  Even the adults swing on it!  This playset has been and continues to be an investment in family memories.  AND we have never had to replace anything.  Thank you for a durable product!
