My son's preschool has one of these, and when I went shopping, I discovered that it's a consumer play set, not commercial. I was glad to find it, as I didn't want a play set that I had to stain and seal every year, and other metal sets I saw for sale seemed cheap. This one is solid and has a commercial-quality feel to it.

I hired a handy woman that I've used before to put the set together. I made a set of tips that I copied from the review sites, and using them, she was able to put it together herself in 8.5 hours. I have a very level yard, so there were no issues with holes lining up as other reviewers mentioned. The company could save a lot of support dollars by spending a little on a good technical writer and updating their instructions with the tips from the reviewers.

The only issue I've seen is that one top knot that secures the climbing net was frayed and the fibers split, right out of the box. Otherwise, the set has been flawless. The boys play on it every day.
