It took a lot of work to get our set built. Twice we had to exchange parts including the main bar for the swings. However, the exchanges were easy since we only live 40 minutes away from the factory, and the customer service was so helpful and accommodating. We just called up and arranged to pick up non defective parts. It was well worth the work, though. We love our set. It is high quality, sturdy and virtually maintenance free.
