A swing set like this is an investment and is totally worth it! Putting it together is definitely a task, but if you have a couple friends to help it’s really not too bad at all, the directions are very clear and if you need to contact customer service they are extremely helpful. The wood is quality wood and so are the pieces and accessories. My grandkids (I have 3 ages 4-10) who get hours upon hours of play out of this, all the neighborhood kids want to come play at our house because of it lol. If you are looking for a swing set I definitely recommend this one!
