Our kids grandparents and great grandparents bought the swing set for our kids, for Christmas. I have an industrial maintenance background and am a handy man on the side. With that said it took myself, father, and father in law around 16 hours to assemble this thing. The cedar boards definitely make me want to reinforce the base at the top of the slide. My 4 year old likes to jump there and I can see the floor bow every time. Also if two children are swinging at the same time (two older kids in the neighborhood around 7 years old each) the hole “tree house” sways. I plan to find ways of reinforcing the hole structure, so I am more comfortable because it’s just two bolts holding up the swing set. I’m not sure how long this thing will last but it does look nice.
