We purchased this particular set because the one we originally purchased kept being delayed (over 4 months). The instructions are not great and the hardware bags are not labeled consistently with the instructions. My husband is a very handy guy and put this together by himself over a few 6 (ish) hour days (give or take). Things weren't perfect and he had to make a couple minor modifications. We really do love the way it came out. Now the bad...we are extremely disappointed to say that the swing set within two weeks of being set up has started to mold terribly. We are researching how to take care of this issue because this is not the type of equipment we want our grandchildren playing on! I've attached pictures. We are very disappointed in the quality of the wood. This is why I've given it only two stars. Without the mold issue I would have given a 4.5.
