This swing set is just what I was looking for. I'm aware that for this price, you're not going to find a swing set that will last forever, but this should last at least a few years with young kids. It was relatively easy to put together, took about 4 hours for my family of 5 adults with some multitasking going on. The swing set is sturdy, but I do think it's best for young kids. When my husband or I try to swing (we're between 130 and 160 lbs) it gets a little squeaky and shaky, but it's perfect for kids.
