This swing set took us 3 days to put together— if our kids were older it might have been shorter. Overall, it was as simple as you would expect it to be to assemble a 17 feet long jungle gym that comes in a single flat pack box. It comes with two Allen wrenches which is great because . The only real issue that we had was attaching the ladder to the fort because even after drilling, the wood split on both sides. We will definitely need to make it sturdier so that was disappointing. Otherwise, we live it!
