We have had this swingset for 2 1/2 years now, and it is great!  I didn't realize we had to weatherproof it, so when it had mold growing on it after only a year, the company was gracious to send me several replacement pieces!  Now I re-stain and weatherproof it once a year.  The company also sent me metal hinges for the door, since the plastic strip hinge had broken.  My kids still love it!  A hurricane ruined the tarp, which I have yet to replace, and a little visitor accidentally broke the door latch.  However, the construction is still sturdy for the ages it is intended for.  My nine-year old likes to swing hard, which makes the wood creak.  We will be building a taller swingset for him soon.  All in all, I'm very happy with our purchase of this set!
