We have had this playset for about a year.  I researched playsets for what felt like an eternity and finally settled on this one because of reviews and features as well as cost.  My husband put it together himself with a little help from me and a couple brother-in-laws but did most of the work himself.  It took him about two solid days, however, he had little difficulty.  Instructions and parts were clear which made it easier.  My kids love it!!  It is very solid and does not rock at all even with 5 plus kids on it and all swings being used at once.  It looks just as good now as it did a year ago.  We made a great choice and would recommend it to anyone!!!
