I purchased this unit for my grandson. It shipped the same day and arrive in mint condition. The packaging of the materials was far beyond my expectations. Someone did a superior job designing the packaging! Assembly was incredibly easy if you read the directions. I am still amazed at the quality of this swing set. FAR superior to anything I imagined and a great value. This is not cheap quality! I recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a high quality unit that will last. Thank you Backyard Discovery.
