The worst quality of wood I have even seen!!! this is not cedar... is painted as cedar but looks like pine... also, the paint / first layer of wood is coming off only by touching the piece!!! and we haven't even finished assembling it... the pieces are horribly marked, so you lose most of your time trying to find the right piece... (btw, super hard to assemble... I wish I have paid a contractor to do it...). Buying this type of swing sets is not cheap and, unfortunately for my son, I think this swing set will last only a few months... time will say...
