I bought this for my grandkids mainly for the Monkey Bars.  They love it! I already have a swingset. My Grandkids wanted Monkey Bars and I found this set to be a great deal. It was costing alot more trying to buy individual Monkey Bars and buying this setup turned out to be a deal. I just left off the swings and place the set to one side of my swingset. One of the ladder boards had a large split so I emailed the company, included pictures and I got a quick response. Customer service was quite prompt and they shipped me out a new board and hardware to complete the ladder. This setup is quite sturdy after I staked it to the ground, with the included ground stakes. I added rings in place of the swings and it is a hit with all the kids.
