We've had this swing set for over 2 years and it still looks great with no rust or damage. Install took about 2-3 hours with my husband and I doing it together with our kids "helping" us. The kids love the spiderweb swing the most! I love that feature and the net still looks great. This isn't the cheapest swing set on the market, but it's really well made and will last for a long time. It's worth paying for quality, especially with something kids will be using.
