Gorilla Playsets 01-1057 Playmaker Deluxe Wooden Swing Set with Vinyl Canopy Roof, Dual Wave Slides, and Rock Climbing Wall, Redwood Stained Cedar

This thing is a hella beast!! It took my carpenter brother in law and another carpenter an entire day to put it together but it is amazing. Very sturdy. Parts are clearly marked and stamped. It did have a few bolts/screws missing but easily rectified. The quality is great and I did order the baby swing and the teeter totter to switch out and they are great too. Best money ever spent for my grandchildren. If you buy one, get an experienced person to assemble it.

Playset arrived on the scheduled day about an hour ahead of scheduled time. Before assembly, I brought out a couple large tables and put all the required tools on one table and all the parts on another. I had one other person helping me and we are both relatively handy and have plenty of power tools. We set up the tables at 8:30am and had the tower and swingset up by 1:00pm. Complete assembly and cleanup was done by 5pm. The directions were pretty easy to follow and all the parts were there in acceptable condition.The playset is cedar and seems to be very sturdy. It is also astetically pleasing once complete. The only issue I had was 4 out of 6 rungs on the climbing wall split a little bit while I was hammering the t-nuts into the back of the wood. This was partially my fault as I left a little space between the ground and the rung while hammering, but if the directions would have had me put the t-nuts in before screwing the rungs to the ladder the splits would have been avoided. So be careful during those two steps. Other than that everything went perfectly. If using powertools, also be very careful not to overtighten because you will split wood.One thing I have left to do is weather seal the wood. I would have done this before assembly but time constraints did not allow it. The directions say to do it after a few months of use, but I think the sooner the better. Especially in a humid climate.Overall the playset exceeded my expectations and was easy to assemble. Having a helper definitely was necessary, at least until the tower and swingbeam with A-frame are assembled. After that it is mostly cosmetic and one person could do it if they had time and are somewhat handy. Only challenge left for me is to keep the kids out of the backyard so we can surprise them this weekend at their birthday party.

Other than a few minor things, we are very pleased with this playset. It took my husband, his brother, and his dad about 5-6 hours to assemble. He said the instructions were very detailed. It is really sturdy and looks great. My 2.5 year old absolutely loves it. The tower part easily held 2 grown men when both my husband and his brother were in it to do the roof.There were a few negatives, though. Some of the boards of the rock wall were split. I read another review that said to watch when you're attaching the rocks because the wood might split, but ours was split when it came. Also, we had 2 wood pieces missing. Apparently you can email the manufacturer, though, and they will ship any missing pieces. Luckily ours were only minor pieces that were missing, and they could easily work around not having them.After I ordered this playset, I found other sets on Amazon that were cheaper and that looked just as good, but now that this set came and I saw how nice it really is, I'm very glad we got it.

My GKinds love their new swingset!! The time to put it together was fairly accurate by the manufacturer. However getting pneumatic tools for the assembly added to the ease, one note watch the initial instructions, if you see things don’t align you may have turned the base upside down. We found this out but once we saw the issue, smooth sailing from there. Two people completed it in about 8-10 hours. Starting the assembly in the drive way then moving parts to the wooded location. A few extra pieces left over but that never hurts on this big of project!! Kids are 10 and 4. Using it for years to come!!

Not even a full month of having this playset and we noticed a crack going all the way across the top where the swings are. I reached out to the manufacturer and they never responded. My daughter is two and doesn’t even weigh 30 pounds so there is no over the weight limit there. It’s been almost two months now that we have had this play set and we’ve noticed multiple cracks all over in the wood. This is not settling very well with me

We started sorting out the pieces and parts to set up the playground and realized it was missing all the hardware. All the bolts, screws, the top tarp, the chalk board, I mean it was missing a lot. The box was also damaged upon delivery and opened. So we called Amazon (super helpful and professional) they had a replacement sent. Which took a couple weeks to arrive. But this second box was not opened so all the pieces were there. Took two people about 8 hours to assemble. Overall happy with the new set. Besides the issues with missing pieces at first amazon did a great job getting us a new set delivered and the old set retured. I think the structure itself is sturdy and durable. My child is happy. So we're happy.

This arrived the day it said it would, did not need to replace any parts, was able to put it up with just a couple of guys. Kids love it, slides are great they don't send the kids flying off so no concern with injuries. A very good addition to my backyard

Overall, This took about 6 hours to put together, with 3 people. Not as bad as some of the other reviews I’ve read. We were expecting rain all day today, so we started it last night and built most of the tower. This morning, we finished everything up except for adding a few of the accessories before the rain came. I did swap out the swings for a double swing and a toddler swing for now. Everything seems super sturdy and it fit my space almost perfectly! My kids already love it, even though they only got to play on it for a few minutes so far. My toddler cried as I pulled her off in the rain to go inside!
