XDP RECREATIONFun Forever Swing Set, 96680G, Gray

I was beyond impressed with this swing set! The directions were clearly outlined. The parts were easy to locate. That being said there were A LOT of parts. Thank goodness we sent the kids off to a party and then kept them inside while we put it together so the little hands didnt help. It took two of us working steady for 5-6 hours to put it together. We used our own tools (although they provide some ok tools) Read the directions carefully. at each step and you will be fine. Some things of note. 1. the foam around the bottom of the poles makes it difficult to anchor in concrete... the slide also doesnt attach well when the legs are sunk into concrete. You could choose a different way to anchor the swing set. 2. you can put the slide on either side just pay attention to where you put the crossbar with the holes. Our accidentally ended up on the wrong side. 3. The circle swing is a pain to put together. we had to work hard together to get it put together. All in all though I could not be more excited about the swing set! I think we are going to see many years of fun! It is shockingly sturdy for the price! Perfect for a family preschoolers and elementary age children. Would probably not be a good idea for larger children in upper elementary and middle school because the swings and slide would be a little small

This is a nice swingset I have bought several and this is the best one. It's large the kids love to swing. It was easy to assemble. The price was decent The swingset is made of stainless steel so it's very sturdy and will support a lot of weight and will last a long time!!

Seems a bit flimsy fir the price and would have thought it was a bit taller

It can be put together alone with power tools and a lotta determination, and maybe a step ladder if you're shorter. The hardest part of assembly was the basket swing and the slide. Every part was labeled and the directions were pretty clear and easy to read (probably easier if the child it's for isn't trying to 'help' like mine was and walking off with pieces to put them in different places 🤦😅). Preferably, it's a two person job and should take about 2-3 hours with power tools. If you're trying to do it solo it may take longer even with power tools.Once together and anchored properly, it's sturdy and good quality. Shipping was good, arrived on time directly to my front door. No damage during transit.

My wife and I put this together fairly easily - the instructions were easy to follow and made sense. Our kids hopped on it immediately after we finished, and we didn't notice any kind of buckling or anything with their weight added to it (roughly 100# total). I weigh 190 and sat on the swings with my feet up, and nothing buckled or fell apart, so I think this will manage two kids for awhileDefinitely buy some anchors, though. Overall, it's pretty light (especially compared to our last wooden playhouse setup), and before we anchored it down I could easily rock the legs off the ground just by pushing it with one arm. We put corkscrew anchors on every leg and it doesn't move at all, even with both of them swinging on it.

The hump that appeared at the top of the swing,it was bent.

Like many, we were desperate to buy something our kids could enjoy during the pandemic. We settled on this play set because the reviews were decent and the price was right. As usual, you get what you pay for.After owning it for about two months, several of the bolts have bent to the point of replacement, the attached slide has allowed the bolt and/or the hit to pass through the plastic, many of the plastic caps that are meant to cover the bolts are broke or won’t snap shut (even the ones on top that my kids can’t reach), the foam guards are ripping, and rust has already begun to form at several connecting points.A couple of notes: my kids aren’t American chunks (75 lbs is the top weight of my heaviest child) and all are 8 and under. Secondly - yes, I put it all together correctly per instructions. I’m the guy that organizes everything as it comes out of the box and follows the instructions exactly.If you are desperate and buy this set anyways, please check the hardware weekly (daily wouldn’t hurt) as the bolts will fail eventually. I have already replaced many of mine with grade 8 from the local hardware store. They truly don’t make things like they used to.

Great swing set my grandchildren love it. It is hard to put together
