Weeks of research, dozens of websites, hundreds of reviews and we ended up with the Sequoia Swing Set and couldn't be happier. Our needs/requirements for a swingset:1. 3 kids (soon to be 4) ages 6, 4 and 22. We wanted something all kids could use but wouldn't be too small/babyish for our oldest and her friends.3. Budget was between $750-$1000Why we chose this set:1. Price. Yes, it was more than our original budget [..]2. Features. Three swings were a must. The two slides was a great idea, the kids love to race up the ladders/rock wall and try to beat each other down the slides. The three different ways to climb up are awesome too. The picnic table underneath one of the clubhouses was a pleasant surprise. Never really a feature we considered but love it in the end. It's so nice to bring snacks/lunch down and enjoy them in the shade of the clubhouse overhead. We've yet to fill up the sandbox but my son (2) keeps saying that's his favorite part. I'm quite sure it will be once we fill it. The monkey bars were an added bonus too because my oldest has been trying to conquer those as of late and despite her maddening frustration at not being able to get across, she still loves them and runs to them first. Cons:1. Of course it's going to take a long time to set up. It's a huge swing set! All the usual advice applies: separate your hardware ahead of time and label it, set aside a weekend and call a friend or two in to help. It took my husband about 16 hours total to put it together. He had help for the first 6 hours of the first day and about 2 hours of help for the second day. The rest of it he did all by himself. The biggest reason to have a second set of hands (other than to get it done quicker) is because of sheer logistics. The first thing you assemble is the clubhouses and then the pieces underneath them. It's quite tall, you need someone to hold pieces in place at different times.2. The swings seem a little close together to me. I keep trying to gauge them against other commercial and residential sets I see and they seem on par with other sets. But I've got a 4 year old who always manages to swing crooked so I've just taken extra notice of it.3. The monkey bars are metal anchored in what looks like a wooden ladder before it is mounted underneath the bridge between the clubhouses. The rungs still turn even after the set is complete. Needless to say, it doesn't make it any easier to learn how to maneuver monkey bars.4. The picnic table is big enough to fit an adult or two just beware when trying to get to it. It's a little bit of a trick to get to it under the ladder side, so I would suggest going under the slide.Other Things To Consider:1. Some people have suggested labeling the wood pieces with chalk. If you have the time and a place to put the wood, go ahead and do it. The pieces are all stamped with a reference number on the end, but it's quite difficult to read so having another reference isn't a bad idea. However, we just put the wood out on the lawn, pairing up similar size pieces and went from there. When all is said and done, it probably added an extra half hour or a little more to the total construction time.2. If you sort the hardware ahead of time (DO IT!) wear gloves! Rubber gloves, leather gloves, anything that will protect your hands from scrapes and cuts. I found that out a little too late into the process. Oh and since they appear to separate pieces into separate bags, I would go through everything before bothering to count. I would count one piece and then stumble across a handful of loose pieces that matched later on. So there was a lot of crossing out numbers on my ziploc bags.3. It can't hurt to have some extra hardware on hand. I'm not sure what we needed more of, but there was something we had to run to the store for. So either have it on hand or have your helping buddy pick up some of the more basic hardware pieces on their way over.4. We placed a white plastic tarp on our lawn to put all the baggies of hardware on and it proved to be a good idea. In the rush of construction sometimes extra pieces were thrown back onto the tarp. If they were tossed or fell onto the grass, they were pretty much lost. Especially the first night when my husband worked on the set until 9pm. 5. It's very sturdy. We've not had a single problem with stability. All three kids have been swinging like crazy and not nudged the set a bit. And myself and my husband have both sat on the swings (at the same time) and not had a problem with our weight. We also had two grown men in the clubhouses during construction... so it will hold quite a bit of weight.All in all, great swingset, great price, great service. We are very happy, our kids love it and it's great having our own little playground in the backyard."..."  Read more

We bought the swing as a 3rd swing option in our backyard so that each of our 3 kids could be swinging at once. Our other 2 swings hang from tree branches so this is our first stand alone swing. It's a well-made swing and is perfect for our 3 and 4 year olds. My 6 year old can get the legs swaying to and fro so he doesn't enjoy it as much, but we didn't expect more from a simple swing set at this price point. It is a wonderful swing for preschoolers."..."  Read more

I researched all over the place to find a perfect swing set for our son (2 and a half years old). I have read lots of reviews from other companies' swing sets and people complained how difficult it was to put parts together. This swing set was so easy to put together since all of wooden parts had numbers. Yes, it did take one and a half day for my husband and myself, but I was 9 months pregnant. Not only my son loves it, but we (adults) enjoy this swing sets very much."..."  Read more

We found a company in Michigan that puts swingsets together to assemble ours ([...]). They had it done in a day for $400. It was totally worth it! All the pieces were included which I hear doesn't happen often. The quality is top notch. Kids creations is right up there with Rainbow in my opinion. The kids in the hood LOVE it! We have had hours of fun and the summer just started! I love that I swing right along with the kids w/ no worry and I'm not skinny! We're probably going to order a glider and we added a baby swing."..."  Read more
