Swing Town Sequoia Swing Set - MA3200

I think the wood should come weatherproofed because it added a day to assembly. This swing set is big and a great value for its size!

After alot of research, we chose this set. For the money this set has good play value. Details:As most sets are, this has soft thin wood. Some boards came with cracks in it. Ss suggested, layout all wood and hardware. Numbers stamped on side were about 50% legible. I used chalk to write the numbers on them. biggest tip = put in ALL T-nuts in first, got a little tough hammering when I was up the the towers. Measure and double check all boards and hardware, may are very very similar. The two towers and two slides make this set cool for the kids. The shade/roof is very low, left it off and plan on devising a higher style.

For the money, there is no better deal out there. Took awhile to put together. Modifications to many pieces were necessary. All measurements of boards not correct. Swings are too close together, and can be dangerous if kids are not constantly told to stay straight on swing. I still have not put up ladder due to not receiving a replacement yet. Deplorable customer service from manufacturer. Now over thirty days from purchase, still no chain ladder. Kids LOVE it anyway. It is now the gathering point of the neighborhood, and many neighbors have literally stopped their cars to say how great it looks. I like to think it's also because of the enormous level platform I had to create to be able to put this in my sloped yard. No cover for sand box, but easy to create from some plywood pieces to keep the cats out. All in all a great finished product, if it ever gets finished.

As with all swing set of this calibur putting it together was a beatting! We own a construction company & had one of our framing crews put it together & it took them about 12 hrs. if that tells you anything. The instructions were not easy to follow...there has got to be a easier way to direct people while assembling. However, now that it is assembled it is FABULOUS!! Well worth the money & honestly one of the cheaper priced ones I've found anywhere. My kids are 3 & 5 & have hours of fun on it. Absolutely recommend, but just know going it that assembly will be a whippin'.

It is the compressed cedder wood several people are complaining about but then again so is EVERY swing set they sell anywhere! Unless you buy the lumber yourself that's what you're going to get. Having said that all my boards came in usable shape. The hardware is a different story, missing quite a few bolts, nutts, and screws. Fortunately those things are very cheap at any hardware store so I didn't have to wait to get them from the manufacturer. Took about a week of working on it a bit every night after work. Do be warned though, the instructions are wrong in some places. They flip flop the placement of the towers several times. It can get a bit confusing but as long as you pay attention and do everything you should such as sorting matterials a d reading the directions in detail first you should be fine. It was pretty easy to put together, and definitely worth it. My 2 yr old and the other kids on my mommy group love it! I'm keeping the plans and when the wood starts to warp or we move I intend to rebuild it using lumber from home depot. It really is a great set.

After much research and evaluation, we purchased this playset. Here are my thoughts: Wood is pretty, but soft, some boards did have decent sized cracks in them. YES, sort wood, check to make sure they are just like the pictures, some are very close in size. I didn't sort the hardware till about halfway thru, but it does make it easier. Again some hardware is very similar, so double check it. BIG TIP - insert all T nuts first, much easier to pound these in good and deep when the boards are on the ground. Is relatively easy to put together. Had multiple drills going. I made the sandbox into another play deck. Sturdy, I felt safe up there working on it, but not heavy duty. Good things: Kids love having the to decks to run to. Lots of play value for the money. Good for young children, decks not too high, deep slides. Bad things:Swings alittle close together. Monkey bars run into picnic table. Chain ladder junky. Longevity??

OVERVIEW: for the money, I thought this was the best play set after looking around both at local stores and online. The final product is sturdy, fun, safe and multi-functional. The bottom line is the kids love it. ASSEMBLY: I did this 100% by myself, which definitely slowed things down, but it can be done and by someone without much building experience. The instructions are basically pictures only you have so have a high level of attention to detail. I did make one or two errors along the way. One error is irreversible but was not fatal to the construction, but did require some creative thinking from me. I was using two cordless drills to avoid having to switch bits. A few of my other tools that aren't technically "required" came in handy. I stacked and sorted the wood but did not sort the hardware...I really thought despite what all the other reviews said that the hardware would come labeled. Wrong. It is many 100s of fasteners and washers that you must locate each step. Sometimes I would think I did not have the right hardware but the bolts would be packaged elsewhere. MANUFACTURING/PACKAGING: Like other reviews, there was a part missing. Unfortunately, it just happened to be one of the main uprights to the whole fort. I had help lined up for the first weekend it got there but had to cancel on my friends because of it. By the time the part showed up the next weekend (which was quick), I had decided to do the whole thing by myself. I will say, for my trouble, that I got a very, very nice discount off the purchase price. If you have any issues with missing parts, make sure you are compensated for your efforts. As others have said, some of the wood labels are illegible or completely missing and you'll need to rely on some measuring and common sense to make sure you have the right part. Wood is very soft; some of it was cracked pre-installation, but it also seems very sturdy once built and I will need to treat it probably after the second summer. FUN FACTOR: Once done, this thing is a mecca of activities in the backyard. Racing slides, climbing wall, chain ladder, regular ladder, picnic table, swings, glider, monkey bars, and we squeezed a sandbox with a cover into the sandbox area. I bought some cheap plastic toy phones at Walmart and put those in each tower and the kids "call" each other. Steering wheel and telescope are oddly popular hits as well. It gets us outside so much more. Fun factor earns the five stars despite any headaches.

LOVE this! So glad I shopped around and found this deal. It was put together in one afternoon. I would suggest laying all wood out beforehand and then you are ready to go step by step. It is sturdy and the kids love having 2 racing slides!

The costumer service I received when placing this order over the phone was wonderful. Can't say enough about the timely and personal costumer service. I did order an extra hardware package as a precaution because if parts were missing we wouldn't have the time to wait for more parts to come. That was a really good idea. Looks great. Hope it holds up for quite a while.
