Gorilla Playsets 01-1069-Y Outing Wood Swing Set with Wood Roof and Monkey Bars - Yellow Slide, Amber

I built this thing on my own. Working mama of two lil munchkins. Took about 2 to 3 hrs a day for 5 days (after work and such) to get it done. Very sturdy. Directions are easy to follow. Two suggestions: is depending on what style you choose some of your hardware may be found in other boxes. So I thought I'd run out of parts at one point. Second thing is the T nuts on the rock climbing wall suck. The metal is so soft that the bolts easily crossthread and then get stuck and when trying to get them undone you destroy parts in the process. Overall, my kids love it though. They're so happy.

We were VERY skeptical about buying a playset. Most reviews (not just on this one) have horror stories. The first thing we did when the packages arrived was take inventory. After we confirmed everything was there and intact, we spent the time to seal each piece with water sealant. Unfortunately we are new to our area, so we had no help to put it together. My husband did it by himself working 2 - 3 hours a day for a week. After everything was together we realized the periscope was cracked, contacted Gorilla and they sent out a new one!I don't know the longevity of this set, but for now we're extremely happy. It seems sturdy, me and my husband swing on it. The instructions were easy enough. Customer service was great. No complaints!

Decent product. I had no issues with the lumber. Wood isn’t very dense so have to be careful assembling. Overall happy with product. The shipping company ceva logistics is terrible they rescheduled several times and we were lucky unlike other customers that the boxes arrived with no damage.

We’ve avoided getting one of these due to thinking our backyard was too small but after this year of virtual school and working from home, this was MUCH needed for our 5 year old boys. Yeah, we don't have the full recommended safety area, but it fits well enough and is pretty sturdy. My husband is very handy so it didn’t take him too long to assemble (aside for weather delays). The only problem he ran into was not having enough of a certain length of screws but he just went to our local hardware store and bought a box for under $5. The boys absolutely love it, especially the swings. They are out there in the rain and cold!! I’m going to order some sealant for it as it is recommended to apply within 3 months to help preserve the wood. We’ve only had it a month but so far it’s showing it’s worth.

This playset is very strong. The wood materials are good quality and sturdy. They are so hard that when putting the playset together, it is sometimes very hard to drill into the wood. I had to make a large enough pilot hole in order to drill the screws completely into the wood. This indicates good quality wood used for this playset. I generally recommend to buy it for kids. I encountered two issues:One, although the instruction is pretty good and into the details, some places (not many) are confusing and even wrong. I had to go back and forth to figure out how to put some pieces together. However, I made it without a big deal.Two, there were a few small wood pieces missing. I don't know if they are missing because of the transportation (one of the boxes were broken when the entire package was delivered to my house), or it is because of the packing problem. Nevertheless, I emailed the company and they replied very quickly and send the missing pieces to me in a very short time. I like this type of service. Overall, I recommend this product.

I definitely would not recommend buying this. many of the pieces of wood split while putting it together or within a month of it being built. the coating on the wood is peeling. this was assembled Memorial Day weekend 2024, it has been up for less than 3 months and it's very disappointing for how it has held up. we chose this because it was supposed to be better quality wood. we would have been better off going to a lumber yard and building it ourselves. it was also missing a few pages of instructions. granted, our kids do love it, but we will definitely need to replace wood by next summer. I would return it, but to disassemble would suck.

Rarely do you get something that's large and complex to put together with hundreds of pieces of hardware and wood that fits together so well. Thoroughly impressed with how well everything fit together (obviously we took out time and followed instructions closely as well), it just fit. Just don't go nuts with overtightening since it's a little softer wood (feels like pine or something), screws and bolts pull in real quick. 3 years later and the kids are still using it all summer long. Highly recommend, this is a great value.

The directions were super easy. I put it together by myself in about 6 hours. (If I would have had another impact gun and adult helper probably would have been 2 1/2.) I think it will be pretty sturdy as long as older kids don't play on it. Was short on 2 inch screws but they send extra of misc stuff so used 2 1/4 where it wouldn't cause a problem. Over all was pretty right on.
