Bought this playset as it was easy to talk yourself up to the next model and the kids saw a picture of it and were ecstatic at the site of it. I am very handy and have built quite a bit of stuff and have all the tools to do so. With that said I figured I had the ability to put this guy together myself. It is possible and you don’t have to be Bob Vila but it will be hard and make you question your own being. The hardest part is the first few hours as you are overwhelmed with parts, pages and screws. Once you familiarize yourself with the labeling and part numbers you will really start flying with sections and making progress. Also the further you get the less parts you have to rummage through so it makes it faster as well. Putting it together isn’t difficult in the sense that you have to cut anything, be an engineer, or angle anything out, it is more tedious and like a puzzle. Overall I did this completely by myself and man hours it took approximately 36 hours. I would highly suggest going through the instruction manual and on each page putting the parts you need and what box they are located in. Half the battle is locating the correct parts for each page. I would also bundle up all the screws, bolts and nuts into separate boxes and label them. It just makes grabbing what you need so much faster. In all honesty the twisty slide was the hardest part and was the most labor intensive as I could not get it to level out on the ground.
I bought some leveldry blocks to keep the cedar wood off the ground and that is something I do not regret either as it makes mowing and yard care much easier. I was also shorted two 4×4 posts that were part of the monkey bar ladders. I was extremely worried as I read some reviews when doing research about what brand to get that Gorilla can get stingy with sending out replacements and wants a full inventory done at delivery which is impossible. I emailed Kingdom playgrounds and they contacted Gorilla. Gorilla emailed me and wanted some confirmation of what parts I needed and some other info and sent the 4×4’s right out. This took some stress off as I was concerned I was going to have to battle for replacement parts. It is good to see a company so responsive to customers.
As for the quality of the playset it seems to be good quality cedar. We have yet to seal it as it has been up for about 20 days but we will seal it and bought some ReadySeal brand sealant. I am not sure if the 4×6 and 4x4s are true 4×4 as it seems they use 2×4’s pressed together and milled to spec. The swing beam is sturdy and holds me just fine at 250lbs. Once it is put together the platforms are also sturdy and do not shift or move around when I was up there putting the roof on. Overall the quality seems great and hopefully the wood holds up the test of time and the bolts don’t get all rusty and junky. For the price I paid, quality I received, customer service I got and the aesthetics of the playset I couldn’t be happier. My daughter seems to love it and it will be the centerpiece of play in the yard going forward. Thank you Kingdom Playgrounds and Gorilla for putting out a good product.

Just installed over Christmas. So far love the set and love the size of the wood. Better than most I’ve seen. I’ve only had for a couple weeks but seems to be great quality and price. I’ll add the sealant to it this summer but other than that I have been very impressed as well as the kids.
