high quality set
Wish it had a little more headroom on the towers as it's hard to build at 6ft and I'm at the weight limit of some of the components, but it's more than sturdy enough for toddlers, and smaller adults. 1small block of wood was missing (part of playhouse add-on), working with gorrilla support to get a new one. Looks beautiful as is but will add photos when done. Something to consider this is high enough that you might want some rubber mulch under the towers and maybe swings. Also the tire swing beam is low enough I've ran into it while picking up stuff.

    Very solid
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a lot of time searching for the best quality playground to hold up against high winds. We are not disappointed with this product at all. My kids think we now have a park at home. We anchored the swing bar into the ground as an added measure, but the wood is excellent quality. The slide was thinner plastic than I expected, but still seems sturdy. Other parents have noted it seems very solid and is a huge playground.

            Worth The Price!
            This is my 1st time to build a play-set for the little ones. I did a lot of research and shopping around before picking this one to get. I purchased it from the website and checked out via paypal. It shipped and was at my door in two weeks time. The carrier was excellent and very friendly. Even offered to help my carry it to the back yard. It comes on a large custom made pallet that is about 15ft long. All the boxes are heavy cardboard that hold the lumber and slide. I was a little confused by the numbering on the boxes, as they don't really correspond to anything. Something you must do is open every single box as pieces are scattered around in not particular order. I unpacked all the boxes and started stacking according to size. Every piece was a labeled and in good shape. I started by reading through the instructions and getting a feel for the assembly. I got a lot of hardware and still have a lot left over. pay attention to the " T-nuts" as you get two different sizes. Assembly was not terrible. I had a family member help me get the large pine beams up and squared and level. After that I did everything else myself over the course of 1 week. Total time to build was about 20 hrs. As you ca see from the pics I did not finish the rock wall or rope ladder as my little ones are to small to use it. I did however grab some pressure treated pine and make some nice handrails for the ramp... Way better than the rope that comes with it. I tied some large rope across where the rock wall goes and well probably put it up after they get a little older. The company sent a note in the box that said the tic-tac-toe is out of stock so it will ship when they get some in. Overall very stable, and very well secured. I've been crawling around, on and all over that set and it doesn't even flinch for me(220lbs). I used a Thompson water sealer for the wood after assembly and just used a pump sprayer to apply it...easy, easy, easy Its a good set for a great price considering tree frog is close to 6 grand for a comparable model....

            The playset looks great
            It took me some time and several reviews to decide on a playset. I did receive the playset and two of the boxes were badly damaged but actually only one piece of wood was damaged. It turned out being a rail and I actually had extra rails since I got the tic-tac-toe piece. The directions were pretty good. The hardest part for me was leveling the two main pieces of the playset. The directions were pretty accurate on how long it would take to put together. It took me about 20 hours with a little help from my wife. I would advise having a good power drill, preferably cordless. If I did not use that it would have at least added 10 hours to the job. I would also advise to be careful when tightening the screws. These are made of cedar, which is not a hard wood. I think if you were not careful you could screw right threw the wood that has pre-drilled holes. The reason I say this is becasue I did it once. It seems pretty sturdy and the kids love it. I did read a lot of reviews about gorilla playsets and some said the swings broke, or the stain came off or it was not sturdy. I personally would have to say all this is mainly because folks did not accurately follow the directions and maintenance for the product. Ofcourse, I have only had it for about a month now but I had a playset at my previous home and you definitely have to take care of them if you want them to last. I would recommend it. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I was a little disappointed in the delivery service, I would give the product 5 stars.

            This product was delivered by the street, not to mention the slide came all scratched. Then when we started to open all the boxes, the wood came on bad shape, more than 30 pieces of wood had cracks so this was a big no for me. Then return was nightmare, Home Depot tried 3 times to pick up with no luck. I had to take this whole play set to the store and return it .

            very good quality product. the assembly can be frustrating... some of the piece parts are in boxes that are not obvious, which is a big time waster. each box should come with an inventory list. otherwise the instructions are clear and the playset is very solid and good looking. would recommend.

            Our kids love it!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a couple weeks of research, we settled on the Pioneer Peak playset with the standard roof as a birthday present for our twins who just turned 4. The product shipped and was delivered extremely quick - we ordered on 9/17 and it was delivered on 9/24. All of the wood pieces were clearly labeled, which made it easy for my dad and I to organize everything before construction. We ended up needing to make a trip to the hardware store for a few pieces of hardware (missing 4 t-nuts and 4 bolts, which to be honest might have been included and we just misplaced them), but we had planned on needing to make at least one trip based on experience with prior playset builds. Construction was pretty straight-forward. The assembly guide did a good job with diagrams and instructions. My dad and I are both handy and even taking our time it only took us about 20 hours to unpack, organize, and build. I'm very pleased with the sturdiness and overall quality of the product so far. I still need to apply a sealant, but so far we haven't experienced any wood chipping/cracking/splitting. And for what matters most - our kids (and all their friends in the neighborhood) love it! Watching their imaginations go to work playing different games, swinging for hours on end, having fun with their friends - my wife and I are very happy with the purchase.

                Quality but labor intenstive!
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We held out buying a swing set for 5 mos until this one was finally back in stock. I'm so glad we waited because it is high quality and gorgeous. However, it took 2 competent and experienced men ~30 hours to put together. This included the time it took to run to the hardware store multiple times -- several types of bolts/other hardware were missing and as there were so many steps it was impossible to predict in advance what was missing. Also, the hardware parts were not well labelled and bolts/screws had to be measured to verify if they were the right size ones. Overall though, we were quite pleased. I also had fast responses with questions to customer service through Facebook Messenger -- for that I was super thankful!

                    Lots of Fun!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this playset in April 11. It was delivered June 12. We were very thankful to the UPS delivery man who had to back the semi truck down our lane to get to us. Overall we are pleased with the play set. Our children are tall for their age, which is why we chose this model; they can enjoy it for many more years! Some of the wood has begun to show mold which is disappointing considering the newness of this product. The directions were frustrating, and it would have been nice if the hardware had been labeled better. My husband assembled this over the span of a few nights/weekends as time and weather allowed. The kids love it.

The instructions were easy to follow, however, it would be nice if they would include the part numbers along with the part name on the instructions. Our family of five grandchildren will love this set for years! Thank you for getting it to us during the Coronavirus! We appreciate your hard work and professionalism!

                                    They did not include instructions and Still waiting for missing pieces to be sent. Did not include the former pieces. Other than that it’s a great set but for the price I would expect all the pieces and the instructions to be included.
