My two year old son, loves to slide and the swings are just a bonus. But the hard plastic swings are hard for him to sit on and stay. Other than that, i would have to say that this swingset is a great value and is sturdy alone but the anchor kit really helps to ease my worries about it tipping over.

Directions not accurate. What hardware directions called for were not included in box in all cases. Bolt sizes were not what they should have been. Directions did not even tell you that the corner pieces were angled. Not all the holes lined up without a lot of persuation.

This item is not worth the trouble at all, there were not enough screws, nuts, bolts, etc, and all the lock tight washers had to be replaced because they did not fit around any of the pieces. [...]. Please do not buy this item, don't go cheap, stick to the wooden swing sets, or a little more priced one because cheap is what you will get with this swing set

I'm relatively happy with the swing set. However once we started to assemble it we couldn't get past step 2 because of missing hardware.[...] Also, the hardware is cheap and several of the parts say made in korea, etc. So its not a 100% made in USA item. Also a disappointment to me. Make sure that when assembling it you make sure you know the difference between a locking nut and a non-locking nut. Its very important! The locking nuts have a square on the side. This is not noted in the instructions and a novice would not know this. The original incomplete hardware set we got only had non-locking nuts, and had we not switched them when our new hardware set came, those nuts would have come loose, causing parts of the set to fall apart.Also, the anchors do not come with the set. They have to be purchased separately.

First I will say my kids do enjoy the swing. However I have never seen a children's toy with such inferior/unsafe hardware and directions. I actually snapped one of the bolts at it's center shaft without using much effort. I am in Electrical Construction for my profession. Thankfully I have a small hardware store in my garage because I needed every bit of it. I still had to go out and buy certain parts that the directions said I had, but didn't have. Manny of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up, and I had to re-drill them. Bottom line is I am an extremely mechanical person and to follow the directions was almost impossible. It would have been better if you just sent a big picture of the thing. I'm all for companies making money. How about raising your price with the quality rather than lower it to compete with a cut-rate product. People see or hear reviews like this eventualy your sales volume will be hurt. Perhaps use save hardware or spend a little more money on the quality of people who are assembling the parts of swing sets that our children will be on.
