Gorilla Playsets 01-1070-Y Outing Wood Swing Set with Green Vinyl Canopy and Yellow Dual Alpine Slides, Natural Cedar

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 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’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.

My 4 year old loves this play set. It’s a little small for our 8 year old. Instructions were better than I expected but it would have been nice if each board was labeled more clearly. It took my wife and I about 6-7 hours to assemble. My only complaint is that the canvas top is not very durable. We only had the set built for 3 days before it tore when we had a windy day. I wish I would have purchased the set with the wooden roof. I emailed customer service but never got a response.

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.

We purchased this in November 2021 for my son's birthday in December. It's been up since December 15th, so in 65 days this is the way the swing set looks when ONE 2 year old toddler. During install we saw the cheap quality wood as it would crack when put together. My husband and BIL are in construction and know what they are doing, so this is quality not install error. But the most infuriating thing is the winding slide came apart as my son slid down. I'd like to know what this company will do for endangering a toddler.

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!

Great set! Used some sealant to protect the wood. Still looking good after 1y
