Absolutely fantastic!!
I absolutely love this kit! I didn't want a short and flemsy set for my kids and this worked perfectly. It's tall and sturdy and really was an ease to put together. The wood and materials needed costed less than $100. Great swing set. I had contacted Swing set source to verify there were 3 sets of hangers since the picture only shows 2 sets. The rep didn't have the specific info so he called the manufacturer to verify. It does come with 3 sets, and I really appreciated his effort. P.S. you need less than one gallon of stain or paint.

2.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser12/10/2020missing partsItem was good quality overall; screws were galvanized, no sharp edges on the brackets, shipped quickly. Instructions a little confusion because they are for 3 or 4 different options, but I was able to figure it out. 2-star rating because Incorrect bolts were included for attaching the A-frame brackets to the top beam. You can't bolt a 4x6 beam into a bracket with a 5 1/2" bolt! if you buy this also order yourself up 4x 6" or 6 1/4" by 3/8 carriage bolts and you'll be good to go. Also you might need an extra long drill bit to drill through the top beam. The crappy one included won't do the job. I'd buy it again though.Trevor

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser06/10/2020Very good kit for a DIY.This is a study kit with clear instructions. I can swing my 200 lb body on it without hearing creaking or seeing any wobble in the structure. Overall it cost me $80 in lumber. The bolts that go through the end of the main beam arent long enough. I had to drill an indent with a 1.5 inch bit to get it to fit and i had to get creative with my slightly too short bits to get all the way through. Definitely takes the hassle out of designing it myself though.Cody

3.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser04/29/2019With the kit swing was about $250 to completeThis kit is super easy to build and makes building your own swing set well worth the cost, BUT i didn't find out until too late that mine was missing pieces. It was missing the hangers for one of the swings. i found one for $10 at my local hardware store. The included screws are not great quality, and many of them broke off while drilling them into the wood. So I bought some nice wood screws and they went right in like butter. The included drill bit does not drill well, or go all the way thru the 4x6 so i bought a long 3/8 bit as well. All in all a great value, but i did have to spend extra to complete the swing set properly.angelcop74

I love my grandchildren's new swing set, we will stain it after the treated wood dries out, overall we spent about $170.00 including the kit, lumber and the stain for later, good deal!Brenda

4.00 out of 5 stars reviewVerified Purchaser07/30/2011Happy Little GirlGot it assembled without much trouble. Nuts in kit did not fit swing hanger bolts, but $2 worth of hardware (needed coarse threaded nuts) fixed it right up. Instructions are terse, but everything is there - read them, then read them again. Definitely need 2 people for final assembly - the set is heavy! I was very happy to have a good power drill (my cordless could not cut the bolt holes) and circular saw (4 cuts needed). Lumber for the project cost me about $100. I also had to get a long 5/16 drill bit (need to drill through 6 inches). All in all, a great value - very solid, well-designed. Not too hard to assemble. I'm sure it will last for years.Joe
