Also, Hardware for the set is solid steel fixtures and solid real wood.
All depends on how well you build it.
Also, for aging, sealing the wood stain is a must if you don't want the wood to dry out and expand, thus causing the corner mounts to loosen over time.

As many people say, I wouldn't expect it to last forever, but at this price point and size, I don't consider that a big deal. My kids are 2.5 and 4, and we're considering an upgrade in the next year or two for something bigger. I wouldn't buy this if your kids are over 4 or so, it's just not that big. We got it for my oldest was 2, and she's grown into it well. But she'll need something bigger when she's 6, and their cousins who are 7 and 9 are already too big for it.
Installation isn't terrible. It says about 8 person hours, and that's about right. Honestly, half of that time is just getting hardware and materials laid out, organized, and prepped for each step. I took about 6 little bowls and filled them with each "step" of hardware and then would take that out and put that step together. The wood is pretty thin, I started with an impact driver and quickly realized that it would be too much. A small drill with a clutch is more than needed for this. But not an incredibly complicated build.

Yes, the wood is cheap and needs sealing and staining. Mine is untouched and two years old. Just took the swings off of it and hung a saucer swing.
Build it. Mount it in the ground or else it torques into toothpicks. Give it a day of play and the GO TIGHTEN EVERYTHING. The wood dries and gets a tiny bit smaller so if you make sure everything is snug it's worth the money.
$400 for this is laughable. But on sale do it.
I'm picking up lumber to make the top bigger so he can have camping sleepovers in it.
