I own this. Bought it a couple of years ago for about $180. It's bad and hasn't held up well. The swings are so short you barely go anywhere. It's also quite flimsy. This is not a deal. You get what you pay for.
Swings are adjustable, FYI.

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.

Solid build, got this last month. Good instructions too. Just get ready for a extremly heavy box delivered and a few hundred pieces. About 3-4 hours to build.

I paid $300 for it pre Covid. Mine has held up great. Used it today actually. This is a good deal.

I own this one. First year with it and it's holding up okay but don't expect it to last past 2 years. It is smaller though, my daughter is almost 4 and is outgrowing it anyway. Recommend for 5 and under.

Do you stain it when you first build it? Or you stain it when you see it starts to discolor?

You need to seal it (not stain it) before you even put it together to waterproof the wood.

2 years going strong. Pain in the ass to put together, but kids love it. Great for toddlers - 6yrs, too small for bigger kids.

How tall is your 6yr old? My son is 2.5 years old but already 40" tall. Not sure if this would be good for long for him

I've bought this set (or one just like it) twice in the last 2 years, before and after moving. For the price, I'm quite a fan and the one we've got post-moving has been holding up fine for 18 months.

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.

I'll echo what most folks have said. Great little playground for 4-5 and under. I have twin boys who will be 4 in November, and they got it for their 2nd birthday. It's still holding up well, but you can tell the wood is drying out (no, I didn't seal a $250 playset). The boys still enjoy it, but the "perch" area on top of the slide and climbing wall is getting small for them. The "chalk wall" is a pretty sorry excuse for one. It's essentially a piece of tarp with a somewhat chalkboard-like coating on one side...it's just pulled taut between slats of wood and is not a rigid surface at all. When I bought this I had JUST missed out on it for less than $200, but I was happy at $250. For $224 now, it's a steal.

It's kind of small. The opening at the top of the platform is getting challenging for the kids to get through.

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.
