What owners single out
In their words
“We bought this for my granddaughter when she was about 3 years old, and she will be 13 next month! It still looks new and all 5 of our grandchildren have had fun on this gym set! We live in Michigan and have some pretty rough winters, and it is still in like new shape.”

“The instructions were the worst! Steps were missed or out of order. Inserting of hardware and swing pole through holes required a heavy hammer because of numerous wrongfully drilled holes. We had to assemble and disassemble because of confusing black and white pictures. I had to drill at least half the holes for bolt receptacles. The bracket screws were extremely hard get to as well.”
