KidKraft Big Backyard Appleton Wooden Swing Set

Leí la mayoría de los reviews antes de comprarlo. He de mencionar que recomiendo que LEAS absolutamente todas las instrucciones antes de iniciar nada. Todo tiene un orden. No te quieras adelantar. También, recomiendo poner en contenedores con post it’s toda la “herramienta que llega (tornillos, rondanas, etc.) nosotros los pusimos en orden alfabético y con el código en el que viene En las instrucciones. Eso nos ayudó enormemente a asegurarnos de que está TODO lo que debe de venir en el paquete, además de revisar una por una las tablas que están enlistadas en las instrucciones. ENTIENDO que este paso pueda dar flojera pero estarás tranquilo/a de que el set está completo y si no encuentras algo es porque no lo encuentras y no porque falte. Si lo recomiendo. Considera que te tardarás probablemente más de 8 hrs. En armarlo. En mi caso lo armé yo y mi mamá de 65 años. Así que entre dos es posible. Uno solo de plano no se puede ni es práctico.

Got this on sale for $350, which seemed like a great deal. It's been 3 months since I put it all together and so far, it's holding up great. Playset is on the smaller side - don't expect something from a public park, but it's perfect for toddlers and small kids, any under 4'6" and 80 pounds (it's rated for 110 pounds but kids that big are probably on their smart phones instead). Any playset that is bigger will likely cost way more ($1,500+), so this is a great deal all things considered. My set came with all the necessary pieces, nothing broken. Cedar wood is of good quality and smells nice. Cedar is considered a softwood, but these planks seem sturdy enough. Still, be careful when you drill in screws or bolts The wood appears treated in some way as the water beads off, but I'll see how it holds up this winter (I live in Southern California so I'm more worried about sun damage - I'll likely need to stain/seal before each summer). It took me and a friend about 7 hours to assemble it all - we spent an hour organizing and about 6 to build, with a long lunch in the middle that involved a lot of beer (not recommended). Required tools - socket wrench with 5/16 and 1/2 drives along with a power drill. You'll need a Phillips drive bit and the hardware provided include a Robertson drive bit - definitely use it over anything you may already have. Most of the holes are pre-drilled and I encountered only one piece that seemed to be pre-drilled incorrectly (fortunately, I have a power drill). Other tips - you need a flat surface. Sort out ahead of time the wood pieces by number group and the hardware size (bolts, screws, washers, nuts) together by size so they're easy to grab - this is what took so long to organize as we figured out some of the hardware could be set up in advance (bolts paired with their washers and nuts, etc). Don't tighten anything until the end so you can maneuver all the pieces into place, especially when you manhandle the swing portion to the main station. Finally, take your time reading the instructions - they can be a bit confusing and if you look at it wrong, you may mix things up (I actually mirrored the whole set on accident, but that actually worked out to be a better fit for my backyard). I modified my version in order to support installing a pirate ship wheel (basically, there are some horizontal supports you can screw on from the outside of the "fort" rather than inside) and left the back space open, taking out the chalk wall and putting a rope ladder instead. All in all, considering how little it cost, I am happy about this and so is my son, so that's all that counts.

We purchased this swing set for our two boys (2 years old and 8 months). The set and instructions were great! The beginning of the instructions tell you what hand tools you need, and show you each piece of wood and hardware you should have. All of the wood was labeled, all of the hardware was individually bagged and labeled. Each page tells you what wood pieces and what hardware you will need for each step. For 90% off the set up you can do this by yourself. It took me 3 days dedicating 4 hours of work each day. Pros: - Affordable - Good Value - Easy set up - Kids love it Cons: - One small piece of wood had a moderate split (didn’t affect the outcome).

Estuvimos revisando este producto por varios días en linea y tiene muchos comentarios con respecto al tiempo de armado e instalación. En particular, tardamos más de 8 horas en armar y completar el juego entre dos personas, mi recomendación es: Comprar únicamente si consideras que tienes un buen kit de herramientas para facilitarte el trabajo, si no, tardarás mucho más tiempo pero nada imposible. Las instrucciones son claras, sin embargo, existió un paso que no nos quedo conforme a los pasos respecto del nivel de la escalera / piso de la casita. Las instrucciones tienen una app para descargar y ver en pasos digitales / video de instalación, sin embargo, es distinto en los pasos a seguir al impreso que viene en la caja pero es muy útil. El juego tiene muy buena relación de calidad / precio, recomendamos comprar un columpio distinto para niños pequeños de forma adicional. El toldo de la casita llego en forma circular, siendo que la imagen decía que era triangular. Espero le sirva a alguien!

If you have trouble with ikea furniture you will not be able to put this together yourself. I did this myself and it took about 8 hours. I used about 1000 dollars worth of tools to make this easier. If all you have is hand tools it will just take longer, a lot longer. Make sure you have saw horses. Make sure you are on level ground like concrete. It assembles in 2 sections the swing and the fort. I was able to build it on my concrete patio and then move it all myself. USE A SQUARE. If you don't it will come out looking like junk. Read the directions. The way they show things can be hard to see some times, and there are things that get partially attached and secured later. The directions tell you everything. When they say be gentle on the wood they mean it. It is a very soft wood that splits easy. The wood is stained so thats nice. If you have hard soil, when you get the staking part you will probably want to use a metal rod to make a pre hole for the stake, otherwise you will split the stake. The assembly will take TIME. The warranty they have is really nice. This is a nice first fort and swing. It feels sturdy enough for small children. No way an adult should ever climb on this. The swings seem fine for an adult so you can swing with your kid, though you are not going to be going high. My 4 year old loves it!
