LOVE THIS PLAYGROUND, HAD A FRIEND PURCHASE ONE FOR HIS FAMILY AND HELPED THEM INSTALL IT. HE HAS HAD VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF RUST, WHERE THE BOLTS MAY CHIP SOME OF THE POWDER COATING WHEN TIGHTENING BOLTS, BUT IF YOU KEEP UP WITH SOME MATCHING TOUCH-UP PAINT OR OTHER CHEMICALS, HIS STILL LOOKS VERY GOOD AFTER 4 YEARS.
I PURCHASED THIS KNOWING HOW WELL IT HAS DONE FOR HIM, HOWEVER BE AWARE THAT THE BOLTS ARE DIFFICULT TO THREAD THROUGH (THEY ARE ALL ALLEN AND THEY THREAD THROUGH THE NUTS SO ONE WRENCH WILL PUSH OUT WHILE TIGHTENING THE OTHER SIDE AND THEY ARE HARD TO ALIGN THROUGH THE POLES WHEN HAVING TO DO SO), THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE DECENT BUT THEY DO NOT TELL YOU WHICH SIDE A POLE SHOULD FACE BEFORE YOU GET TOO DEEP INTO ASSEMBLY (2 OF MY MAIN STRUCTURE POLES ARE FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION MAKING THE BOLTS NECESSARY TOO LONG BECAUSE ONE SIDE OF THE POLE HAS A PUNCHED IN HOLE WHILE THE OTHER IS FLUSH WITH THE OUTSIDE EDGE), IT TOOK 3 PEOPLE 12 HOURS OF NONE STOP WORK TO ASSEMBLE HIS SET AND I DID MINE ALONE WITH POWER TOOLS AND MECHANICAL ABILITY ABOUT 25 HRS. BY MYSELF (3 DAYS OF WORKING FROM 5 TO 8 HOURS, DEPENDING ON HOW ORGANIZED YOU ARE, ABILITY AND TOOL AVAILABILITY).
IT IS VERY STRUCTURALLY SOUND AFTER COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED, I LIKE THAT IT ISN'T CHEAP TREATED WOOD THAT SPLITS AND ROTS OVER TIME, IT CAN BE PAINTED WITH RATTLE CANS AND NOT WOOD TREATMENT, THE PLASTIC AS WELL, AND IT CAN BE REPAIRED WITH METAL WORKING TOOLS (IF YOU NEED TO WELD SOMETHING OR ETC..., I'M A MECHANIC AND I APPRECIATE THAT I CAN REPAIR IT WITH THE TOOLS I HAVE ACQUIRED IN MY CARRIER.
OVERALL, I GIVE THIS A 4 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE QUALITY AND MATERIALS ARE VERY GOOD, ASSEMBLY IS MODERATELY DIFFICULT DUE TO INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY HARDWARE (SMOOTH ALLEN HEAD BOLTS), BUT IN COMPARISON TO OTHER, CHEAP PINE WOOD CONSTRUCTED PLAY SETS, THIS IS SUPERIOR.
