Flexible Flyer Fun Fantastic Swing Set

great set, big enough for a party! Lay out all the pieces first, then read through the instructions... the instructions arent as thorough as they should be, and you may find yourself going back to correct certain things after the fact. like, i put one section of the big cross bar in upside down, so when i went to attach the handlebar and glider i couldnt so we had to unscrew and turn that bar around. great set though. my daughters love it, they have been on it everyday since

• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? almost, some of the holes didnt line up, but my hubby put some weight on it and forced them to line up

I'm a grandmother raising a grandchild and wanted simple play equipment for our backyard, and this seemed like just the ticket. However, because I'm older and not mechanically inclined, I did have to hire someone to install the swing set. I thought that because the swing set was not as elaborate as some, installation would be fairly easy and inexpensive to hire out, but the cost of putting the swing together and anchoring it with cement posts cost as much as the swing set itself! My granddaughter is 9 and doesn't enjoy this as much as she might have when she was younger, but her younger cousins like the swings. The slide is fairly useless except for toddlers (and minor mischief!) After three weeks of use, it's holding up well and still looks nice. It's too soon to tell how well it'll hold up to prolonged play and weathering, but it fits the bill for now.

We sold a house with a lovely wooden play set in the backyard. We didn't want to re-create that investment, so we bought this set. We have four kids, so the set of three swings is brilliant. They also love the see-saw and teeter-totter. My only complaint is that the slide is low to the ground. My bigger two don't enjoy it. They call it a "baby slide," and it sort of is. Easy enough to put together. My husband did it alone across two days (didn't take the whole two days). Comes with anchors, which are necessary in our yard.

Bought for our 3 year old granddaughter who loves it. Took time to put together but fairly straightforward.

• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Good for younger kids--probably not sturdy enough for older roughhousing kids
