The box wasn’t in good shape when it arrived. I was worried what kind of shape things would be in. No problem. It was packed very well. Everything was clean and not damaged.Assembly:Everything fits great which isn’t easy with wood products always. Extremely high quality components. Rungs are not dowel they are turned down hardwood. Each component was made efficiently, but with care. I am mechanically inclined with a garage full of tools but I opted to use only the included hand tools for fun.Tools:Are there better tools in the garage yes, but these ship with it. They were perfectly adequate. Glue is also included. I put it together. Unpacking to finished, with three kids climbing all over it in under three hours, with only the included hand tools. I would recommend a drill motor and screw gun to lag it to the wall but other than that the included tools and hardware were great.Quality:I’m 215 pounds. I can hang on the chin up bar and it feels fine. Which shows how sturdy it is. It’s supporting that weight 3 ft from the wall. It’s quality. Another thing to mention. All the holes lined up and are pre drilled to the CORRECT size perfect. As evidenced by the fact that you can turn a Allen head lag into the end of a turned hardwood rung with a hand Allen key. Ropes are top shelf rings and rungs smoothed and finished very well.Price/valueSo we bought the “3” version as a Christmas gift for all our children to share. They love to be outside but we have real winter which limits how much/long they can be out. We thought this would give them something to scratch that itch and grow with them over time. I can say that I understand this won’t be considered “cheap” by some but consider:Quality components will last for years with kids literally going ape on it, I’m confident of that.Fit and finish. It’s built like I would build it myself for my kids. I’m picky. I’m impressed. If I built it, it wouldn’t have turned out as nice unless it took a long time to build, and then I’d have way more “money “ into it. That to me is the advantage you should get when paying for someone else to build/make something. They have this down. They are tooled up, jigged up, to make sure it fits and is finished up nice. That’s worth the money.I hope you buy one, and I hope whoever makes these sells a ton of them and makes a good living from it. Hats off!Buy it. Your kids will love it, you might even enjoy it too.It’s 2025! This gets used daily by four kids!! Nothing is broken it all still works like day one! Four kids! Three years of entertainment and fitness. Worth the money.
