Monkey Business

Kids love it, friends had some assembly frustration

We bought the Monkey Business Bundle with Swing Arm and a Rope Bridge, then had a party to build it with friends. Final form: pretty good! The kids climbed and swung immediately, and would happily live there. With the spiral feet that came with the rope bridge, everything feels pretty solid. I didn't realize that when we got the bundle, the panel that was swapped for the extra climbing panel was the window one-- I'd rather have had the window than the sunburst solid panel. Assembly: Parts of this were very unclear, especially for the straps and feet. We also lost one of the big screws for the swing arm and had to do a hardware store run. The panel straps may be meant to run through the feet themselves, and the spiral anchors are supposed to, but everything was tightened down beforehand, so that didn't happen. Look at the instructions before you buy. Swings: the chair swing is comfortable but not really a swing, the Kubix is great, and the skateboard swing... maybe if we hung it from a single point instead of two? Kids aren't into it as much. Rope bridge: ten feet is not as long as you think it is. Measure your space.

Honestly the best purchase!

My only regret is not getting it sooner. This has been the best playset and the grandparents are already looking at one for their house too! I love that as the parent, I can lay on the lower level while the kids play! This has been an absolute dream!

The product is well made and all the parts are easy to find in the packaging. The instructions are pretty vague is some areas which make building the structure much more time consuming than advertised.
