Anyone have this year's swingset from Costco?

I think it's about $1000 and has an enclosed winding slide (vs straight down). Just wondering what your thoughts are on it. It looks nice and big for the money. I'm sure putting it together would be a pain though...

My friend just bought it and her DH pit it together. She said it took him 3 days and he spent a lot of time each day on it. He's normally a pretty handy guy and an engineer too, FWIW.

We bought last years and it took my (not at all handy) DH about three days with help from a buddy. My dad finally jumped in on day 3 and they finished it off.

I look at it every time I go and want to get it! I've heard the Costco sets are excellent quality and that they will suggest local people you can hire to set them up.

My best friend bought a large set from Costco last year for Christmas and it is already cracking. It's not cedar, but some other type of wood. They like it, but they did have to treat it/stain it. And it took forever to put together.
