I read other reviews on similar Ironkid swing sets that have the rope climb accessory. These reviews mention that the standing platform did not fit on the set. After purchasing this swing set, I find that I must agree. 4 of us pushed and pulled, took the set apart, and tried putting the pieces in again. There is NO WAY the platform would fit, in fact the material was starting to stretch and fray because it was just too taught. It must be a manufactures defect because the size is off. After struggling with this for an hour, we gave up and went in for dinner so the product is 100% together yet... but the swing set and the rest of the pieces seem to be sturdy and have had no issues with them. Bummed about the platform, but we'll have to go without...
