Comments about Little Tikes Arcadia I Ultimate Playground with Glider:

[...] All boards were checked in a labelled properly. Only 3 boards were defect, but were replaced within 5 days of calling company. A little difficult to assemble, but that could be due to the fact that set sat in my garage for 2 months before assembly and some of the labels came off the boards. Maybe use a stamp to label boards? Overall, very easy to use directions and was put together in one day by a bunch of my friends!

Comments about Little Tikes Arcadia I Ultimate Playground with Glider:

We bought this for my son's 3rd birthday. He was always begging to go to the park to swing, slide, and climb. This is the perfect combination of features that he can't get enough of. It also looks great in our backyard. We have had several neighbors comment on how good it looks. It took 3 of us about 14 hours to complete. I wouldn't say it was difficult but it wasn't easy either. If it hadn't been for my dad who is a great carpenter and jack-of-all trades we would have had to hire someone. My husband and I are pleased we chose this set and would do it again. THANKS Little Tikes!

Really nice playset. My kids love it. Requires a lot of time for assembly and not all of the pre-drilled holes line up properly.

Comments about Little Tikes Arcadia I Ultimate Playground with Glider:

I could sit here and right a lot, but it is really VERY simple.
I hired a contractor by just calling to local construction crews in the yellow pages and got three estimates. (They will do it cheaper on the side for extra cash on the weekends, which is what I wanted!) The one I picked took a 15 hours with two guys working on a Saturday & Sunday. They said that the instructions were very easy, all the parts were there and were very impressed.

Downfall....Can't get my 2 (almost three yr old) inside now and screams on rainy days!!

I have plenty of time to plant my flowers and do yard work now thanks to Little Tikes. Considering my daughters all range in years up to 19, and they all love this. Little Tikes makes it easy for even my two year old to climb to the top level and slide down by herself feeling secure.

I would buy this again and again!!

Comments about Little Tikes Arcadia I Ultimate Playground with Glider:

I built the Arcadia I for my three children. I hired two guys to help my the first day (a full day) and finished it up in another 10 hours or so over the next two days. It was a challenge. The instructions were pretty clear though.

We had all the hardware, but one of the wood assemblies was assembled backward at the factory and we had to unscrew it and fix it.

The kids love it, however, and I picked up some serious daddy points with the wife.

I would recommend it.

Comments about Little Tikes Arcadia I Ultimate Playground with Glider:

We found the set to be one of the best in our price range as far as features. We have been disappointed with the quality of some of the work. Not up to "Little Tikes" standards. Lots of problems with boards incorrectly drilled or sawed in the factory. Missing nuts/bolts. There was a customer service number to call, which we did but they are not fast at remedying any problems. Made for a difficult assembly experience.

All in all our child loves it and still would buy again, but Little Tikes' as a company is not the perfect image we once had. Lots of room for improvement.
