As Advertised

As soon we received it, went straight to the playground. A great thing for the kids to have it, especially if they are active.

As expected. Seem like good quality.

This is so badly designed that I had to leave a comment. The two grip rings are really the only thing that one needs. The other parts are easily available from any hardware store. But the package was put together with no apparent attempt to assemble the components. The chains it comes with are for no obvious reason, dipped in rubber which makes them a) inflexible and b) almost impossible to slip onto the two screw-links that should attach them to the rings. It must have cost something to add the rubber, which subtracts value from the assembly. The chains are also a little too short. No problem. Easy replaceable. Second problem: the hole on the rings is positioned so that the rings will not fit past the barrel of the screw link. So the only way to assemble it is with the chain on the barrel side and the ring on the open side of the screw link, which makes it impossible to adjust by changing the link. This is not really a problem either as long as you have a workshop with a band-saw and belt sander or equivalent. Bottom line: the two grip rings are fine. Replace the chains with something from Home Depot and lop a small piece off the plastic ring so it will fit past the screw link. Or pick up a pair of snap rings along with the chains.

I purchased these Commercial Grade rings for Christmas two years ago. A month or two ago, after two years of use by my kids ranging from 50-110 lbs, one of them is completely broken. They look solid and show very little wear and tear but one ring has a clean break clear through one side of the ring, making it useless. While the seller makes no claims as to how long they'll last, I would expect more out of these more expensive rings rated at 350lbs.
