Swing sets - Toys R Us or Wood Kingdom?

We are planning on buying a swing set this year and I'm undecided as to where is best to buy it from as far as quality, price and guarantee. Any insight?

TIA

All I can say is if you decide to go with Wood kingdom make sure you use the one in Farmingdale...NOT Wood Kingdom East in medford.
I had the WORST experience with them. If you look online you will see a ton of others did too. I almost had to get a lawyer.
Just wanted to warn you so you avoid the nightmare.
The wood kingdom in Farmingdale is not associated with Wood kingdom East anymore and I hear they are much better.

We got ours from Toys R Us.

We could not justify the cost from WK.

DH was able to put it together himself (he's in construction) and it took a whole weekend. I also think that part of it may have been missing (the monkey bar part) and DH called and they mailed it right away.

If you are not really handy, it may make more sense to just pay the extra $$$ to get the company to do it.

Our backyard was like a rushing river during Sandy and it's still standing strong.

Thanks! I would end up using the Farmingdale one so that's good to know.

Thanks! How long have you had yours so far?
