K.S.
I am in the same place you are with wanting to buy a new playset for the backyard.
I have read all the responses so far, and they are about the same as I have heard from others in the past.
I think we will go with the Costco playset because of there excellent return policy. I have a cousin in Allen that had some issues with hers, and Costco just gave her cash back after she had it for a few years. I love Costco!
I will be buying off-season to get a lower price.
