I am looking to buy a swingset for my child. I would like to actually see what I am buying. I have gone to woodkingdom, but I was hoping to see others? Lowes, Homedepot and Walmart and such don't seem to actually display their sets.

Any ideas where I can actually see them in person?

Also, I want to go to these places to talk to someone about assembling the sets.

Depending where you are located, we got one years ago from Gera Gardens. They deliver and set up. They had at the time 2 year interest free financing, was a deal hard to beat.

On that note, wherever you buy from, pay for installation. PITA to do by yourself.

Also, sometimes they have models on display that are discontinued, and you can get a great bargain. These sets can be damn expensive!

I purchased a Gorilla set online without looking at it. It cost me $1K and is fairly big. They list the dimensions clearly, so you can visualize it.
I did the install also myself. I would have paid $200 to install, but most were asking around $400-500+
Agreed, it was a PITA, but if people keep asking me $400 for the install, I'll do it myself again.

I bought my set 5 years ago from Wood Kingdom. It was in the beginning of February and they were offering significant discounts as well as free delivery and install. Winter is definitely the time to shop for play sets.

Had an epic setup from these guys growing up...two separate treehouses connected by a bridge and everything! It was the coolest thing going.
