Title: critical part unusable (turnbuckle)
Product review: The turnbuckle part, on one end, was difficult to turn much without great force using tools. It should be able to turn manually prior to assembly with other parts. Even after attempting to extend with tools, it still could not be fully extended. The metal/iron appears to be of very low quality material, and the finishing/machining was also very low quality. I'll need to buy an equivelent high quality part. Other parts were OK. Given the price of the toy, the intended use outdoors with children, and what was actually provided, I expected it should all be high to medium quality. The turnbuckle was of such low quality to the point it is unusable.A friend bought this toy earlier and did not report these problems to us, and were happy with it. I saw him manually tighten the turnbuckle on his without a problem. Maybe a parts supplier changed recently.UPDATE: Called SpringSwings and they sent a replacement quickly. This turnbuckle works as expected.
