[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After trying out the Overland Heights Swing Set, I can safely say it is the best swing set that I have ever owned. For starters, it is much larger than I had pictured in my mind. I initially thought it would only be for the smaller kids but after assembling everything, I feel that it can be used by children of all ages. Whilst some of the parts are certainly geared more towards the little ones, the swing set and the play slides are the prefect size for everyone to use. If I had to give an age estimate for who this swing set would best fit, I would say in the 2-9 year old range. I have 4 kiddos (13, 11, almost 2, and nearly 1) and my cousin and his kids live really close to us (7, 6, 3, and 2). Most of the kids were able to get through the opening under the slide to play with the kitchen set, the older ones had to squeeze through a bit. The 11 & 13 year old were too tall to really use the monkey bars but the 6 & 7 year olds loved it! The steps/rock wall were really easy to assemble and use and the kids loved going down the slides again and again. The swings themselves are very nice! I much prefer these types of swings to the hard plastic ones as it really makes it easy for each of the children to use it. The little bar in the middle was really fun, although we might replace it with a baby swing for now so the littlest kiddos can enjoy it as well. My personal favorite part is the cafe portion, it has a little sink & burner and there’s even a chalkboard that can be used to write the menu. The oldest kids enjoyed drawing different things on it, from menu items to little characters. It also has a small bench, and it’s VERY sturdy. We realized pretty quickly that we were a bit short for some of the assembly so we used the bench to reach. In case you’re wondering, it can hold 250+ lbs. The roof is beautiful and covers everything nicely, which makes me very happy, as I know this will help the swing set withstand the test of time. There are little mesh pieces that go in the windows, which is really nice if you have kiddos that climb all over the place, so they’re not ending up where they shouldn’t be. Another of my favorite bits was all of the detail and decorations. There are little flags on the side where the slides are and a canopy over the cafe. The chalkboard itself is adorable and the roof has some cute little decorative pieces. It just really brought everything together and makes the swing set seem more luxe. The one drawback is that it does take a decent amount of time and at least two people to assemble, more people would be beneficial. Make sure you’re paying very close attention to the directions, the placement of each piece, where all the holes are, etc. We did have some initial issues due solely to user error, however, they were easily remedied and the swing set is now my favorite part of the backyard. One thing to keep in mind if you’re purchasing this swing set is it does take up a fair bit of space. I had plenty of clearance but you’ll want to make sure you have a lot of space to put it. When I asked the kids what their thoughts were the older ones said they loved the swings, slides, and the “upstairs” portion of the play house. They took some of their favorite things out and hung out up there for a while. My 11 year old said it was like a really cool treehouse. The 6 & 7 year olds asked if they could come over every day and our 7 year old neighbor agreed, as she swung from the monkey bars. The littles ones didn’t have much to say but they were just happy to be included in the big kids games and took every chance they could to get down the slides again. They were ALL so excited that we hadn’t even finished assembling before they would ask to “test it out”. The wood is weather treated which was a plus & I noticed the directions said this should be done each year. Overall, a simply beautiful piece, that will look amazing in your yard and also provide years of fun for your children. I would recommend this particular swing set to everyone with kids but specifically those in the 2-9 year old range. If you’re wondering if you should purchase it, do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First of all this thing is AMAZING! It has so much room for little ones to run and play and slide and most importantly imagine! The details are unbelievable and it is so sturdy that it is never leaving this yard. It did take us about two full days to put together with a couple frustrations- the instructions were in box 3 and not box 1, you start with objects in box 4, the instructions tell you the part number but don’t tell you which box they’re in, and at the end you are left with quite a few leftover screws and bolts (which may cause unease but are good to have). Also, the swings are not adjustable and that would have been preferred. Overall the quality is A+ and as I said it is very sturdy and well designed with a lot of attention to detail. If you have a couple friends, a bit of patience, and a whole weekend then you too can be the coolest parent on the block!

Be ready to spend some quality time building this. Arrived in 6 boxes on a pallet. Had forklift damage to 2 boxes. Couldn't tell what was damaged until it was opened. Customer services was NO help. Once opened, it didn't go by box for building- best to lay out all of pieces, which are numbers numerically and go along with directions. Before completing s step make sure to read a step or two ahead to help for clarification. Overall the kids were happy.

Very cute playhouse for my two year old. She is able to fit her feet in the slats on the rock wall to get up by herself. The monkey bars are pretty small but I’m happy with everything else. My husband and FIL worked very hard for a full day but they got it up no major problems.

It seems to be great quality and my 3 yo grandson loves it? We did make 1 alteration. The only way to get in the ground level playhouse is by going under the slide. So we took one ground back panel and put door hinges on it with a latch. It also gave him something else to play with. Plan on 8-10 hour of solid work putting it together. You’ll need minimum of 2 people, 3 people would be ideal. My biggest complaint is they need to do a better job on packing and instructions. The parts are all over the place. No one section is in one box. You may have one part in this box and that part in a different box. And you have to dig to find it. Nothing tells you where to find them. There should be two sets of instructions. One for experienced builders and one for amateurs. My fiancé is an experienced builder and he said with having experience there were easier ways to put it together. Only reason I have 4/5 stars is bc of the way they have it packed. It’s difficult to find stuff. The equipment is great!

Took two people about 12hrs to put it all together. Really easy to build with all 44 steps of directions. It says box 1-6 but really it’s 1-5 then 6 is the slides which doesn’t have a number on it. You start with box 4 and then it expands from that. You will have screws in every box you open. Prepare Atleast an hour to set the screws out the way and put them in order along with all the wood parts so you don’t have to search. That is what really slowed us down was searching the numbers to find the right board. Awesome play set though.

Instructions are not perfect but workable. Materials are labeled wrong so it’s confusing. Definitely takes 1 person 15 hours. Probably more if not a skilled laborer.

Easy to put together and the grandson loves it! My grandson wants to play on it everyday, he heads for it when he gets off the bus. He likes playing on the slides and swings more than watching dinosaur cartoons.

Grandsons love it. My son-in-law had to open 4 boxes to find the instructions. Then you have to go through every box to find parts that go together. Packing could use some improvements. But the the main thing is the boys are enjoying it.

It is a great product, how ever it came in damaged on one panel. Replacement parts can't be ordered. Sam's club gave me enough discount to cover the damage and fix it instead. My grandson was very happy on Christmas day.
