Wonderful addition to the backyard!

My wife and I bought this for our 2 year old son and I assembled it myself. Assembly was straightforward and overall good quality. The screws for the deck board seemed cheap since several of them broke after installation. I just replaced the damaged or broken screws with exterior deck screws and haven’t had problems since. I would highly recommend utilizing both installation guide and app BILT for assembly. Our son absolutely loves the swing set and this was well worth it. Competitive pricing and great quality.

Kids are very happy

My husband is a contractor so he built this himself. It look him about a week- a several hours a day. We are happy with the quality and look. The only feedback I would give is that the slide is not a solid piece, it's like a thick piece of plastic inserted into two slots.

Anxiously awaiting setup

The playset was delivered a week or so. My husband plans to start on it this week. I am excited and the boys keep asking about it. When the set was delivered, there was a box that was damaged. The delivery guy was super nice and noted it and told us to keep our eye out for damaged pieces. We found one piece that had been splintered. We called customer service and they said they would send us a new piece. Also, the playset did not come with instructions. We were told to download it from the website. For the money, you would think they could add a complimentary set of instructions. Hopefully the set-up goes well! So far service has been great.

Overall Im happy with the swing set we purchased. My kids really liked the tower cause it adds a third level to the playhouse. My husband and I build the swing set ourselves which took us a week to build. Really wished the instruction would have included which box I could find the pieces I needed for at least the first few pages. Just to complete step 1 the piece I needed was in the fourth box underneath all the heavy wood. It took me nearly an hour just to find that one piece to be able to move on to the next page. The other thing I was unhappy with is that my kids have only played with the swings set for 3 weeks and the slide already fell apart. My husband said he can fix it because it didnt break but not sure if once he fixes it if it will come apart again.

Great fun for the kids!

We bought the playground last November as an early Christmas gift. Both my kids, 7 and 4 years old, enjoy playing on the playground for hours at a time. They love the variety of activities this playground has and my daughter loves her house and bench seats to play restaurant to mom and dad. As for the structure, it’s sturdy with both kids and a few of their friends playing on it. We had a third party put it together and when they put it together there were several pieces missing for the balcony. The playground company sent them within a few weeks (thankfully the kids were still able to play on the playground but just couldn’t use the higher balcony til all the guard rails came in). Highly recommend the playground! The kids will be using it for years to come.

Great quality for your money!!

Bought this set in June it took about 3 days to assemble. We laid out All the pieces and I helped my husband and his friends by passing the ones they needed. Once it was built we had someone with a spray gun and air compressor spray on the water sealer. Kids absolutely love it! We bought some upgrades like tic tac toe and drum set etc.. Makes it look that much better!

Missing Pieces

I purchased the product mid April for my daughter's birthday. Once the product arrived I began to open the box to inspect the swing set. At first glance I notice that one of the main swing beams and a support brace had been slightly damaged but wasn't worth me replacing it. After sorting out the pieces I realized that there was 9 pieces missing. These missing pieces prevented us from being able to assemble the product. After calling the company to have the pieces shipped they informed me it would be an additional 10 days before we received the missing pieces. In the mean time I had to keep the wood out of the weather to prevent any warping of the wood. Not exactly what I had in mind when purchasing the product. We finally have the swing/play set assembled; 21 days after placing the order. We felt that some pieces of wood did not seem very strong or durable as the previous wooden swing set we bought 8 yrs ago. When placing the wooden screws with an electric drill you will want to do this with some caution because the wood is easy to splinter. My husband and I will be shocked if the swing set holds up for 5 yrs.

worth every penny and all the effort

We love this swingset, which is used daily by our 8 year old daughter and the three class mates that come over every day after school. Although they can't stand up straight under the club house, they have plenty of clearance, and more, on the rest of the set. My 6'1" husband can stand in the clubhouse with ample headroom. We elected to apply sealant to every piece of wood prior to assembly, which took approximately 16 hours. Actual assembly took approximately 24 hours, achieved sporadically over a 10 day period. We weren't missing any pieces, however four were mislabled. The directions are fairly clear; several times we had to redo work when we secured wood in the right spot, but on the wrong side. It has been up for one month, played on daily by four children who average 52 pounds, and they are not gentle on it. We could not be happier.

Great Swing Set

We purchased this set for our kids, 3 and 6mo. My 3 year old LOVES it! I know that will last the time test and they will both enjoy it even more as they grow. We did purchase 2 baby swings to hang for the time being and had to put a board over the entry way for the monkey bars since my daughter is not big enough for that feature yet. The only negative thing about this set is the assembly. We ened up paying a local contractor to put it together which was still better than my husband trying to tackle the project himself. Overall I am very pleased!

Very nice looking unit.

Overall the unit is OK and looks good but some of the material is very thin. The instructions, illustrations, and the markings on the material are below average. Three of us were busy for two days putting the unit together and all of us are very handy. One of the three was busy those two days pulling the pieces and hardware required for the two assembliers. We have all done home remodeling, car repair, etc and one of the three is a mechanical engineer. I believe the assembly could be simplified in many ways. The important thing is that my three Grandson's love it. I would only recommend this unit to someone who is very handy, has several days to put it together and few good friends that could help.
