I am impressed with the finished product, but the assembly was very difficult. It is a 131 page manual and there are about 40 different bags of various nuts, bolts and screws. It took me at least 4 days to put together myself and I am a builder! But for the price, the finished product is nice, definitely not heavy duty enough for kids over 12 though. Definitely meant for kids age 3-11. Overall, great product, took away a star for being extremely difficult to assemble.

My boys range from 3-8 years old and they all love it! The slide is fast and they love going up to the crows nest! The swings are a bit close together, but other than that, everything has been great. We ended up trading one swing out for a trapeze bar.

I have three kids 2, 10, & 12. The set is a little weaker than I had hoped in spots which makes the older kids a little nervous (even though they are under the weight limits) but I’m hoping in time they’ll feel more comfortable and safe. My 2 year old LOVES it, I didn’t think he was ever going to come off it! Overall a good purchase. We also bought the installation, i realize different crews for different areas, but ours was amazing!! Got here at 8 am and finished the whole thing in 7 hours! They were very skilled and knowledgeable but also super nice and courteous! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

While this set is great quality, the assembly process is a nightmare. The instructions are not clearly written/diagrammed and we spent a majority of our time taking apart pieces that we thought were right according to the pictures in the instructions. We ended up with holes in the floor boards that weren't supposed to be there because the instructions were so bad.

The swings are so close together only one kid can swing at a time. It is ridiculous. It is not as advertised. There is the 2 person swing snf 2 regular swings. And when your on the 2 person swing you still hit the middle swing. It is dangerous. This is why i only gave it a the rating I did. And the telescope isn't even a magnifying. It is just a looking glass.

We bought this for our granddaughters. The set looks great and they love it. The slide is a little too bumpy and on the last hump in the slide sends her flying. The slide design could use some work. The directions could have been more descriptive. The directions could spell out the orientation of the predrilled pieces of wood. Pay close attention to the predrilled pieces of wood and that they are placed correctly during assembly.

We had this play set installed a few weeks ago and it completely transformed our backyard. The kids absolutely love playing on the playset and play dates have become so much more entertaining. Everyone wants to come over to our house to enjoy our backyard. We couldn't be happier!

This swing set is perfect for our 3 and 5 year old. So far it seems very durable and it’s beautiful to look at! We have only had it for about 2 weeks. The only downfall was that some pieces came damaged or missing, but they were easy to work with when getting new ones. The other disappointment is that you are required to stain the whole set after it is assembled. Besides these two negatives, it’s a great swing set!!!

Awesome set, my 5 year old grandson loves it and so do his friends. No missing pieces, all wood and screws were there. I paid for the assembly and it was professionally completed in one day. Two boards were cracked while being installed by paid installer and we will be sending photos today to Backyard Discovery asking for replacements. Will let you know how well they handle that with an update later.

This play set is fantastic for kids of all ages. The assembly took a bit longer than anticipated, but I was also the only one working on it for the majority of the assembly. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the boards prior to placing. Overall, it was relatively simple, just time consuming and my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends kids have loved playing on it!
