We got out play set 1 year ago and our 4 year old loves it. There’s plenty of different features to keep her entertained. The monkey bars are too far spaced apart for her but that is something she will grow into. The wood it’s made out of isn’t as heavy as what we thought it would be but is holding up well. We did put a coating of water sealer on the play set to be safe. Set up- it’s not pretty. Be prepared to do this over a couple of days. With 3 people who are somewhat handy you could get it built in 3 days if you work all day. Everything was labeled very nicely, there are just A LOT of pieces. Overall I am happy with our purchase and so is my child.

Came in 4 big boxes, really surprised all that fit inside these long boxes. Quality is okay wish some areas where a little bit more reinforced with thicker wood. Would definitely recommend professional installation. Our 2 yr old loves this play set we basically have our own park in the back yard and she will get at least another 10 yrs of use out of it.

This was assembled by my brother in law who has years of experience so it wasn't hard for him to figure out. One of the pages was missing from the instructions and we searched for it online through Sams club website. The ladder did not fasten to the fort well. The screws had to be replaced with longer ones. The bracket for fastening the swing bar to the fort, was difficult to install, we used a mallet to assist with that. The screws do strip easy, have some backups in case. The kids enjoy it, we fastened a net on the monkey bars as small children could fall on their way to the slide. Something that could be included in the package but didn't.

If you want to buy cheap this set is for you but be prepared to spend time on assembly. The instructions are poor at best. Be prepared to assemble and disassemble and assemble again as you find out in a later step that the part has to be turned a certain way to make a later step work. there is no indication of this in the instructions of the earlier step. Very frustrating. Also very poor quality control, many cracked pieces.

Instructions are hard to follow. Parts are difficult to find. But the main disappointment is in the quality of the wood. Ours has been up for two weeks and the wood is showing major signs of wear. The wood is super soft and scuff marks and dents are there and some boards are peeling up. Think is should have been much better quality for the amount of money.

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.

A great value! We purchased this almost 2 years ago and we love this set. It is definitely a set that can grow with the children because of all the different types of play it offers. It has proven to be a hit with many kids at a time during playdates. It does take a weekend to assemble, but it’s well worth it. There were only a couple of pieces (1 board and 2 hardware pieces that were missing) and the company was easy to talk to and quickly shipped the parts. The only maintenance I do is annually spraying it with Thompson Seal!

I have 3 children ranging from 2-11. They all play on it daily! The instructions for putting it together were really clear, it took us about 18 hours total to get it full assembled and the kids were able to help on many steps. Would definitely recommend Backyard Discovery!

Great Quality for the money. I was impressed with how all the lumber was stamped with letter/number codes for easy inventory. We weren't missing any parts, thank goodness. I can see my son and his friend will have years of fun on this play set. Thank you for the careful design and planning. We are very pleased! We do also plan to seal it as soon as possible, so it will last in the Texas sun and harsh winter winds here in El Paso. Great fun! Much better than buying cheap pine wood equipment....cedar in the way to go!

I purchased this backyard set for my two kids, aged 3 and 10. I paid for the company sponsored installation service, and they were awesome. They had it up in less than a few hours, it is sturdy and very good looking. My kids love to play on it either together or with friends. The weight capacity we were advised was $1,500 so it is good for kids with lots and friends and family. Overall a very good product for the money, am glad I purchased it.
