Needed Some Extra Support But It's Great

We bought this set four months ago. My husband has extensive building/carpentry experience, so he wanted to assemble it himself. It's been a terrific set for our girls but there was a very close near-accident when one of the bolts from the swing fell out of the support beam. The problem is the set uses T-nuts, specifically for the swing hinges, which when the swing is used, it causes the bolt to loosen little by little until it comes out. Our one year old almost took the hinge to the head when it fell from above her. My husband ended up using metal lock nuts with extra strength lock-tite and a 2 inch washer to replace the hinge hardware. There are no concerns with the swing hardware anymore.

Absolutely Perfect!!

We bought this structure for our three children (4, 2, and 7 months) and they are loving it!! I’m we have had it for about a month now and they ask to play on it all day long. It has features for all ages and some that they can grow into. It is the perfect addition to our backyard!

The BEST purchase EVER!!

We bought this for our 3 & 5 year old daughters for Christmas! They have loved it so, so very much! We put it together in 1 (long) day. Everything was labeled very clearly, all the pieces were there (with extras). I would repeat this purchase 100 times over.

Super cute and sturdy

We have had this built for just over a month and it's been amazing. It definitely took my husband about 18 hours of building time with a little help from my dad to get it done, but it wasn't bad once they got going! The app was super helpful too. It looks awesome and great quality and our kids love it. Highly recommend this play set for quality and affordability!

GREAT BACK YARD PLAYGROUND

What a great playground ! The grandkids love it. From 1yr to 9yrs they all have something to play on. Assembly was pretty simple if you follow the manual and sort your pieces by number listed on each part. Great quality ! I recommend this for any parent or grandparent looking for something fun and enjoyable for the kids

A Fantastic Swing Set for Endless Fun!

As a parent of three active kids, I couldn’t be happier with the Mystic Tower Swing Set! Assembly took me about 20 hours working solo, but the clear instructions and well-organized parts made the process manageable. The finished product is sturdy, well-designed, and full of exciting features that keep my children entertained for hours every day. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter has made every minute of assembly time worth it. This swing set is truly built to create lasting memories and endless fun for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Endless fun

We’ve had this set for 3 months now. We shopped around for weeks and landed on this swingset. We are more than pleased with our decision as it’s been so much fun for the entire family. The set took about 18 hours to assemble across two people (so ~36 hours total). The instruction book and the app were very clear, and while there were a few discrepancies between the two, it was easy enough to sort out. Parts were well labeled and the quality seems great so far. Looking forward to many years of play.

Very impressed!

We’ve had this playground for a little over 9 months now and I’m still very impressed! We live in Florida and we all know how this hurricane season looked and it made it through ALL of them beautifully! (Not counting the random outburst of tornadosTallahassee had this year!) the quality is great and isn’t a sore eye like most outdoor play sets! Highly recommend!

Good product

This product is definitely a lot of work! But we are very pleased with the quality of the material and how easy the paper directions and the app directions were. If you get this I would set aside 2 FULL days. Definitely might have 2 impacts/drills to help the process. 3 of us and we got half way on day 1. Comes with everything you will need (bits/screws/bolts/washers/etc).You have to open all 4 boxes to start the first project. I recommend you laying each box out in a different area and grouping them in order. But all around can't wait for our little ones to play on it when it gets warmer out.

Hi Ash-<br /> Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The BILT app was designed for the DIY person, such as yourself. I&#39;m so glad you found it helpful. What a perfect time of year to have the Mystic Tower in your yard.

Not the easiest to put together..

it took 4 of us approximately 15-16 hours to assemble. DEFINETELY pay attention to the location of holes in each member. we open each box and gathered the packing list. We then used two tables to lay out all the hardware and had one person gather Hardware and assembly pieces while three of us put it together. When you get the base together stop and make sure that it's level before you go any further!
