Really nice play structure, ok installation

The play structure itself is great. It looks really nice, and my daughter is having a blast. She loves the hidden tower and the tunnel. I do wish there were some hand grips to help get up and down from the top look out tower, and the wood stairs do get slippery in the rain. These are probably only really an issue if you have little kids. Kind of wish we hadn't paid for installation. It took almost two weeks to even schedule, and after it was completed, there ended up being missing bolts and some loose connections and some other issues that we had to fix ourselves. For the money and time it took for install, I was hoping for a better quality job.

Perfect backyard playset!

We absolutely love our place set! We were looking for something that would fit our small yard but still have all the features of a bigger playset. The mystic tower was the perfect fit! With three stories it has all the entities you’d want - slide, telescope/viewing tower, rock climbing wall, rope ladder, “pirate” wheel, tunnel, grill, 3 swings, everything! We can’t wait to watch our kids grow with it!

Love it! Some concerns with sturdiness for long term, as well as some instructions were different based on the manual vs the app.

Some of the parts were labeled a little different on the app then they were in our manual, which made set up take a little longer than planned on those steps. Easily fixed with following along with both the app and the manual. Overall, steps were very clear and easy to follow besides the few labled differently. Seems like it could have had a few more sturdy pieces, especially on the swings side. We have 4 children, ages 3 - 9, and the swing side is already sqeaking and groaning when they all swing. This was a bit disappointing since we assumed 5 could be on it at once without much trouble since there is the net swing advertised to hold up to 3. Overall, its a fun playset and does keep the kids busy. Lots of options on the fort side to play, and has been very fun so far. My kids love it!

Mystic Tower Swing Set

My kids absolutely LOVE this swing set! It's become their favorite thing in the backyard; they cannot wait to get home from daycare every day to climb, swing, slide, and use the "grill". The sturdy construction and variety of activities keep them entertained for hours. Highly recommend!

Backyard Discovery Mystic Tower

Great Swing set for the price. Definitely takes some time to assemble, so if you do not have help/are not handy, consider paying for assembly. Overall my kids love it. If I had 1 complaint, it is that the wood fades relatively quickly and when my 4 year old is on the swing, it shakes/creaks the set. Otherwise this is a great buy!

Awesome playset and so stylish!!!

Love this play set for our 4 year old daughter. She’ll definitely be able to use this for many years. Setup was time consuming, but organizing all the boards and hardwear is a must. We sealed all the boards with Penofin brand clear sealer after setup. Wish I would have done it prior to setup. Anyways, it looks so good! We are very happy with it.

Birthday Gift

Overall, we are happy with this purchase. The design is very thought out. Each step went right where it needed to, even if it didn't make sense to us at first. It took two adults, building after work, a couple of weeks to assemble. The issues we have are that a few pieces split while we were trying to drill in the screws. The small pieces were just too weak for the job. Before we were finished a few outside pieces began splitting that were already put up as well. Our 6 year old, and our dog, love it. It is a fun set with a lot of different ways to play. I'm not sure how long it will hold up due to the splitting, but it works for now. It was cheaper than most sets we found, so for the price, it is pretty good.

Kids love it!

We purchased this for our 3 and 7 year old kids and they love it! We assembled it ourselves, and while the process was time-consuming the pieces were well made and labeled to make the build as simple as possible. All of the holes lined up with no issues. The diagrams and instructions were easy to follow. It feels solid and we have no concerns about the longevity or safety of the equipment.

Superb Quality!

We got this for our girls 6, 4, and 2 for Christmas this past year. It took us 3 full days to assemble it. We sorted all the wood out and hardware. This step made it very easy to get done and we made no mistakes. The quality is great - we still need to seal it. Some people said they wish they had done that step before putting it together, however we will be sealing it once a year so I think waiting until after is fine.

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!
