Built this for our grandchildren and directions/instructions are excellent. Very well explained and every piece fit perfectly!!! I am so impressed with everything supplied. Highly recommended

Awesome playground. A lot of parts and time consuming to put together, but very worth it in the end. My shipment was missing 2 bags of bolts, but I called customer service and I had them FedEx’d to my house within 2 days. Great customer service.

This playground is impressive in size. It took my husband and I about 3 days to assemble. The colors and quality of the wood is much higher quality than ones we’ve used in the past. I gave this product a 4/5 because the main beam above the swings is cracked right down the middle and I worry about how that will hold up against the weather. Our kids are really enjoying it!!

Impressive swing set/tower! Our 3 %26 5 year olds love it! We were able to find a certified assembler searching google which was cheaper than using Sam's club as the coordinator. And so happy we did. It took two workers 8 straight hours, with no breaks to assemble it. And they have done hundreds of these. It does say a clear coat is needed to comply with the 5 year warranty terms. We will apply next summer. We opted for a sand base which acts like a giant sandbox. If we can get 5-7 years out of it, it will be money well spent. The Mystic Tower swing set has more character than the plastic lifetime ones but probably wont last as long. My guess is when the kids turn 10 and 12 they will be on to new things.

Completed in 23hrs, by myself. I was a little hesitant getting into this project as there were multiple reviews out there about the complexity of the build. The pieces were shipped in a five parcel drop off. I was able to store them in the garage until I could find a weekend to put this together. I downloaded the "Bilt" app and reviewed instructions prior to starting. An important note to follow was organization of the material. This was key when it came time to build, it allowed me to spend less time searching for pieces and more time constructing. Once all the pieces were organized I found it easier for myself to follow the printed instruction booklet and reference the Bilt app when I needed to "pinch and zoom" on certain pieces. The booklet is printed in black and white and the app allows you to see all the colors, this was helpful in discerning material. in this fashion, and working completely alone, it took me two full days to construct. (Day 1, 9a-8p. Day 2, 9a-9p) 23hrs. You begin the build by constructing the door, the ladder then the rock wall. It then has you move on to start the swing set, then construction of the fort base. At the beginning of day two I was ready to lay down flooring of the completed base. Don't be alarmed, you will end up with multiple bags of partial unused hardware. This caused me hesitation in my build but I want everyone to know it is expected. All the pieces fit together really well, pilot holes lined up, and no pieces were broken. The wood is mostly pine with the roof material being cedar. Every now and then, you would get a knotty piece, I was able to work around it as needed. You finish the build with accessories and finally the swings. Hideout Tower is impressively tall, 12ft. My kids will really enjoy this for years to come.

The wood is very soft and cheap. After having it for only 4 months and only 2 kids playing on it, the bolts are backing out and the wood is cracking on the tower. We have had to re-tighten the bolts in many places 4 times in the 4 months. The whole thing twists when my 50 lb son swings. I don't feel safe with my children on this playset. I am VERY disappointed with the quality and safety of this product for such a large purchase!

Nice looking swing set. However, I am disappointed with the quality. We purchased in December and my husband and son put it together in February. After a few months, the wood has split in multiple places and has also peeled in a couple places. The wood is pretty soft and is easily nicked. Some of the screws have even broken off. I would have submitted photos but I kept getting an error message saying the operation couldn't be completed

It came April 1st. But we just finished last tuesday but the next day it fell dawn, because the wind is too strong, where we lived in Fort Morgan colorado. We put all the black stakes, but they did not hold anything.. Rig now the entire swing set is wiggle even when just my daugther is swinging...not satisfied too expensive for too poor material...I took photos to prove all that I'm describing..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of backyarddiscovery] This product is so fun. Compact for any size years. So many options for play on one set. All ages can enjoy this set. The kitchen is fun for smaller kids. Great quality and classic swing set

I purchased a Backyard Discovery Mystic Tower Cedar Swing Set for my grandchildren from Sam's Club, and I paid for assembly services with the purchase. Less than 6 months after it was purchased and assembled, my 2 year-old grandson opened the wooden door on the swing set, and it ripped off, exposing broken wood and visible nails. The play set is no longer usable, as it is unsafe.
