I bought this play set for my two granddaughters (3, 5) to have something to do when they visit. We also bought assembly. The professionals had it put together in 6.5 hours. I love the look of the Bristol Piint Cedar Swing Set/playset. My granddaughters absolutely love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Bristol Point Cedar Swingset/Playset in late May 2023 and received it about a week later. I assembled it almost entirely on my own over a couple weekends. The kids (8, 6, and 3 years old) love it and got to enjoy it all summer and fall. It was fairly straight forward to assemble. I tried the app guided instructions but tended to favor the paper instructions. All the parts were accounted for and nothing was damaged or defective from Backyard Discovery. I would highly recommend sorting all the hardware and wood parts out to help locate them faster. The set seems quite solid and sturdy for the kids. I felt it was fine to hold my weight as I climbed up in it for parts of the assembly. The hardest part for me was getting the anchors in the ground. I probably should have watered the area to soften up the soil. I would like to see stain recommendations as well if possible. Overall very pleased with the quality and value of the set. It has lots of fun features for the kids. They really love it too which makes me very happy.

My review would have been 5 stars but this playset is a little smaller than I was expecting. The area on the deck is a barely big enough for both my kids to sit and play. The redeeming quality is the tube slide which my kids love. My husband and I put it together ourselves and it took us almost a month to finish completely because we had pieces that were broken when we opened the boxes and we were missing a vital piece of wood. We had to wait at least a week for each section that we needed to arrive. Also the tube slide it self took about 5 hours to assemble and attach to the set. Overall we are happy with this set but would have liked a little more room on the deck to play and preferably no broken pieces.

We bought this almost a year ago at this point and it is holding pretty good. Will need a new stain after winter this year but instruction say to do the annually anyway. The only item we would like improved would be to have the size of the swing area wider for oversized replacement swings.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this back in May 2023 for my toddler, and he loves it. Assembly really wasn't too difficult, I built it 90% alone in my garage over a few nights in "sub-assemblies" (tower, stairs, roof, slide, A-frame, swing beam, spiral slide), then had my dad and brother come over one afternoon to move and assemble it all in the back yard. Total assembly time was maybe ~12hrs alone and ~3 hours for final assembly in the yard. A lot of reviews I read complained about the spiral slide, but I didn't have many issues with that, only a few bolts on the inside curves were a little hard to align and tighten. It's held up to the weather very well over the summer too. The only issue I had was the blender for the kitchen set was defective, but customer service was very helpful and sent me a new one within a week. Overall, this is a very nice set, and fairly easy to assemble if you're at least a little handy and have access to the right tools.

Plan on at LEAST 3 days to assemble this thing. My biggest beef with this is the INCREDIBLE number of different size screws, bolts, washers, lag nuts, etc.. (Definitely recommend laying them out in an organized fashion by #’s). Labels on the wood pieces should also be easier to read/spot. I think the designers could have reduced the number of different connector sizes at least in half had they really thought it through. Tube slide took 2 people (intelligent grandma’s) 8 hours to assemble. The rest of it has been taking me three 6-8 hour days to assemble so far, and I have another full day! I’m good at following directions, and with building wood projects, and I think progressing at average speed, but this one really takes the cake. As for quality, the cedar wood is VERY light weight, which doesn’t bode well for longevity if you don’t treat it yearly.

Looks great and the materials were good quality. Recommend laying out bolts by number and either pre-sorting them by step or have someone gathering boards and hardware while other connects. 1 or 2 bolts didn’t seem long enough but it was very very few. Tube slide was instructions were just ok but the images are accurate. It was a 2 day build with 2 guys with 8 to 9 hours each day. Overall positive experience.

Bought this play set for my two year old in April and it arrived in May. My husband was able to put it together by himself for the most part but did have some help with putting one of the slides together. My son really loves his new play set, and it has held up well so far.

I found the set to be fairly easy to put up, I did about 80% all by myself. Eventually you will just need the extra set of hands but nothing was too crazy. The most frustrating part was some of the hardware did not want to thread nicely which tore the soft wood pretty good. Also the boards letters/numbers that identified the piece were sometimes hard to read and easy to get backwards. But despite the back tracking here or there it was done quickly and easily and the kids love it.

So much fun for my great grandchildren with so many fun activities keeps them interested and engaged for hours. I stained the set to help preserve the wood and would recommend it to keep it looking good. I also choose the option to have someone put it together which was a God send. Would highly recommend this play set.
