Lots to do!! Tons of Fun!!

Great swing set! The slides are amazing! The assembly is really straight forward and just takes some time but anyone could do it. I did half of the assembly myself without help and the other half my wife helped and it took around 16-17 hours. The tube assembly is the worst part as it just takes time and make sure to pay attention to the directions. Use the BILT app for assembly and it makes it extremely easy to not miss something. Don’t waste money paying someone to assemble as it is not hard and does not need a carpenter or a professional to assemble.

Do not buy this!

Beware! Main support beam split along with various other pieces of wood. Missing packages of screws. Extremely poor quality..not worth $100. let alone almost $2000. Please don't make the same mistake we made. One of the worst purchases we have ever made.

Instructions really helpful

I bought this in July 2020. Shipping was right on time and communicated well. The app with instructions is super helpful! One piece was cracked but it was easy to fix with glue, a screw, and clamps. It took us 14 hours with 3 people to build. It looks great and our kids love it!

AMAZING SWING SET

My husband and I just purchased a Bristol Point Swing Set and are SO HAPPY with the purchase. Our 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter are loving it! It is very sturdy and looks so nice in our backyard. The kitchen set at the bottom of the tower is an added bonus! We can’t say enough great things about this set!

Great Playhouse- Hire the Installers!!

We got this for our daughter’s 3rd birthday. Usually I like putting stuff together but I’m 5 months pregnant so we hired installers through Go-Configure. It took a month to get on their schedule- actually, scheduling itself was a huge pain…I had to call probably 10 times- but once it got figured out, worth the wait and worth every penny. There were SO MANY PARTS!! It would have taken my husband and I weeks, I’m convinced. She loves the playhouse so much- it entertains her for hours at a time!! It seems sturdy…the installers also told us that they think backyard discovery is the most sturdy brand (these installers do other brands too). Definitely recommend the playhouse and hiring someone to install it!!

Great Play Set

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.

Time Consuming Build but WORTH IT!

Our daughter is obsessed with her “playground.” As soon as she gets home, she heads straight for it and stays out until nearly dark. She’s 2 and a half and loves the kitchen and slides. The assembly… it took 2-3 people about 15 hours to complete. The app was SO helpful. Being able to turn the picture to different angles was extremely beneficial. USE THE APP!! There were a couple of pieces that were labeled incorrectly in the instructions. But other than that, the app and instructions were great. One HUGE thing you HAVE to be careful on is the tube slide! Be sure you line up the R with the arrow. We never used the L (don’t know what it’s for). BUT we accidentally flipped a piece upside down (the straight circle tube that attaches to the very top piece). And we had to undo those two sets of bolts. The tube slide was time consuming, but just follow the line the R to Arrow rule and you’ll be fine. I would have liked longer screws in that tube slide attachment part. We also had to take the top board off to fit the tube slide and replace the board afterward. There were a few issues along the way with boards splitting, which is my biggest reason for not giving a 10/10. Sometimes it was when we hit a knot and I know that’s unavoidable. But others was just thin wood. I also over tightened the bolts on part of the tube slide when building the cylinder pieces themselves. Be careful not to do that or you’ll have to get washers / larger bolts to fix the issue. My dad who helped my husband and I assemble it is pretty handy, so he was able to fix (or is going to fix) a few of those main wood issues. For the electric stove, the instructions aren’t very clear. You insert the batteries. Then you have to place the blender on the sensor to make it work. You also have two other sensors that go on the bottom of the pot and frying pan to make them make a sound as well. ALSO there are soooo many bolts, screws, washers… I think the process could have been a lot more smooth with more streamlined parts. before you start building, my biggest piece of advice is to take an hour or so and open up every box. Then sort the hardware based on numbers (10’s, 100’s, 200’s etc). You will also need to sort the wood pieces letters A-T. Sorting all of that beforehand makes it a ton easier! Overall, the swing looks amazing. Be prepared for a long few days of building.. but it was worth it.

Great Playset for kids

My kids love this and any kid who has come over to the house has enjoyed playing in our playset. There's so much to do and so much imagination for kids! Hours of fun. The construction of it was a little difficult at times (the tube slide had to be pushed down to get it to line up) but overall once we had a system in place for the set up it wasn't too bad to put together, even if it took a couple days.

So far so good!

We just bought this swing set and are mid construction. My kids are thrilled and can’t wait until it’s up. A couple of things that I have noticed through assembly is that while most of the wood pieces are high-quality there are some that we need to have replaced. That is to be expected with a wood product by Quality Control could be a little better as some pieces are fully split. Also, a couple of bolts and screws are not usable. This is not a big deal if extra were included but so far it looks like they are not. All in it seems like a product that we will be very happy with once these small issues are addressed.

Worth Every Penny

I bought this a few months ago, and it was the best decision. My daughter loves it. All of the activities keep her outside and entertained for hours. I honestly don't think I could have survived the Covid-19 shelter at home without it. My only negative is the assembly of the tube slide. It took forever. Make sure you pay very close attention or the notes and the details.
