I am so happy I bought this unit. It is a larger unit, compared to the unit’s that only have one slide. My husband built this unit by himself . It took him four days to build. Full disclosure, he is a General Contractor and he is a man that can build or fix anything. I would definitely recommend this swing set! We had no problems with delivery and it was complete in box. No damage.

We got this swing set for my son’s 3rd birthday. It states that it takes 11 hours to assemble, we were 6 days in before we got it together. Several boards were to short, some of the holes weren’t drilled out, and 1/3 of the boards split. We had to make our own boards out of 2x4’s which is the only strong boards in the whole swing set. The boards are so thin and brittle we wouldn’t let but a two kids on it at a time. Two were swinging and we could hear the board that connects the swing to the frame crackle as if it were being pulled away from the frame boards. I’m just sick to think of how much we paid for this box of match sticks and a few nut and bolts. Buyer beware, don’t buy from this company.

The design is great. We had our set professionally installed 2 days ago. The wood is thin. The screws that came with the set break/crack the wood as it is being installed! I waited 1.5 weeks for the guys to come install it. It took them 2 days. The set had missjng screws and missing wood pieces that the installer had to run and buy from homedepot. The set is not sturdy at all. We bought extra wood and added to support (technically doubled the ladder). Added extra wood to the house, to the climbing wall, and to the actual swing frame! It looks beautiful but horrible thin wood. The screws end came out from the other side of the wood panel! These screws are designed supposedly for this set. I have a 5 year old boy that loves to slide and swing. I thought this set is good! IT IS NOT. DO NOT BUY! 2 days after installation the wood that connects the swinging door on the play house cracked! We are calling the guy to come support/fix! My son is 50 lbs one child! He loves the set design and the house. We are DISAPPOINTED AT HOW CHEAPLY MADE this set is. We will call the company to address the issues. If this is something easy to uninstall i would have done it and returned it. I gave them a star for the design...... this deserves -100000. I was not able to add a photo..i will try to add later!

It’s a nice looking playground once it’s set up. My husband and I (mostly my husband) were able to set this up in about 3 1/2 days. This is with 2 toddlers at home so maybe we woulda finished sooner if it was just us. There was 3 boards that were defective so we had to call the company. They were able to send us the boards but it took 5 days to arrive. Then we had to call again because our package was opened when we received it and 2 boards were missing. Because of all the frustration we had setting up the playset, i had to rate it 4 stars. It wasn’t too hard to set up but it definitely takes time. Other than that, we haven’t had it for a long time and I just sealed it with the wood water sealant so I’m hoping it lasts.

I gave this 3 stars because the kids liked it or I would have given it 2. I didn’t realize there would be 8,880,882 pieces to keep track of between the screws, nails, washers, bolts, wood planks, poorly labeled wood pieces, etc. I think whomever engineered this little, evil gem was playing a revenge game on parents everywhere. I would not recommend this product to anyone that didn’t have the patience of an angel. 97 pages of instructions, 11.5 hours spread between 2 days, lots of cussing, and 4 adults later we got this thing put together. Plus, in my opinion, it’s a little pricy for the quality of the “cedar” that comes in this kit. Don’t even get me started on assembling the tube slide…

After years of contemplating getting a swing set, we landed on this one due to all of the different features. We are not handy, so the $600 professional installation was a must for us because we wanted to make sure it was put together properly. The installers sent one man out to put it together. It took him about 8 hours the first day and about 4 hours the next day to finish. He was polite and professional, and worked very hard. He seemingly did a great job, or at least that’s what we thought. We were so happy with the swing set and the kids loved it. About a week after installation (Dec 2022), we started noticing issues, and new issues continue to appear daily. The most concerning being the whole balcony and tube slide area. The balcony is starting to droop down, which is an obvious safety concern, and we now have gapping and cracking in the tube slide, both at the top base where it connects to the balcony and in a part of the slide itself. We also discover new cracks throughout the wood on a regular basis. On top of the damage that’s occurring, even with the anchors, the structure of the swing set sways a concerning amount when my kids swing, even when they aren’t swinging at the maximum height that the swings would allow. My kids are 7 (70 lbs), 5 (39 lbs), and 2 (33 lbs), and it also constantly makes cracking and creaking noises when they play on it. They should be able to play on it freely, without us constantly worrying about further damage and safety issues. We reached out to Backyard Discovery, who did reply almost immediately to address our concerns; however, after reviewing the pictures they said it appears to be due to improper installation, so we were redirected to contact the installers, who were chosen by Backyard Discovery. Supposedly the installers are going to come back and fix the issues, but with how many issues keep popping up, I have my doubts. As it’s going now, I doubt this swing set will last more than a year or two. Despite the issues, my kids have a blast on it and will play for hours; although they are now restricted from the tube slide/balcony area. It’s very unfortunate that it’s quickly becoming a safety hazard, especially after paying $2,600 for it. I wish my kids could play on this as intended. It would be a great swing set if it weren't for all of the issues we are having.

My husband put this together entirely by himself. It says you need two people, but he was able to use some clamps and get it done on his own. It took about 25 hrs (spread out over a few days). He's tired and sore, but it turned out great. The quality is decent, although there are a few boards with cracks or chips (some small flaws). Our toddler is thrilled! It is definitely something that will grow with him for years to come. Overall, we are happy with our purchase! (We did buy a separate toddler swing and swapped out one of the lap swings for now)

This swing set has already fallen over so many times in my backyard, despite us leveling the area and staking and weighing it down. The tube slide broke within a week of use. Our sons are 10 and 2 and the 10 yr old only weighs 56lbs so being overloaded wasn't the issue. We live on a 1 acre tract and I found this play ground bent, twisted, partially laying down so many times that its already past the point of safe use. Our back yard is breezy, but there is no reason this thing should have fallen over so many times! No storms came through, the thing would just take flight in the slightest breeze. I am so disappointed that we wasted $1800 on this! If you are wanting a swingset, don't go cheap. Your kids are worth more than this!

Here we go - trying to see what the five year warranty will be like. We’re going into season 3 and boards are rotting and breaking making this play set unsafe. It was great for the first summer and then things started breaking etc. anyone else deal with the warranty yet and or rot?

We bought this a month ago and so far have been extremely pleased. I cannot put a time frame on assembly, as we started and then my husband and children got Covid so it was start and stop but assembly went very smoothly for us. We are amazed at the sturdiness and durability. Overall we give a full 5-star review.
