Great deal

The kids loved it, and that’s what matters. The deal was great too, I took advantage of the free assembly deal. Great for kids, great on price too, can’t complain.

Design Hit, Construction nightmare

Design is a hit but putting it together is rough. I didn’t even attempt it alone and the handyman says it’s a 4-day job. Be prepared to pay for construction!

I do NOT recommend

Cheap wood. It's falling apart! It's only been a year before I had to start replacing pieces. If you have more than 2 kids I wouldn't trust it over time.

Poor quality

Purchased in August of 2023, and by Spring of 2024, the wood is molding, splitting & the screws are falling out. Highly disappointed in this playset for the price i paid. Would not recommend!

Does not hold up over time

It is a very nice swing set but does not hold up over time. We have had it for a few years and it is starting to fall apart. We are having to replace boards and the slides are cracking. It's sad with how much the kids enjoy it.

Overly Complicated to assemble!

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.

Bristol play set

Kids love the playset. Actually not too difficult to put together. Only a few steps that had difficult to reach screws. Having another person to help definitely helps makes the process easier. Only issue so far is that the induction blender stopped working.

GET THIS SET!

I got this Swingset for my daughter’s 4th birthday and it’s perfect. I got it for $300 off and had someone else put it up. It’s the right height that she can grow into. She really loves the play kitchen on the bottom. I was between this and the magnolia falls set but this one made more sense. It’s taller and cheaper! If you are on the fence the Bristol point is so worth it!

Organize

First thing. Open every box and sort your pueces. Take 1 of the boxs and cut off the top. Lay it on a table. Organize the screws, nuts and bolts etc by number and color. Use a sharpie and make the number bigger for old eyes. Once you have everything organized then you can start building. Decent playset. Some wood seemed week, but hold me at almost 200 lbs. Door split even using the pre drilled holes. It works just not real happy with the door. Tunnel slide. Follow the directions and dont get in a hurry. End of the day my grandson loves it. Took me about 10 hours after sorting it all.

Cut swing set for our 6 and 1 year old!

Great swing set! We had a professional company come to set it up, it was the best choice we made! It took about 4 hours for them to set it up and anchor it. We sealed it ourself within two days of that. The set is very nice and sturdy, my husband and myself have been on the top fort with no issues. Our kids are outside on their swing set everyday!
