This did not come in 16 preassembled pieces. It came in 100’s of pieces that had to be assembled! Not sure yet about the finished product.

This swingset is great. But if you want it to last you HAVE to seal it every year. I went 2 years without re sealing it and it just went to trash. The Texas sun is brutal..

The play house part is a lot smaller than I expected from the pictures. We don't have it fully assembled yet but it's taken 3 days so far. It has an obnoxious amount of parts to put together.

The description says ‘The Backyard Discovery Bristol Point Cedar Swing Set/Playset comes in 16 pre-assembled panels for convenient assembly.’ Completely false. Every board had to be screwed together. Very disappointed!!

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!

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.

We purchased this for our kiddos after the playhouse that (came with the house) was literally falling apart. My kids LOVE this play set!!! The cooking area is a big hit (although after a little while/rain the things stop working) we just tell them to use their imagination and it’s fine! The enjoy the top part and they especially love that there are two slides! I would definitely recommend purchasing this play set! :)

I was so excited to see this set available at Sam’s and for a great price. As a mom of three toddlers, this set screamed hours of entertainment to me! Delivery did not take as long as expected which was a huge plus. Set up took much longer than anticipated and was quite frustrating as the video tutorial and instruction manual did not always match. During assembly, we found that we were missing the steering wheel assembly kit, several pieces came cracked and the wavy slide was damaged. Furthermore, some pieces consisted of poor quality wood and cracked during construction. I have a running list of replacement part needs. We managed to get it set up in about 3 days time, finishing it on 5/1. The kids were ecstatic! They called it their “park”. Watching them run down the yard smiling and screaming with excitement brought tears to my eyes. Within a months time, we noticed things falling apart! My children, just three years old, do not weigh enough nor are they strong enough to cause the type of deconstruction we are seeing. The screws holding the boards on the rock wall literally starting breaking in half! The boards now just fall off! I can’t use other screws as the running board in the back is of such poor quality, it is cracking. The “pop out” on the front, that the wavy slide connects to, is collapsing! Again, the hardware has failed. The list goes on and on. As of 6/17, the set has been deemed nearly unusable and has become an extremely overpriced piece of yard decor. I am so disappointed. We did everything we were supposed to! We followed all of the instructions! We took our time and made sure it was done right. I don’t know what steps to take at this point. I don’t know if I should start with the manufacturer or with Sam’s. It’s not like it’s a small item you can just throw in the car and return but I certainly want my money back for this product. My littles are sad and I’m sad for them. I really expected so much more out of this set.

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.

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.
