Purchased this near the start of quarantine. All the playgrounds and parks closed in our area. The kiddos were heartbroken- but not for long. Once this awesome (and fairly easy to assemble) playset was up the kids were running full speed into fun. We kept active in the quarantine and bonus points it tired them out so it gave mom and dad a bit of a break. We look forward to years of fun on this playset- and regardless of shutdowns we can still play!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a few months ago and are very pleased with it. My husband didn’t have any trouble putting it together. He is a perfectionist so he took it slow. Our 3 grandkids love it! Well worth the money!

We bought this a few weeks ago for our daughter (almost 3yo) and chose to assemble ourselves which we learned is not for the faint of heart. I'll review the assembly process, the features, and the customer service experience we've had since then. The assembly guide is very thorough and very easy to follow if you go slowly / read it entirely before beginning a step. There were one or two points where we learned later that we assembled a part incorrectly and had to reverse it quickly to make things align, etc. but all in all went very well. Prior to purchasing, we read a really funny review on here about the tube slide causing you to question your life choices and it was spot on - I would recommend dedicating an entire day just to that and you'll absolutely need 1, 2, or 3 sets of hands even. The suggested assembly time of 8 hours for the core set and 3 hours for the tube slide are wildly underestimated, but again - was not terrible and we still feel as if it was worth the money savings. The product itself is great - our daughter is obsessed with it already. We had some rain over the past week and the battery-operated burner on the kitchen set underneath showed signs of waterlog, rust, and no longer worked after the rain. I reached out to customer service this morning and they've already put in a replacement order for us at no charge. They customer service rep (Chase - shout out to you!) was so personable and even recommended getting a little storage box for the outdoor items to put underneath the counter which we'll do to prevent it from happening again.

Instructions are excellent. The video that also complements the instruction book is very helpful. Extra hardware is provided in case you misplace something. The cedar wood was all in good shape. The only reason I did not give this a 10 was the amount of assembly required. Overall this is a high quality and nice looking playground for our grandkids. Probably took me about 30 hours to assemble.

I bought this set last summer and after looking at countless other companies and did a lot of research and finally finalized my choice and I am so happy with the Bristol point!! It far exceeded all my expectations and is worth it for the price! Definitely get what you pay for. You can’t go wrong with the quality of the the woodwork, compared to other competitors out there. My boys are 3 and 5 years old and they love the tube slide and swing set the most (we added a spider swing on one side). They let their imaginations run wild and are on it for a few hours a day. I had my contractor place a water resistant wood seal on it for added protection against the weather elements to ensure the color to prevent fading/damage.I feel like backyard discoveries does it well with amazing quality products that will withstand the test of time!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a month ago and was very happy with the product and for the assembly of the playground set. Both my kids (8 and 2) enjoy this playground. It is made sturdy and has many different things to do on it. My little girl loves the grill to cook pretend food. My son enjoys the swing house and the tubular slide!

I got this playground/swingset last year for my now 5-year-old twins. I was able to put the whole thing together with a friend in a day and a half using the 3D instructions on the app “BILT.” My kids have a blast and love having their friends over for playing and fake cookouts in the little kitchen/BBQ pit on the bottom.

I bought this swing set and it has been assembled for a little over a month. My kiddos love it! They are ages 6, 4, and 2. There is lots to do and it keeps each of them busy for hours! I really wanted a swing set without Monkey Bars, with 3 places to swing for each of my kids, and with two slides. (My special-needs child lovingly calls the set “Two Slides!” and the nickname has stuck for all of us). Delivery to our house took longer than expected. We ordered it from Sams Club on April 16th and it wasn’t delivered until mid May, about a week later than it was estimated. Assembly went pretty flawlessly. All pieces were present. A couple pieces of wood had small splits, but we had waited so long for the set to be delivered, there was no way I was making my kids wait again for replacement pieces, especially since they weren’t huge, weight-bearing planks. The BILT app is helpful for 3D images and being able to pan around and get a 360 view when needed. The slide took a long time to put together. Directions were very good, though we needed the BILT app to clarify somethings for us. It took a whole day to assemble with two of us (I suggest having two drills handy- there are Phillips and star bits and it will help with time not having to keep changing them out) and the slide took an additional 3-4 hours for assembly. The wood isn’t flawless but it looks really nice. In some places the cedar color peeled off before assembly was complete, but not a huge deal to us. This playground gets lots of use and hopefully still will for years to come!

It is an awesome set and my daughter loves it. But be prepared for a large amlunt of work. I am pretty handy and had all the power tools to do this but it still took my wife and i probably a total of 35 hours to finish the build. It was a lot of work but the 3d app instructions really were a life saver. If you are not much for construction you will need to hire someone to build this. If I had to do it again I would pay quite a bit to have someone else do it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our little girl loves this swing set. My only complaint is the kitchen items did not last long. Would love info on replacement pieces for the kitchen items. Other than that, it is a great swing set!
