Awesome set! Son loves it!

Would give this five stars if it wasn't for the errors in assembly instructions. Came with multiple copies, one Spanish, one English, then after a few steps in we found a third copy in English with a cover page that states disregard all other assembly instructions. After comparing we realized the first set had errors on certain steps with number of bolts in that step etc. As we began using what was intended to be the 3rd and hopefully the revised copy we found more and more steps with inconsistencies between the parts list and drawings. For a couple of engineer and contractor minds this was a no brainer but for the average Joe this could be quite a disaster. Took the two of us 13 hours in one day to put it together.

Sturdy

We are really enjoying this play set. My son loves it and is playing on it constantly. It took my husband and father in law several days to put together. The instructions were good and all the pieces were there. Make sure you check the weight limits before you play on it as well. The slide and swings are different from the structure. We have added some flower baskets and we are planing to put a drink shelf on it as well.

A little patience will yield an amazing Playset

If you are familiar with other reviews on BD playsets, then this one will be no different. The set arrived relatively quickly considering the size of the deliver (5 boxes weighing 150lbs each) and during the pandemic. One box did arrive damaged however and some pieces inside of it were damaged, but ultimately were still decent enough to assemble. Assembly took us probably a total of three days whole, but this is tyring to do it with kids around. Instructions were thorough all though some of the pictures make it hard to see where the fasteners are located. A BIG suggestion like others is to organize every board and screw beforehand. This is the only way to attempt the build without going insane. We even bought plastic bowls and organized all the screws by labeling the bowls for easy identification. Kids are super happy with it and have received a lot of compliments from our neighbors. Would definitely recommend. Just be prepared for a decent amount of time organizing all the components first.

Labor intensive but to be expected

My kids (3 and 2) kept saying, “thank you daddy for building my playhouse.” We try to keep out kids outside as much as possible away from screens, and in the Texas summer heat, this wood playground was our best option. My husband spent a few days putting it together mostly by himself. It was pretty labor intensive, but it was well worth it.

Would recommend

Great product and support. Coupla pieces were broken in transit and were replaced no problem. Directions and app make for an easy construction. My kids and the neighbor kids all love the play-set (ages 2-6). Tip: The rails all require spacing to be measured out, cut a template to the correct length using the packing cardboard to avoid measuring each rail individually.

Highly recommend the Backyard Discovery Playset

Communication with BYD was excellent. The equipment is solid. The assembly took longer than expected & yet the technicians were diligent & exceptionally polite. Highly recommend the Woodridge Elite wooden swingset. Our 5 little gran children love it & so do we!

It's Huge!!!

OMG! We bought a great swingset. Our kids love it and turned out to be a great product. We got a lot of bang for our buck and our kids are very happy it was put in the backyard. It seems a lot bigger then the pictures, but it fit perfectly in our backyard. There is some slight peeling on the wood though. The directions said it would take 1 person 12-14 hours to build, but when we hired goconfigure to build it, it took about 3 days. The guy that came and built it was great though. He wanted to be sure that it was done correctly and above all things, SAFE! without him, I think we would still be building it.

Great for bigger kids!

My oldest son is 5 and it’s perfect for him. We hired a handyman in our neighborhood to put it together based on reading the reviews of the people that used the installation option, and I’m so glad we did. It was half the cost and it took about two full days for him to put together. It comes in a million pieces, so like others, I would plan a few hours to organize. There is no way my husband and I could have put it together ourselves. We love this set and definitely items recommend!

Great quality and easy to put together

I put this together myself. The only part I needed help with was the tunnel because the plastic was rolled up tight. I have never put something like this together before, which vouches for the quality of the instructions. It turned out beautiful and looks just like the picture. I love the two-toned wood. Overall, very satisfied, and we will be sticking with the Backyard Discovery brand for future purchases of this kind.

Hopefully it is a great piece of equipment

We bought this a month ago and it's still in the box. We paid for it to be put together as well and the first available date we were given was July 4th (Holiday). We were told if we didn't want that date, they would take us off the list but it would move us even further back, so we kept it and did not make holiday plans. I will rate again once it is actually up. After we do, I may raise the rating, since I had to put one to leave this review.
