Excellent Quality, Big Fun!

We got this for Christmas for our kids 5, 7, and 10. They love it, even the big kids love the club house feel of the top level and the covered porch. The assembly was intense but after 2.5 full days of work my husband and I were super proud of how it turned out. It really is just step by step by step. Power tools did speed up the process quite a bit. The neighbors have all asked where we got it and their kids all want one too. It is quite the croud pleaser! Thank you backyard discovery!

Great backyard playset for kids!

We bought this last April and it took about 3 weeks to get delivered. I think it took us full 5 days to complete it (2 adults). I must say I am impressed with everything that was in the four boxes we received to assemble this because everything we needed was definitely included. Although I would say, some parts were not clearly labeled, we figured it out from the measurements required in the manual. Although at times the manual was also pretty confusing especially for someone without much experience in building and assembling huge things like this. For whoever will be purchasing and assembling this on your own, having a system when you're doing so works best. We had all of the materials we needed set-up accordingly and we followed the manual step by step. Some of the things we received were not labeled at all or as I said clearly labeled so it took us a while to sort it out but once we have, it was pretty much easy to go through and finish the rest. I highly recommend this playset and brand to anybody. We've only had it up for over 2 months and my kids have enjoyed it immensely especially when we were unable to go anywhere the past few months.

Lots of choices for the kids to pick from/share

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids love this play set! It is the focus of our yard. The kids spend far more time on this play structure than they do in the other areas of the yard. It is great for hide and seek, tag, playing restaurant and more..... The kids ' imaginations are unbridled on this play set and I love watching them act out their games and role playing in the different areas of the play set.

My kids love it

We recently bought this for our 1.5 and 3.5 year old kids. When the boxes arrived, it was a little overwhelming. I would 100% recommend using the Bilt app when assembling. It made assembly so much easier than paper instructions. I was able to put the thing together entirely by myself in 19 hours. After assembly, my kids have not stopped playing on it every chance they get. I would definitely recommend this play set.

No issues so far.

It’s a lot of steps to build, which should be expected. Just make sure you take your time, have the recommended tools, and understand that if you’re primarily building this on the weekends by yourself, it’s going to take a number of weeks to complete. If you’re patient, you’ll be fine.

MY KIDS LOVE THIS PLAYGROUND!

This playground brings a lot of enjoyment and fun to my children, upon arrive it was packaged in three boxes. I had opened all three and re arranged each piece of wood to make it easier on myself to assemble. I took my time assembling the play ground which took me about a week to complete. My children enjoy secret tunnel and balcony area. They also enjoy hanging out in the little house. I reenforced the balcony with two weather treated 2x4s. The playground wood is treated. I would recommend this playground to my friends, it just takes some time to build. I purchased this during the pandemic in 2020 and had enough time to marvel building this for my children. I guarantee they’ll love it

Great playset

I have two boys and one on the way so investing in outdoor toys was a must. This set is great because it has two levels. Multiple swing attachments and a small area we turned into a sandpit. It did take my family a few days to get it together so if you have the funds I would pay for set up!

Love this playset!

We bought this playset after our last one was taken out by a storm. It was surprisingly "easy" to put together. I did the majority of it myself and I am a 33 year old female teacher. I have 3 children ages 3-7 and they all love it. We even added a little table and bench up above so they can eat lunch in it. The only issue we had was with the plastic of the tunnel and not lining up perfectly, but we added a different piece of wood and you'd never know it didn't come with it. All of the neighbor kids love playing on our set, even the ones with their own!

Overall, a great playset

My daughter loves it, and it really encourages her to spend more time outside with her friends. The slide is especially fast, and I think the kids like having a 2nd story to play in. The playset is wood seems to be primarily cedar. While cedar is a soft wood, the playset is sturdy, and looks to be properly sealed so that it will stand up to the elements. All of the pieces were pretty clearly labeled. We only had 1 missing piece that I was able to substitute with some scrap wood. Some tips for assembling this thing: 1. Our yard has a slight slope, so we countersunk cinder blocks into the ground at load bearing points to act as footings. The cinder blocks were placed flush under the playset so that there were no exposed concrete corners (for safety), and then we added dirt around the cinder blocks, and topped it off with some wood chips. Getting the dirt/foundation level was a pain, but obviously necessary. 2. Do not leave the wood pieces exposed to the sun. Get them in the shade or covered. They will warp within a day or two if they are sitting in the sun. 3. It helps to organize all the wood pieces first before assembling. 4. Be prepared to have to drill some pilot holes. Some of the wood pieces were missing these. 5. Expect this to take some time. I spent about 50 hours (!) on it with my 2 helpers who would fetch pieces. It was a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

5 Star Swingset, 2 Star Assembly Instructions

If you cannot assemble a relatively complex piece of IKEA furniture without issues, don't even ATTEMPT to build this swingset. Building it didn't test my marriage at all. In fact, it bonded us even closer than ever against a common enemy... The manual. Asymmetrical pieces are poorly labeled. The order it has you do things makes no sense. Things won't line up and you'll have to back up a few steps which adds to the assembly time considerably. I eventually said to forget the order the directions have you do things, and it went a lot smoother. Just an atrocious process. End result is incredible though.
