Couldn't be happier!

We bought this for our 2 kids, ages 2 & 6 (size of an 8 year old) in the hopes it would be big enough for my oldest to play on. He's very tall for his age so a lot of times we run into him being to big for things like this but this swingset is perfect and he still has plenty of room to grow! It took my husband about 40 hours total to put together with minimal help (mostly me supervising and handing him things here and there) but it's definitely doable by yourself. We used the instructions on the app and it made it so easy to follow! 100% would recommend this! Our kids couldn't be happier!

Overall a great playset

We bought and set this up last summer. The instructions were fairly good, but a couple of the predilled holes didn't line up where they should have and we had some boards crack as we installed them. Overall happy with it. But a few minor inconveniences in the process.

Beautiful and Made to Last

We purchased this set in March and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It really is gorgeous to look at. All parts were accounted for and even though it took ya four evenings to construct it, it has been more than worth it. Our son and his friends have loved it so far.

Not sturdy or lasting

The wood is very soft and developed cracks while building and more since then. We have had to reinforce with treated pine to make it sturdy. It has been used for three years and is slowly falling apart with normal wear of 4 kids under 9 years. I wouldn’t buy it again or recommend these products. Would include pictures but it won’t allow me.

My grandkids love it.

We bought this playset as sort of a housewarming gift for my daughter and her husband and their 2 kids. It was quite a challenge to assemble, but I knew that my son-in-law was capable. It took him a couple of days in total. But my granddaughters were chomping at the bit to use it. The younger one, who was about 2-1/2 at the time, had no problem climbing the ladder to crawl through the tunnel. Almost every time my wife and I visit, at least one of them is in the back yard playing on this set. They love it.

3 sons

The title is a testament to what this play set is up against (3 boys!!) It's our 1st playground investment because we spent years researching everything from safety & structure to age ranges & how it holds up with extreme weather. We've had it in direct sunlight all year long & through a hurricane without any issues. Our boys are different ages & all love it (infant- we added a baby swing, toddler & 8 yrs old) we thought the playset would quickly lose its appeal to them but here we are a year later & they play on it every single day as if it were new! We even decorate it for holidays because it really is an awesome club house :) underneath it stays nice and cool, every inch gets used! 10/10 recommend

Every kids dream playground

We bought this playground in March 2020... and it came just in time!!! My husband and I put it together over the weekend. The girls were so excited seeing the playground as it was being built that we barely had time to put last few touches before they were exploring and playing!! This playground has everything a kid would dream of. After breakfast the girls would get there shoes on and say, “ mom we’re ready to find an adventure”! They are out there for hours from swinging, climbing and making sand castles!! This is well worth the price as we will definitely be using this playground for years to come! And parents it’s worth it... better energy used outside on an adventure then inside getting into everything!!

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.

Fantastic Play Set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last fall for our kiddos to enjoy. They love it! The quality is fantastic and we couldn’t be happier. Lots of fun activities and allows for picnics in the tree house part. Highly recommend!

Very Fun Playset and Good for Young and Older Kids

My three children love this playset. We bought it because it is large enough for both young and older children to play on at the same time. My oldest is a tall, 9 year old, then a 6 year old, and my youngest is 1 and a half years. The treehouse is big a tall enough for my oldest to play on. We love that the treehouse has an outdoor balcony type section in the front. My youngest enjoys the bottom fort area, climbing the small ladder, and sliding. My middle child loves the tunnel and shooting nerf pellets from the treehouse. In front, we put a small hard plastic slide with little rock wall for my youngest to have two slide options. I am very happy with our playset.
