So much fun

My boys love their new playset. With three levels and multiple ways to climb, it’s impossible to get them to come inside. We paid to have it put together which was totally worth it. It took 2 professionals all day to do so I can’t imagine how long it would have taken me. It’s very sturdy and adaptable for all ages. We did put in a chalkboard to cover the hidden ladder from the second level because our youngest is only 2 and I was worried he may fall through the opening. The swings are easy to change around which was good for us because we were able to put up a toddler swing. I’m confident my boys will be able to use this for years to come.

Backyard Discovery Mystic Tower

Great Swing set for the price. Definitely takes some time to assemble, so if you do not have help/are not handy, consider paying for assembly. Overall my kids love it. If I had 1 complaint, it is that the wood fades relatively quickly and when my 4 year old is on the swing, it shakes/creaks the set. Otherwise this is a great buy!

Great play set for the kids

We bought this as a Xmas gift for our boys. It is very good quality and I’m sure the boys will grow and play on this for years to come. It does have a lot of parts, screws, and bolts but if you take the time to separate and group the parts it’s goes smoothly. It helps if you enjoy putting things together which I do.

The BEST purchase EVER!!

We bought this for our 3 & 5 year old daughters for Christmas! They have loved it so, so very much! We put it together in 1 (long) day. Everything was labeled very clearly, all the pieces were there (with extras). I would repeat this purchase 100 times over.

A Fantastic Swing Set for Endless Fun!

As a parent of three active kids, I couldn’t be happier with the Mystic Tower Swing Set! Assembly took me about 20 hours working solo, but the clear instructions and well-organized parts made the process manageable. The finished product is sturdy, well-designed, and full of exciting features that keep my children entertained for hours every day. Seeing their smiles and hearing their laughter has made every minute of assembly time worth it. This swing set is truly built to create lasting memories and endless fun for the whole family. Highly recommend!

Not the easiest to put together..

it took 4 of us approximately 15-16 hours to assemble. DEFINETELY pay attention to the location of holes in each member. we open each box and gathered the packing list. We then used two tables to lay out all the hardware and had one person gather Hardware and assembly pieces while three of us put it together. When you get the base together stop and make sure that it's level before you go any further!

Needed Some Extra Support But It's Great

We bought this set four months ago. My husband has extensive building/carpentry experience, so he wanted to assemble it himself. It's been a terrific set for our girls but there was a very close near-accident when one of the bolts from the swing fell out of the support beam. The problem is the set uses T-nuts, specifically for the swing hinges, which when the swing is used, it causes the bolt to loosen little by little until it comes out. Our one year old almost took the hinge to the head when it fell from above her. My husband ended up using metal lock nuts with extra strength lock-tite and a 2 inch washer to replace the hinge hardware. There are no concerns with the swing hardware anymore.

The best “all-in-one” playset out there

We are so happy with this playset. It has everything my 4 year old could ever want. Rock climbing wall, swing set, slide, kitchen play area, multiple levels with a viewing deck. Really a great buy. Made with high quality beautiful cedar wood with black accents, something we don’t mind looking at every day from our living room. The package arrived in multiple large boxes but very easy for my husband and I to move to the backyard and put together. We did it ourselves with the printed directions in 3-4 days. Easy to do but time consuming. The wood is not organized in the boxes. It needs to be sorted prior to starting to make your life easier during the build. Worth the purchase. Our daughter loves her new “treehouse”!

GREAT BACK YARD PLAYGROUND

What a great playground ! The grandkids love it. From 1yr to 9yrs they all have something to play on. Assembly was pretty simple if you follow the manual and sort your pieces by number listed on each part. Great quality ! I recommend this for any parent or grandparent looking for something fun and enjoyable for the kids

Perfect outdoor play date fun!

We needed something to get our kids off the screens and outdoors. This was perfect for price, quality, and it was much easier to assemble than we anticipated. The kids love it and can not wait to invite their friends over once it's warm enough outside. They sometimes stay out after dusk just to get more swing time in. Even our teenager swings on the big swing.
