Love it!

Fairly easy to build with clear instructions and lots of labels. My two year old daughter loves it. I added cargo netting to several of the open spaces to help prevent falls while she’s getting used to it

Mystic Tower

It took us 4 days to built and the 1st 3 days we spet 6hrs each day. We had a team of us getting each step together and our friends assembled it. The last day was the smaller stuff which took about 2hrs or so. We followed the Bilt ap and book instructions. This is our first time and very time, but we got it done.

Detailed Instructions and Guaranteed FUN!

This is an incredible set for our grandkids—with detailed instructions for assembly that made it so easy! The multiple ways for kids to play and climb encourage sensory and imaginary play. The kids are already loving the set and we look forward to many years of play!

Cute playset, tons of missing hardware

The playset is adorable and a great size, however, there were SO many hardware pieces missing it was extremely frustrating. We had to spend an entire day going to several different hardware stores just to find replacements for the hardware we were missing. There was also an abundance of extra hardware (just not the pieces we needed/were missing) if we had all of the parts we needed, this really would have been a pretty straightforward and uncomplicated project to put together, and as mentioned before, it is beautiful and our kids love it.

Great Playset

Great playset for my grandkids. Once we separated all the pieces out, my son-In-law and I put it together in 2 or 3 days. When finished we added plastic mulch from Sam’s Club all around. Also we added a table and bench in the space behind the slide. Seemed like wasted space.

Make it easier to put together pleeeeease!

This thing is an ablsolute nightmare to put together! It would be nice if ome size bolt or screw could be used on more things instead of a diffrent size bolt and screw for every other board. it took me and my wife from morning till night 6 days in a row!!!! also alot of the directions are soooo vague that its easy to mess up and it haunt you 10 steps down the road. Cant you put arrows on the boards showing which way the boards need to go???? uhg its together and looks decent.

Great looking playset, wood could be better.

This is probably the best playset for the money for a middle of the road playset. It's really tall so make sure you have the height clearance. I did this set myself in about 3.5 days, easily took around 24ish hours. Was worried I would need a ladder to install the roof but thankfully you can install most of it from the 2nd floor once you put the floor in. I am 300 lbs and it held my weight on the 2nd and 3rd floor just had to move slowly. They send a lot of spare nuts and bolts and most the wood came in good condition, maybe had 3-4 planks that had some splitting. Instructions were pretty straightforward, when I was confused I just used the Bilt app to help out. Just beware the wood is a very soft wood and its kind of flimsy and bent sometimes. It's a stunning set, only getting 4 stars because of the quality of the wood.

Hi Nicolas-<br /> Thank you for leaving a review. Our wood is selected for its outdoor qualities (resists bugs, natural longevity resisting decay and rot due to moisture or ground contact, etc.). Please know your swing set does come with a 5 year warranty if you need any parts. Our Customer Service can be reached 7 days a week at 800-856-4445.

So much more than just a swing set

We couldn’t be happier with our Mystic Tower Swing Set! The quality of the materials is truly outstanding, every piece feels heavy-duty, well-finished, and made to last for years of active play. The wood is thick, smooth, and perfectly cut, with strong, durable hardware that makes us feel completely at ease with its stability and safety. The brackets, screws, and swings are all heavy grade, designed to hold up under heavy use and whatever the kids can dish out. We didn’t find a single piece missing, which made the process much less stressful and kept everything on track. Before we started assembling, I laid everything out in order, which really helped us stay organized and made following the instructions a breeze. The instructions themselves are exceptionally clear and easy to follow. We knew exactly what we were supposed to do at every step. It did take us a total of 3 days with 3 people to put it together, but we chose to take breaks during the hottest hours, which made the process much more comfortable. All in all, it was well worth the time and effort. The finished set is not just a beautiful addition to our yard — it’s a strong, well-engineered playground where our kids can make memories for years to come!

Fun all summer!

This swing set is amazing! There are so many ways to play, and so much room for imagination. My kids are 3 and 5 and have been absolutely loving it. We've had neighbors and cousins up to 12 years old having fun on it too so it's a great investment since it will be entertaining our kids for years. Great quality. Does take a lot of effort to build.

Fun playset

We bought this playset almost a year ago. This Was a great playset for our children. Sadly even with the anchors that came with playset, they Do don't hold playset in ground well with wind. Ours was blown over twice. I would suggest getting a different anchor to hold down. Now we have to buy replacement parts for half of the playset.
