Perfect Size

We bought this for our son and he loves it. Well built, easy to put together. I downloaded the app for the installation instructions and it took us about 16 hours total (2 people with construction experience). My only negative was the delivery. It was delayed and rescheduled.

Beautiful swing set!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just got our swing set up and we love it! It’s a great size! Definitely bigger than most swing sets. I have a 10 year old that can still use it and my younger kids will grow into it. The tube slide is such a hit!

Hours of Family Fun!

High quality. Extremely pleased. The assembly is intense, so budget plenty of time to complete. Instructions are thorough and detailed. Best to work on with two adults. Well worth the investment of time and money. Will last for many years to come.

Endless Fun!!!

Looking for a playset for the kids look no further than this one. This playset has everything the tube slide, wavy slide, and look out tower. Our kids will go out and have fun on this for hours. Sturdy design and really good directions for assembly. With myself and two others we had this up in 11 hours. My suggestion have one person do the individual builds like the rock climbing wall, ladder, slides, swing bar, etc. while the other two people work on the main tower. Then once you get to the other portions all you have to do is connect. We had a great experience with Backyard Discovery, the playset was delivered on time and all the pieces were accounted for. I wouldn’t suggest going anywhere else. I feel very safe with my kids on this set and can’t wait for the memories and hours of fun to be had.

My opinion

For the price I just expected things to be better quality. The straight slide is a thin piece of plastic held up by a couple bars underneath and the two sides of the slide. Very cheap feeling. The tube slide is also very very thin material. Wood also seems just cheap and started to crack in some places when screwing in screws. Overall I wouldn't purchase again.

Great product! Kids love it!

This is a very nice play set! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Our kids (4 & 2) are loving it! My biggest suggestions are: 1) Use the BILT app!! It provides 3D images and directions that help tremendously. 2) Organization is key before you begin! Lay all the boards out in order and same for the bolts, screws, etc. This saves a lot of time. 3) Recruit a friend or two. I was able to build over 50% of it alone but the base of the fort, roof, swing beam, and tube slide require additional assistance. 4) Build the tube slide once it’s attached to the play set. I read a review where someone tackled the tube slide this way and it seemed easier. The tube slide is a PAIN! My husband almost threw in the towel at bolt #100! All in all, it’s a great set. Holes lined up well and we did not have any pieces of wood that were damaged. The wood will splinter/crack if you are not careful though. Good luck!! It’s worth the sweat, blood, and curse words. :)

Perfect COVID distraction

I got this for my twin grandsons. The price was right and it had tons of features to keep the boys out of moms hair fir a bit and burn some of that energy! My husband and a friend put it together in about three days. The only problem was in replacing the slide that arrived damaged. It did arrive Eventually so I cant complain really.

Fantastic Quality - 11/10 Reccommend

We are so happy with our purchase of this playground for our 3 year old! We cannot wait to watch him grow into it and love it for the next several years. Shipping was quick. Pieces were clearly labeled and not a single one was damaged. Instructions were extremely clear and easy to follow - just takes a good amount of time to build!

Looks just like the picture!!

After waiting for so long due to backorder we finally got this play set delivered and constructed!! I would have given this 5 stars just based on how nice this set looks in your backyard and how much fun your kids will have on it but a few things on install could use some mentioning. My husband is a million times handier than most and while using the built app made the install a lot better than following the paper directions he still had a few complaints. If you are wondering it did take about 20 or so hours to fully construct! He highly recommends pre drilling a lot of screw holes, especially when constructing the rock wall because the wood is very very dry, at least ours was, when we received it. A few of our boards arrived already cracked or cracked easily when a screw was inserted and we had to wood glue them back together. If you have access to an impact gun this was an extremely useful tool on install and will definitely shorten the length of time required. Other people suggested sorting all the pieces and hardware which we did and it made life a lot easier also. The step by step built app was pretty amazing so make sure your phone is fully charged too!! Last but not least the tube slide....ugh. Definitely the most difficult piece to construct. The worst part was their wasn’t enough room to get a screw gun in the right sport to screw the screws to the bolts. It would have been much better if these were Allen heads instead of screws. But when all is said and done, much like child birth, once it is fully constructed you forget about all your hard labors and get to enjoy your kids playing on a beautiful set!! Good luck!
