The Treehouse

Our boys have named their Backyard Discovery playset "The Treehouse". It has already provided hours upon hours of fun and we look forward to many more for many years to come. The quality and construction is excellent and the app took the mystery and frustration out of the assembly and installation.

Very fun layout!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun layout for a playset. I have four kids and they really enjoy playing tag (among other things) on the set. The smaller portion is easy for a toddler to safely climb up and down and the older kids love the bigger portion. They spend hours on it! I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Took two to three days for us to build. We organized all of the parts beforehand and it helped a lot. Using the app and the paper instructions allowed us to work on two different sections at the same time, which was nice.

My daughter loves it!

I have about 12 hours in total build time and a few hours in moving from the shop to the yard and setting it up. i only had help when i was moving it. Its BIG!! only issue i has was some of the bolts would strip out or not get tight. I purchased some large deck screws and bolts to help with that. Shipping was very fast. we had it 3 days after we ordered it.

Big

Bought this less than a year ago and not very happy about it. The wood is to poorly made doesn’t last long. My 3 yr old was climbing the ladder when it broke and flipped him backwards, causing him to hurt his arm. It’s a big play set and looks nice but it’s to flimsy made.

My Kids Love It

Basically, I bought this for my children since they're at the lower end of the age range, and should be able to get the maximum use out of this. They love playing ands swinging on this playset with their little friends. Would definitely recommend this product.

Great Design

We looked for a set for about a year. Not wanting to spend insane money, but needing to find one that we loved and would hold up for a long time. I loved that Backyard Discovery had sets with really cute designs. This one reminded me of the one my Dad built in our backyard when we were kids with the two levels, but this one is way nicer. Looks wise, 5 stars. We love this set. We couldn’t put it together ourselves so we loved that they had a service we could pay for for setup. That service took months to contact us which was very annoying but once they did come, the assembly was flawless. It took 3 guys who do it for a living 10 or 11 hours to put together though so if you’re planning on building it yourself keep that in mind. Durability wise, I can’t speak to the longevity since we just got it, but it’s decent quality. I mean, the wood is NOT thick and it’s not like adults can climb up in it, but my 2.5 year old is obsessed and I think it’ll hold up for the kiddos until they’re much much older. I have gotten up in there, but when stepping on the ladder I’m very cautious and this slide is not for adults. Will it last forever? Probably not. Is it decent quality, yes. Will a bunch of 10 year olds be playing in it? No, it’s not big enough and i’m not quite sure about the weight limit. Overall, happy. But if i bought it thinking it would last my kids’ whole childhood I would probably have been disappointed. But those sets cost so much money! So i’m happy with our decision.

Good quality

The downsides: it took us (two adults, one a carpenter) 3 full days to put this set together, a few boards were cracked but not so bad that they couldn't be used, and we had to trim the final boards for the flooring because they did not fit completely into the space. I am very pleased with this purchase! It was well worth the cost, and seems very sturdy. Ours is on a very slight hill so we did anchor it down, and have not had any issues. It has been through several storms and seems to still be in good condition. We have had it for a year now. This spring when we first came out to use it, we did discover that some sort of animal had built a nest in one of the bench boxes over the winter, but no big deal. We dumped it out and it was good to go. We also chose to seal where the two roof pieces connect at the top. My two big dogs love to climb up into the playhouse with the kids and go down the slide, so far everything is holding up nicely! The kids are 7, 8, and 10. The dogs are 110 and 75lbs each.

Solid swing set!

We installed this swing set one month ago.There were no missing pieces and we followed the instructions. It as easy to put together. My three-year-old has loved this. He has played on it every single day. He likes having two separate play houses. We also installed a sandbox under the larger playhouse.Thank you backyard discovery for Producing a good product.

Backyard Discovery - Malibu

no problem at all with this item being shipped. Once received we did have a few parts that were warp or cracked. One call for replacement items and they were on the way.Did not take long to received replacement items.Only problem we had was on replacement parts not being label so, that took some extra time trying to figure out which part was what. My Grandchildren love this playing on this in my backyard

Wonderful playground!

My husband and I put this together for our boys (4 and 6) a month ago and they absolutely love it. I like it's sturdy construction- they like the kitchen and double swing! It gets them outside constantly. We've had countless cooking parties in their kitchen and hours on the swings and slide. A much needed addition to our back yard!
