[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the largest set my grandkids have ever played one and they had a blast! So many activities to choose from and kept them busy playing. As a grandmother it was prefect to have and great purchase choice!

1) activities/overall design - 5 stars. Our kids all love this set ages 4-26. My husband and I tried out every single activity (you know, definitely for research purposes only) and it’ll hold us both with no issues (husband is 200lbs and even laid out on the web swing for a mini nap). Even the grandparents have tried out the swings and slide. Kids spend hours on it. 2) quality of cedar - 3.5 maybe 4 stars. Some pieces came split. Recommend organizing all wood pieces by letter/number, taking note of what needs to be replaced and calling asap. I called Backyard Discovery in the morning and they shipped out the requested pieces that same day- great customer service. Some pieces feel a little lightweight/spongy, but the support posts, etc are strong. If you’re considering a cheaper set (<$1000) beware of the support post and swing beam dimensions and overall weight limits- I researched for almost a year before we settled on this set. Some room for improvement here but not a deal breaker. 3) quality of hardware - 5 stars. Definitely recommend organizing your hardware by number first. Some extras which was appreciated. No complaints, great quality. 4) installation - 4.5 stars. Overall, the instructions were great. We used the book, not the app. You’ll likely need more tools than the instructions recommended but I wouldn’t recommend self-install if you’re not particularly handy with a wide range of your own tools. Definitely easier as a two-person job. Took us two days but that includes us leveling the site, laying landscape fabric and filling the area with rubber mulch. Probably could be done in a day if you like to build stuff and are motivated. 5) shipping - 3 stars. No issues with timing, great communication. However the truck came with a single driver and the pallet broke so my husband and son had to help the driver unload the HEAVY boxes. If I was home alone there’s no way it could have been done. The shipping manifest specifically stated it needed 2 people to deliver. But of course this experience is specific to our local “last mile” delivery company so I didn’t factor it into the final score. 6) value - 5 stars. You can buy a cheaper set, but beware of the quality. You can buy a more expensive set that might have a slight notch up on quality as far as lumber and the possibility of some customization. This was just right for us. Hint- wait until it goes on sale (also check other retailers as they seem to rotate through which sets are on sale). Overall about 4.5 stars. Great choice. If you have the room it’s definitely worth considering.

the swing set came missing a lot of the hardware needed for assembly and the tree house part of the set will not hold an adult without making you think the floorboards are going to break , except for the board that goes across the support board in the middle. So we will see how long it holds up to children .

I just finished building the Endeavor II for my son. It was the smoothest experience I’ve had in recent time involving putting anything together. The instructions were great, and this thing is solid. My son loves it and I think we’ll get a lot of use out of it!

Just assembled this for our 9 and 4 year old this past weekend. This set is great quality and went together pretty easy. I like that it's bigger for my 9 year old and she can stand up in the fort with plenty of room, but still accessible for my 4 year old to climb and play on. Would highly recommend this set!

We bought this when our son was 2.5 years old. He was able to swing and climb the ladder to go down the slide. He loved it and will continually grow into it. The different swings are a hit as well. There are a lot of pieces to construct but the instruction manual was incredibly helpful. The digital manual was confusing and clunky, so I just went with the hard copy.

In the boxes that arrived with this kit, there were pieces labeled H10 and H01 to complete the assembly, supposed to be quantity x1 each. I received x2 H01 and x0 H10. Easy mistake to happen, and thankfully I had enough resources and materials at my house to finish the assembly. However, not everyone will have the same resources/materials. Everything else was great!

I bought this for my grandson at Christmastime and waited until springtime to assemble the set. It is by far the best set for the money! High quality materials and everything was laid out perfectly. We (and my grandson) are thrilled with this set.

We've had our Endeavor set for almost a year now. My kids play on it daily and it's held up incredibly well. We followed all guidelines for preparation and waterproofing and had a crack issue in a ladder step but customer service was quick to solve and all is well. The only downside is the difficulty in adjusting the swing length between my 7 year old and 3 year old. But they couldn't love it more and I couldn't love the outside play more!

The Endeavor by Backyard Discovery was designed with heavy duty thicker and bulkier wood profiles making this swing set perfect for growing families or multiple children. Whether you've got climbers, swingers, or sliders, this set will accommodate all levels of outdoor play and give you confidence that it will withstand the test of time! -Backyard Discovery Product Director
