Good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughters loved the playground, the only thing they say is that the slide jumps a lot when sliding, I would change that, thanks

Awesome quality at a great price!

We've had this playset up and being used for almost a year, and we are very pleased. We had one issue with a cracked board and broken door knob, but they quicky sent us a replacements at no cost to us.

nice play set

Purchased for 4 yr old and cousins. Some wood pieces had hairline cracks but still functional. Not as sturdy as expected. Lots of swaying when several kids at play.

Something for all the kids

We have four children from 2-11 and they all like the swing set! Monkey bars were a must for the bigger kids, while the little ones love the swings and fort

Easy to put together!

The instructions were easy to follow. I spent one evening putting the parts in piles and found I was missing some screws and called and got them next day. With 2 of us, we put it together in a matter of hours.

Hours of fun!

My son and niece (Both 3) spend so much time outside using their imagination and getting fresh air.. I couldn't have asked for a better purchase. Mom and Aunt win in one!

Moldy within 1st month

We have had this playset for exactly one month. The boards are already moldy. For the amount of money that these cedar sets cost, I would not think that they would mold within a few weeks. I almost purchased the metal set and now wish we would have. I was hoping this would last several years, but looks like it is going to be more of a headache than it's worth! The purchase and delivery were fine...no issues. No problem putting it together. 3 adults had it together in about 7 hours.

Great playgroung for kids

Took me and my wife about 35 hours to complete. I am a mechanic and I know my tools. If you organize the material hardware on a picnic table and organize the wood withe the lettering faseing up or where you can see it eassily it wold be just a matter of time. The customer support was there ready to help when i found myself in a situation where some parts were in bad shape or there were wood knuts and or semething broke in the prosses. Good enough for the price. You can eassily add more wood to make it stronger and or add fitures to it.

Nice!

Got this for the kiddos because of COVID. They go outside everyday now (whereas before they barely went out to play). My only complaints would have to be that the size drillbit you need to make holes on the ladder was too big, so start with a smaller size and make sure the screw has friction. The size they specified was so big that when we put the screw in the hole it didn't make friction so we had to make new holes. The swingset in total took 17.5 hours in 3 days to put together. We laid all the parts out and took inventory prior. There was some pieces of wood with minor split wood but it would've been a headache to return on something that would still work. The door hinge has already started to fall off, thus creating a crooked door so we are gonna try fixing that. And when we first got the swing it didn't creak and now a month into having it, it creaks while swinging (a 50lb child). This review really makes it sound like the swing is falling apart but it isn't, it's just little defects here and there. I don't foresee the swing lasting longer than 5 years (I have a very hyperactive ADHD/Autistic child who spends a lot of time on it). Other than that, the swingset is pretty cool and is definitely a jaw-dropper in the neighborhood lol.

Perfect size for our backyard with lots to do!

Glad we chose the Thunder Ridge and not one of the larger sets. It is the right size and still has all of the features of the other sets (swing, slide, monkey bars, picnic table and fort). Will definitely recommend to others who are looking for a play set for their kids.
