We put this swing set together over the weekend. We were missing a few washers. The biggest issue I have is that the wood is very cheap and thin compared to other higher quality swing sets we have seen or had. I'm worried this swing set won't last very many seasons outside like it should for the price. Tim

My parents got this playset for my children, they are so excited about it. It seems to be ok quality , except for some minor issues...the roof which was already put together fell apart the first wind we had. Also don't expect average or small children to be able to use the monkey bars, the are extremely tall, my 6ft husband could use them. Overall it is a pretty nice set and my children love it.

We purchased this swing set during the beginning of the Covid pandemic which was on the rise in our state of NY. Being concerned about not being able to bring our kids anywhere to play for a while we decided to go for it and purchase this swing set. We are very happy we did as it has brought hours of fun to our backyard. We love the little clubhouse feature and the picnic area but the favorite by far is the swings. Our only complaint is during assembly 3 of the boards split while screwing in nails/bolts. We contacted backyard discovery and they quickly sent replacement boards. The kids love it!

We bought this swing set after my son turned 3. We wanted to buy a set our kids could grow into and use for many years. We researched many swing sets, and decided on the Thunder Ridge set. We liked that it had 2 swings and the and the third was for two kids to use- Little brother will be big enough soon! The space in the fort- both the bottom and "top" floor is a good height so that as my sons grow they will be able to stand and play in it comfortably for a while. The slide has bumps along the way. It really bumps my son quite a bit. I had to teach him how to hold the sides so he wouldn't go so fast over them. The manual was fairly easy to use. The day before setting up, I had everything out of the boxes and in alphabetical and numerical order- each piece was labeled. On set-up day, it made it so much easier to find the pieces we needed as we progressed through the steps. You will need at least one drill, two is better, as well as a small crew to help assemble. Not much arrived pre-assembled as I had expected. It took 2 days for our crew of 5 to put it together. My boys love the swing set and visiting friends have a great time playing on our "playground," too.

My grandkids helped their father put it together and are enjoying the many features. The challenge is that I don't think it will last as long as I expected. The wood is not as sturdy as I thought and after several months, the structure is not as sound as I thought.

Although it took a good chunk of time, the instruction videos that came with the playset were so incredibly helpful in the process. We love the fact that all the boards were pre finished and pre drilled for easy assembly as well, and the stained wood makes for a beautiful end product. Our daughter has absolutely Loved her new swing set.

We bought this in spring for my daughter and she loves it! She loves playing on the swings and going down the slide. The best part about this is that it has a little bit of everything. It's perfect for having to stay home during the corona virus and not being able to go to the playground. The slide is FAST and may be a little scary for some kids.

Less than 6 months after I bought this set the slide broke injuring the child. The support underneath the slide is minimal and one of the support bars underneath broke while a child was going down it. Unfortunately now my children cannot use the slide. There have also been several boards that have already started splitting. I've been a little disappointed in its quality.

We bought this May 2020 and set up a week after delivery. Delivery provider didn't communicate very well. We literally walked out and were surprised to see the boxes placed by our garage. We opened the boxes and went through the checklist that was provided to make sure there was nothing missing. The morning of, we placed all the pieces in alphabetical order. I would recommend doing this the day before if possible. We placed all smaller items, like screws, spread out on a table. This helped speed up the process. Playset was finished in 9 hours (4 men). Wood is very thin and light and some wood was splintered. We will be sealing soon. Overall satisfied!

We purchased this set in April and it came on schedule however we paid extra to have the swingset installed. We were given a date 4 weeks after delivery! Which it states 7-10 days from delivery. When we got to that date, the appointment was cancelled due to weather (understandably) but our new day is now at the end of May! This will have been sitting in our garage for 6 weeks. Very disappointed.
