Awesome features

We are grandparents of 3. We watch them 5 days a week. We needed something for them to play on. They were always stuck inside. We decided on a swing set. We did a lot of searching and decided on this one. So glad we did, they love it. We don't have a very big yard but it fits nicely. They will enjoy this for years.

Love this play set!

We got this for our grandchildren. We went into it knowing it would be a LOT of work putting it together. But we had time so we got it. It did take a lot of time to assemble (days) but it was so worth it. It is very well constructed and is a solid piece of equipment. Our grandkids adore it!

This thing is awesome!

If you can build IKEA furniture, you can build this gigantic swing set. Sure, it might take ~20 hours and require periodic assistance, but it went together very easily and is very high quality for a great price! I love Backyard Discovery's Safe-T-Fuse hardware and can tell the people who designed it really had truly considered how to create a long lasting swing set with high quality. Our kids love it and the cedar looks (and smells) beautiful!

Kids love it!!

My kids absolutely love their new swing set! My only concern is how close the swings are to each other. It's very hard to use all 3 swings at the same time without someone bumping into another person.

A fun swing set

We really like the swing set. Our children and their friends are really enjoying it. The installation crew contracted with Sam's did a great job. They worked really hard to be sure the swing set was level and put together well. The telescope did break off after one day. The screw seems too short for a toy that would have so much touching by children. We are just going to leave it off/will not try to reattach.

Quality for less

We purchased this for our kids in 2018. It was shipped on time and in 4 separate boxes all with packing slips included. Instructions were easy to follow and clearly identified what parts were needed and which box they were in. The only thing that we sometimes struggled with was identifying the part stamp on the lumber. Some were either not marked or the stain on the wood made them unreadable. There was however a good description of the dimensions of the lumber so we were able to work from that. My wife and I, both with higher end skills were able to put it together in about 15 working hours. I cannot speak to the longevity of the product but based on the materials used in construction, and their warranty I believe it will last a long time. Thank You Back Yard Discovery for making an affordable quality solution to the outdoor playset.

Prompt and accurate

I purchased this to give my child and guests an additional entertainment feature to go with our pool. There is plenty of fun to be had on this unit. Easily, it can entertain 6 children. I assembled it myself in about a total of 15 hours without any additional help. It arrived in prompt and accurate form. Directions were clear. All parts were there. All in all a nice unit.

Kids love it!

This is a great playset for our 4, 5, and 6 year old. We built ourselves in 2 days and with the help of setting boards/bolts out alphabetically/numerically really helped with each set up. Def need 2 or more strong women/men to put together. The purchase and delivery was very fast and user friendly.

Definitely buy when on sale

Definitely buy this playset when it is on sale, the wood quality does NOT make it worth full price. The playset arrived in 4 boxes. Each box contains a packing list showing what is in that box. Keep each box separate when assembling. Also, pay very close attention to the labels on each bag of screws/bolts etc. Some are the exact same part, except the color is different- this makes a difference. It does take quaite some time to put together, but isnt really that difficult. The wood is very light and splinters easily, so be careful when assembling. Aside from the wood not being the best quality, it is fun for my 6 year old to play on, and time will tell how well it holds up.

Cheap flimsy wood

Still trying to put this together, wood is flimsy and some boards came split when building the second story exactly as instructed on of the beams was too heavy for the flimsy wood it was screwed to and fell pulling the bolt right out. Now we are at a stand still after having to order a new piece, the whole project had been frustrating. I just hope after it is built that it stays together, sure feels cheap for a 2000 set!
