Fun for the kids

I bought this prior to the pandemic taking hold, and it took about a month for delivery right when everything closed down so it gave my fiancé something to do with building it. He and my father in law had it together in less than two days with non- stop working, all except the outpost or deck - whatever you want to call it. We were missing the screws that attached those boards. I called customer service and they had those screws sent out to us within 3 days which was pretty awesome. Otherwise all pieces were delivered in the boxes. The swing set itself is eye pleasing in the backyard. It is noisy when my older children use the swings as you can hear the wood creaking. My youngest child was the one we mainly had in mind when we purchased it as it will give many years ahead of fun. Overall 4 out of 5 stars because one main boards on the ladder has a split in the wood, the directions were confusing at times, and the creaky noise level makes me worry about the sturdiness of it for years to come.

Fun for all

Great design, fun features with usable space layout and easy assembly. I chose this model and company after researching many others in terms of features, material, cost and time (I even sketched and costed out my own play structure design). I did not expect an industrial/commercial grade lumber or steel play set you find at schools or parks. This is made of Chinese Cedar and seems to holding up so far. I have only encountered a few concerns with a cracked board or deep drawn bolts or screws (just adjust your screw gun torque settings accordingly). The instructions were easy to follow and the lumber packaging per box was somewhat organized accordingly but search time for nuts/bolts and boards was more time consuming then the actual assembly. I upgraded the anchoring stakes to a screw in auger anchors and my structure is rock solid with me climbing, swinging and chasing throughout. I assembled this alone in 16 hours over 2 days with “help” only from my 3 & 5 yr old boys. I am happy with this purchase and my boys are even happier to have something to play on every day.

Lots of Activities!

We ordered this for our 4 and 6yr old sons a couple months ago to replace an older playset. I believe it noted it would take about 20 hours to put together with 2 people. I did it myself in about that time. Went together easily and the instructions were well detailed. There are lots of activities on this set. Our boy's favorite part is the crow's (eagle's) nest. I would recommend this playset.

The New Tree House!!!

We assembled the playground recently for my kids and they absolutely love it!!! Everyone who sees it from the street refers to it as a tree house because of the nearby fruit trees that we have. So after awhile we have been using that same reference. The kids are enjoying this so much we are glad we made this purchase....

Love this purchase!

We bought this swing set back in February and I am so glad we did. The whole family loves this set. I did a lot of research on a swing set that would grow with my kids. I have a 3 and 8 year old and it has been the best thing during this Covid-19 pandemic. They play every day and hours at a time. They love the clubhouse and do lots of pretend play. The assembly took one person 13 hours to put together. Not bad considering other reviews that we have read. Thank you Backyard Discovery for hours of fun!

Endless fun!

I purchased this for my grandchildren almost a year ago and they still absolutely love it! They call it their playground. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made.

Unique Design!

We bought this play-set last year for our 7 yo and he loves it. The design is so unique and fits in with the style of our house. We get compliments on it all the time. It's holding up well under the strain of two feisty boys!

Good For All Ages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My child loves the monkey bars. My other child loved the telescope thinking he's in Paw Patrol. Love the light and the net swing.

Great instructions

Was rough getting all the wood parts needed for each step, the numbers and letters either were really hard to see or weren't there but I got it together by myself in 8 hours.
