Our grandkids love it!

We have had ours for a about a year and our grandkids can't wait to come over and swing and climb up to the tower and hang out and then slide down!! The stakes included do not withstand 70 mph winds though!

Kids love it!

Our boys have been using their Backyard Discovery- Monterey swing set non stop since my hubby put it together. Their favorite is having a lunch picnic on it when it's nice out or going down the slide when there's a fresh coat of snow on it...extra fast as they would say!

Awesome Playground

We got this playground for our 2yr old daughter after much research and based mostly on the goods reviews. Well the reviews were accurate, it was much easier to assemble than the playground we got for my niece and nephews a few years back and much better quality. My daughter loves it and plays on it pretty much everyday. It took my husband and my brother about 18 hours to put together and the instructions were easy to read and all the parts were appropriately labeled. Overall great purchase and I would happily recommend this product to anyone in search of a playground.

Great look and sturdy

We bought this set in the summer of 2013. We've had it up for about 3 months. We have a 4 year old boy, who doesn't play on it as much as we like - but he enjoys it when the kids in the neighborhood come over and share it with him. The structure is sturdy and well thought out. We did have a small snag with some holes that were drilled incorrectly. Fortunately Daddy is pretty handy and was able to redrill the holes and made it work. It took a few weekends to complete, but life gets in the way when you are parent who likes to put these things together yourself. I'd recommend having a professional help with construction, so you won't have precious weekends taken up with backyard projects.

Fun for all

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] That is for my son . He's only two but has many more years to go into this. He loves almost everything about the swingset especially his little “house“ area. Make sure you organize all pieces prior to setting set up. And having a helper or two makes it slot easier. Have fun and be patient during set up. Some steps can be tricky and may have to go back a page. But such a great color wood and attractive swingset!

Great so far

We bought this for our 2.5 year old daughter, in May and she loves the glider and slide. We think she will get many years of fun out of this. We live in Colorado so time will tell how it holds up in the cold, snowy winters. We did have a screw that was stripped (part of the frame stability and only one provided) and some typical wood cracking. We will be following up with customer service soon to get another screw sent out so we can be sure it remains stable. The slide is very fast for little kiddos, so be ready to catch them and teach proper slide control.

Nice but has a few flaws

Very nice overall. Great quality and great price. Instructions were a bit hit or miss. Pictures would show one way and in the next panel be displayed a different way. Not all the boards fit right, we had to cut at least two despite measuring correctly and using the pre drilled holes. It took 2 relatively handy men approx. 11 hours to assemble which was quicker than I anticipated. Kids love it and it looks beautiful. Would recommend but caution people about the instructions, they can be a bit misleading.

Great Swing Set for the Price!

I purchased this set at a local Sam's club after seeing the good reviews here online. After opening all the boxes, I was a little worried since the wood seemed a little flimsy, however, after it's all put toghether, it is actually quite strong and rigid. The hardward and fasteners supplied are top notch and they give you quite a few extra just in case. I am quite handy and it took me a good 20-30 hours to assemble. I did it when I could...a few hours here and there, so be prepared for the time commitment. After it was all assembled, I did use my own stakes to anchor to the ground. I bought them at Lowes...they are 24" steel stakes for concrete forms and are easier to drive closely to the playset in the ground. I used them at all the corners of every part of playset....this thing does not move what so ever now. I also applied a clear sealer over the entire playset. Overall, I'm very happy and so are all the kids!!!

Great Company to deal with

Product arrived on the day it was slotted to be arrived. The trucking company was about 3 hours past their delivery window, but the driver was so amazing. He apologized profusely about the time window and even helped my husband carry all the boxes to the garage (something we knew was not in the delivery contract). We greatly appreciated it. The slide was damaged when we received it and the company was great about replacing it quickly. All in all, our daughter loves the play set!

A lifesaver!

Our daughter was really missing the park and is now delighted to have regular access to a swing, glider and small rooms to play in. Definitely budget a lot of time if you are assembling at home (with no childcare). Several key stages need two people and although most pieces are pre-drilled, several steps toward the end require careful measuring and drilling.
