Just Right!!

This play set has been perfect for our 3 year old and any other friends and/or cousins that come over. Multiple kids can swing at a time, play beneath, sir beneath, or play up top and go down the slide. Oh yeah, don't forget the rock wall. It has been very sturdy and was relatively easy to assemble. Instructions were very easy to follow. I highly suggest this play set if you don't want anything too big but also want a lot of features. And the price is very reasonable for what you get.

Great Purchase for the price

I purchased this set for my 3 year old. It was very overwhelming to see hundreds of pieces of wood when the boxes were opened. We inventoried everything and all pieces were accounted for. None of the wood for the set was cracked. I took the suggestion of a previous reviewer and put a water seal on all the wood prior to construction. Total build time was right around 20 hours. I had two experienced carpenters assemble the set while the two others 'pre-staged" each step to make the process easier for assembly. The set is sturdy and my 3 year old son loves it. I like to read reviews prior to purchasing products but rarely write them. This product was worth writing about.

Great play set!

I purchased this play set a few months ago for my 3 year old grandson. I was impressed with it once we got it put together. It looks great in our backyard and has several play features including the swings, slide, and climbing wall. It is very sturdy and safe. My grandson loves playing on it!

The look on my son's face was worth every cent

We looked around for several weeks, and finally determined that this was the best deal for us. Has the most features we wanted, and was by far the best price we found. We got a local Houston company to assemble it for us, as I am the worlds WORST handyman (I'm serious...I am TERRIBLE at that kind of stuff). The 2 guys got it assembled in about 5 hours, and it was perfect. When my son came home from school he was so excited he couldn't stop smiling for hours. Thank you Sam's Club for finding this gem!

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.

Very Happy with Playset

We bought this playset for our three kids and they love it! I too chose to put together as much of the playset as I could in our garage, out of the weather, on a solid, level surface. I assembled the tower in the garage up until the section that was to support the roof needed to be installed and then myself and one other helper turned it on its side and carried it to the back yard, where I then completed the tower and roof. I also assembled the swing beam and hardware in the garage and then set that aside. I was impressed with the design and fit of the many parts and pieces, but STRONGLY recommend that you sort the pieces prior to starting the assembly. We put all the hardware on a card table and sorted it for ease of locating it as we progressed through the project. Be careful when you get going to note which side of the structure some of the boards attach to and note the location of the holes, thinking ahead to the next step, so you attach the boards properly, since sometimes the instructions were a bit unclear. Good luck and take your time and space it out, so you don't burn out. I used it as an opportunity to get my 8 year old involved and let him help as much as he could and he loved it. One last thing, have two cordless drills. One for the wood screws and one for the hardware designed for the set.

Nice swing set kit!

A couple bolts missing here and there, and needed to use a few extra screws to strengthen it, and the instructions could have been a little clearer. Had to undo/ redo a couple of steps during the process. The product was shipped in 3 boxes. Thanks to the delivery man, we only opened the boxes and did not empty all out in the yard. The manifest in each box helped to locate the parts quickly. Overall it is a nice product, and it takes more than the 30 man hours to assemble. Sturdy when assembled! My daughter loves it! Only4 stars due to missing hardware and not enough strengthening features / for a windy area.

Great play set

We bought this set as a present for our daughters 3rd birthday. We wanted something that would last and be sturdy and we absolutely got that when we bought our backyard discovery set. Lee have had it for 2 months now and it has been a great addition to our backyard fun!

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!

Great fun but poor wood quality

My child loves it but the wood is not finished well. Has many splintering boards and a hand full of cracks.
