Great fun for kids!

Especially during the pandemic when outdoor play dates are a safer option, this set has been amazing! My kids love it, abs their friends do, too. Great slide, sturdy swings. The kitchen doors are a bit flimsy, but the rest is great. Do budget for hiring someone to put it together if you’re low on time.

So much fun!

My boys LOVE their new playground! It was pretty easy to put together and the directions were very good. They love the two little playhouses and the stairs between them. It’s a very unique playground unlike anything I’ve seen before. We are very happy with our purchase.

Great layout, Quality issues

We really like the layout and design of this structure and it suits our 3-year-old well. However, I am disappointed in the quality. Unfortunately, several of the pieces split when we attached them and one of the swinging saloon doors won't stay on properly, due to either an ineffective hinge mechanism or improperly pre-drilled holes. Measurements between pre-drilled holes did not line up properly and the planks on the top house portion did not fit in the space provided, requiring us to cut approx. 1/2 an inch of wood off a plank on each side of the house to make the pieces fit. We will be able to make the structure work with a few adjustments, and ultimately, it should serve our family well. We just wish the measurements were more accurate.

Great play house set

I bought this at the middle of summer for my boys, ages 6, 8, and 10. I've been doing the assembly myself so it is taking longer but they've had a lot of fun! The instructions are pretty clear and the companion application to help is a great tool.

The Treehouse

Our boys have named their Backyard Discovery playset "The Treehouse". It has already provided hours upon hours of fun and we look forward to many more for many years to come. The quality and construction is excellent and the app took the mystery and frustration out of the assembly and installation.

Very intricate and durable!

We bought this last month and had it professionally installed. I didn't realize just how much there was to it as far as features! We absolutely love all the details and the kids are thrilled with it! We have 3 ranging from 5 to 10 and they all adore it. To be honest we live climbing over it and swinging on it as well! I feel so relaxed swinging on it and my kids think it's hilarious that mommy loves the set as much as they do!

Our favorite purchase of 2023!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this swing set in May of this year and it really has been one of the best things we have gotten for our kids!! Their favorite parts are their own “houses” my daughter says the small on is her house and the larger on is my sons! I can see them playing with this for years to come and we have honestly already gotten our moneys worth out of it!!

Big

Bought this less than a year ago and not very happy about it. The wood is to poorly made doesn’t last long. My 3 yr old was climbing the ladder when it broke and flipped him backwards, causing him to hurt his arm. It’s a big play set and looks nice but it’s to flimsy made.

Kids love it! They beg me to go outside to play.

I am very pleased with this set. I was able to put it together with the help of my dad. It took about 5 days and only 4-5 hrs each day. The directions were mostly straight forward but you do have to pay attention to details. Especially pay attention to what direction the pre drilled holes should be when assembling pieces. I made a few modifications to the directions to benefit me while assembling but nothing to serious. I stained the roof pieces before I put them up because I didn't want to have to get on a ladder to stain them. The cedar wood is nice because it should hold up well in the elements. All the pieces were there and I even had a few extra bolts left over. I took the parts list out of each box and went through the directions the night before and labeled what box the pieces were in so we didn't have to waste our time looking for the pieces. The slide was a bit challenging to put together and you will need patience. I had to get my two teenagers to hold it together while I put the screws in to keep it together. The kids love it and beg me to go outside and play on it every day. The sand box keeps them pretty busy too. They love to go from one play house to the next and zoom down the slide.I only have one swing up for now but can easily connect the other two at any time. I'm glad I got it for them especially since there's not much to do right now during the pandemic.
