Great Product

Bought this play set to replace a trampoline. The play set is great because it can accommodate kids of a variety of ages. Asesmbly takes time but the quality of the wood and fasteners exceeded my expectations. The instructions were very good. All the kids love it!

Amazing play set!

Love features and everything it has to offer. My daughter loves this swing set and could live in it if I let her. Easy to set up and build, especially using the mobile app. Only recommendation would be I wish they treated the wood with a water sealant before they packaged it and shipped it. I would pay extra for a water sealant wood option because it will make it last a lot longer. I ended up doing it on my own after I built it but would be much easier to do before it was built.

A great gift for kids

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] when I received 4 giant boxes, I said man, this needs a lot of works. yes, it does. if you are not super handy, this might not be a good idea to setup by yourself. all 4 giant boxes are super heavy, you need a helper, a strong helper. when I opened the boxes, there are hundreds of pieces with markings and numbers on it, what I did was moved my cars out of garage, took 2 hours to separate all pieces into order. I think this is very important, it will save you a lot of hours later for searching. the Menu was Clear and informative, you just follow the step, I found some pieces cracked, but not big deal, those were not in the supporting frame, I put extra screw to secure. the slide was a little challenge to put into the frame, you will need a people to hold the frame when you can bend the slide into position. we put this in frond of my yard, when we half way done, even my neighbors kids couldn't wait until it gets done. the whole setup took me and my wife about 8 days to finish, we only put 3-5 hours each day. I put another clear coating from Sherwin-Williams, and let it dry out two days, now my kids, and my neighbor kids are enjoying it everyday. overall, this is a great purchase, my kids are not so addicted to the playground in the park during this COVID, they can safely play with their own.

Perfect gift

I bought this for my three year-old grandson last year when he wasn't able to go to a playground due to COVID. He absolutely loves his "playground"! He especially likes the little clubhouse/kitchen. It's a little smaller than it looks in the picture, but it's plenty big enough for young children.

A winner

I bought this last year during a time when swing sets were difficult to get. It took a few days to assemble but absolutely worth the time. My grandkids love it. They couldn’t wait for the warmer weather to come so they could play on it again. It’s well made, sturdy. It has so many things they can do on it.

Barrow grandkids swingset

OMG!! My grandkids love this playset/swingset. My granddaughter says it is the BEST swing ever!! I have a 6 yr old grandson, and 2 granddaughters - 4 yr old and 2 yrs old and they are in heaven. They love the clubhouse with the storage boxes for the grilling and kitchen items. The slide is high and awesome. The double swing seesaw is a huge hit. They all fight to see which two we get on it first.

My daughter loves it!

I have about 12 hours in total build time and a few hours in moving from the shop to the yard and setting it up. i only had help when i was moving it. Its BIG!! only issue i has was some of the bolts would strip out or not get tight. I purchased some large deck screws and bolts to help with that. Shipping was very fast. we had it 3 days after we ordered it.

Good quality

The downsides: it took us (two adults, one a carpenter) 3 full days to put this set together, a few boards were cracked but not so bad that they couldn't be used, and we had to trim the final boards for the flooring because they did not fit completely into the space. I am very pleased with this purchase! It was well worth the cost, and seems very sturdy. Ours is on a very slight hill so we did anchor it down, and have not had any issues. It has been through several storms and seems to still be in good condition. We have had it for a year now. This spring when we first came out to use it, we did discover that some sort of animal had built a nest in one of the bench boxes over the winter, but no big deal. We dumped it out and it was good to go. We also chose to seal where the two roof pieces connect at the top. My two big dogs love to climb up into the playhouse with the kids and go down the slide, so far everything is holding up nicely! The kids are 7, 8, and 10. The dogs are 110 and 75lbs each.

Great Purchase

I bought this a few months ago, and couldn't be happier. It is structurally sound, and directions are surprisingly easy to follow. The directions quoted 18 hours for 2 people, I did it by myself in 15 hours. There are portions that 2 people would make it a lot easier. I had the help of a 2-wheeled dolly and am pretty handy to begin with. The set in over engineered (specific screw for a specific board) so make sure you follow the hardware instructions.Overall couldn't be happier and either could my kids. **note in the photo I did not hang the seasaw swing as I put a baby swing in that spot
