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.

Great Design

We looked for a set for about a year. Not wanting to spend insane money, but needing to find one that we loved and would hold up for a long time. I loved that Backyard Discovery had sets with really cute designs. This one reminded me of the one my Dad built in our backyard when we were kids with the two levels, but this one is way nicer. Looks wise, 5 stars. We love this set. We couldn’t put it together ourselves so we loved that they had a service we could pay for for setup. That service took months to contact us which was very annoying but once they did come, the assembly was flawless. It took 3 guys who do it for a living 10 or 11 hours to put together though so if you’re planning on building it yourself keep that in mind. Durability wise, I can’t speak to the longevity since we just got it, but it’s decent quality. I mean, the wood is NOT thick and it’s not like adults can climb up in it, but my 2.5 year old is obsessed and I think it’ll hold up for the kiddos until they’re much much older. I have gotten up in there, but when stepping on the ladder I’m very cautious and this slide is not for adults. Will it last forever? Probably not. Is it decent quality, yes. Will a bunch of 10 year olds be playing in it? No, it’s not big enough and i’m not quite sure about the weight limit. Overall, happy. But if i bought it thinking it would last my kids’ whole childhood I would probably have been disappointed. But those sets cost so much money! So i’m happy with our decision.

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!

Great Quality! Kids love it!

We bought this a couple months ago and it has been such a hit! Keeps the kids busy and we know they won’t grow out of it anytime soon! It took my husband the weekend to put it together on his own. I’d say it’s time consuming but the end result is worth it! The wood has held up well in the wild weather of the northeast. We put rubber mulch around it to add safety with the height. It’s a great investment! Enjoy!

Love the 2 clubhouses!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Last summer, we moved from North Carolina to Michigan and we where unable to take our old swingset. My 6 year old son was completely heartbroken. This year, once the weather finally warmed up, we purchased the Malibu playground. My son loves this set, more so than the other.

So adorable!!

My husband and I decided on this one for our little girl and I’m so glad we did. It is so cute and I love all the little features it has. My daughter loves it and has been playing nonstop on it. There was definitely a lot of steps for putting it together but husband was able to do it easily it just took a little bit. If you are debating on buying go for it you won’t be disappointed!

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.

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.

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.
