disappointing

Good while it lasted. This was expensive compared to other playsets that we looked at. The kids liked it while it lasted. But the wood started to rot and everything started falling apart within less than 2 years. Not expected when paying almost $2,000. Very disappointed.

I wish price was cheaper due to quality.

I bought this play set for my daughters and they absolutely love it. I do wish the play set was stronger, steadier. It’s been almost two months having it and the surface of the stairs has started peeling off. Other parts of the playhouse also started to peel as well. It could just be the barrier that protects the wood but for tue price we paid, we expected a product that didn’t show signs of wear so early.

My Kids Love It

Basically, I bought this for my children since they're at the lower end of the age range, and should be able to get the maximum use out of this. They love playing ands swinging on this playset with their little friends. Would definitely recommend this product.

Malibu Cedar Swing Set

This purchase was so disappointing. I would never buy anything else from this company. I am a newly single parent and had to move this last October. I wanted to put something nice and sturdy outside for my 4 yr old son to play on. I payed several people to put this together and when I got home I was almost in tears. The money that I spent could have been spent on something much much better for my child. Since I don't have 2 incomes any longer, this is especially disappointing that I am stuck with this piece of junk. The wood, doesn't even seem like real wood, it is super soft and very poor quality. The Thousands of screws and parts are ridiculous. Some of the pieces could have come in together like the roofs for the forts. I am going to have to use reinforcements under underneath because it is not safe for children. I have spent way too much money and should have just bought the lumber and hardware and designed one myself. I cannot believe this company is allowed to see this as safe to children. Half of the stuff you have to adjust and the holes are not right on some of it and they could at least put all the wood that are certain letters together. This company should compensate something. I am going to have to spend money on lumbar to reinforce several places and it make it safe. Never Ever Again will I purchase this or waste good money. This is not worth several hundred dollars.

Excellent playset

We purchased this set for our 2 kids in Nov 2020. We had looked at quite a few playhouses, but went with this one because the large playhouse is big enough for big kids. My kids are 7 and 9 and have a blast with their friends. Assembly took a while, as expected, but everything was clearly labeled. There's an app that you can download and it shows easy to follow directions, that really helped my husband. Overall a great playhouse!

Kid's Paradise

Even before arrival of the playset my youngest could not stop expressing his excitement for this design. We are beyond thrilled and excited for warmer weather to enjoy this set.

love it

This is a great set. Not that hard to assemble, and I was very impressed that with hundreds of pieces, not one was missing, not one was miss drilled. Everything went together just as it was designed to do. Great job.

Nice playset with some area for improvement

The play set is nice and took my fiancé and 2 others 16 hours to put together. However, I was disappointed at some of the Wood being significantly split. Overall a decent play set

My kid loves it!

We bought this for our son 6 months ago. He loves it. Putting it together was a task! Some of the instructions were lacking, but it was well worth it!

Great play house

I have had this for a year now. Holding up very well, I was so impressed that all parts were there (hundreds) and was plenty of screws and bolts. Every drilled hole was spot on, and the whole thing was very easy to building.
