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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Kids love it!

Definitely not a quick assembly. After separating all the peices and getting organized, it took about 22 hours of work to put together. A labor of love for sure! My kids love having their own "park" in their backyard. Definitely reccomend!

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.
