We purchased this swingset in March/April and planned to build it before the nice weather came. We ran into some issues in the four boxes that it was delivered and ended up having to sit outside with a tarp covering them for a few weeks. I was a little nervous it would affect some of the wood but it did not. Once my husband started building it, he worked on it a few hours every day and it took about two weeks to complete. He used the app BILT which was a lifesaver. He said it was very easy to follow along the instructions on that rather than the instruction paper it came with. once it was completed, my kids were so excited to see it and couldn’t believe how big it was. it looks absolutely beautiful in our backyard and is nice and large for the kids to grow into. We will be happy with this product for the next 10+ years. We have received so many compliments on how big and nice it is. We didn’t have any issues with wood being damaged or pieces missing at all like some other reviews mentioned. The delivery process was smooth and they kept me informed the whole time. Overall, very happy with the site and would buy another! FYI, I researched probably every swingset out there before choosing this one

Assembled Summer 2018. All parts accounted for in delivery. Recommend organizing piles of wood by letter. Roughly 40 hours to build and 10 hours to put 1 coat of sealant. Only tricky item was using the right bolt, not only in size but color. Daughter and neighbors love the set. Playhouse a bit small but fort is 6' tall inside. Rear playhouse window could use a small board across. Comes with anchors. Needs option for sandbox cover.

We live in FL and my 3 kids can spend hours playing in the sandbox, my older 2 love swinging, and the neighbor kids love coming over to play on it. We added a ships wheel and telescope. I love seeing their imaginations run wild while being outside. It brings a real “wow” factor to the space!

We purchased as a Christmas gift for our 4 kids. We planned needing a week or more to assemble, but we're pleasantly shocked to find that with teamwork, we were able to assemble in three days (between weather breaks). The kids have loved it (ages 2-8) and look forward to adventuring outside daily!

We bought ours last fall for our grandson’s birthday party. We thought we could just put it together in a few hours..no big deal. Not so! It took us over 15 hours and that was with 3 people working together! But it was totally worth it. The kids loved it and now with our third grandchild on the way, we know it will be enjoyed for many years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun layout for a playset. I have four kids and they really enjoy playing tag (among other things) on the set. The smaller portion is easy for a toddler to safely climb up and down and the older kids love the bigger portion. They spend hours on it! I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Took two to three days for us to build. We organized all of the parts beforehand and it helped a lot. Using the app and the paper instructions allowed us to work on two different sections at the same time, which was nice.

I purchased this playset several months in advance just to be ready when spring came to assemble. I was so relieved when the directions were so specific and thorough. I am not a young woman by any stretch but i have a six year old that needed this play set. My husband had an injury and couldn't do much to help. I wasn't sure if I could do it but I did it!!! Best advice follow the directions take your time and make sure you check and double check you have the board in the right place in the right position. Took a while with lots of rainouts but wasn't bad at all. Great purchase, thanks.

We bought this playset for our first one and we absolutely love it! It’s so big for plenty of kids to play on and endless activities to keep kids attention. My daughters play on it all day long every day. The little cottage with kitchen is the cutest thing. It’s a playhouse and swing set in one! We would definitely recommend this one!

[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!!

We are remodeling our entire backyard and bought this set as well your Cordova gazebo and Summerville pergola. The project goes slow when nearly all the work is being done by retired folks in their 60's- as you can see we are making progress and look forward to enjoying with our grandkids all the Backyard Discovery products in the very near future!
