Adorable play set

The play set is amazing but curtains were not coordinated well so stripe is off in them and sort of annoys me. Slide was "lost" in shipping and hopefully will be here soon but swing set has been up over a week sans slide. The stairs are amazing and a great touch. I only wish I could switch out the monkey bars for another set of swings. The roof is awesome and not just a tarp so I love that!!! Disappointed about slide and apparently this is not the first time that a slide has been lost in transit! So annoying! But overall my kids adore it.

Terrible. Not safe

We purchased this last fall and it is already falling apart. We even paid to have this assembled. I do not feel safe letting my kids play on this.

Awesome Playset

It took my husband and I 2 half days and one full day to build. The app was a huge help, definitely pay attention to where it says to pre drill, if you skip that step wood will split. We did have 1 hiccup with instructions on the last step and customer service was excellent helping us through it. Our 8 year old and her friend LOVE this playset! It looks beautiful in our yard and seems sturdy. Very happy with this purchase!

Save your money

I loved this set initially. However, after a year it was kindling. The boards are only an inch thick. We had a professional put it together to make sure everything was done well, but it really didn't matter. Within a few months boards were missing from the roof because they don't hold up during any spring storms if winds are over 15 mph. Save your money and buy something that'll last longer than a year or two.

Something for everyone!

The oceanview swing set has been an excellent purchase! I like the open air design because I can see all the kids regardless where they are on the swing set. The stairs are great for younger kids that can't climb ladder alone yet. The hammock is a neat feature that I haven’t seen on other swing sets and the kids really enjoy. I love that we can track the kids growth throughout the years with the 5’ measuring stick. Overall, we are very satisfied with this swing set. It’s a great choice for safe and fun play. I highly recommend.

Very disappointed

Ordered this play set back on November 17th for our grandchildren for christmas they came and put it together about 2 weeks later. the two gentlemen came to the house set up the swing set after they left we went out and was mortified to see screws missing, boards split and bolts put in backward so as a child could get hurt on. It is now January 4th and my grandchildren still can not play on this set as it is unsafe. I'm so frustrated that I'm at the point I just want my money back and i will go with another company.

It's been fun

We hired someone to assemble the play set. Be sure to paint or stain as they state. I made the mistake of not checking the bottom boards for rotting; the mulch we applied around the play set held too much moisture and began to rot the boards. It's been quiet a process to stabilize the rot then we added rubber mulch instead around the immediate area to the play set.

The BILT app was designed for the DIY person, such as yourself. Thank you for recommending it.

Pay For The Installation

I have been working on this with my father in law for 2 weeks now. We have only been able to do 4-5 hours a day and we missed a few days. But the instructions are so bad!! If you have experience or you are good at directions for this kind of stuff then it is probably easy. But not for us. We have had to change around pieces and take apart everything just because one board was upside down. And the directions do not help, the pictures are bad and its hard to tell with some of this stuff. you have to be very detailed oriented throughout the process or you will end up starting over because each stage depends on the previous stage being correct. They T shape at the roof kept cracking the wood with the provided screw. so we had to improvise, that later cost us putting the roof on like it should. The inner boards do not line up to the bolt wholes provided and the lining is bad. but wood is wood. Now that it is together my 3 year old loves the slide. And the stairs make it easier for her to get up to the top. Overall I am still happy with the purchase because it makes my daughter so happy. It was worth it. But in retrospect I wish I would had just paid for the installation and saved myself the time and the headache..
