Backyard Discovery Cedar Swing Set with 2 Swing(s) , 1 Slide(s)

Bought for our twin boys for an early 3rd birthday present! They LOVE it! It looks great and is very sturdy.

This took forever to assemble, but if a retired army vet grandpa and a mom with a bad back can do it, you probably can, too! It is sturdy and totally worth it for a large four-year-old! I figure he's got at least five years to play on this, no problem, with how fast they grow. We set this up in our backyard around April, so it's been enduring a mix of harsh heat, dry weather, wet weather, wind storms, and snow for about 7 months. NO issues! The wood feels a bit light and splinters, so GO SLOW for sure. But it's so beautiful put together, super heavy, and even with the crazy winds we get i have no fear of it tipping over. The kid loved the rock wall and slide the most, but we did eventually add the swing set to the opposite side. I will note that this is not officially recommended by the company or directions, but we were able to reenforce it and it's held up great! Of course, the best course of action is to follow the instructions for safety! Things that helped: - laid out all the pieces and spent three full days with a helper to carefully assemble. - pre drilled holes where needed to prevent wood splitting - had our own power tools and ladder - dug out and leveled (with sand) the base area of the fort - will seal the wood next spring (I wish I'd sealed earlier, but it is holding up so well) - really thought through placement and paid attention to swings and slides so it was safe for child play

Great playset. It is exactly what I thought it would be. Assembly was simple and instructions were clear. My daughter loves it and I would buy it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The build was a pain, but I can't blame the instructions they were pretty good. If anyone has ever built anything for a kid before it's like your making a NASA space rocket. It took me and 3 other guys about 8 hours. In the picture there was some bricks under the swing end, ended up fixing that issue. We didn't realize until after we were done just how unlevel my backyard was. The picture is from day one. Overall my kid loves it and his friends do too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We absolutely love our playground from backyard discovery! Our boys play on the time on this! They would be on it 24/7 if they could. It was our best investment for our backyard. So many memories will be made in our background with our two boys with our new playground! :)
