Pretty durable once assembled but building material is just okay. Very nice looking once assembled. Kids ages 3-8 have used it but it really only holds 2 kids at a time on the platform. It's easy to move around the yard with a few people. The tower we moved all around with just 2 of us. Good value for the money. Performance and longevity is unknown but my guess would be 3 years.

It took me just under 6 hours with 3 teenage boys to assemble. If you organize the pieces (by letter for the boards and keep the nuts/bolts in labeled bags) its pretty easy. Make sure you have extra T30 bits as we broke quite a few!It was actually fun to put together with my oldest and his friends and the pure joy on my 2 little ones faces when they got home and saw their surprise was wonderful. It is good quality and feels sturdy.

it’s a pain in the butt to put together. and i mean realllyyy a pain in the butt. i did most of it myself, with some occasional help from a couple different people and it took about 2 weeks. (3 kids, 3 dogs, and weather were also a factor). pay attention to EVERY detail. you’ll have to make your own holes in some pieces which sucks. some screws/bolts don’t fit in certain spots so we ended up running out of certain ones and having extra of others. it’s a nice playset, it seems durable. and i hope it lasts a while, because i never want to have to build something like this again.

I just put this up and my 3 year loves it. I bought because of the wood roof (not just a tarp) and playhouse. However these items are what make it so time consuming. Also installation tips: do an inventory check. I was shorted several wood parts. it takes about 2 weeks to get these after ordering. Also I organized each part alphabetically (don't laugh, it helps). If I had it to over I would lay out all the pieces to each section before I even started the first step.After seeing how much my son loves this set with the playhouse I'm glad he has it. But I'm a busy mom and I wanted to do as much of this myself as I could. But it was a nightmare to put together because every little cute detail needs to be assembled. Every time I would start on it, it would rain, or my son would "need me" or being hanging off me. This is not a simple project that is easy for the person with no carpentry skill and little time. Make sure you have a full (2 days) to work uninterrupted with clear weather. They do have a # to call to have someone put it together for you. I would do that if I had to do it again. It would be worth it.Update two years later. I downgraded my rating from 3 to 1 stars. This is a piece of junk. Everytime the wind blows it rips this to pieces. Do not buy. Pay the money for one of those "built rite" super expensive playsets because as it stands now the play set is just a leaning tower to my stupidity for purchasing something so cheap.

We recently purchased this swing set, and while we were very happy with it initially, a strong windstorm unfortunately overturned it and caused significant damage. I reached out to the manufacturer, Backyard Discovery, fully expecting to be told that storm damage wasn’t covered—which is totally understandable.To my surprise, they responded immediately and were incredibly helpful. Even though the damage wasn’t covered under warranty, they still provided the replacement parts at no cost. Their willingness to help and the speed of their response truly impressed me.The swing set itself is great quality and my kids loved it before the storm. But what really sets this company apart is their customer support. Highly recommend!

After browsing to find the right one for our yard we settled on this model. For the price it seemed like a good deal. It came after a couple weeks which I was ok with as it is a large item, and once unpacked we got to work assembling.So here is where I found some faults. A couple of the larger boards were already split and there was quite a few boards that did not have the pre drilled screw holes.Some of the boards had a rough finish which is not what I was expecting but for me the split pieces made this a regrettable purchase. I managed to replace some pieces with some wood I bought and cut the same size but that should not be necessary at all. (See pics)At the end of the day it took 2 of us most of the day to assemble and fix what needed it and it’s now being used by the kids but this could have been a lot better if only the quality control was better.Buy with caution

This playset is wonderful! So cute that it has a door to be semiprivate if playing dolls or other toys on it. There is a little ledge by the bay window that you can add things to for decoration as well. I bought a couple little succulents to put on there and my daughter loves them there. We also liked that this play set had monkey bars as a lot of them don't. My husband also anchored this playset into the ground for added safety and stability!
