Backyard Discovery Lakewood Cedar Wood Swing Set with Wave Slide, Clubhouse, Playhouse, Snack Bar Window, Picnic Area, Belt Swings, Trapeze, Full Front Door, Windows, Step Ladder, Outdoor Playset

Bought this for my little girl’s (8 yo) Christmas present. It took me a while (3 days) to assemble by myself but not difficult. Also, one of the poles cracked while inserting screws but called and got a replacement within couple of days hassle free. Recommend 2 persons to assemble or calling the company to have them assemble for you. Otherwise a good buy and sturdy for the kids to play on.

First, this build took my spouse and I over 2 full days to complete. We read the reviews and just planned for this and took our time and it was like a bonding experience for us. I’m an engineer and I’m constantly building prototypes so this wasn’t a huge deal but if you’re inexperienced in putting things together, impatient, etc then just pay someone to assemble it because you’ll get extremely frustrated and probably quit.My biggest complaint is they made the design overly complex and used a bunch of different types of fastener when they didn’t have to. This means you spend most of your time hunting down the parts rather then assembling anything. Like a jigsaw puzzle. It also had a missing bolt.I can’t stress this enough: Stay organized, be patient, give yourself plenty of time, and enjoy the build!I didn’t rate it lower because it’s incredible that I could get something this big my delivered right to my door for $800. It smells of lovely cedar too. It’s not a top quality product but they did a great job designing something that was realistically priced, ship-able and looks good.

Awesome playset! Very sturdy! I have 2 young boys who destroy everything in site and this playset is built to withstand them. Amazing! The only thing that was different then it said was the building time. The instructions said it would take 2 people 5 hours to build. It took my husband 15hours. No predrilled holes so you need to be somewhat skilled to know what to do. Otherwise our family is so so happy with this christmas purchase!One year after purchase, the playset started to fall apart because of the Arizona sun.

Warning! DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYSET! I purchased this playset for my son for Christmas, and it took over two days to assemble. Within less than three months of installation, we noticed major issues: large splits in the wood, warped boards that were included in our original delivery, and overall poor-quality materials. The playset has become unsafe for my son, with the stairs splitting and the top floor wood beginning to crack. When I contacted the company, they sent a full replacement—but expected me to completely rebuild the entire playset on my own. Their response was unrealistic and only highlights how poor the quality of this product truly is. BEWARE and run away!

We purchased this swingset for my grandson and he loves it and we are pleased with it. I was apprehensive because of some reviews that people had difficulty with assembly. Now my husband and I are very handy so we really did not have any issues. We did not have any missing parts but some board were missing the letter label. However, the instructions are very clear and each step tells exactly which boards/parts you need including size so we could measure the board and figure it out. This set is not difficult to assemble but you do have to have time and patience. There are alot of parts and I recommend 2 people. We only had one issue where holes/boards did not line up but we loosed the adjacent boards and just had to do a little tugging and twisting and everything lined up fine. Since most yards are not completely level, we made sure everything was as square as possible to prevent any misalignment issues. One thing I did to help speed the assembly was I organized the screws, bolts and washers by size smallest to largest and all of the board pieces so we weren't digging through the boxes. I would gather the pieces and parts for the next step while my husband was assembling the previous step. This set came in 3 boxes. Also, the instructions do recommend sealing the wood so we bought Thompson water sealer and sealed it. It made the wood colors more vibrant and will help the set last longer. We made sure the swingset was as level as possible because our yard has a slight slope and anchored it and we have no complaints about this swingset. It is a nice swingset for the money!

I would say this play set runs small. Not what I was expecting at all. When I received this product there were over 20 boards that were split even some load baring. It came in three packages and when I called about the first stuff for replacements the third package was still to arrive. We heard it took a long time to assemble ( it took two ppl about one full day loud half another) so we started where we could to help the process along. As we were assembling out of the last box we received ( in this box we received new boards that were not split, but the one load baring board was not stained), even more split boards! and when we assembled so many of this poor quality wood split in us! So I called yet again for replacement prices the lady got a bit snippy with me saying now we damand pictures because we have sent you over 20 boards to replace, I replied well if the quality of your product was better I would not be calling in the first place! She did not believe me that they would send a pice out not stained so I replied I guess the proof will be In the picture that I’m not lying! Not a good quality for your dollar!! I’m not sure on how stable it is because my weight baring board was split down the middle! I’ll post pictures as proof on here also!

There were screws missing, the ones provided bent or broke. We had to spend more money on it building it. The pre drilled holes were just dents in the wood. so we had to drill more. It’s not good wood, some pieces came split, others split as we used the screws. For the price we paid, I figured it would have been a pretty Decent quality-will it hold my 3 kids, yes- will it last a while, yes. But will it be something I might be able to watch my kids grow with it, I’m not sure due to all these issues.
