Backyard Discovery Beach Front Cedar Wood Swing Set with Wave Slide, Play Deck, Monkey Bars, Rock Wall Ladder, Shaded Picnic Area, Snack Bar, Belt Swings, Trapeze, Sandbox Area, Outdoor Playset

Pieces fit well. Good value. I had two damaged pieces. Called the Discovery Company on Monday and received replacements on Saturday. Great service. Took me about 30 hours to assemble. Instructions are fairly straight forward, but a little verbage would be helpful. Mostly pictures. Find a level spot. I spent several hours digging to get playset level.Discovery rep recommended sealing the set to make it last longer.

I normally don’t do product reviews but know how important they were to me when deciding to spend this much money on a swing set. So, here it goes:We purchased this swing set for about $550 plus tax. We think it is very good quality for that price but would not pay more for it. I saw that it is now about $1,000 and I personally think we would have been disappointed in the quality of the item for that price.My husband and grandpa, both very handy and bearing their own sets of power tools, put this together in about 9 hours. We downloaded the Bilt app, but found the written instructions to be more than sufficient. You need power tools and a few other tools to put this together, so keep that in mind when purchasing. When it is finished, it looks exactly like it is advertised. It is the absolute perfect size for our two year old son, and we foresee him getting about 4 more years of play out of it. It is advertised for up to age 10, but I personally think 6 or 7 years old is about the cut off for the size.The wood is cedar, which my husband says is a wood that should last over time pretty well. It is a little soft when putting the set together, and they split numerous pieces during assembly. Luckily, it didn’t affect the overall sturdiness of the set because most of the split pieces were more decorative than structural. When putting the set together, there was a time when my husband and I both had to be up in the fort area putting it together and putting the tarp on. The boards held our combined weight but you could hear that they were not happy about it, as they kept creaking and it made me worry a little that we were going to bust it before it was even finished. My son always wants me to climb up in the fort with him to play and I do, but the boards still creak quite a bit, when with just he and I.Another thing to keep in mind is that they recommend water sealing the set once a year. Not a big deal, just an added step in the upkeep of a wood swing set.Overall, my son absolutely ADORES this swing set. When I open the blinds in the morning and he sees the set, he immediately starts begging to go outside. We are extremely happy with our purchase for the price we paid for it. It is the perfect size for our 2 year old and will be used a lot over the next few years. Again, I would watch the price and try to get it for as cheaply as possible. It seems the price ranges greatly and we were able to purchase it for about $550.

We bought this for my daughter's second birthday after reading many reviews. We were limited on space, so this configuration worked best in the intended area. For the price, the quality is as expected. A couple pieces of wood split during construction, specifically on the rock wall climber which is disappointing. Also, the slide came with a scratch deep enough to cause a small but sharp bump on the sliding side, which needs to be filed down. The slide is not one piece, it comes as two rails and a thick plastic board that gets bent into the rails, which to me was a bit cheap feeling. Overall construction took around 7/8 hours for two adults, and was manageable. The app/video directions were great visually but we found they did not always match the book/manual directions which were more accurate. For example, the numbers on the hardware were different, or certain wood pieces had different pre drilled holes. Therefore we had to cross reference and make an educated guess a few timesOverall, our daughter thinks it's great and that's what really matters. Time will tell how the materials hold up through the seasons, and we will be weather sealing it yearly.

I was looking for a swing for my three grandbabies that was sturdy and fun. The swing came In two boxes. Delivered by appointment over the weekend. Whe you purchase this it will give you a delivery date. That is not he date it is going to arrive. The company will send you and email with a delivery date. That upset me a little because I told the kids their swing would be here when they came the next weekend. Other than that everything else has been great. It came so organized. Everything was labeled and no missing parts. It was fairly easy to put together because of that. It took about 5 hours for two men to put together. The kids love the slide and the litlle treehouse they call it. They like to have picknics in the bench. I like that it comes with anchors to keep it safe. The color is vibrant and has not faded in the sun. The kids have had countless hours of fin with it already.
