What Customers Are Saying
The playset is generally well-received, with many customers praising its sturdy construction, variety of activities, and their children's enjoyment.

Great Play Set
We put this together about 3 weeks ago and our 3 year old loves it. Great quality but it does take a little while to put together. It took 2 of us almost two full days

Perfect for Grandchildren!!
Would RecommendWe couldn’t be happier with this purchase and it’s been a big hit with our 2, 3 & 5 year old grandchildren. We added a chalkboard in the playhouse and added sand for a sandbox in the bottom opening beside the picnic table area…they love it! We separated and laid all the parts and hardware out before we started, so we wouldn’t feel overwhelmed. Put each big part together in our pool barn and carried it outside to assemble each part of the playground d together. Took us 4 days and well worth the s...

Great structure! Pain to build
This is rock solid sturdy playset that will last forever! It’s nice quality and my kids love it! But if building yourself, be ready for about 18 hour assembly….

Fun little project!
The packing of parts was absolutely silly, but the 3D Built App was a lifesaver. Nearly every step was spot on and had decently clear instructions.

Great product!
Wow! I love this set! The app they have to walk you through setup made it super easy to understand and make sure we got it together correctly. Everything was very clearly marked and, once sorted, easy to find. My son and my niece have been enjoying playing on it already the past few days as I finish up the last few steps.

Faded or unclear stamped parts
The only complaint i have is that the stamped part numbers arent clear on many parts which leads to alot of guessing
From BILT
Fantastic
if they just printed the numbers more clearly on the wood, it would be much easier. took 2.5 days with 1 other person and other parts by myself. definitely pull everything out of the box and organize with sticky notes prior to starting.
From BILT
very happy
Would Recommendtook about 40 hrs to sort, stain, and assemble. very nice set and went together almost flawless. anyone who says it is not easy to assemble or good quality is from human error. Follow step by step and no issues, no missing parts with mine. very happy and yes you do need to be handy.
Thank you for the review! We hope the little ones enjoy the new set!

Nice but hard to build it.
Missing parts, very hard to put it all the parts together, if you don’t have any knowledge about carpentry don’t buy it. My children’s enjoy that.

Great Playset
solid set, looks great, took about a week to assemble solo after work hours. only criticism is the organization of the parts. took me a while just to itemize and track every part so it was ready for me when I needed it.
From BILT
Lots of features and good assembly instructions
Would RecommendBought it a month ago and it looks awesome

Quality product
Would RecommendThe Grandkids love it! When our daughter and her family moved we offered to replace their existing playset that had rotting wood. After investigating our options we settled on Backyard Discovery as we were impressed with their quality products. We love seeing the grandkids delight when they play on it.

My kids are OBSESSED!
We are SO happy with this swing set! My kids can’t get off of it. This is perfect for my 6 and 4 year old. The only issue we had was during putting it together, some holes did not align perfectly but we made it work.
