Would Not RecommendI’ve remodeled rooms, shingled my own house, etc. and this thing was a nightmare to assemble. The parts are not organized in any way. The wood is very cheap and breaks shortly after use if not during assembly.
Overall good for the price
Would RecommendBought this set for my 18 month old daughter. Overall, I think this set will be great for her for years to come. As seen in other reviews, expect some wood pieces to be damaged upon delivery. I had a couple damaged which is part of the ladder. I plan on asking for new parts as the wood is split in areas. Assembly is a pain but can be done with 2-3 people. Took 11-12 hours for 2 people to assemble. Lots of different hardware and wood pieces, so be patient. This set is a good size and is perfect f...

Very Nice Swingset!
This is a really nice product. It's one of the smaller ones, but it's really good quality. The Bilt 3D instructions were extremely helpful. All the parts were present and there are even a few extras. The pretapped holes were all very accurate. I'm highly impressed with this product and my 3 year old loves it.

Great buy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After about 7 hours of putting the set together with the wonderful help of BILT, our great grandkids love and use it. Very sturdy when anchored

Surprisingly good swing set!
Would RecommendBought this for my grandsons and while it seemed to take a long time to put it together, all the pieces went together as they should have and the alignment of everything was very good! The swing set is sturdy and will last for years f properly treated. You must water seal the finished product every year, so be prepared for that, it is cedar but at least here in Texas the sun will take a toll if it is not treated properly. Other than that though, it is a very good value and well constructed!

Beautiful Set!
Would RecommendThis is a beautiful set that allows the child to swing, play pretend in the house, have a picnic, and go down the slide. My daughter is 2yrs-old and starting to play on the monkey bars. This would allow her to meet that challenge of swinging on the bars.
