Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Lakewood Wooden Playset Residential Wood Playset

Just wonderful!!

We love it! Pain to put together but that’s to be expected. My son (who is 2) adores this playplace! It’s great material and came together perfectly. No missing or broken pieces. I would def recommend this company and this exact playplace!

Swing set and large playhouse

I’m 60 and a woman and built 2 structures on my own

Nice, but flawed

It is a nice looking set, to be sure, but we had a few grievances with it. One of the boards was damaged in the box and it didn’t come with spare hardware. A bolt broke while installing and we had to scour our garage for a suitable replacement piece. The top coating on the darker wood has peeled off in some places. It creaks and wobbles when my 3 year old swings, despite the anchor rods being placed. The swings are so low they nearly touch the ground. Also took three adults a day and a half to a...

Quality

Horrible quality. The wood definitely isnt pressure treated as it states. Some pieces were already warped, and the predrilled holes were already splitting the wood. I had to have a carpenter come overand reinforce it bc it was shaking a creaking so much. I recieved the box mid april, but by the time i was able to put it together i couldnt return it or ask for a refund. At this point i have a huge lawn decoration bc my kids are too nervous to swing due to the poor design work and the wobbling of ...

I didn’t like the quality of wood , some parts were not even labeled , some parts didn’t even line up !

very clear instructions

Very clear instructions and easy to follow. I’m very impressed with the 3D image and how you can operate to see from other angles. Very clever

Poor quality wood that splits without pre drilling

Very poor quality. Took an entire weekend to put together because it come in 1,000 pieces. The stamps on the wood that labeled the pieces were faded and sometimes impossible to see or non existent. Holes didn’t line up. If you don’t pre drill all the holes, the wood splits because it is so dry and thin.

Order better screws and it’s actually smaller

Having to replace or tighten screws every time my 2 little girls use 1 7yr old and 1 4yr old

Great Swing Set

I am very happy with this swing set! My toddler is able to climb the ladder easily and the slide feels really safe, which is awesome. I can sit back and relax while he plays. I also appreciate that it included ground stakes to secure it. I purchased some separately but they aren't needed. It looks great in my yard and I'm very happy. *Toddler swing pictured was a separate purchase, it attached easily.

Great fun for the kids!

This was a great buy for my 2 young kids! Not too big and was fairly easy to put together!

Nice Set

I think this is a nice swingset for young kids. It is big enough for 3 swings but still pretty compact. The fort is cool.

Perfect Swingset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted a swing set for my girls, but our backyard is on the smaller side. I came across this one and went for it. It's perfect! Not too big, not too small and has already provided so much fun for both of my girls - age 3 and 1. It's also nice to have some quick outside fun right outside after dinner or in the morning or if they are home sick and we want to avoid playgrounds. I could not be happier with my purchase!

Great but the slide.....

Pretty good product. Not super cheap but also not as good as build from wood you bought on your own. The wood is thin and you will definitely want to seal it otherwise it wilm be frail in two years. The directions were ok until you get to the slide. The slide just magically appears finished on the directions without any directions where the supports go, why are there so many holes thay dont line up?! Its a pain and we finslly stopped for the day because that slide was a pain. So tomorrow is da...

Poor quality wood

I expected this to be much better quality, but the wood is very weak. I’m not sure it could support two kids swinging at the same time and certainly no adult could swing alone. Very disappointing. Also, assembly was way more than 5 hours the directions say. It took closer to 15 hours.

So far not happy with missing materials

Missing lots of screws. So we will have to go out to find some while our granddaughters are waiting for this to be put together.

Terrible quality, missing parts

Arrived with missing lumber part, cracks easily, took two people two full days to assemble. Not recommended.
