What Customers Are Saying
The product has mixed reviews. Many customers are satisfied, especially for younger children, but there are significant concerns about the quality and durability of the wood. Several reviewers noted the wood is cheap, thin, and prone to splitting, cracking, and warping, raising questions about the set's long-term stability and safety. The assembly process also seems challenging, with some reporting missing or damaged parts and unclear instructions, though others found it manageable. Overall, the product may be a decent value, but customers should be aware of potential quality issues and be prepared to invest additional time and effort to ensure a safe and stable installation, especially for older or heavier children.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Simple swingset for small children
Would RecommendIt was a pretty straightforward set of instructions (with a few unclear bits here and there) but luckily with all the wood and hardware clearly labeled the mistakes were minimal. The only issue we had was on some of the smaller wood pieces the instructions as is regarding using a wood screw would lead to some splitting, so after we split a few pieces we started doing pilot holes for similar cases. The tarp addition was rather difficult as well, but after we laid the set on its side it was simple...

Decent for the price
Would RecommendThe price was right but quality of wood makes me wonder how long it’ll last. Made it almost all they way through the build before splitting the boards holding the ladder to the slide tower. Instructions were easy enough to follow. Took me 7 hours to put together

Great advise to be organized as it does make the assembly flow easier.
Follow directions and should go well!
Would RecommendVery good directions, received earlier than expected. Some pieces of wood could be better as possible splinter’s. All in all seems to be very nice and stable.

Athletic Swingers my fanny!!!!
This product is great for little kids. However when my tiny, 8 year old girl swings it starts rocking and making weird sounds!

Some missing instructions but overall great!
Would RecommendGreat swingset for the price! There were a few directions that needed to be clearer to help make sure certain pieces of word were in the right direction. It’s very very hard to get the bolts back out when you make a mistake. Now that it’s put together everything works as it should and the kids loves it! The rope on the monkey bar is too long however even with the chain on the shortest link.

The play set it great other than how long it took to build and some of the wood split when trying to drill screws in.

It looks more robust in the photos.
I was expecting it to be a little bit more of a sturdy frame.

Beautiful set for my daughter!
Would RecommendWe purchased this set as a Christmas gift for our daughter she's almost 3 years old. I think it's perfect for her age and size. Like previous reviews it is not for people that are more than 100lbs. It will only be my daughter and a friend that will play on this set. I had someone to assemble it and it took (on and off) 2 days to complete. Overall I thought it was a larger set for her to grow into but it's perfect for her size now.

Belmont Swingset
Overall a nice swingset. The wood is a little delicate, the small pieces are almost guaranteed to split so be careful. Also, a few holes were not pre-drilled and 2 supports came mislabeled, which made things a little difficult towards the end.
From BILT
Great setup.
Would RecommendSo far this seems like great quality. All the pieces were clearly labeled, directions were very clear.

Great playset
Would RecommendI bought the Belmont playset for my granddaughter a year ago and it was the best thing we could have done. She is 4 years old and she loves having her own "park" at our house.
