Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Montpelier Playset Residential Wood Playset

nice playset

took me 3 days to assemble, 1 pice of wood came with the holes not pre drill at the right spot so I had to do some adjustments, wood is good quality,

Assembly of Montpelier swing set

Took me 12 hours to assemble over 3 days. Instructions were excellent. To save time searching for pieces I would strongly advise taking time when unpacking to put wooden pieces in their alphabetic piles facing one way. Similarly with the nuts and bolts place in consecutive numerical order. This will reduce your frustration and time taken during the build I promise.

Not Durable

We have had this swing set for only a year. It is flimsy, it is breaking down, and I’m concerned my kids will get hurt if it breaks on them with the swings. The swing is also too close to the playhouse. To add, my kids are little, 6 and 1. Not big kids. If I had known how thin these boards were I would have never purchased. I spent way too much on this thing for it to be so weak.

Montpelier Set

Installed a month ago. The quality is good! However, it is much smaller than expected. Building wasn’t difficult, unfortunately their were pieces we had to alter due to the holes being misaligned.

Love Backyard Discovery

Our 1st play set for the grand babies is a Backyard Discovery, but they have outgrown it. SO we found the Montpelier Swing Set and will put in together first thing in the spring. (We have to wait till winter is over). We can't wait, neither can the grand kids. They helped pick out this one, and both are very excited. We purchased another Backyard discovery swing set because the 1st one has been wonderful. Putting it together went well because the directions were easy to follow. We did hav...

Amazing Buy!

I bought this swing set before Christmas, it arrived super fast! Setup was pretty simple and straightforward. Really sturdy material, my kids love it so much!

Great purchase!

Easy to put together, a lot to it, but easy to assemble. My daughter loves it.

Fun swing set has it all!

We purchased this set last month after a lot of research and our daughter LOVES it! We were able to assemble in about 10 hours with breaks (4 adults). Instructions were clear, materials labeled and they also provided extra bolts, nuts and screws. This swing set has everything we were looking for: a slide, swings, club house, and monkey bars. The way it's laid out, it does not take up too much space in our yard, and it looks really nice. Great purchase, and we'd give it a 10/10!

Eh

Wouldn't recommend if you have an irrigation system. Get a plastic one. Mine is already warping. It also comes pre drilled and the hole don't all line up. Would not buy again.

Nice for the Price

For the price I would have thought more things would have been put together, or more wholes would have been predrilled. It was a rather easy set up but very time consuming. I suggest laying out all pieces in order and groups before you start. I have a lot of extra pieces, and I had a lot of missing bolts. I was able to improvise with the extra stuff. Some of the wholes that were already drilled didn’t even line up with the other would to bolt together. Defiantly easier with more than one pe...

Great product and assembly!

This swing-set is perfect for our two grandchildren. The men that assembled it did a great job and we very nice.

Perfect for my girl!

After the hurricane wiped out our other swing set, we decided on this one for our soon to be 6 year old! She loves it! Little house with a door, swings, side, monkey bars, picnic table… we love it!

Good for little kids

This swing set is perfect for ages 10 and under!!

Great Swing Set for the Kids

Not difficult at all to build with a second person. All parts were included and labeled. The kids are enjoying it and it looks pretty good.

The Montpelier has everything we wanted

I bought this for my grandchildren to assemble at there house. I assembled it all by myself with no help. It took me a lot longer than expected due to location and only one person. A) I thought instructions needed more notes and suggestions. B) Sub- assemblies should have been water sealed first not after. C) wall assembly was too tight and did not fit, had to eliminate one board and space remaining. D) Bay window assembly is weak, these boards should have been one piece plywood, small screws fa...

Great Swing Set

Great design, very cute! A million pieces to assemble, but had clear directions. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, a few wood pieces came warped. We did not leave the boxes in the sun and assembled within a few days of getting it. Our daughters and their friends love it! It feels pretty sturdy, except for the slide. I could see us needing to replace in a year.

Good swingset

I’m not going to lie, this was a HUGE project. It took us three people over a span of 21 hours to put together. We had to pre-drill many holes. One must be very careful and ensure the orientation of the pieces are correct. We used alternate swings for my son. Once you insert and attach the ground steaks, it’s extremely structurally sturdy. It will not budge. Despite all those hours spent building, it was worth it. We have a 4 year old son with Autism. Seeing his smile, and watching him run towa...
