Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Montpelier Playset Residential Wood Playset

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...

Solidly built and my Granddaughters love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sent this beautiful swing play set for Easter 2023 to my 3 little granddaughters - my Son and Daughter-in-Law had moved them to a new home. The entire family is ecstatic 🥰

Best PlaySet Ever

I can not rave enough about this playset. We picked it because it had all the features we were looking for like monkey bars, a slide, 2 swings, and a wooden house on top instead of the other kind made out of plastic/tarp material. It was a little terrifying when we got all the pieces out to start building it, but once we started it moved along very quickly. My husband and his father put it together and it only took one afternoon but I will point out my husband is and engineer and my father in...

U can modify monkey bars on side of house

Slide came in with one side cracked and wasn’t able to use but waiting on other one from manufacture besides that kids are loving it

Terrible quality of wood.

I will NEVER buy from this company again. The wood is terrible quality. We have had this swingset for a year and a half and its so wobbly. My husband is a contractor, he is very skilled at building things, so that was not the issue. The whole structure rocks back and forth when my 50lb 3 year old swings. Do NOT buy!!

Kids love it !

We’ve had this set for a little under a month and the kids love it! We were looking for something that would grow with them and keep them occupied for years to come. We do have a daring two year old so this set maybe a little big for that age group but it’s perfect for our 6 year old, I would say it’s great for ages 4+. We used purchased the assembly service to have this set assembled and we would also recommend this as well! Go Configure came out and had it put together within several hours. Th...

Love the price and quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got in 3 months ago. I used the recommended contractors to build it. My kids enjoyed it every day.

Great value!

Just assembled and it was an easy installation. I know my grandkids will like the slide and climbing wall. Also a great quality gif the value.

Age range is misleading

If you have older kids, this is not the swing set for you. We opted for this swing set because it had the best features for the price, and we have kids ranging from 10 to 2 years old. The age range suggested is 3-10 years. I’d say it’s more like 3 to 6, maybe 7 if you have smaller kids. My 8 year old can reach the ground while using the monkey bars, and the wood beams look like they are sinking when he uses them. They are not heavy weight kids, but muscular from doing sports. Even though we ...

Great first impression!

We bought this play set during the President’s Day sale and very pleased with the purchase. We were waiting to complete some yard work before building the set. This review is more focused on ease and flexibility of shipping and quality of the item received. The delivery company was super easy to work with and allowed us to postpone final delivery since it conflicted with our schedule. When the items were delivered, the delivery people were great and put the boxes in our garage. They were careful...

Great quality and the kids love it

Fantastic playset for the price. build quality is great. The manual is quite detailed,the app was actually way better than i was expecting although the manual is what we used. We had one missing eye bolt for the swing and a bend board that were replaced with no questions asked. Fantastic service goes a long way these days. We bought a wood chipper since we have alot of trees to remove anyway. Wood border will be installed next weekend, today is a day of rest and admiring the clouds :)

Adorable and fun !

This is our second swing set from backyard discovery and we love it ! Our girls are 4,5and 7 so I needed something for each age group :) the monkey bars will grow with them and they spend so much time enjoying the slide and swing set. They have picnics and even play house . A wonderful purchase that will keep them busy for each age !

Great size playground

We purchase this about a year ago and it’s still doing amazing. My husband has played with my two year on it and he’s about 210lbs. My son gets excited every morning when we say outside time because of this playground.

Great playset!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took me longer to put together then expected but instructions were very detailed and was able to get it together for my daughter. Very happy!!

Fun playground, big project

layground is super fun. It was a project putting it together, but that was somewhat fun too. We are very intermediate builders but managed to do it without too many problems. Our ship time was very long (it took over a month from when we ordered to when it arrived) but that is the nature of things right now. The playground itself is sturdy, fun and great. I have 4 kids ages 3-11. The 11 year old is a little big but can still play on it. A few elements are very challenging for the 3 year old, b...

Kids love it!

We have 3 kids ages 6, 4, and 2. All 3 love their new playset. We put play sand in the sandbox. The 4 yo is learning the monkey bars and the 2 yo has learned how to glide.

Very nice look

We set up the playset about a month ago and it looks good. The installation isn't bad IF you pay attention to the diagrams and the hole locations. We've had some really hard winds and it stood up well.
