Backyard Discovery Beach Front Cedar Wood Swing Set with Wave Slide, Play Deck, Monkey Bars, Rock Wall Ladder, Shaded Picnic Area, Snack Bar, Belt Swings, Trapeze, Sandbox Area, Outdoor Playset

Pieces fit well. Good value. I had two damaged pieces. Called the Discovery Company on Monday and received replacements on Saturday. Great service. Took me about 30 hours to assemble. Instructions are fairly straight forward, but a little verbage would be helpful. Mostly pictures. Find a level spot. I spent several hours digging to get playset level.Discovery rep recommended sealing the set to make it last longer.

Bought this for my 4 year old. Very sturdy. Big enough for me to play with her. Absolutely love it!

We bought this for my daughter's second birthday after reading many reviews. We were limited on space, so this configuration worked best in the intended area. For the price, the quality is as expected. A couple pieces of wood split during construction, specifically on the rock wall climber which is disappointing. Also, the slide came with a scratch deep enough to cause a small but sharp bump on the sliding side, which needs to be filed down. The slide is not one piece, it comes as two rails and a thick plastic board that gets bent into the rails, which to me was a bit cheap feeling. Overall construction took around 7/8 hours for two adults, and was manageable. The app/video directions were great visually but we found they did not always match the book/manual directions which were more accurate. For example, the numbers on the hardware were different, or certain wood pieces had different pre drilled holes. Therefore we had to cross reference and make an educated guess a few timesOverall, our daughter thinks it's great and that's what really matters. Time will tell how the materials hold up through the seasons, and we will be weather sealing it yearly.

Good, clear instructions and sturdy wood! Afro ed quickly-early! Kiddo loves it!

I never leave reviews; good or bad. But the experience of purchasing this item can’t go without comment. We purchased this in late August for our son’s birthday which was in mid October. Plenty of time to receive it, put it together, and let him enjoy before cold weather hit the Midwest. We were surprised at how quickly it arrived; less than a week. However it has been a disaster since that point. We received three large boxes. However we quickly realized we were missing parts. One of the parts was missing for the very first step to put it together actually. After doing some inventory, we realized we were missing over 100+ parts, wood and hardware. We contacted customer service and they advised they would be sending the missing parts. I provided a detailed list, including all missing parts, part numbers, and quantity missing according to instructions. They were quick to ship the parts. However, again, we were STILL missing parts, 20+ this time. We contacted customer service again, not as nicely this time. They apologized and offered a $200 gift card. I was still frustrated, but appreciated the goodwill to make things right. Now we finally had all the parts to put this monstrosity together. Noticed yet more problems. The wood is of poor quality. Half the pieces are warped. Some of the pieces split when drilling them together. Some of the wood isn’t even the same color.Don’t make the same mistake we did. DO NOT purchase this. I may just be one unlucky bloke. But I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy, well maybe them. We now have the equivalent of $800 worth of firewood.

We put this together today and of course our 6 year old immediately began to play, which led to some discoveries. The piece of wood where the beam for the swings is bolted is inadequate and sure to break if you have a child who LOVES to play on the swings. I sincerely would not feel comfortable with 2 children swing on it at the same time. We will be replacing it with a more solid pressure treated 2x6. One design flaw (or at least in my mind) is that the monkey bars do not allow the child access to the fort. The monkey bars are also quite unsteady in their current state. They attach to a fairly flimsy board that is almost a 2 x 3. We will be replacing that board with a better 2x4. To make the monkey bars more sturdy we need to add 2x4s at the very base of the fort and at the top, then run two 2x4x8s (cut to fit of course) as solid uprights to bolt the monkey bars to.I think if you have only one 3 or 4 year old that will be play on this, it will be fine as it comes. However, if your kid(s) are active, you expect this to last more than one year, and if you are relatively handy, do yourself the favor and spend the $30 to $50 to replace those components with some better lumber.ALSO, build the roof structure separately on the ground THEN lift it with 2 to 3 people and bolt it in place. It is so much easier to do it this way.A weird fluke we discovered is that the French instructions do not include the awning over the little bench.I highly recommend having 3 people to put this together. 2 people to put it together and 1 person to sort out parts/hardware and get the next step prepped in advance. That made it go a lot faster.
