Customer Reviews for Backyard Discovery Springboro All Cedar Swing Set

We like the swing set aesthetically but are disappointed with the sturdiness. Timbers seem weak to put up with the abuse a couple kids can put it through. We don’t see it lasting very long.

Overall I am pretty satisfied with it. I was missing some hardware though while putting it together. Two 5/16 luck nuts for swing assembly, 5 of the 5/16x2 bolts and around 55 of the 8x1 1/8 screws.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We ordered this for our two children (ages 7, 3). Pieces went together easy, all parts were there, and looks great in the yard. Kids love playing on it. I spent about 2 hours sorting the pieces using the directions. My husband and FIL took about 10 hours to build.

I was shocked to see how thin the boards were when it arrived. some holes weren't pre-drilled and instructions tell you to drill them to avoid wood splitting. we did that and it still split. It's been 6 months and the bench fell apart. Bolts have come loose all over. Also the slide was 3 pieces. The inside piece is just a very thin piece of plastic that won't hold a heavy child's weight, so don't expect much from it either. Install took nearly 2 days and was very frustrating.

I was very disappointed in the quality of this playset. We bought it for our granddaughter and had it shipped to her home. My husband and son put it together while we were visiting their new house. I was extremely disappointed I the quality of the wood. I don't think it will last her childhood.

My Neighbor Purchased this swing set and some how i got asked to help put it togeather. The Directions said it will take 2 guys 30 hours to put it together and thats about right. So if you dont have that amount of time dont buy it or you can pay $1200 and have the company build it for you. There are a lot of parts Everything is labeled we took all the parts with the same labels and made piles so we would know where everything is. You are going to need a good amount of room to work on this project the directions have you build things in sections so between the piles of parts and the things you built you need about 20x20 area to work in. There are tools with the kit but you will need a drill to make the job faster it will still take a long time!!! The only problem i found with the set is that some boards have pre drilled hole in them that have to face A certain way so pay attention to this or you will be taking it apart or drilling new holes. It is strong and can handle the kids running around on it i didn't find any real problems with the strength or design i would recommend it to anyone that is kinda handy and has help DONT TRY AND BUILD WITH OUT HELP you will fail and be very mad you spent the money

My 7 and 4 year old kids love this! It took 2 full days to put together with 2 adults. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. We have owned this for 1 year and it has held up through a ND winter. My kids are excited for warmer weather to enjoy it all over again!

Love the set! The assembly was easy with the manual , very easy to follow. The kids love being on it. Keeps them entertained for hours.
