Backyard Discovery Woodridge Elite Cedar Wood Swing Set with Wave Slide, Clubhouse, Crawl Tunnel, Crow's Nest, Belt Swings, Trapeze, Rock Wall Ladder, Sandbox, Wrap-Around Porch, Deck, Outdoor Playset

I looked for an incredibly long time to find a great play house with all the bells and whistles for my son. Ultimately I decided on this one and I can’t even begin to tell you how thrilled I am. It’s beautiful, extremely sturdy and safe. The main complaint on this is the overwhelming time it takes to actually build it… I would definitely spend a few extra bucks to have someone assemble it for you, if your interested in saving time and your sanity. I took my husband and my son‘s godfather, both very handy and strong men, approximately three full eight-hour days to complete it. The coolest part by far is how absolutely amazing the customer services. The unbelievably huge boxes arrived a few days before we were set to start building it and we quickly noticed that there was a very large missing board. Basically, we couldn’t continue to build it without this piece. My husband made one quick called customer service and explain to her that this was for my son‘s birthday which is coming up soon and we’re really hoping to get it built by then. The absolutely lovely woman he spoke with did us an incredibly huge solid and overnighted the board so that we could resume work the following day. She definitely didn’t have to do that and it was really sweet and kind for her to be so considerate… We definitely have been able to build it before my son’s birthday and he is absolutely in love! I’m in love too, if I do say so myself… It’s the place/treehouse that every little kid dreams of. Next step is putting on some super cute little solar porch lights and getting a cool plaque as well as some furniture :) 5/5 all around!

Hard to believe you can find a full playset on Amazon. While my experience is probably closer to 4 stars, I don’t think this massive of an undertaking could ever be perfect. Therefore I’m giving it 5 stars because it did exceed expectations. It arrived in four GIANT boxes and the swing separately. I spent about 90 minutes inventorying everything. Nothing was missing. A few pieces had mild cracks but I didn’t feel like waiting to build it and getting them replaced. The lumber seems to be high quality but light. At first I was nervous it would be flimsy but the final product is very sturdy. It held me, my wife, and my two year old son on the second level without budging. My wife painted everything but the roof and floor. I assembled 99% of it on my own. I know my way around tools but I’m no expert. It took about 3 days total. It’s a lot of pieces and a lot of steps but the manual was surprisingly clear. I was very happy with the instructions. I only had to redo a few steps that I did wrong. Pay careful attention to the orientation of complex pieces. The hardware is surprisingly good as well. I can’t speak to the quality of the metal itself but the whole thing feels quadruple reenforced at every joint. I was nervous it would feel too small but it feels good overall. Adults fit in the swings. I’m 6’0”. The tunnel is very tight for me but I can sit on the second level comfortably with my son. My son absolutely loves it. It’s impossible to pry him off. Overall I’m very satisfied and just wish it wasn’t 95deg on the days I built it.

Overall, this playground has been a great addition to our backyard! My kids absolutely love it and spend hours playing outside. The design and features are fantastic, and the idea behind the playhouse is really well thought out. Plus, the customer service has been amazing—responsive and helpful anytime we’ve needed assistance. That said, I do wish the build was a bit sturdier—especially the swing set portion. When bigger kids use the swings, the whole side rocks more than I’m comfortable with, and it’s only secured to the playhouse by one piece of wood. During our Easter gathering, we actually had to remove the swings to avoid any risk of injury. We also reinforced a few areas of the playhouse that didn’t feel as solid as we’d hoped. Despite those concerns, my kids truly love playing on it, and it’s brought a lot of joy to our family. Just be prepared to make a few safety tweaks if older or heavier kids will be using it.

Updated Review: The manufacturer's customer service was AMAZING! They wasted no time sending the replacement parts and took care of us fast. I highly recommend this manufacturer and products. First Review: Amazon requires the entire swing set be returned for the attached issues. I reached out directly to the customer service of the manufacturer and I'm waiting for a reply. The customer service person from the phone said they will send replacement parts with picture proof of issues. Multiple prices cracked/split, multiple unsafe wood knot holes my child could get hurt on, "mold" and missing paint on a few pieces and the slide has two areas of damage my child could get hurt on. To be honest if the damaged pieces are replaced, I would recommend this swing set, as it is a good price for what it is however, a picture is worth a thousand words. I will update my review if the manufacturer replaces parts like the customer service person said they would with the pictures I sent. The instructions were easy to read but, building the outside balcony before the inside floor made it difficult to build the inside floor.
