Backyard Discovery Tucson Cedar Wooden Swing Set

Although assembly was interesting and fully expected after reading prior reviews before ordering, the swing set was worth every penny and then some. After reviewing local home improvement stores, there was nothing close to the value. I would strongly suggest picking home delivery instead of site to store. The trucking company contacts you via email and schedules a delivery date and timeframe. The box is about 8 feet long, 3 feet wide and 1 foot deep and weighs about 200 lbs. surprisingly enough they manage to fit everything into box including the slide that come in sections. Everything outlined here about taking 8 hours is 100% true. For the most part, I assembled the swings set by myself with the exception of needing help for about 15 minutes. For those of you with the power screwdrivers, do yourself a favor and put them away. Cedar is a soft wood. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about the product and will be purchasing another unit for my other grandson. Can’t buy one without buying for the other :-)

As a general contractor, I think my expectations are on the high side so I really expected to be disappointed. I had already read stories about missing parts, holes that didn't align, etc and was prepared for the worst. Quite the opposite. We were not nissing any parts and the instructions were pretty darned accurate. We had three adult men (I was the only contractor of the trio) and it took 6 hours with only a 15 minute lunch break. The wood components were all numbered/lettered and the hardware was all organized well. My only suggestion is that you really read and follow the instructions. Bottom Line is I was not disappointed and would reccommend this to a friend.

This was a perfect choice for our 6 year old and 2 year old! It looks nice, it's sturdy and my girls have absolutely enjoyed it! I thought the rock wall and slide might be too big for my youngest right now, but she can't stay off of it. I definitely recommend reading through reviews and taking into consideration what worked best to organize for assembly. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that we had several setbacks with the delivery time most of which was due to the carrier and not specifically Walmart. Also, we got the Dome at Walmart too, months ago and it's a great addition!!

I was super excited to get this for my kids. I never saw one in person before but thought for the price its was worth getting one instead of building myself. Here are a few of my likes and dislikes: Likes: Good hardware : Bolts, nuts, screws were good quality. Chains and other metal hardware was of good quality App: there was an app to help assist putting it together Dislikes: Wood: the wood felt soft, like it was a pine wood or something extremely light. When i stepped on where you mounted the slide it creeked and felt like it could possibly break, it did hold my weight but i felt uneasy (i weigh 235lbs). I did feel it would be safe for both of my kids so that was a plus! App: Even though there was an app to put it together i felt that some steps were out of place and could have been put some place else. Putting together: this took me a full 8 hours with the help of another person. Make sure you have time and another person when putting together. Next time i think i may build one from scratch. It will take me about the same amount of time and be of better wood quality. Overall for the price this isn't bad for Kids only.

My Dad is a contractor that has been building houses for over 30 years and this was a nightmare for us to put together. These are some of the worst instructions we've ever had to follow, there were several KEY pieces missing, and this is not quality materials at all. Please don't make the same mistake we did.

I ordered this set twice and both times it arrived in unacceptable condition and was refused. The first time the box was busted open, filthy, and had parts protruding from the box. It was shrink wrapped to the pallet to hold it together. The next time it arrived as a bunch of parts wrapped in plastic with no box at all. If Walmart is selling seconds or open box returns, they should specify that.

The picture and function look good until you get it home. I am relatively handy, but this was annoying for a "kit". It was missing some screes, had way to many of others. The instructions said to call if it was missing parts, but it took me 2 days to assemble and I'm not going to take time off from work when the parts arrived. Required a few drills I didn't have, so I had to purchase them. Basically it was more work than if I had built it from scratch, and not as sturdy. When they say it has to be level, THEY MEAN LEVEL! If it's off by 1 degree it creaks and makes terrifying noises. Plan to waste a whole weeekend and plan an extra $100 for further supplies.

Purchased April of 2019. Two weeks ago the wood supporting the swings (triangle shape) fell apart. The kids complained about splinters a couple of months ago in the clubhouse. My kids are 5 and 6. It was built and placed in a dry area. It only got wet when it rained I live in California.

So I ordered this item twice with ship to store. The first item arrived on the date they said it would, but the item had shipping damage and had to reorder. I ordered it again and it was supposed to arrive by August 17 and I am still waiting on it to arrive

Absolutely horrible. Certain wood pieces were splintered straight out of box, wood mildewed after one rain, important bolt pieces missing (had to buy replacement bolts), has very "rickety" feel to it even after tightening everything as tight as possible and stacking it down, very small for the price. For close to $500, it's definitely not worth it. Have had it for most of the year now and would give it 0 stars if possible. Would not purchase again or ever recommend this playset.
