KidKraft Appleton Wooden Swing Set, (Amazon Exclusive)

This in my opinion was a steal for the price. Bought it for our 1.5 year old and she loves it, replaced a swing with a baby swing and it's ready to go. Installation took me 3 hrs alone but I've assemble similar playset before. I do suggest pre drilling your holes to prevent cracking other than that its a great product, the materials are good quality wood is already prestained I may add a sealer to prolong the life of the wood.

For the price this set is PERFECT. My daughter is 2.5 and my son is 11mo. I bought a baby seat for him but the size is just great for a first set. Took my husband about 5.5 hours to set up but was pretty straight forward. We’re really happy.

This thing is HEAVY and sturdy. Has been used a lot for over a year and it still looks brand new. I did buy some super heavy duty anchors separately, just for some extra security with 4 year olds.

I was very satisfied with this product. The instructions are real easy to follow. All the items are numbered which makes it easy and fast to setup. It took me around 10 hours to do it. I did it solo and took a bunch of breaks. Easily can be done in a few hours with two people. Lessons learned to make it a easy setup. Line all the wood with the numbers in the same direction and in order. Same with the screws and bolts. Make sure you have 2 drills, and a couple of clamps. I also weather proof all the boards touching the ground. Hope this helps.

We are contractors and remodel homes for a living, so building in general isnt a big deal for us....but....You couldnt make a more poor build design if you tried. Lots of parts that may or may not be labled and labeled without any logic or reason like a toddler was rambling numbers and they stamped them to a part. 25+ diffent bags of hardware that may or may not be used including 8 different sizes screws, 7 or 8 different sizes bolts, washers, t-nuts, nuts, etc that literally took up the entire tail gate of our truck when laid out....they too are labeled like a toddler rambling numers. Instructions were beyond horrible.You will need a full bag of tool: socket ratchet set, adjustable wrench x2, hammer, drill (square bit included but did strip the screw heads so we had to improvise), 1/8 drill bit for lag screws, a square, measuring tape, level, 2 step ladders. We had 2 people, again very experienced in construction, took us about 5 hours to complete.Final product: its small, not for adult use at all, wood is flimsy, most is made with 1x4s, and lots of cracking while it was built, i dont expect the tarp roof to hold up to much wind or snow and im shocked that one of the walls on the platform is just a tarp...with screws in it...ment to stop a child from falling 5 ft...yeah im gunna go to lowes and add 2 more boards to reinforce that "tarp wall"...Anyway, likely over priced for the cheap, way overly complicated design. We laugh as we were building it that it would have been easier to make one from scratch...but not for the price i guess. Itll do for a few years but i dont expect much from it.

My kids love this and it was easy to put together took us about 5 hours to put it all together and it gives you the tools needed except for a drill but all the attachments are there.

Purchased for grand daughter and so disappointed with top of the slide being a tarp ” chalkboard “ definitely does not feel safe. To flimsy, why not make it a real board? Missing hardware, had to purchase more to complete setup. If it wasn’t so much work to take it down I would return!

This is a very good product. It took me approximately seven hours to complete by myself, but I truly took my time. If a second person was with me, it really would’ve cut down on the time. Keep in mind that this is probably the biggest item you have to assemble.I was really impressed with how each part and each screw was labeled. I organized them ahead of time and follow the instructions from beginning to end. The instructions are really good and if something isn’t right, it’s because you missed a step or did not align an item correctly. I changed the swings since my grand children are smaller but save the others for when they get older. This is a great swing set for the price. .
