 Best option by far in its price category/type Apr 25, 2005
By Q
If you're looking at plastic sets in this price range, stop looking: this is the best there is.
Set up wasn't too bad, took 2 of us maybe a couple hours (tops). As another reviewer said, the boxes are huge - couldn't close the tailgate in our SUV, but they did fit (somewhat angled) in our minivan.
The play options are perfect for our 2 year old. The slide isn't too short (as many of the Little Tikes options were), it accomodates a toddler bucket swing (though it does not come with one), and saves us from buying a seperate playhouse as well.
The plastic is very sturdy (much wider/thicker than the competition's) and the 'naturally playful' color option means it doesn't 'scream' from the backyard. It blends quite nicely.
We expect to get several more years out of this one, and then to recover some of our cost by reselling it at a local consignment sale. VERY worth our outlay!
UPDATE 11/29/2010: More than 5 years later, and it's still going strong! My kids mostly use it for the swings now, and they are beginning to get a bit 'small' for them (don't swing high enough, etc) - but they are 4.5yo and almost 8yo now. I would never have guessed that it would last us this long. It has faded a bit from the sun, but evenly (not patchy) and the colors are still pleasing overall. We definitely feel like we've gotten our money's worth out of it!

Just bought it...Set up was so simple!!! Mar 14, 2005
By A. Shafer

We just got this swingset for our 18 month old son. It was really easy to put together. Only took us about 15 minutes for the climber part. The slide is a nice size for all ages. Our some wasn't too small for it and I think he will like it for a long time. Can't say too much more about it since we just got it, but so far we have been really impressed.
FYI. The cartons are huge. We took both of our cars (an SUV and a stationwagon) and they wouldn't fit in either car. We had to borrow a neighbors truck to haul it.

 disappointed too small May 07, 2005
By R. Seaman
"yrbookgeek"
WE recently bought this for our 2 yr old son as a bday present.I thought it was the perfect combo between a playhouse and swingset. First off the box it comes in is huge so it had to be taken out of the box to fit into my car (large SUV). When we got it home... it was a little complicated to put together. We got it together finally only to find out our son was too tall to fit in the house under the platform. He is only 2 and not incredibly tall for his age. Also he barely fit down the slide.. it is very narrow. We ended up having to take it apart and return it. I don't know how a 3 yr old would ever fit in the playhouse section.

I think it's great - Here's how to get the slide in when assembling May 23, 2006
By Y. R. Wu
"The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare - Juma Ikangaa"
Most of what I would say has been covered already - I rate it 5 out of 5 stars for comparable toys. Very sturdy construction and looks good in earth tones rather than kiddie colors.
One warning: Nooks and crannies for wasps to hide in. This would be an issue for any play structure though.
The one trick is getting the slide in when assembling. I have had to put it together a few times (relocating it from basement to backyard, back to basement)
The trick is to NOT have the three burgundy pieces in - you only have the two sides and the deck - you then can squeeze the bottoms of the two big pieces together. If you push so that the two side pieces are parallel, the slide pretty much drops into place. When you release the bottoms, the tops close together and trap the slide.
Another way is to tilt the tower away from the slide - this allows the slide to slip in - you need to tilt it at least 30 degrees from vertical.
If you've found this review helpful, please let me know!

Good design and good product May 28, 2005
By D. Gerstenecker
I like the Naturally Playful colors. I appreciate the colors blending in with my house and yard and not standing out like a clown house.
This product is very well designed for pieces fitting together - the slide being the one tricky part. I highly recommend laying the structure on its side or its back (for the slide) at various parts of the building process. It took me 1.5 hours in the dark with my mother-in-law. I recommend using a ratchet instead of the accompanying plastic tool. And a note to not put the very top piece on until you have attached the swing extension.
I think the cost is a bit high, but it is within the price range of other similar products.
This product is targeted for the younger end of its advertised spectrum. My 22 month old just adores it! The "secret playhouse" should be considered a secret hide-out as opposed to a house, but crawling in and out of it is part of the fun for my daughter.
