5.0 out of 5 stars Best option by far in its price category/type, April 25, 2005

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!

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.

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.
