5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect set for our almost 5 year old!

I am giving a completely honest review of this item from ordering, delivery, setup and functionality.I searched for months trying to find a set that had everything we wanted for our 4 (almost 5 yo) daughter. This one seemed to fill all the boxes with some extras. A rock climbing wall, rope wall, slide, fort, swings, web swing and even a place you could make a sandbox. The delivery was delayed several times which almost caused us to cancel the order but I am so glad we didn’t! Bolo worked with us very closely through each delay and were very apologetic. Because of the size of the item, it doesn’t come directly from Bolo. They have to use a transport company so the delay was not Bolos fault.It comes in 3 large boxes and 1 slide. The packaging was done very well and secure. It only took about 10 minutes to deliver and it was in the pouring rain.There are SO many pieces but they are labeled very well and each box is numbered 1-3. I highly recommend taking out each item and put them in alphabetical and numerical order (that will make sense when you open the box) also do this with your hardware otherwise you will easily add 2 hours to your setup trying to find parts.Follow the instructions and do NOT skip ahead or you will miss things and have to take things apart. It will slowly start to come together just trust the process.There were 4 of us putting this together and the first half you definitely need at least 2 people. Having someone to run and grab parts and hardware while another person is going over the instructions and starting to put each step together.We started this at 11am and stopped at 8:30pm and still didn’t finish. The next morning we finished the swings, hanging bar, rope wall and web swing which my husband and I were able to tag team and get done in about an hour. All together it took us about 10.5 hours to put together with very few 5 minute breaks in between. The other reviews aren’t lying when they say it takes so long to put together because of all the parts.It did come with some extra hardware which is nice just in case you lose a piece. It also came with the bit you will need for most parts.We wanted a set that could be used for several years and this one definitely can. My daughter turns 5 next month and will get to use this for many years to come.I am 5’4 and you can see in the video that this set is very much so taller than me. Saying that to give reference on size.The color is very beautiful and the wood quality was very good as well.So many braces and brackets to keep the set safe for kids. My daughter is having so much fun she doesn’t want to stop playing. Definitely fun for kids and Kid approved.The only part of this set I would say could be dangerous for kids is the rope wall. Some kids might not have issues with it but my little hasn’t figured out how to use it on her own yet.If you don’t mind taking the time to put a set together I would definitely recommend this one. We saved so much money doing it ourselves and this was by far the best bang for our buck when it came to all the options in the set.Don’t mind my talking in the video but I hope it helps give some ideas of what this Playset has to offer in activities and size.

5.0 out of 5 stars overall impressed

like many have said, plan this for an ALL weekend build. It took my wife and i 16 hours and I'm a pretty handy person. It took us probably 2 hours to go through the directions and organize each part, nut and bolt by the step. Highly recommend doing that, because it allowed us to divide and conquer with the kids, i could grab a bag, wood and go work on parts by myself and she could feed the kids. I was impressed it came with a bunch of anchors and the directions were actually pretty good! few spots could have been more clear but overall very impressed with it overall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserved 5-Stars, High Quality, Easy Assembly

Very impressed with this overall. The wood is real, the hardware is high-quality zinc-coated or black oxided. It's a bit overwhelming at first, so it's best to take everything out of the 3 large boxes it is delivered in and sort alphanumerically. The hardware is best placed on a table. Everything is nicely labeled.It took me ~18 hours by myself to put it all together. It's doable with one-person, you'll just need a second hand here and there to hold things up while you fasten them together.They give you extra hardware in case you lose anything. The size overall is pretty impressive and it can easily hold close to 300lbs at a time in my experience.It's got tons of things to do for smaller kids in a relatively compact area, so plenty of entertainment value.It has anchors to attach it into the ground which is a nice touch.You'll definitely want some kind of drill and/or impact driver.The instructions are very well done, some of the most detailed and easiest to follow I've seen. You can skip around a bit which is what I ended up doing.Genuinely, this deserves 5 stars. It's totally worth the price. Much better than I imagined it to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, good size!

Very sturdy! Some hiccups with set up, but organizing all the pieces helped tremendously! Took 5 of us about 8 hours. Our 2.5 year old LOVES playing on it, especially the sandbox and the slide. We can’t wait for him to get a little bigger and enjoy the rope wall and the rock wall too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, sturdy, easy to build

This definitely too some time to build, but the instruction book and the app were both straightforward. Anyone who is able bodied could put this together. It’s a great playset for kids of all ages. Sturdy enough for the recommended weights, but you can tell that anyone heavier is pushing the limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful swing set

M.D. · April 26, 2025

This swingset is high quality and beautiful. It comes in three large boxes and the slide. In total, we spent about 35-40 man hours between sorting the wood and hardware and assembly. The instructions are very clear and the app is extremely helpful in making sure pieces are assembled correctly. Sorting the hardware by size made finding pieces easy, and then we would confirm the hardware with the three digit code on the bag. Whenever we thought there was an error in where the holes were pre-drilled, it was always just that we hadn’t looked at the instructions carefully enough. We went through and tightened everything at the end and the swing set is very sturdy and durable. Our border was 24’x24’ which seems like a good size and is a little smaller than what the instructions suggest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it!!

Very nice!!! Sturdy and well constructed. Laying out the parts was the worst as it took so long, but instructions were clear and it came together beautifully!!
