Lakewood Swing Set

Perfect for Young Children

I love this little swing set! This was an affordable option for me as the weather cools down. The shipping was fast and it came in two boxes, one larger and the other smaller. It looks great in our backyard and my 3 year old instantly fell in love.

The set itself is nice and sturdy and comes with a ground anchor kit. I highly recommend anchoring this set to the ground because it’s on the smaller side. The swings are good quality and have an adjustable chain for multiple lengths. The swings are mostly rope and then have a chain higher up, which is nice for little hands. The height is perfect for a toddler. I love that the ladder can be used as a rock wall. The small details of the chalkboard and sandbox are really nice for something compact.

I paid to have this swingset assembled by a professional carpenter. I deducted one star because the wood did have some minor cracks. Given that a professional did the job, I think the cracks speak more of the wood quality being on the softer side. It took three men approximately six hours to complete from start to finish.

Overall, I am very pleased for the price paid. This is a very functional little set and I could see any child from 2-7 enjoying this. Beyond that it might be a bit small.

Good Value Playground "Easy Build Overall"

I bought this playground for my son as a birthday gift. I haven’t given it to him yet, but the good thing is that it’s already fully assembled and ready for him.

I assembled it by myself in about 6 hours. The process was mostly straightforward, although I think it would be even better if some of the pieces came pre-arranged or partially assembled to save time.

There were also a few small details in the assembly instructions that I didn’t like because they could have been clearer. Nothing major, but a little more clarity would make the build easier.

Overall, considering the price, this is an excellent playground. You definitely get what you pay for, and compared to other playgrounds in a similar price range, this one seems to have good quality.

The description says it can hold up to 5 kids at the same time, so I’m not expecting it to be super heavy-duty, but I do hope it surprises me and lasts a long time.

Intense installation with a million different pieces

I was a little hesitant to order based on reviews about damaged pieces, but everything came in good condition and all the parts were there.
It said installation should take 4 hours but it took us a little over 6 hours, so it was extremely intense and honestly some of the directions were labeled a little confusing. You have the option to download the BILT app to go step by step, but I found it super annoying to hear so much repeating and it used too much of my battery so we used the paper directions to finish.

Overall this is a super cute swingset and perfect for toddlers/small kids. My son is 2.5 and it's great for him, but Im thinking by the time he's like 6-8 we're going to have to upgrade to something different.
All pieces came in good condition, and everything is braced well for maximum support but the wood does seem soft and not that durable. If you tighten bolts too hard it will be extremely easy to damage the wood.

Durable, nice quality

This swing set is really nice! The cedar wood makes it super durable and it is not to big. It is just the perfect size. The instructions were pretty simple and the set up was not bad at all. I highly recommend this play set.

Amazing playground for a great price!!

The perfect playground for our kids!! We are so happy with how it looks and how structurally sound it is. It was definitely an all day build because we only had 1 person doing it, but the digital instructions were incredible. The warranty is also really great - had to replace 2 boards because they split when we drilled into it, but they are sending new ones.

The little playhouse is so much fun for our daughter and we added an infant swing for our little one.

Highly recommend this product and brand - the stain and wood itself is really beautiful too. Such a great price for the product as well.

Also it only came in 1 box, but my orders said 2. But everything even the slide came in one box!
