“Exactly what we wanted to keep our little man (and not so little princess) entertained. Wood is good quality and didn’t take my husband too long to put together ( about a day) but helps if you have the proper tools. There were a few screws, nuts and bolts missing which we had to purchase from b&q (cost around £10!!). The finished result looks good, there is a bit of movement in the frame but this is to be expected. All round a great item”

“Excellent product and outstanding service from Activity Toys Direct. My granddaughter (30 months) took to it straightaway and even created her own game from the tower playing hide and seek with the adults below. Would highly recommend the product and especially Activity Toys Direct.”

“The children aged 5 and 3 love it however we experienced a few issues with it. Delivery was a disappointment.. 8 out of the 9 boxes were delivered but the main posts for the swing were on a different delivery truck. Half was built but we had to wait a further 2 days for the rest to be delivered, which was frustrating for the children. This was chased up by the company but we received conflicting messages between activity toys and the courier about what had happened to it and when it would arrive. The item itself is sturdy although the swings do need to be cemented in. The slide is a very good size and the climbing wall is great for the 5yo. We had to level out the garden to get it all to sit nicely. It was a challenge to build, the instructions aren't clear and we found a couple of misprints regarding the screws needed, some didn't exist and we later found they were not the screws needed as described. The length is measured as 3.64m so we allowed space for this but once completed it has come up about 70cm short. Also, we were disappointed with the sand pit, it is basically just a black net to pour the sand onto and felt that this woukd easily rip. As we had to level the ground, we also no longer had the depth for it. Overall the kids are happy so we are happy. I do however think it is slightly expensive. I think the instructions and measurements need to be reviewed.”

“Bought this just before the lockdown started as we were worried our children would be bored. Delivery was prompt. A descent price for the lookout tower and swing set. I have a 4yo, 2yo and 13wo. The older two have been loving this since the lockdown started. Negatives - the 4yo has learnt to swing like no-ones business and although the tower and A-Frame supports are secured there is flex in the cross-member that supports the swings. The whole swing frame should be heavier gauge timber.”

“Relatively easy to build. The addendums provided separate to the instruction booklets would be better if all placed in one box.”

“Great service. Delivered quickly and available to call as we wanted to check that all the parts had been delivered. Instructions require some thought and would recommend an impact driver drill and socket wrench. But it comes together nicely. Would recommend the product and Activity Toys Direct”

“One corner bracket missing, screws for the safe wall round tower too short, not gripping the wood such that the panels flew off in the wind- utterly unacceptable. Were a small child up high on the platform that could have been a trigger for a nasty fall; ditto, were a wee child on the ground by the tower when this happened, the child could have been injured or concussed.”
