To start off with the good: our toddler loves this! We got it when she was about 20 months and have had it for less than a year. It definitely makes our backyard look fun for little kids, too!

The bad: I wish I could say the quality of the swing set matched the price and positive reviews I read before committing to this set. I've had the swing set for less than a year and by the 7 or 8 month mark, the wood was already starting to flake and split. I have to keep my daughter away from certain parts so she doesn't get a splinter. While nice from afar, the swing set doesn't look great up close when you see these faults. We did everything we were supposed to do after installation (we had it professionally installed), I just blame the quality of the product.
