We chose this swing set over two other very similar ones on Amazon. It was the most expensive of the three but appeared to be the best quality. It came the next day, thanks to Amazon Prime. It took two of us about an hour to leisurely assemble it all. The only difficulty was separating all the nuts and bolts in to their different sizes for assembly. Once assembled, the children absolutely loved it and only came in when it started raining! If I have to be super picky, my only criticisms would be that it does have the tendency to lift up when heavier children are using it, and that the main cross piece rotates slightly where bolted into the A-frame legs when used by the children.

Easy to assemble design. Had to use a more substantial spanner than the one supplied to tighten bolts to my satisfaction. All four grandkids love it and have had great fun on it. So far it seems well anchored to the ground without the concrete pads. Once we decide on its final position in the garden I will concrete the four corners, as recommended in the instruction book, to make it even more solid.Well worth the price, which is very competitive.

Delivery within a few days, just in time for my daughter’s birthday which was great. Assembly takes a bit of time but it is feasible. It’s not that sturdy unless you cement it in, but on the lawn and if only 2 kids use it it’s fine although an adult has to watch they don’t swing too high. All in all okay but I would get a more expensive one next time. Great service though as delivery was super-fast!

Great garden set for kids would recommend great value for money... my only issue was that when we were putting the seesaw seats in with the screws on one end there was melted plastic inside which we couldn't screw in properly so we had to drill through the whole, which we shouldn't of had to do.. so make sure you check everything before you build but apart from that great product my kids love it.

This swing set provides places for upto four young children to use at any one time , without taking over the garden. Very easily put together and appears reasonably robust. Because it is metal I anticipate it will rust over time, but at present it looks pretty good. I have added more secure swing seats than the ones provided and my grandsons aged 2yrs and 9months are having a ball !

Brought as a birthday present for my daughter's 5th birthday! She loves it but would like it made clear that concrete is needed to secure the set. As she was unable to use it straight away due not secured down. Also it was very difficult to tell the difference between the different size screws even with the measure on the back page.But a lovely swing set :)

Quite easy to put up. I ended up getting my dad to help me as I couldn’t bear an argument with the husband! It’s in the ground and it’s solid! I haven’t used concrete as the landlord would have a fit, but no way is it moving anywhere! I’ve got a 3 year old who’s skinny, but my 5 year old is a chunk and it’s still not lifting! Deffo recommend.

Perfectly suitable for the age groups listed, and very simple to assemble.Could be assembled by one, probably better with two people. Literally put things into holes the put a bolt in.A little flexible, but then again, it’s cheap. The children love it.Note that it does need to be fixed into the ground- it won’t be suitable to free stand.

Good quality product and great value , it would be great to be able to buy interchangeable features such as Trapeze or climbing rope which would extend hours of play and interest and grow with age and interest of children. Easy straight forward assembly and compact enough to bring to grandma's and set up for weekend or stay over !!!!

Great value for money BUT difficult to set up for ONE reason: the bolts are all in one pack together.The problem with that is many of the bolts are only 2-3mm different in length so its extremely difficult to sort them by eye. At times you basically need to use a measuring tape to work out which bolt you're supposed to use.

We were really pleased with this swing set as it was very good value for money and does t take up very much space in the garden. Took my dad over 2 hours to put together (prob more of a 2 man job) but looks fab so was worth the wait! Argos were so easy to deal with and delivered it on time. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Overall very pleased with the Swing Set. My only reservation relates to the design of the anchoring mechanism. The anchors are rather flimsy for securing into concrete. It would be a huge improvement if either two anchors were supplied for each leg OR thicker, flat solid steel anchors were supplied.

Husband putt this together in about 1/2 hour. Kids like playing on it. See saw part a little stiff to get swinging for smaller children. We put the stabiliser rods into the grass. It recommends putting into concrete, but personally didn’t want 4 blocks of concrete in my lawn !

I've given four stars, but would expect to pay a lot more for a five star swing. My kids love it and play on it all the time. It does flex a fair bit when they are swinging hard, rigidity is ok but not 100% solid. Very happy with it though and can see a few years of use.
