Customer Reviews for Gorilla Playsets Mountaineer with Timber Shield and Sunbrella Weston Ginger Canopy Cedar Swing Set

I bought this for my grandkids so that they want to visit Momo’s often - and it worked. They loved it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for our 4 year old son! We ended up hiring someone to put it together! Took about 3 days total! Directions were clear all everything arrived in great condition! We couldn’t be happier with our selection and the quality!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Surprisingly easy to put together, though it does take about 20 hours. Very sturdy and the kids love it. The deck is built just like a deck on a house and is plenty spacious for the kids to hangout in. Overall an excellent product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for our kids for Christmas, and it has been such a hit with them. It’s very sturdy, and I know this is going to be used and loved for many years. It was quite a project to put together, but having seen my husband do it, I have greater confidence that our kids are safe playing on it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

This is second purchase gorilla playset. Our first purchase was for the kids home the second is for the kids to play at grandparents' home. Kids love the play set at their house. Unfortunately, the play set for grandparents' home arrived with boxes open and damage to playset. Have contacted and waiting for response from Gorilla play sets. It appears the damage occurred during shipping.

There is a reason Gorilla Play sets are rated at the Top of their Class! I am a builder that has built over 1,000 residential homes so I have seen a lot of building material. The materials used for this play set are all top quality. Wood, Swings, Hardware, everything.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just finished installing and the kids love it! Very solid playground. Customer service was very helpful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Space saving & functional design. Good quality materials & NOT the cheap thin easily breakable wood like seen in big box stores.....is very sturdy. Instructions were clear & understandable, well written, & fully complete. All accessories were nice quality as well!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This play set was installed at the beginning of spring and my 3-year-old plays with it everyday! He loves both slides, the swings and trapeze, all of different things to climb (rock wall, rope ladder, regular ladder, and the monkey bars add-on). He even asks to have a picnic lunch in his play set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great swing set. I think the quality is really good. I do however wish there was an option to upgrade to one the of the stronger slides. Overall the kids love it. Stained with the Gorilla stain and it looks great after a couple of New England winters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very large play set the kids will love !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This playset is very sturdy and lots of fun. It was very difficult to build but worth it in the long run.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this playset in April of 2020 (during the pandemic). We did not receive the playset until mid-July due to COVID-19, and the tic-tac-toe feature is currently backordered, so we do not have that yet. Other than the delay in receiving the product and the backorder of the tic-tac-toe, we love this playset! My boys are having so much fun playing on it. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quality backyard playset!

The playset seems to be of good quality and the kids enjoy it. But building it was difficult due to the instructions. Step one was to remove picnic table from playscape. If the picnic table hasn't been built, and the playscape hasn't been built; how in the world can removing the picnic table be Step 1??? It only got worse from there. Several other steps were missing and I had to figure it out on my own. But I'm happy its done and the kids really like it so it has been a good and bad experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our daughter loves this play set. This one seemed sturdier than some other ones we were looking at. The instructions were pretty good, but make sure you review them beforehand since they are not necessarily in order.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids absolutely love this swing set. It is a quality made set with great features and added reinforcement. The kids have endless things to do between the steering wheel, the telescope, tic tac toe, the picnic table, the two slides and the swings. It was definitely worth purchasing the treehouse and fort add-ons... not only do they look nice, it adds additional safety measures and "hideouts" for the kids. We would definitely recommend this play set to all of our friends and family. The only reason we did not give this set five stars is because the direction manual was not the easiest to follow due to the separate add on manuals.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was delivered about 5 weeks after ordering- a pallet of large boxes totaling about 770 pounds. Spending a few hours each late afternoon, took one person 4 days to assemble. Early on, making it level took some time to adjust the ground. Instructions, hardware, and parts were all in good shape and clear. We are pleased with this and my family loves it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this playset 3 weeks ago and it has really helped us get through the difficult quarantine. Our son loves both slides and the Rockwall. Sometimes it's hard to get him to stop playing. We are very impressed with the quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is well built. It got a little confusing when you had to refer to the supplemental instructions for the add on features, such as the fort kit and treehouse kit. My kit was missing a set of windows but I called and they said that they are sending out a set. Overall a very well built set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a beautiful playset! Our three year old loves it and it’s challenging enough for him to enjoy for years. Assembly was interesting at times - several of the steps had add on or changed instructions that were packaged separately from the main instructions which caused a few set backs. And a few more and better placed pilot holes would have been helpful. If we did this again, which we hope to never have to, we would have paid for assembly. Overall very happy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My inlaws bought this for Christmas for our kids and we put it together over break. We had 14 kids at our house just yesterday enjoying this amazing swing set. We had a Gorilla at our first home and knew the product would hold up and it was easy to throw together. We love Gorilla products and would continue to recommend them to everyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for our 5 and 18 month old boys and they are absolutely having a blast with it. It took about 3 days to put it together but it was absolutely worth it. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends as it is very sturdy and I hope it will last for years to come.

Very happy. Wish there would have been some more of the specific 2” wood screws and t- nuts but the assembly and quality is great.

My kids absolutely love the playset and it's the first thing they want to do when they get home from school and after homework. My biggest complaint is that they all come in and out of the house all day, letting flies in! We've had to resort to locking the back door and only allowing them to come in for the bathroom, a drink or for meal time.

Suggestion would be to seal right away as it’s already peeling. Don’t bother with using installers. They are unreliable for the expense.

Great swing set. My child loves it. For those building I would say use the digital manual online with an iPad. The instructions are dark and pictures are hard to see where screws go. Also the wood roof seems to be inferior wood compared to the rest of the set. I had to exchange 3 roof panels and am end peice. Other then that, great set. Sturdy !
