Description

The Appleton Swing Set by KidKraft is perfect for small spaces. With a compact footprint of just 80 sq. ft., Appleton packs miles of fun into every well- crafted inch—accommodating up to six lively kids. Starting with an exhilarating high-rail wave slide, the adventure continues with a quick scramble up the rock wall ladder to the shade of the gable-roofed upper deck. There, enclosed by protective side slats, children can safely draw or write on the vinyl chalkwall, survey their magic kingdoms or just sit and play. Outside, a trip to the sandbox for archaeological digs or a ride on one of the two sturdy belt swings provides plenty of fresh air activity. Adults will appreciate the high-quality, 100% premium wood construction and ease of assembly. Appleton is one small wonder that packs a big punch. For children aged 3 years to 7 years.

The overall sturdiness and appeal to children make it a worthy purchase for families.

  • Worth it
Style: Appleton
Perfect for children under 8 . I’ve got a two year old who’s been wanting to climb everything lately, this is perfect for her to get her practice climbing at home compared to the park . Super adorable . My step father put it together . He spilt it into two days of assembly .. he said the the instructions were easy to read and that it was better than he had expected it to be. Appears to be pretty sturdy I personally wouldn’t sit down on there to swing just to be safe Granit it’s perfect for the kids !! Everything was included that we needed aside from tools . Daughter seems to enjoy it so I would say mission accomplished! ... show more

  • Overall quality is ok, not great or bad, just OK.
Style: Appleton
For the price it isn’t bad, not great it’s ok. So far I’ve had it up for a month and it seems to be handling the wind, rain etc fairly well. Overall it’s fairly sturdy. My swing came in a huge box and everything was packed very well. We only had one missing bolt which was remedied with a quick trip to the hardware store. From start to finish it took me 5 hrs working by myself, I do have a lot of construction experience and even I was confused at times reading the instructions, but it’s still a Project that anyone with basic common sense can easily handle. My son and grandson seem to really enjoy playing on it and it gets them outside and off the video games, so for me anyways that’s a win! ... show more

  • Poorly designed
Style: Appleton
We are contractors and remodel homes for a living, so building in general isnt a big deal for us....but....You couldnt make a more poor build design if you tried. Lots of parts that may or may not be labled and labeled without any logic or reason like a toddler was rambling numbers and they stamped them to a part. 25+ diffent bags of hardware that may or may not be used including 8 different sizes screws, 7 or 8 different sizes bolts, washers, t-nuts, nuts, etc that literally took up the entire tail gate of our truck when laid out....they too are labeled like a toddler rambling numers. Instructions were beyond horrible. You will need a full bag of tool: socket ratchet set, adjustable wrench x2, hammer, drill (square bit included but did strip the screw heads so we had to improvise), 1/8 drill bit for lag screws, a square, measuring tape, level, 2 step ladders. We had 2 people, again very experienced in construction, took us about 5 hours to complete. Final product: its small, not for adult use at all, wood is flimsy, most is made with 1x4s, and lots of cracking while it was built, i dont expect the tarp roof to hold up to much wind or snow and im shocked that one of the walls on the platform is just a tarp...with screws in it...ment to stop a child from falling 5 ft...yeah im gunna go to lowes and add 2 more boards to reinforce that "tarp wall"... Anyway, likely over priced for the cheap, way overly complicated design. We laugh as we were building it that it would have been easier to make one from scratch...but not for the price i guess. Itll do for a few years but i dont expect much from it. ... show more

  • Great playset, especially if you get it on sale
Style: Appleton
Got this on sale for $350, which seemed like a great deal. It's been 3 months since I put it all together and so far, it's holding up great. Playset is on the smaller side - don't expect something from a public park, but it's perfect for toddlers and small kids, any under 4'6" and 80 pounds (it's rated for 110 pounds but kids that big are probably on their smart phones instead). Any playset that is bigger will likely cost way more ($1,500+), so this is a great deal all things considered. My set came with all the necessary pieces, nothing broken. Cedar wood is of good quality and smells nice. Cedar is considered a softwood, but these planks seem sturdy enough. Still, be careful when you drill in screws or bolts The wood appears treated in some way as the water beads off, but I'll see how it holds up this winter (I live in Southern California so I'm more worried about sun damage - I'll likely need to stain/seal before each summer). It took me and a friend about 7 hours to assemble it all - we spent an hour organizing and about 6 to build, with a long lunch in the middle that involved a lot of beer (not recommended). Required tools - socket wrench with 5/16 and 1/2 drives along with a power drill. You'll need a Phillips drive bit and the hardware provided include a Robertson drive bit - definitely use it over anything you may already have. Most of the holes are pre-drilled and I encountered only one piece that seemed to be pre-drilled incorrectly (fortunately, I have a power drill). Other tips - you need a flat surface. Sort out ahead of time the wood pieces by number group and the hardware size (bolts, screws, washers, nuts) together by size so they're easy to grab - this is what took so long to organize as we figured out some of the hardware could be set up in advance (bolts paired with their washers and nuts, etc). Don't tighten anything until the end so you can maneuver all the pieces into place, especially when you manhandle the swing portion to the main station. Finally, take your time reading the instructions - they can be a bit confusing and if you look at it wrong, you may mix things up (I actually mirrored the whole set on accident, but that actually worked out to be a better fit for my backyard). I modified my version in order to support installing a pirate ship wheel (basically, there are some horizontal supports you can screw on from the outside of the "fort" rather than inside) and left the back space open, taking out the chalk wall and putting a rope ladder instead. All in all, considering how little it cost, I am happy about this and so is my son, so that's all that counts. ... show more

  • Chalkboard tarp is crap
Style: Appleton
Purchased for grand daughter and so disappointed with top of the slide being a tarp ” chalkboard “ definitely does not feel safe. To flimsy, why not make it a real board? Missing hardware, had to purchase more to complete setup. If it wasn’t so much work to take it down I would return!

  • Best Value
Style: Appleton
This in my opinion was a steal for the price. Bought it for our 1.5 year old and she loves it, replaced a swing with a baby swing and it's ready to go. Installation took me 3 hrs alone but I've assemble similar playset before. I do suggest pre drilling your holes to prevent cracking other than that its a great product, the materials are good quality wood is already prestained I may add a sealer to prolong the life of the wood. ... show more
