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.

Previous reviews also mentioned that assembly could be difficult. I finally figured out a system to assemble which decreased assembly time. Laying out all parts orderly is a must. Reading instructions at least three times while preforming assembly helps. Also looking ahead three or four pages helped to orientate position of some boards greatly helped. This is note a quick assembly so be prepared to take your time. Also worth mentioning is that stakes proved to anchor it down will not work if you have solid hard ground. The stakes are wooden and split when I tried to drive in with a sledge hammer. Purchased anchor hardware from local hardware store made of medal stakes, wire rope and anchor bolts ($50). I have been in the automotive maintenance field for over 30 years so putting together wood made kits is not my 1st choice. However, for the price, it has hard to pass up. Took approximately 10-12 hours for me to assembly. I had on tools needed to assembly. You will need a set of extra hands on some of the assembly. Finish product looks great and was kid and mom approved.

Really great bang for your buck option. Perfect for my two year old. She loves it so very much! At some point we’ll probably replace the chalkboard tarp with a board painted with chalkboard paint because the tarp is hard to write on. We were able to easily switch the one swing with a baby swing for our infant. Looks nice and is sturdy.

If you have trouble with ikea furniture you will not be able to put this together yourself. I did this myself and it took about 8 hours. I used about 1000 dollars worth of tools to make this easier. If all you have is hand tools it will just take longer, a lot longer. Make sure you have saw horses. Make sure you are on level ground like concrete. It assembles in 2 sections the swing and the fort. I was able to build it on my concrete patio and then move it all myself. USE A SQUARE. If you don't it will come out looking like junk. Read the directions. The way they show things can be hard to see some times, and there are things that get partially attached and secured later. The directions tell you everything. When they say be gentle on the wood they mean it. It is a very soft wood that splits easy. The wood is stained so thats nice. If you have hard soil, when you get the staking part you will probably want to use a metal rod to make a pre hole for the stake, otherwise you will split the stake. The assembly will take TIME. The warranty they have is really nice. This is a nice first fort and swing. It feels sturdy enough for small children. No way an adult should ever climb on this. The swings seem fine for an adult so you can swing with your kid, though you are not going to be going high. My 4 year old loves it!

We’ve had this full wooden playground set for almost 2 years now, and it’s been nothing short of amazing. The build quality is top-notch—it’s held up through some serious weather without any issues. Most importantly, my kids are still obsessed with it. Even after all this time, they play on it constantly. Compared to other sets we looked at, this one was worth the extra cost for the durability and the joy it brings. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a long-lasting backyard upgrade.

We purchased this swing set for our two boys (2 years old and 8 months). The set and instructions were great! The beginning of the instructions tell you what hand tools you need, and show you each piece of wood and hardware you should have. All of the wood was labeled, all of the hardware was individually bagged and labeled. Each page tells you what wood pieces and what hardware you will need for each step. For 90% off the set up you can do this by yourself. It took me 3 days dedicating 4 hours of work each day. Pros: - Affordable - Good Value - Easy set up - Kids love it Cons: - One small piece of wood had a moderate split (didn’t affect the outcome).

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.

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!
