## 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.

Review: Great playset, especially if you get it on sale - 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.
Review: Great value very simple set up! - 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).

## Features

- BUILT FOR OUTDOORS: Made to withstand the weather, this wooden backyard set is pre-treated with a water-based stain that includes UV and mold protection to hold up against the elements.
- ASSEMBLY WITH A FRIEND: Make assembly easier with more help! Two people can set up this item in approximately 4-8 hours.
- CHALK WALL: Sketch a treasure map, practice writing letters or numbers or write out the menu for the day. The chalk wall helps bring imaginative play to life.
- SHADED AREA: The upper deck is a landing spot for deciding where to visit next is also a cool break from active play, thanks to the tarp canopy.
- ACTIVE & IMAGINATIVE PLAY: Exercise muscles with the rock wall, slide and swings. Or, enjoy role playing in the below area that would make an ideal sandbox (sand not included).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very honest review
*by M***Y on June 10, 2023*

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!
