Review on 10ft Freestanding Climber and Swingset for Backyard Fun - Outdoor ๐Ÿง— Play Set with Jungle Gym and Above Ground Pool Slide, Perfect for Kids by Antonio Edan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Update: great service! Poor quality, overpriced, fun for small kids.

I bought this slide here on Walmart for $359 on July 27, 2020. Another reviewer mentions having paid under $300 and now August 2, 2020, it's up to almost $400.Assembly:If you have slender and nimble fingers, assembly is not difficult. You have to get a washer and nut onto a bolt inside the slide rails (as shown in picture) and big hands can't get in there. Dad and grandpa would not have been able to get this together for love or money, but I assembled it in 2 hours with a two year old "helping".Quality:I'm very concerned about the quality. The only people to have gone down this slide are a two and three year old and the plastic is already showing stress lightening in several places, shown in photos. I don't think this slide can last long and I wouldn't allow bigger kids on it it's rated for kids up to 110 lbs but I'm sure it would break in a hurry. Plus it's embarrassing to buy something so expensive and have it go bad so fast.Description :This slide is 10 ft. Long, not 10 feet high. It's is 4'8" deck height 6'8" at the top of the railings. It doesn't have a hose bib connector for the water slide, nor does it come with a hose. It has a plastic nipple (in photo) and comes with crimps to attach your own custom hose. This makes sense if you're recirculating water from a pool, but it's inconvenient if you want to use this with a garden hose.Fun: The toddlers love it with no water. This slide is fast. My kid shoots off the end of it if not using hands or feet to break.Value:I chose this slide because I live in a hot climate and the other slides were dark colors. This slide warms up, but doesn't get burning hot, so that's completely excellent. But because of the quality issues and increasing price I'd say it's not worth the $359 I paid for it.Customer support:I've contacted the seller, will upgrade or downgrade this review depending on service.******Update *******I reached out to the seller and was very pleased with their prompt and detailed response, as well as their offer to remediate my problem.Since I knew the solution was coming, I allowed my nephews, 8-12, 60-100lbs, on the slide and they had an absolute ball. I still feel the slide is a bit expensive, but I'm satisfied with the solution I was offered and again, it is a very fun slide.I've placed a stiff plastic carpet protector under the end of the slide to create a little more landing area because kids in wet bathing suits absolutely shoot off the end of this thing. That's part of the fun.
