Real feedback from families, schools, and therapists who use Avenlur playsets, furniture, and baby gear every day.
Families have been buying Avenlur playsets, climbers and furniture since 2019. Every review on this page comes from a verified purchase, collected after delivery rather than solicited in advance, and we publish them unedited. The Magnolia jungle gym alone has over 2,700.
Three things come up again and again: the wood feels heavier and more solid than people expect, assembly takes less time than they feared, and the frames are still in daily use a year or two later. The criticism we hear most is about delivery timing on the largest outdoor sets, which ship freight.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 20604 reviews.
I had a great experience and am happy with my purchase. The order arrived quickly, with detailed instructions and all parts included. I assembled it myself (56 year old grandma) and had my son-in-law attach it to the wall. Grandkids approved (ages 1,4,6,7). They are thrilled and love playing on it. Highly recommend the company and their wonderful products.
Our kids absolutely love this swing set! It keeps them entertained for hours and they’ve been playing on it every day. The quality feels sturdy and well made. The only downside was that assembly took quite a long time and definitely required two people to complete. Overall, we’re very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to families with active kids.
My 2 yr old loves this new play set! We wanted something safer for young kids (rather than those huge sets you get from other playground companies) and this is perfect for now and even as she grows. My husband put it together, working on it over the span of a couple weeks (due to full time job and toddler parenting) and he said the hardest part was digging the holes to be perfectly level, and he still only gave it a difficulty rating of 4/10. Would definitely recommend this play set!
Shipping was super fast and just as I expected from other reviews in terms of quality, look, and set-up. Kids love it so far. I am including this pic for those with smaller homes without a dedicated playroom-- because I went back and forth as to whether I wanted to use my only wall with 6 studs (my living room wall) and make a hybrid play/living room. It actually looks pretty cool as an accent wall, and added benefit is that I don't want my 3 year old climbing this unattended, and this way I'm not banished to a basement playroom with them begging to climb it all the time (my experience with a basement swing we set up) ha!
Read all the reviews before purchasing because they're all really helpful in deciding whether to get it. What advice would I give? It is not an easy afternoon project. This is a multi-evening process working with two people-- maybe 8 hours total spent putting it together, and my husband is pretty handy. And let's not forget we have toddlers... so yeah multi-day project, but worth it! Don't use their hex screw, get a longer handled one for added torque or your thumb will be hurting not even halfway through putting it together.
Perfect still for even an almost 6 year old (the blue outfitted kid in the pic), though I feel like the bar thing the swing hangs from is straining a little from his weight on the swing (he's small for his age).. so maybe any older and this bar is not suitable for rotational forces like that. We accidentally put on some of the rock wall panels on backwards and I actually really like the look of the irregular holds rather than a perfect pattern-- more visually interesting and some added challenge for the climber. The swing does come a little close to the wall as other reviews stated, so kids have to be good at swinging straight and not rotating their bodies on it-- less than perfect, but kids still love it. A lot of comments here have 3-6 year olds saying they wish they got it sooner, but honestly I think this age range is perfect for it. Younger than 3 and I'd be worried about them breaking their neck-- but I know the benefits of risky play--- just commit yourself to more need of supervising playtime at home for safety :)).
Love it!
The wood finish is beautiful and smooth. Get some good crash pads for the kids, I'm finding the nugget isn't quite big enough to cover a falling zone so my husband pulled out his crashpad for added safety.
This is so well built! Strong enough to hold adult weight, large enough to entertain kids of all ages. Our number 1 purchase for our kids by far. This is used all day every day. I really wanted aomething that didnt feel too little kiddish, something my kids could get a lot of use out of even in the next couple years. This is it. I am tempted to buy another for the other wall. Every kid (and adult, lol) that comes over is drawn to thisclimber!!
Love love love! The instructions and labeling of all the pieces was fantastic and so helpful. Honestly, it was one of the easiest things to build, it just took some time. The whole assembly took about 6-7 hours to build with two people, but we divided it up into a few days. Once built, the kids (15mo, 3years) have been playing on it for hours at a time. So happy with this purchase, I wish we had bought it sooner. My only suggestion would be to package it without the styrofoam to help out the planet. For those building this - a power drill is a must! We’ll be having lots of fun with this for years to come!
Bought this for my 7 month old son as he was getting more mobile and we wanted to encourage this through play. Sure enough a day or two after we put this together, he’s using it to pull himself up and climbing it!!
I love that the triangle collapses and everything is super modular, makes storage super easy.
Couple additions I added for safety - the Avenlur Playpen mat to help cushion falls as he’s still getting used to standing and getting around.. I also added some non stick grip adhesives to the bottom of the triangle as without this, it was sliding all over our floors which isn’t ideal for a baby pulling themselves up on it.
Overall super happy with this product, if I had the space for it I’d be decking out a playroom with the entire range.
I installed this in my pediatric gym and have a mobile ball pit below. The 3-5 years old are enjoying the climbing wall/slide attachment, while kids of all ages and sizes are enjoying climbing and dropping into the ball pit. As you can see, I have gym mats everywhere, and other suspension mounts in the ceiling for swings. The ladder is the perfect edition to the space.
My son-in-law and I put this play set together in one long day. They were both pleased with the outcome and so was my little grandson! Tips for success: 1) lay out and organize all pieces beforehand. 2) attach the colored climbing pegs prior to installing the boards themselves. It would have been helpful if the directions had included information about the orientation of the footprint and the base pieces within it.
We used this table for a little spot under our playground and it’s been great so far to use for messier activities. Perfect size for kids! We have 2 under 3.
Great delivery service, speedy and no damage at all. They even helped put it further than they would have so it was protected from rain under our carport. Thanks!
Fit perfectly in our small space and very steady. Toys are in accessible to our 16 months old. Make it easy to stay organized. Great quality with smooth finish.
Our daughter loves her monkey bar and plays with it almost everyday! She is now asking us to turn the basement into a gym! The structure is sturdy and assembly was straightforward. We highly recommend this product.
Perfect for our 3 year old. His cousins 3-6 years old had a blast too! Pay close attention to the position of the base pieces, the instructions weren’t super clear and I had to flip things a couple of times.
Exceeded Our Expectations! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We purchased the Avenlur Magnolia Jungle Gym with the large mat for our grandson’s 2nd birthday, and it was an absolute hit! He LOVES it, and watching him climb, explore, and become more confident has been so much fun. He’s such a brave little guy!
The quality is fantastic. It’s incredibly well made, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. We couldn’t be happier with this purchase. It has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend it!
Absolutely love this Jungle Gym! My 13-month-old son has been obsessed with it since the day we got it, and we use it every single day!
The quality is fantastic, and it fits beautifully into our play space. We enjoy every single part of it — the swing, slide, ladders, and rings! His absolute favorites are the ladder and the rings, and he’s already pulling himself up on them!
It’s such a wonderful way to encourage physical development, coordination, strength, and confidence while having so much fun. Definitely one of our best purchases! Highly recommend!
Best purchase for my very active son. He loves climbing it. It was very easy to put together just time consuming. We bought a crash pad to go underneath. Such a great setup for years to come.
This grandma put it together easily, by myself, in less than two hours using the included tools plus an electric screwdriver. I even managed to attach it to the wall alone. It is made of high quality wood and is a solid structure. My three granddaughters, ages 8,6,4, climb on it every time they visit.
I purchased this for my 6mo old once he started to pull up and stand on everything. He loves the set and uses it daily!! And I love that it’s an item he’ll be using for a long time!
Good quality. But too big for an infant ( 10+ months old).
Wished it was a little smaller. We ended up getting an insert from Amazon to shrink the internal size
Lovely play set. Colorful. Good quality.
Lots of parts to assemble - took 2 people close to 6+ hours to put it together. While the enclosed book had the correct instructions, the online version has a few errors.
Love this climber, it took more than two hours to complete by myself, the head of climbing rope got damaged during moving up and down from the wood and the climbing rocks are the hardest to put on by only one woman. My three years old daughter fell down from the swing several times, wish the swing has a better design. Other than that, we love it! Luckily we have received the bright colorful rocks. Hope this climber can last for several years.
