Selling like hotcakes, according to the retailer's website, this wooden apparatus is a top pick among parents this summer as it offers a fun and active way to keep kids entertained through the long summer holiday that is nearly here, with 30 sold in the last 48 hours at the time of writing this. Plus, it offers an engaging way to reduce screen time during the school break.
Normally retailing for a steep £749.99, this Plum Lookout Tower with Swing Arm is now reduced to better than half-price at £349.99.
This fast-selling Plum Wooden Lookout Tower with Swings is packed with features that are sure to inspire hours of outdoor, active play this summer.
Ideal for kids of all ages, the wooden play set features a wooden tower and slide, allowing kids to watch over their surroundings and inspire imaginative games. The climbing frame also features a rock wall with green hand and foot grips that provide a challenging climb to the tower for young adventurers. The play set also features binoculars and telephone accessories for keeping watch during all types of games.
Equipped with a ladder and a heavy-duty wave slide, this climbing frame is just like that you'd find at your local park, allowing kids to enjoy engaging outdoor fun without needing to leave the garden.
This wooden play set also comes equipped with a swing arm that boasts double swings and comfortable soft-feel ropes, making this climbing frame perfect for siblings or hosting young friends. And the fun doesn't stop there, as underneath the play tower is a hidden sand pit with a chalkboard accessory, perfect for hiding treasure during secret missions and marking the spot.
Other shoppers who have picked up this wooden frame have left glowing 5-star reviews, with one parent beaming, "I purchased this 2 weeks ago and put it together this week, it's fantastic! I was sceptical after reading other reviews on here about the quality, however, it arrived packaged perfectly, and the instructions were super clear. It took my husband and me 4 hours to put together in total. Our girls absolutely love it (aged 1 & 4 years old). Do not let the other reviews put you off, buy it!!"
Further praise comes from this buyer who raves: "I had been searching all over for a swing set/climbing frame for my little one to enjoy now, but something he can grow with. So when I saw this, I had to get it, it was on an amazing offer and cheaper than the original website!! The fact that it had 2 swings was perfect because I'm planning another child and 2 swings will be needed, but also the fact that you buy all the different attachments aswell separately, and if we want to make it more challenging when my little one gets older we can also buy the extension of the monkey bars, I love the fact that it has something for that he loves now bits that will challenge him as he gets older and the flexibility of changing it up."
Though one shopper did make a note about this set 's normal expensive price tag, saying: "I think a key point to note here is the price. I wouldn't buy this at full price. We got it for about 400 pounds, and we are delighted with what it delivers at this price point. Currently watching my 3.5-year-old have the time of his life using his wee imagination on it. It's nice and compact, strong, and the Plum customer service has been great. They're going to send us a couple of replacement parts (one split during installation and one isn't smooth enough). This doesn't bother me; it's wood after all!) I do think this will last long enough for our kids to outgrow it, and that's all I wanted. To get something similar was gonna be about a thousand pounds elsewhere, and I worried he wouldn't use it enough to justify that"
