Sportspower Rosemead Metal Swing and Slide Set Review

Sportspower Outdoor Rosemead Metal Swing & Slide Set & Saucer Shade

Main Features to Note:

  • Includes the patented flying saucer swing with reinforced inner webbing and holds up to 2 kids safely inside the saucer
  • Has been crafted with heavy-duty 2-inch powder-coated steel tubes for more durability and longevity
  • There are two blow-molded swings with safe vinyl chain covers to protect little fingers.
  • There is the large and durable 6-foot 6-inches slide and is a one-piece blow-molded slide for easier assembly
  • There is also the large 2-person blow-molded Roman glider constructed with an extra thick hanger and handles for better grip
  • The saucer and glider use a 4-point chain hanger design for better stability compared to common 2-point chain systems
  • Includes also the shade attachment which covers kids in the saucer on hot and sunny days
  • Allows as many as 7 kids with a maximum 100 lbs each - 700 lbs total
  • Meets or exceeds all ASTM safety standards and the size is 177 by 104 by 72.8 inches
  • Price when last seen on sale was in the $190 to $290 region which of course can be double checked below.

Main Pros Outlined:

  • Kids can both relax and swing in the patented 45 inch flying saucer swing with reinforced inner webbing
  • Saucer can hold 2 kids at once so they can chat and relax or swing in company
  • A large unique 2 seat Roman glider is included with east grip handles to hold onto.
  • Has high quality heavy-duty 2-inch steel tubes for the frame which makes it heavier and stronger
  • Can entertain 7 kids at once so ideal for parties and play dates each with 100 Ibs per child capacity
  • Has a total weight capacity of 700Ibs with the stronger 2 inch heavy duty tubes
  • Includes the standard 2 blow molded seats and the slide is 78 inches long (6 foot and 6 inches)
  • All chains are vinyl covered to protect little hands
  • Has the powder-coated finish on the frame which is standard nowadays and very important
  • Toddler swings can be added where needed but requires extra work on your behalf.
  • Assembly is a lot quicker than wood and can take 2 to 5 hours only - view assembly instructions here
  • Has the 4 point chain hanger for better stability on the roman glider and saucer nest swing
  • Has a free shade attachment for the nest swing for added comfort and protection on sunny days
  • One of the main attractions of course is the awesome nest swing which the kids will thoroughly enjoy.
  • Exceeds or meets all ASTM safety standards and overall good value for the amount of money you have to pay and at times can be available for less than $400.

Main Cons Outlined

  • There is no mini trampoline or see saw included which many other swing sets have
  • No shoe loop or trapeze swing either but the nest saucer swing makes up for this
  • You will need to buy an anchor set separately which is an added expense
  • Needs to be cemented in the ground to avoid rocking with high swinging
  • Changing to a toddler swing is more difficult than originally thought and changing the swing heights is not easy to do due to the bolt system.
  • Additional tools/bolts should be on standby for assembly as it is trickier than you think
  • There has been reports of missing parts so having spare bolts / nuts etc will be beneficial
  • More attention is needed to ensure 100% of the correct parts are included at all times
  • Issues have been reported with the slide holes not lining up correctly which delays assembly
  • The shade on the saucer is a bit flimsy and may not last very long – maybe a season or 2
  • Assembling the slide should also be easier and quicker instead of the unnecessary hassle
  • Steps on the ladder need to be closer with more steps included as they are too far apart
  • Plastic covers for the screws/bolts should be of better quality and packaging in some cases has been poor.
  • Far too many people have experienced missing parts – more care and attention is definitely needed with the packing department

Thanks also for pointing out all the bad things or cons that have been experienced so at least we can be more prepared when it arrives. Thank you, Lily
