Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
WICKEY's Smart Camp finished at number 10 in our guide to climbing frames. It is a wooden play tower with a 120 cm platform, a sandpit, a swing, a slide with a water connection and an integrated playhouse, sold in green at £839.99 with a 10-year warranty and a stated rating of 4.0 out of 5 from 117 ratings.
Two of those figures are worth reading twice. The 117 ratings break down as 48 five-star, 21 four-star, 17 three-star, 10 two-star and 4 one-star — which adds up to 100, not 117. And the only age field on the listing reads "0 - 3 years", an odd recommendation for a frame whose own description puts children on a 120 cm platform reached by a climbing ladder, with a swing and a slide. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for the Smart Camp; we have not built or tested the frame ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Delighted with our purchase. Materials arrived ahead of schedule with only a few washers missing which it turned out we didn't need anyway. The instructions were relatively easy to follow as long as you take your time. It took 2 of us approximately 11 hours to assemble the main structure and then 1 person another 3-4 hours time to prepare and fit the decorative fittings. Watching some of the online (YouTube) tutorials was very helpful. Hopefully many hours of fun ahead for the little ones.”
Verified purchase“wenn es denn mal aufgebaut ist, ist es ein mega Spaß für die kleinen! Die Bretter/Latten werden allerdings nass geliefert und man kann beim Austrocknen zusehen - der Spielturm bekommt grössere Spalte. Macht dem Spielen aber nichts aus....es sollte aber dennoch gestrichen werden, sobald alles getrocknet ist - die Imprägnierung ist nicht so das Wahre - an den Schnittstellen ist es nicht imprägniert”
