Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WICKEY StormFlyer is a wooden climbing frame with two platforms, a wobble bridge, a swing, a climbing wall and a green slide with a water connection. It takes the number 9 slot in this guide. The price on the listing is £879.99, the platform height is 120 cm, and the assembled footprint is given as 4.94 x 4.95 x 2.6 metres — a wooden tower that needs close to five metres of garden in each direction.
The number on this listing that does not close is the rating count. Amazon shows 4.0 out of 5 from 155 ratings, but the star breakdown printed underneath it adds up to 100: 54 five-star, 22 four-star, 8 three-star, 8 two-star and 8 one-star. Those 100 ratings do average 4.0, so it is the 155 figure, not the average, that stands apart from the rest of the entry. The listing also carries no maximum user weight figure at all, even though it makes stability claims — a 9 x 9 cm swing beam and 9 x 4.5 cm posts — in the same bullet list. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this product and not from any test we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Lovely Pirate ship climbing frame, would point out you need to buy liner for sand pit as an extra (we brought packaged with the anchors). Please note sand pit cover was made separately by my brother (lots of local cats) Very sturdy frame my son loves it! It took a weekend to build allow plenty of time, some of this could be the fact the garden isn'tcompletely flat. Overall pleased with the product and would happily use the company again.”
Verified purchase“Delivery was very quick and with a lovely driver.Did take 2 people to put it together and 2 days to build but it's a fantastic climbing frame, very strong and all my children of different ages absolutely love it. The bridge is a huge hit. I can not recommend this company and climbing frame enough, don't think just buy you will not regret it.”
