I purchased this for my 3 and 5 year old grandchildren (November 2018). My 5 year old grandson told me it was the best gift ever! The 3 year old granddaughter will swing all day as long as someone pushes her. The monkey bars will be used when the children get a little older and we changed out the trapeze bar for now with one of those round web-rope looking swings. The slide is really fast and fun--even for this 62 year old grandmother! It took my husband and son a full 1 1/2 days to put it together--in about 32 degree weather. They said it was challenging but agreed that it was definitely a strong structure. They were impressed with the quality and these two are not easily impressed. I also added the airplane teeter totter built by Lifetime. It holds up to 7 children. It's a great addition to the playground.

This playset is wonderful! My girls absolutely love it. It took about 10 hours for my dad & husband to put it together. Instructions were easy to follow. Excellent quality & worth every penny. I feel like this thing will definitely be around for our grandchildren.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is really nice. I assembled the entire play set by myself, so if you are out there and you have no help, it is doable. I was concerned about my 20 month old not being able to climb the ladder, she climbs it just fine, I do stand beside her just in case though. I did make several mistakes when building it though. I would build so far until I realized that something wasn't right, then I would go back and fix it, which was easy enough, just time consuming. The only thing I would change if I was a engineer at Lifetime is install another step or two at the top of the ladder. In fact, I may contact them on trying to get a couple more.

Our 4 year loves her new play set and we like that it blends with nature. Just like the other reviews, parts of the instructions are not clear especially the section on which post should be the reference to put the floor. This is important so that you have the slots to drill for the slide and ladder parts.

We bought this set for our 4 and 8 year old kids and they absolutely love it. It's large and sturdy enough for multiple children up 12 years old.

Neat looking swingset. Pain to put together, directions aren't detailed enough a few pieces were labeled wrong per the sticker and in book some of the screws weren't long enough and we were 19 BTS screws short had to go buy some.

I have a 7 and 3 year old who absolutely love the playset. However, because the way the ladder curves my just barely 3 year old has real hard time climbing up and has fallen through twice, luckily we have rubber mulch to protect her fall but would be nice if Lifetime had multiple options of ladders or stairs to allow independence for young climbers. Given time 3 year old will learn to climb herself but for now mom or dad must assist and spot her.

This a great playset that looks like it will serve my kids well for years to come. Assembly took 7-8 hours with 2 people working on it. It was a long set up process, but the directions and packaging were organized very well that made everything go smoothly. While it is great for kids I took off one star because I expected it to be a little more sturdy, especially on the trapeze bar on the outside of the monkey bars. If a bigger kid or adult hangs on it, you can see some bend in the arm that supports it. One recommendation for assembly would be to always find the upright post on the tower where the swings connect (3 are the same, 1 is different and has extra holes above the railing) and use that as your frame of reference in lining up where different parts of the tower are installed. I also bought some ground anchors separately from what was provided, so that it could be anchored at multiple points. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase.

We bought this to replace our 8 year old wooden swing set. We are so glad we upgraded to metal. The directions in some places could be a little better. We had a couple of bolts snap d/t being on a slight bind per instructions. Overall great purchase! Kids haven't missed a day of playing even when it's cold out!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We finished assembling the tower on 10/25, and less than 8 weeks later, we see many small areas of rust. We thought it would be at least a year before we would see this much deterioration, so we are very disappointed, especially at this price point. We live in south eastMI, where it is not especially humid, so this seems like a quality issue. We reached out to customer care, but even with replacement parts, we'd have to take apart and reassemble ourselves with the same issue resurfacing two months later - not worth our time and efforts. Very disappointed in the quality.
