This is a strong and sturdy playground! It was not the easiest to put together so you will definitely want a couple of helping hands. I gave 4 stars because of the rust that is already starting on multiple joints. Hopefully some rustoleum will help it make last. We have had it for 4 months.

So far we are loving the new playset! I've gotten many compliments on how nice it is! It is very sturdy and appears to be built well. We hired someone to assemble it and it did take one person almost 16 hours. He said the instructions could be misleading at times. I am very happy with our purchase! Looks industrial, like something you'd find at a park! I hope it holds up over time!

Great product, pretty easy to assemble with two people. The slide is really well made, very sturdy, we had my 8 yr old and 10yr old swinging at the same time and it barely moved around. The only negative i have is to change one page in the instruction book to really emphasize the importance of the metal base frame layout and the flooring in the tower so that everything is in line. we looked back to see if anything was said about that and wasn't. it took us 3 hrs to go back and fix the mistake and that's a lot of time wasted with three young children.

Took two adults about two days to build. Instructions manual and YouTube video were very helpful. Turned out great and the kids loved it.

We bought this a few months ago, it is wonderful. Super sturdy. It's a beast to put together, but worth the work. I know it will last forever, my parents have a lifetime playset that they have had for 25 years.

The paper instructions are not great but there is a video on youtube that was awesome. Once its together it is a really cool structure andnthe kids love it. Very sturdy and good materials used.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this for my grandkids and had it shipped to there home in Texas. My son and his wife assembled it and had thunderstorms the next day w/gusts to 40 mph. The set withstood it with no problem and the kids love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this model several years ago and it has stood up to the elements with no issues. We recently moved cross country and packed it up to go with (our children practically live on this set). The mover unfortunately decided to dismantle the set and subsequently lost some parts. Outstanding job by Lifetime to provide replacement parts at no cost! This is an outstanding company that knows how to treat their customers!

Swingset is very durable and should last longer than a wood set. Only complaint- tower walls were hard to set with braces. We had to take 2 braces off for the walls to be in the correct places. My husband put it together with some help over a 2 week period.- around 10-15 hours.
