First let me say now that it's FINALLY together it's the best swing set. Now to the awful part. When you buy it, pay someone else to deal with the company's horrible packaging and mistakes. First, the boxes and marked 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. Nothing about a 4th piece which is the slide. So when you buy it, insist you get all pieces. The slide is NOT in the 3 boxes. Now open the boxes and instructions. The instructions say things are marked with letters. It would make life so much easier if they were. Only about 10% were marked and they were the parts that were obvious. My husband who assembles things all time, started struggling through it, but we were following directions to a "t". When we got to part of step 3, we realized we were sent two swing poles instead of 1 swing pole and 3 regular poles. It was a nightmare. It was too late to try and take apart so we ended up drilling holes to make it work. The roof didn't fit right but we finally made a way to make it work. Based on that whole experience I wouldn't recommend anything from Lifetime unless it comes with professional installation. Now that it's together, it's solid and we are happy, but not worth the tears we cried or getting injured over fighting to get things to fit.

The play set itself is spectacular! My husband and I put it together over the weekend and a few nights over the week. It was relatively easy to put together...putting the last bolt on for the end of each step was always really difficult, but in the end manageable! It's REALLY important you look at the instructions WELL before you start each step, because you could easily position things in the wrong spot and have to redo it. My biggest complaint is that when screwing the pieces together, the paint was cracking on the metal...and by next morning I could see rust water running down on the set. I think we will have to buy paint to ensure that that the pieces don't rust further. Overall, we're really happy with the sturdiness of the product. I see many years of enjoyment with this equipment.

We got the whole lifetime playground set up about a month ago and it's been a huge hit with my three children, ages are two, eight and nine and there's something for everyone. The build quality is wonderful and I think the stuff is in last forever. Highly recommend!

We've had the swingset up for a year now. It took 2 guys, 7 hours, to put together. I don't know how anyone can do it alone. It is EXCELLENT quality and super sturdy. Even adults can swing with no problem. I don't notice any rusting, fading or cracking anywhere. My daughter, and all the neighborhood kids, absolutely love playing on the swingset.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids love the Adventure Tower playset. Purchased it at Sam's Club was missing the a part. Provided model number to Lifetime customer service, missing part shipped no questions asked. We have a wooden playset before this is much better and less parts to assemble. Great Product.... Better yet, Great Customer Service..

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Playset came quickly, installation scheduled quickly. We had issues with the initial installation tech but LifeTime was GREAT at helping us rectify the issues and had everything fixed up for us very quickly. They were professional, extremely responsive and helpful. This set has already provided a TON of fun for kids ages 3-11.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been almost a year since i assembled it, so now i can give it 5 stars. it was a full day of work to assemble, with helpers (mostly my wife and 12-year old). the kids have a lot of fun on it. we just dumped 8 bags of play sand under the slide and platform, and the kids love that addition.

I bought this play set thinking metal would endure better than wood! I was sorely mistaken! The whole thing is rusting at all the critical joints making it beyond a safety hazard and the warranty conveniently does not cover rust! I live in Kansas so it isn't even like we are an intensely humid climate or overly rainy. Magnificent waste of money and will NEVER purchase from the company again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this swing set for a little over two years now and my son still loves it just the same! This is a great playset. He loves just hanging out in the top of his "castle". I also love that it is big enough for mom and dad to play on it!

We bought this a few months ago and absolutely loved it. But with Covid19 it has been 10x more fun. I had Lifetime assemble it and was well worth the money. It is extremely sturdy and safe. My only complaint is that I wish the the slide had a bit more of a gentle ending. It tends to launch 2 year old off the bottom so we have to catch her everytime.
