Our Lifetime playground set has withstood many a storm and 8 years later looks great and has lasted through our 5 children playing on it most days. However, our neighbor's trampoline flew into it during a recent severe storm and we needed to replace a section of roof along with a bar. They provided us the parts at a great, low cost and made sure to include extra hardware. They were extremely helpful and polite, as well.

Bought 90042 swingset for grandkids in 2013. It's their favorite toy and the Lifetime quality is excellent. This product and this company customer service is as good as it gets. After 6 years of frequent use still in excellent condition. Have replaced the climbing net due to sun deterioration of rope. Replacing the footpads which we damaged moving the set. Damage was our fault, but company replaced free. We have also bought Lifetime plastic tables. This company makes excellent products that last and last.

This swingset is really solid and seems extremely well made. If you have never put anything large together with lots of parts i don’t recommend starting with this. This thing will last as long as our son wants to play on it. I m happy with our purchase.

This took us three days to put together and was not super fun, though instructions were reasonably clear in most cases. But now that it is together, we have zero regrets splurging on the best one. This thing is RAD. Kids, 4 and 6, play all day on it! Sturdy, no creaking or problems.

We bought this set for our grand children and they spend their entire days using it as swing, slide, make up boat, make up airplane, house and you name it. the set can be used at any age, from toddler to teens and older. We like the accessories like the small picnic table is also used ++. In addition, the company has been super helpful when we needed a part after several years and they provided free of charge!! Highly recommended. A+++

It’s a great swingset my children (4) and (2) absolutely adore. The red wall piece on the play house was not very heavily attached and broke off repeatedly. My husband had to go get really long screws that kind of stick out like a sore thumb with the rest of the set but it has secured it from flopping in the wind thus far. That is my only complaint. I demanded that they have a slide, swings, and monkey bars. This is one of the only ones that offers all three and doesn’t need the maintenance that wood requires.

We purchased the swing for our children for Christmas this year. My husband and I assemble the swing set in one day. The instructions were fairly easy to follow. We did have to go back a couple times take a few pieces off and redo a couple things. The only thing I’m a little disappointed in is the steps going up to the Playhouse. There is only 4 thin metal rods going across for steps. For little kids or in wet rainy weather I can see this might be a hazard. Other than that the swingset is very sturdy and very beautiful I believe our children will have a swingset for many years to come.

Excellent play set. My 4 year old and almost 2 year old love it and play everyday. The slide is a bit steep for small children and the climbing a little dangerous for small, but it is not intended for use by that age. I do wish the telescope could be moved do different locations on the set. It must be installed in only one spot and for us that is directly pointed at the backyard of undesirable neighbors. Flexibility in where it is attached would be nice. Installation took 8 hours - my huband worked along for 5 and had one man help him for 3. Directions were easy to follow. The spider swing is a great bonus and can hold mulitple kids at a time (3-4 depending on size).

This swing set is great and looks amazing. The issues we had, were none of the parts were labeled. This took additional time in finding the right piece, as well as having to go back and fix where we grabbed an identical piece. I do wish it had anchors for the feet. My son and I were both swinging high and we had to stop because it was starting to come off the ground. With 2 of us it took about 4-5 hours, with breaks.

Let's start with the good news. The entire swing set is sturdy, long lasting and of very good quality. Now the bed news. The item labeling and directions leave much to be desired. If labeling and illustrations were better, installation would have taken 33% less time. There are many instances where we put a section or item together, only to find out later that a leg needed to be rotated differently or or a cross-member needed to be turned over. This activity forced a few disassembly / correction sessions before continuing. SUGGESTION - it takes two people with decent technical skills to assemble this swing set.
