Our church bought this playset, with additional swings added to it, over 7 years ago. It has held up wonderfully. The only things that have to be replaced are the actual swings themselves (have gotten approximately 6-7 year lifespan on the individual swings). I would highly recommend this playset, especially for high use areas such as churches, schools, daycares, etc.

We bought this set for the grandchildren 5 years ago and it's still like new. We even moved and brought it with us. I love that it doesn't need sanding, staining, or any maintenance. Even though it gets watered with the lawn, it can handle it and all they weather we get. The kids call our yard the playground. I love that they still enjoy it.

We have had many swingsets over the years. Our last "set" was actually a tree that we added a variety of play elements for the grand kids. We thought it was the ultimate play area for the kids until we had to cut the tree down. We checked out numerous swing sets, from expensive to inexpensive and finally settled on the Lifetime Adventure Set. What turned out to be a couple times a week of playing in the "play tree" turned into DAILY playing on this "adventure" set! The slide, the rock wall, the swings...all seem to beckon the kids (1 to 9). Add some water for the hot Arizona summers and a "blob" at the end of the slide, and our backyard beats the local spray pads. Finally, we had one issue with the set that was quickly and courteously addressed beyond our satisfaction. I am sold on the set and double sold on the company.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our playset is about 8 years old now and it is still pretty solid. We have a few rust spots on the deck ends and the climbing wall support pole, but that can be sanded and repainted. The steering wheel and cargo net are now gone, but I have ordered new ones. Everything else is in great condition. The swings have survived, no cracking or chain problems. About assembly... Definitely a two person job. If you have an allen head for your drill or driver then assembly will fly. If not, then good luck and plan on taking your time. The instructions are pretty straight forward and easy to read.

This playset is very good quality. I have a few concerns about safety. First my grandchild just about fell over the edge onto his head as he slipped at the top of the ladder by the climbing wall. With no protection there to catch him thankfully my daughter was close and caught him . I asked if I could buy a railing like the one beside the slide to put there to prevent a fall but I was told no . 2) the ladder going up to the covered in part is very slippery and wide apart rungs . Another grandchild was climbing up and her boot slipped and she fell straight through hitting her head and nose. Thankfully no teeth . I would like to see solid plastic steps made to replace the railings . Otherwise it is a good product .

My husband and I purchased this swing set for our grandsons’ backyard. Our son and my husband assembled this during one evening and part of the next afternoon. The instruction manual is well written. The looks on our grandsons’ faces when they came home from visiting their cousins and saw their new swing set was priceless!

We've had our playset for almost 9 years and my kids still love it. We are even taking it with us when we move because we really can't live without it! I love that it's sturdy enough for my husband and I to swing with the kids. One of our best purchases!

Pros:Sturdy,Weather Resistant,Attractive Design,Easy Assembly,Durable,Hours of Fun Best Uses:Older Children,Group Play,Small Children,Individual Play Describe Yourself:Parent Of Two Or More Children Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. This swing set is awesome...we live in the desert and I didn't want a wood set that had to be maintained. This is so nice!!! The kids love it, as well as adults. Sturdy enough for dad to swing with his little girls :-)

This is the second play set we have purchased for our 3 girls. The first was a wooden play set and it was literally falling apart after 2 years. We can already tell that the Lifetime Primary play set is MUCH better quality. That, and we can't get our girls off of it!

We bought this for our three young kids and EVERYONE loved it! My husband and I put it together alone. It took a couple days because the only time we had was at night after the kids were in bed. It was so fun to assemble and is sturdy enough for us to play on with the kids!
