Just finished setting this up. It arrives in a large open style crate so be sure you have a spot for it. Setting up was a little time consuming, but not bad, hardest part is putting on the roof. You need two, ideally 3 people for this part. Love how sturdy it feels, and plan on getting some clear rustoleum for areas where screws rub the coating. My biggest complaint are the screws/hardware. A few became cross threaded and broke despite our efforts to align them perfectly. This was frustrating because they only provide the exact amount needed. So we had to pause the project and order more....not good when you have anxious kids with a half built swingset they can't play on.

We bought this nearly three years ago. It looked intimidating to put together at first, but the instructions are well written. We love that it's built out of metal and that we don't have to add a coat of stain/sealant to it every year. The slide can get a little hot in the sun, and I wish that the slide had a higher weight capacity rating to it. Fair warning - dads, don't try to go down the slide with your two year old. Customer service is excellent to work with.

Santa brought this gift to our home last Christmas. Eagerly our girls waited until the snow melted and we finally set it up. It took a long afternoon to setup the play set and the geo dome but it was so worth the wait! The girls have spent hours swinging, playing pirate ship, water slide, jungle animal and so much more! It is very durable and the earth tone color looks great in the backyard. We went to the Draper and North Salt Lake store and both were friendly and easy to work with.

We just completed installation of the playset. A few parts (a few bolts and nuts and two metal links) were missing. Sent an email to customer service overnight and followed up with a phone call the next day. They couldn't have been more responsive. The parts were delivered before noon the following day! The product is very solid and stable even with a good-sized 6th-grader swinging as high as he could. Our four-year old child with Down's Syndrome is already able to swing, climb onto the elevated platform by stair and rope ladder, and use the slide unassisted. Can't keep her off it. :-)

We have had this play set for 6 months and it has been great. I assembled it myself and while it took two evenings, it wasn't too complex. This thing is sturdy. I'm a big guy and I have climbed on the platform, used the slide and the swings and they have all held up. Even with adults on the swings, the A-frame never rocks off the ground. Our yard is not large, so the smaller footprint of this set was attractive. Even with the smaller size, there are many activities from the propeller swing and baby bucket swing that we added to the larger swings, playhouse and rock wall that older kids like. I would definitely recommend it.

We have had this playset for several years and it still looks brand new. We have 9 Grandchildren and they love playing on this while visiting Grandma and Grandpa. We also have several other Lifetime products that are all holding up GREAT and still look new. Great investment and Love, love, love these products!!!

Such a great company to deal with!! Helpful, considerate, humane. We absolutely cannot wait and are SO excited to receive our playset and have our kids enjoy years of fun. Will send an additional review with pictures after receipt of our playset. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lifetime!!

Bought this set two years ago and it’s started rusting and now there are actual holes on supporting rails from the rust! Absolutely disappointing! Contacted customer service and they say it’s” due to the weather “. It’s been only two years! No warranty for wasting 2k on a product that should at least last 5-7 years if not longer!

I've had the Lifetime Big Adventure playset for almost 4 years. On moving the unit some of the hardware stripped the heads during disassembly. Customer service responded to an email requesting replacement parts without hesitation and without cost to me. It was nice to be surprised by how easy they made it to get my set back together and functioning after a move. The set itself has been outstanding for my kid and stands out when compared to other standard wooden sets. Great product, great service hands down!

My wife and I just finished assembling this swing set in four half days. Our grandchildren were wowed by the result. The instructions were very well written with adequate warnings when specific part orientation would affect a future assembly step. The parts arrived absolutely unscratched. bent or dented ... the result of careful packaging! The only suggestion for improvement I would make would be to replace the size 2 Phillips head slot screws for the climbing wall and roof attachment with screws having a size 3 Phillips head slot. It was difficult to apply the necessary torque with the smaller slot.
