Pros:Durable,Weather Resistant,Sturdy,Attractive Design Best Uses:Small Children,Group Play,Physical Activity,Older Children,Individual Play Describe Yourself:Grandparent Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. We wanted a nice swing set for our two year old granddaughter that she could grow into,wanted the fort, rope ladder, the whole bit, that would last as long as she needed it, as well as for future children. My son didn't want the upkeep of wood, and my husband didn't think the wood ones were worth the money they charge for a good strong one. My husband and sons are tradesman - plumber, HVAC tech, mechanic - so assembly was not difficult. Took about 6 hours total, finished under spotlight at 10:30 pm. They just followed the directions step by step. My granddaughter just loves it, loves to swing, also loves the helicopter. We're sure she will get many years out of it.

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!

Had this playset for 3 years before we had to move. Held up great. While our neighbor's wooden playset built at the same time was falling apart, ours looked like it was still new. Takes some effort and time to put together. Make sure though you know you'll want to keep it for a long time because it will take some effort to take it down as well.

We bought 2 play centres And when it is 70Foutside at 9:30 am the slides were not usable. The surface temputure on the slide read 129F. That is boiling water. When I phoned, the response was ...do not use ! Duh. The slides should not be in the sun...where outside would you put slides? The photo on websites are outside pictures. Why would slides get that hot?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this swing set on a holiday sale, but weren’t able to put it together for several months after. When we opened it to assemble, we had the wrong swing set. The employees were very helpful in helping us find out purchase even though we didn’t have a receipt. It took a lot of extra work but they were willing to do it to get us the correct set. I appreciate a company with integrity. My kids love the new playset!

The swings are so nice, strong. I don't worry that it's going to tip, but when I swing, or sometimes even my five year old boy, one of the legs jumps up a little. I love all the features of the tower. There's a lot of little details that are awesome, like chalkboard, stars on the ceiling, steering wheel, spyglass. Slide is strong. Set up is a killer! It takes a lot of time, and some of the screws would not screw in well and were hard to connect. Some sections definitely require two people. Overall, my boys love it. It's a favorite. They spend lots of time outside with their imaginations, and that's what I wanted.

We've had the A-Frame playset for a couple of months. The grand kids love it. I swing with them and love it too. It's very sturdy and will last a "lifetime" for sure. I just ordered the anchors, and a bucket swing to go with it. I do with there was an "addition" you could purchase for the end so I could have more swings.

We bought this playset almost 5 years. It has seen lots of play time but has rusted out. the rings, swings, lots of the joints and today the kids (6 yrs old, maybe 50lbs) were climbing up the stairs to the play house and the top stair broke! i just thought it would wear better in the FL weather

We were looking for a playset that would last through all four of our kids. We live in the dry hot desert of California and nothing lasts long in the sun. Wood doesn't last long and cheep plastic breaks apart very quickly. This double slide deluxe had everything we were looking for. Another feature we were looking for was something that could be moved around if needed. This playset is heavy enough we didn't need to cement it down and all the kids can swing on it with out the fear of it toppling over. It has been a great addition to our back yard. We look forward to havinging this for a very long time.

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.
