Incredible!

I noticed this Adventure Tower in the backyard of a neighbor, we are new Grandparents and I was keeping my eyes open to replace the Fort we had for our children. I immediately knew this was just what we were looking for! With numerous options for multiple children to play at the same time, this is the one we purchased. We are VERY happy with the quality of construction, the sturdy workmanship and we are looking forward to many years of watching our Grandchildren enjoy it! We also installed it ourselves and were pleased with the instructions and ALL the parts were there! When our 2 year old Grandson saw it completed for the the first time his eyes popped and he said, "Oh my!" That says it all!

Unique Design

I have had the system in my backyard for about a month and it is a big hit my kids and the kids in the neighborhood. It looks different from any other system out there. I really like the metal and plastic that won't cause splinters and won't rot like wood systems will. Also it is low upkeep (no staining or sanding or anything like that). One small complaint on the two climbing walls is the transition between the wall and the deck. It is a bit of a reach for my 3 year old to grab onto something to get up to the deck. My 5 year old can do it just fine. The kids really like the "fort" underneith and matchbox car city molded into the deck.

Beware of different versions of this product. Kind of disappointed.

I just finished assembly of the adventure tower playset this weekend that I ordered online. For the most part I was excited to get this because it appeared much better quality than the standard cedar ones found in the big box stores. Unfortunately, I got different parts than were shown in product detail pictures and that are shown in the lifetime assembly videos online. 1) Most significantly, the swing bar came in two pieces, vs. the one piece that I was expecting. You can actually see it shift back and forth at the connection when weight is put on the inner vs outer trapeze bar (yes, fasteners are adequately tightened). I can only guess they shortened the bar to make it easier to ship, but this is an unacceptable quality compromise. 2) The roof was a different design (octogon vs round) and I believe much more difficult to assemble than the ones shown in the assembly videos online. Some of the included hardware was just too short. 3) The swing A frame comes in multiple pieces as well. This has more of a force fit than the swing bar so it seems more structurally sound, but it still had a few extra confusing assembly steps. 4) The slide I received came in two pieces, and appears less curvy than what is pictured in the many product pictures out there. The connection seems sound, but I specifically went with this product to avoid multi-piece slides so common in other play sets. Overall, I was excited about this purchase because many people seem happy with this set, but I guess due to cost savings measures they have changed the product for the worse. I find the two piece swing bar especially disappointing given the quality I was expecting.

Plenty of Fun!

My grandson recently had the opportunity to play on this playset at our neighborhood church playground. He is four and was thrilled with all of the activities. He especially like, and wanted, the fort. My son plans to purchase a playset for him soon.

We love everything about it! The shape of the slide is so well designed.

We bought this a while ago and the children can't get enough of it!! We had to add extra runners in the ladder so as the 2 year old could also use it. The children love climbing up the top to watch the kangaroos grazing in the reserve behind us. The only issue we had is the slide holding heat ..... we live in Queensland Australia. ..... but a shade sail has rectified that.

Great customer service

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas in 2016. We noticed that one of the swing hooks was rusted. I emailed customer service, sent them a picture of it and they sent me a new one within a week. No problems at all and quick response. My daughter absolutely loves it!!

Merry Christmas!

We bought this for the grandkids. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it was very well constructed and reasonably easy to assemble... you need two people, but one man can do most of it. Actually did a partial assembly at another location, the tower and swing support sections. Then hualed it in after dark and assembled completely to surprise the grandkids. Yes, we putthis up after dark, only took about three hours for Papa and Dad with mom holding a work light! Well worth the money, and the grandkids were stunned to see it sitting in the yard Christmas morning! Oh weather was unusually warm so we worked in shirt-sleeves to do this.

Great quality and withstands Windstorms

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this playset in our backyard for about 6 months now. My kids love playing on this. It will be nice when my littlest daughter will be able to climb the ladder more skillfully (she is 18 months.) My only complaint so far is that it's not incredibly little kid friendly. Next summer will be a lot better for her to be climbing the ladder and rock wall. The materials seem like they will last for ever. The area we live in can get very windy. We have had a couple really bad windstorms and it didn't even budge which is awesome! A lot of trampolines will fly down the neighborhood causing damage, which is one of the reasons we decided to forgo a trampoline and purchase a swing set.

LOVE IT

Our kids LOVE this playset! It gets played on ALL the time. LIKES... The swings and the plastic coated swing chains. Fun climbing wall. The road for playing with cars on the floor on the tower. Love the visually pleasing general aesthetics of this playset. It looks good in the backyard. DISLIKES... The slide is a little fast. The grass in the circle dyes and the kids don't really go in there. ASSEMBLY... Was tricky, especially the roof. And this is coming from a Mechanical Engineer. Two days to assemble, so if you are not mechanically inclined it would be a good idea to pay to have Lifetime assemble it.

Very good

We bought this a week ago and just set it up. My husband did it in 10 hours or so. The instructions were good for the most part- except where the screw names were off. One thing that made it easy to identify the mislabeled screws is that the screws are organized based on sections being built. So even if they are mislabeled, the image usually matches screws found in the same sections. Couple of holes needed predrilling. But overall not bad as we saved quiet a bit on installation fees and were able to do it ourselves. The only part you need some muscle is the installation of the circular roof. I took out one star for the instructions but other than that is a good product and kids love it. Time will say how well the last.
