The kids love the set, but the ladder is dangerous. The arch is too high and it's hard for them to get their footing. I would never let a child climb up this ladder without adult supervision. We took it off and built our own that is Safe for children. Would not recommend buying this.

I purchased the Adventure Tower Play set six months ago. My grandkids love it. I put it by our pool so they can slide down the slide into the pool. They have a ball with it. We live in Arizona so I installed a mister system on it. It keeps it cool so they can play in the heat of the day. When they are done playing the tower holds their pool toys. I'm so happy I bought this. I would highly recommend this play set. Instructions for assembly were easy to follow. I am a Grandmother...my son and I put it together.

Playset came quickly, installation scheduled quickly. We had issues with the initial installation tech but LifeTime was GREAT at helping us rectify the issues and had everything fixed up for us very quickly. They were professional, extremely responsive and helpful. This set has already provided a TON of fun for kids ages 3-11.

I purchased this swing set for my grandchild. Set up is a little bit tough.. because I forgot to balance my lawn floor. I have missing part . So I e mail to customer service. They responded me second day with confirm shipping info. Thank you ! My grandkids love the swing set!

I received the Lifetime Adventure Tower Playset with Spider Swing in exchange of my honest review. This Lifetime Adenture Tower Playset with Spider Swing is a dream, from the simple assembly, the awesome tower, silly spider swing and sleek design, this playset has it all! The assembly directions are accurate and well planned. The video made some of the more difficult parts easy to understand making this build a breeze. Our favorite parts is the tower with its rock climbing wall and super fun slide. Relaxing on the spider swing is also a great option. Our family loves this addition to our yard and is excited to enjoy it for many years to come.

This is a great playset that we will likely enjoy for a long time. The installation process was long and tedious. I recommend watching the videos even if the written directions seem straightforward. We found that there is information in the videos that is not in the written directions. (such as where the swing bar is located in relation to the other parts while building the tower). There were also 2-3 places where the written directions had mistakes and called for the wrong hardware and caused some frustration, but we were able to figure it out with some logic and the help of the video. My only dislike of this playset is the ladder. The arch and distance between rungs is not safe for younger children. The top of the ladder is especially hazardous as the child is stepping from the ladder to the tower. The gap between the top rung of the ladder and the tower is very large. A child could easily fall right through it if they slipped or misjudged the distance. I realize every activity has inherent risk, but they could easily make the rungs closer together, re-engineer the ladder to be steps, or a variety of other safer options. I'd love to see Lifetime offer an aftermarket addition to the ladder to improve the safety. In general, this ladder is not up to par on quality compared to typical Lifetime products.

I had just assembled a wooden play set from Toys-R-Us and used for less than a year and it was already showing signs of deterioration. I had to move to a new house and I didn't think the wooden set would survive an attempted move. I saw this swing set for roughly the same price and it is made so much better! It looks more like playground quality than the wooden set. In fact, I even swing with my son! I wouldn't even sit on a swing from the wooden set! I assembled this by myself over the course of a few days. It would definitely help to have another person assist, but you can do it alone if need be.

Well, it's up and it's in use. My kids 3-9 love and use every part of it (except we are not using the fire pole). The manual was effective, only a few pieces were not stickered with there letter code to indicate we had the correct part for the next step, which we could easily figure out. There was tons of plastic wrap on everything, but this was important to keeping the coating from scratching off, so necessary. I love that we got this product. My 9 yr old can stand in the center of the tower, however there is lots of ducking to get into the upper and lower zones. The sturdiness is what we wanted and so far we expect it will be for many years...tbd.

We have had this swingset for 2 years now (purchased in May 2014) and the kids love it. A 2 year old needs a little supervision going up the ladder because of the space between the rungs but this year he is almost 3 and gets up with no problem! When you compare the durability of this swingset to a wooden one I think this is a no brainer. My boys will love it for years to come. We also purchased the matching dome climber and would highly recommend that as well.

We bought this for my grandkids and they love it!!! They call it their tree house. They spend hours swinging and sliding. We also bought the kids a lifetime picnic table and they eat on it everyday!!! We love lifetime products they are strong and last without warping. We will always buy lifetime products!!!
