Park in our backyard!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had ours installed a month ago and we couldn't be happier. That's all our two daughters want to do when they're home - play on the playset! It is extremely sturdy - even an adult can swing on it. It is flexible, too. For instance, we added a baby bucket swing and have that up more than the swinging bar, but when our girls want the swinging bar, it's a snap to switch it out. They love the tower as well. It is their new clubhouse and sit in their camp chairs and do their homework in it. We even got cars for them to play with the "road map" on top of the tower. They look forward to sleeping on top of the tower this summer. I would definitely recommend this playset to anyone.

After assembled 5 stars

I looked high and low for a playset that fit my tallest granddaughter. I am the type that has to see the product to be able to know if it fits what I am looking for. Pictures online etc can be very deceiving. I walked into my local Sam's club and found this in display. I instantly knew this was the set for my granddaughters. I wasn't paying the high delivery or assembly charge. So I rented a uhaul and picked it up myself. Over a weeks time, ny husband whom is a trucker, myself and some friends tackled the assembly of this set. The instructions are very vague. The metal is heavy, so at some points like attaching the swing bar to the playhouse we needed an total of three adults which we didn't have. Certain assembly steps in my opinion were out of sequence. There were many things I felt could have been assembled before( like the roof after the leg assembly, as it was a four man job once standing straight up). I could list a few more but you get the idea. This is why I gave it 4 stars. After we got it built, the kids loved it and it's super cool, thus I give the completed playset 5 stars. Just be prepared for what's ahead if there's only two of you trying to assemble this thing. I have build many things and I am so thankful it's finely done a week after starting the assembly.

Best climber for the money!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this climber a little over a year ago and love it so much! My boys love the car tracks built in and the rock wall. We swapped the swing with the trapeze bar to allow for a drive thru store:)

Slide and ladder are poor design

We bought our playground in 2018 and it only roll our kids going up ladder and down slide one time to see how poor design it was. Clearly, they did not have kids test it. The slide has a bump in middle that causes a very uncomfortable ride down and can't understand why it is there. Honestly, it is painful to watch my kids go down. Now the ladder is also slanted in a way for kids to easily fall through. Look at others reviews/pictures to see how they had to secure with different material. All they needed was kids to test it before they manufactured this in mass. Little changes could go a long way for this set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this playset! My 2 year old learned right away how to climb the ladder! Only gripe is with the hanging swing bar... it immediately got like water in it somehow and is leaking an orange rust thing..

Sturdy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

The perfect playset tthat will be around for many years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the playset for our 5 year old granddaughter 12 days ago. My husband and son assembled it over the course of roughly 13 hours. It was well worth their time as once our granddaughter saw it, she was thrilled! She absolutely loves that there are two swings so someone else can swing with her. The play tower is a huge hit with her too! With her imagination the tower may one day be a castle and the next day a library when she can spend hours looking at books. The first time she went down the slide, she ended up on all fours so parents be aware and alert your children to be extra careful until they get the grasp of going down the slide. When searching for a playset, my husband, son and I all knew we didn't want a wooden one because of the ongoing maintenance required and risk of splinters. Our 5 year old granddaughter even told us she didn't want a wooden playset because she gets splinters when playing on them. As soon as we found the Lifetime Adventure Tower Playset, we knew our searching was over as we had found the perfect playset! This playset is going to be around for many years. Well worth the money!

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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Rust within 2 weeks

We are extremely disappointed that our playlet is already rusting. Water seeps in between the areas where metal is attached to metal and is impossible to dry out. This is after we covered all metal pieces with rust prevention spray during assembly. We chose this playset because it was supposed to be less maintenance than wood but that was a huge mistake. Of course the Lifetime website does not allow you to add photos or else I could show you the numerous spots and joints this thing is already rusting. I can only hope someone from Lifetime will reach out ASAP and try to make this right.

Looking at your photos, some of that is just dirty water draining out from the powder coating process. If you take some warm water and dish soap, it should wipe right off. However, that DXO does look like it cracked. We would be happy to send you a replacement. Reach out to us at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com.
