We (finally) got this put together after about two days with 3 and sometimes 4 people working on it. The instructions are pathetic. The product is as cute as can be and the kids love it. I would recommend this if you have a lot of patience and are prepared to take apart what you put together in the last step, in two steps forward.

Great product! Really solid and easy to put together. Great instructions and they even have videos to watch if you need it. Didn't have any problems with holes lining up. Put together myself over span of two days with a little assistance from the wife when connecting the swings to the tower.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lifetime makes fantastic products all the way around! This is our second jungle gym we've bought from them. The first was in the backyard of our first home and I had every intention on taking it with us when we moved, but the buyers wanted it to stay with the house. We bought this set for our new home and it is just as wonderful. Get help when putting it together though!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This playset is a hit! My kids love everything about it. We had a BBQ and my teenage son and 3 men put it together in an evening. I was amazed they assembled it so quickly. I think my kids would live in it if they could!

Really nice, solid playset. My three-year-old was ecstatic to see it and can't get enough of it. We've had it up for 10 weeks and so far we haven't noticed any rust or problems. The swings are especially smooth and quiet. It arrived in a giant crate, earlier than expected. All of the required parts and hardware were present and in good shape. The only tools I think I used were a socket wrench and a drill. Big thing to know; it is time consuming and a little painful to assemble. The instructions are 70 or 80 pages long. I think I spent close to 20 hours on it (I understand that is still probably less effort than needed to assemble a wooden set). But, I was working mostly alone. Also, try hard to resist over tightening the bolts. I wanted to make it really snug and tight. But, sometimes the pipes would bend slightly out of round. I called Lifetime on the phone before I purchased and got good advice on which set would suit my needs and some technical specifics that weren't on the website. Plus, I was given a 10% military discount. Two thumbs up on the purchase experience so far.

I bought this because of all of the features included, the durability of other Lifetime products we own, and because it looks like a quality set that my kids will enjoy for years to come. I only rated 4 stars because we were missing a part (not essential to structural integrity). Customer service has been amazing, though, on initially communicating a production delay, then on assisting us with delivery issues, and finally on getting us the replacements for the missing parts. It took about 10 hours for my husband and I to put together. The kids couldn't wait to get on it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great playset and good quality, the kids love it. It took awhile to get and although the parts were all there, some of them were marked incorrectly causing a few more headaches then were necessary. We did get it together in about 8 hours with 2 people. Definitely worth the wait. Also looks great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids absolutely love this swing set, quality materials. The anchor system i feel should be sturdier. We used the two cable anchors sent to anchor down the monkey bars, and anchored the tower down inside with 4 fence post tied down, the play set survived 70+ MPH wind with no shifting or damage!

Very sturdy and kids are having a blast. We watched the Lifetime YouTube assembly video and it helped speed up the process. It took two people around 7 hours. The paint cracked when attaching the railings so we sprayed rust inhibitor on those places to avoid issues down the road. We've had multiple compliments from neighbors on the design.

This will definitely not last a lifetime, extremely thin tubing and a disappointing two piece main support for the swings, rock wall will be the first thing to fail as it is super thin plastic with a washer backing. Overall just expected more for the money.
