We bought this for Christmas 2018. The guy at the store was kind enough to tell me that sometimes people have problems with the assembly because they put the leg pieces in the wrong order. He said the instructions are the way to go, and they worked just fine for me. It took me an hour or two for 3 nights after the kids had gone to bed, and my wife helped me stand it up and we were good to go. It's strong enough for my 200 lbs to swing on. I had to be careful not to overtighten the bolts. The metal will bend with too much force. That's common sense, but I did push it a little too far on one bolt toward the beginning, not realizing that it was binding up the hinge because it was too tight. The circular poles also start to lose their shape if you get it too tight, so that's something to watch for. Despite my inadequacy, the swingset is strong and high quality. Definitely recommend.

This isn't as sturdy as I thought it would be, definitely moves even when my 80 pound child is on it, but doesn't move enough to be at risk. The kids love the height of it. It was pretty easy to put together - anchoring is the most difficult part. Overall we are very pleased with the purchase

The quality and sturdiness of this swing set is unbelievable. It was fairly easy to put together. It took my husband and myself 1.5 or so hours. Overall great product for the money! We are completely satisfied our purchase. Would absolutely but from lifetime in the future.

This swing set arrived promptly in two long narrow boxes. It took a couple hours to put together. The instructions were clear and it was not complicated to put together, but some steps did require two people and some steps did require some physical strength. This swing set is heavier than a typical “little kid” swingset, so it does not come with anchors. This is ok when my 6 year old swings alone but when the 6 and 8 year old swing together the posts do sometimes lift off the ground and “bump”, this is the only downside that I’ve seen so far. Overall, the kids love this swing set.

I bought this for my twins' fifth birthday. This is the third swingset we've bought. The previous two were flimsy, cheap and rusted quickly. This set is sturdy, sharp looking and clearly going to stand the test of time. I was even more impressed when during assembly, my 5 year old THREW one of the screws across the yard. After hours of searching for it, I looked at lifetime's website. No questions asked, a new set of screws was shipped immediately at an no cost to me. I couldn't have asked for a better product or customer service. Very happy.

Large yet unobtrusive, the taupe and green colors blend nicely into the natural environment of our small backyard. We loved that this set did not require concrete footings—my husband didn’t believe it could be true, but we set the swing set up without them and it is sturdy and stable. Our girls are thrilled.

It’s only been up a week so I’ll update this review if we have any issues. It’s a Good sturdy set I’m praying we never have rust issues. An adult can swing on this & it doesn’t budge. It is a nightmare to put together. It took 4 of us several hours & some of the pieces it’s very hard to get it lined up just right especially once you have half of it together just because it’s so large. All in all I’m happy with the set & how sturdy it seems. We did bury the feet for extra stability & because it’s incredibly tall once it’s built but I like knowing I don’t have to worry about the kids outgrowing it.

Great swingset! We had our previous one for almost 10 years in a very wet humid region. When it broke we bought the exact same one again, and it is great! Totally worth the money because it’s taller it’s better for older kids and is more fun. Great quality, durable thick metal.

This swing set arrived in less than a week from ordering. It was well packed and all parts were clearly labeled. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I love the subtle colors that fit nicely into our natural landscape. My 10 year old grandson helped put it together. His 7 year old sister loves to swing, and he is enjoying the monkey bar!

I bought two 10-foot swing sets eight years ago; one for the parents household and one for the grandparents household. This swing set is absolutely great! My granddauaghter has had many, many hours of enjoyment swinging and singing! When I have had to contact the company for replacement seats, they complied immediately and sent seats at no charge. When they say lifetime guarantee, they mean it! If I could give more than five stars, I would do so!!
