Play set

It’s sturdy and fairly easy to put together. I did it by myself, a few hours a day, over a week. Kids love it. Some rusting here and there, but I’m pretty sure it will hold up for years to come. Kids love it. Customer service top notch. Missing few screws but they delivered quickly and friendly. A+++

Great investment

Was fun and fairly easy to put together. It was my 17 year old daughter and myself who did most of the work with some help from my 11 & 4 year old daughters as well. My wife and myself can both be swinging at the same time with very little movement. Great investment.

The best of the best!

The Lifetime Adventure Tower with Monkey Bars is durable, made of quality parts, and is plenty large enough to last a long time for our two kids who are currently 6 & 8. They have been playing on it non-stop since we set it up. The set up took my husband and I far less time than we were anticipating. It only took us one full day plus 1 hour the following day. And we took our time. It's a fantastic, solid structure. We couldn't be happier with this product! It truly is made to be the best of the best!

Great set! Time consuming to assemble.

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.

Okay

So far it’s okay. The delivery was by far the most frustrating part. I wish for the price it had a little more complexity in the design as far as more play spaces or things to do.

manufacturer defects but simple enough to assemble

I love this set, and it was definitely easy to build with just my husband and me. However, some manufacturer defects in the bars' holes require some significant brute force, but it's held up well for my neighbor for the past several years, and so far, it has held up for us.

Awesome playset but needs better instructions

My kiddos love this swing set! The only downside was putting it together. Everything can only go together one specific way and you'll basically get nearly finished and realize that one of the earlier steps was off and you'll have to take it all apart and start all over! So the directions could be more clear about that. But, after it is finished...its awesome!

We're sorry to hear that your playset is rusting. This shouldn't be happening, especially since the the steel used to build our playsets are made with a weather resistant powder-coated finish that protects from cracking, warping, rot or splinters. It is made to be rust-resistant. However, we recommend using a rust treatment for extra protection a couple times a year, especially if you live in a high humidity climate. Try reaching out to our customer service experts. They can be contacted through Live Chat on our website (lifetime.com) Monday-Friday, or over the phone Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at (800) 225-3865. They can also be reached by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm (MT). *DC

NOT SAFE FOR 3 YR OLDS!

I bought this for children at my daycare the age requirements show 3-12 yrs old. This is a true hazard for young children as there is 3 large openings for a 5' fall should they get too close to the edge on top. The design is NOT for younger children. The state will not allow this structure in the playground!

Thank you for your feedback. Safety is very important to us, and we’d like to clarify. This playset is tested to the ASTM F1148 Consumer Safety Performance Specification for Home Playground Equipment. It has been tested both internally and by an independent third-party facility and passed all requirements of the standard. ASTM F1148 applies to residential playground equipment and certain in‑home child‑care settings with limited numbers of children, but it explicitly does not apply to equipment used in public assembly settings, including licensed daycares. While the ASTM age range is 18 months to 10 years, this product is tested to 12‑year‑old weight limits and is intended for supervised residential use. We understand that state and licensed daycare regulations differ, and this playset is not designed or certified for licensed daycare or public playground use. Please feel free to contact us directly if you’d like to discuss this further. We can be reached at reviews@lifetime.com.

Cool but dangerously fast slide

Seriously sad to write this. We waited over a month for delivery and were so excited but building this was a nightmare. Nothing seemed to line up holes wise, then a ton of holes don't exist? You're supposed to drill them out with the screws which took forever. Now that it's put together it's great except the slide is faster than a nascar racetrack. My grandsons go flying down so fast they skid across the ground so getting some padding to put under. :(
