We bought this playset about 6 years ago. Its been great for our kids to play on. They have loved climbing and swinging for years. Recently we had a very bad 90 MPH windstorm that picked up the entire playset (which wasn't anchored down) about 10ft in the air and dropped it on top of our trampoline (which was anchored down). After the wind died down the next day, we assessed the damage. To our surprise and relief, the play-set had held together. The sing part of the frame was a bit tweaked, but easily straightened out. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for our new trampoline. Thank you Lifetime for making a very well built and durable product!!! Our kids were very happy that they can still enjoy their play-set. Its now anchored down with 3 cemented tie downs so this doesn't happen again. To anyone looking at buying one, don't hesitate, they will last a "Lifetime".

I bought this at Christmas for my 2-year-old granddaughter. She loves climbing to the top and sliding down. I purchased the basket swing and she likes to be pushed but she prefers the slide. Her school has this exact Adventure Tower on the playground. So it must be sturdy. The neighbor's kid comes over often to enjoy the Adventure Tower.

We have owned out adventure tower playset for over a year now and all of our swings and bolts are rusted. It looks like our set has been sitting outside for 20 years already. If I could go back I wouldn't waste my money. It seems like a nice sturdy set at first, especially for the price we paid. Turns out you just pay for the brand.

After a few weeks of debating this season on whether to go with the standard wood playset, or to lay down a bit more money and go for this one, we decided on this one. We're glad we did, as this piece is solid and obviously high-quality. The low-maintenance aspect of the metal and plastic is great too, as whenever it gets dusty or dirty or some big bird poops on the slide, all it takes is a quick hose-down and it's clean. The assembly was fairly straightforward, but time-consuming. It's still not as bad as the instruction manual made it seem though - it stated it would take 3 people 13 hours to assemble, but it took me 14 hours alone total with a little help here and there from my wife. It also took another 2 hours to properly level the playset and the ground around it (you may or may not have to do this depending on your lawn), and another half hour or so to anchor it with the included kit. You should also factor in the time to make this a safe place to play; because it's so huge a kid could take quite a tumble if they slip off the monkey bars or fall from the deck. Follow the advice in the manual and set up a safety area around it. On our part we bought a wood/pvc mix playground border kit that was almost 6 inches high, set it up around the set, then filled it to the brim with playground wood chips. This beat digging a huge 6-inch deep gouge in our yard, that one day we'd need to fill when our daughter outgrows this and it needs to go.

First of all the set comes in a giant wooden crate, we now need to dispose of. Most of the holes don’t align, so a step that should take 5 minutes can take over an hour. Then there is a step where you need o drill through metal. I don’t have a drill strong enough to do that. We’re Pretty much over building this thing and my poor kids are heartbroken. I don’t know if we got faulty parts or what, but this does not take 8 hours to build. We’ve spent our entire weekend on this and we haven’t even gotten the roof on the tower on. Nightmare!

I bought a swingset a little over a year and my swings rusted. They didn't question me or ask me to pay for shipping back like other companies. They just sent me new ones at no cost! I can't say enough great things about their products or customer service. If there is a lifetime product out there buy it and you won't be unhappy. They truely appreciate and value their customers.

We love this playset but started rusting after a few months. It is two years old now and rust has taken over. Paying a little extra for stainless hardware would have made this a 5 star review. Unlike most playset, this is big enough for older kids, built sturdy, and super fun. A simple fix could give you a good 10 years out of set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this playset last year and it has provided hours of fun for our boys ages 6 and 4! The playset itself is very sturdy and my husband said it wasn't hard to put together! We also love the no maintenance part of this playset! I would definitely recommend this!

I just completed assembling this playset for my four year old and she loves it! it is very study and seems to be made very well. the instructions were easy to follow. one piece was missing and customer service was very courteous and prompt in sending a replacement to me. we are so please with this playset!

[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..
