We purchased this for our church and the kids are absolutely loving it. Not too big for a small playground and not too small for all ages to enjoy. We substituted the trapeze bar for a bucket baby swing (purchased through a local hardware store); and added foam padding to the horizontal support bars in the tower (preventing bumped heads at the slide and ladder entrance). My suggestion is to have patience when putting this together. Lay out all of the pieces in consecutive order and follow the directions exactly. It will take a couple of days.

We have had this swingset for 2 years now (purchased in May 2014) and the kids love it. A 2 year old needs a little supervision going up the ladder because of the space between the rungs but this year he is almost 3 and gets up with no problem! When you compare the durability of this swingset to a wooden one I think this is a no brainer. My boys will love it for years to come. We also purchased the matching dome climber and would highly recommend that as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this playset in our backyard for about 6 months now. My kids love playing on this. It will be nice when my littlest daughter will be able to climb the ladder more skillfully (she is 18 months.) My only complaint so far is that it's not incredibly little kid friendly. Next summer will be a lot better for her to be climbing the ladder and rock wall. The materials seem like they will last for ever. The area we live in can get very windy. We have had a couple really bad windstorms and it didn't even budge which is awesome! A lot of trampolines will fly down the neighborhood causing damage, which is one of the reasons we decided to forgo a trampoline and purchase a swing set.

I purchased the Adventure Tower Play set six months ago. My grandkids love it. I put it by our pool so they can slide down the slide into the pool. They have a ball with it. We live in Arizona so I installed a mister system on it. It keeps it cool so they can play in the heat of the day. When they are done playing the tower holds their pool toys. I'm so happy I bought this. I would highly recommend this play set. Instructions for assembly were easy to follow. I am a Grandmother...my son and I put it together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this back in May of 2016 for my growing and very active son. It has been a great source for play, imagination, fun with friends, and hours in the tower. I loved that it wasn't wood and it would withstand the elements without worrying about decay and someone getting hurt. I got a supplemental third swing and attached it where the rings are and it works great when we have multiple kids playing. Totally worth the money and the time to put it together. It is definitely a task to put together but with some organization and a few strong people it's doable.

We purchased this Playset over 10 years ago and as foster parents we have had countless amounts of foster children who've enjoyed playing on it. We still have children mention this playground when we run into them out in our community. As a retired police officer and mother I enjoy bringing smiles to the children who came to us with no smiles when they arrived. The only downfall is I wished we could extend this set to add more to it but I haven't seen that as a possibility yet. We were thinking how nice it would be to be able to add the monkey bars and possibly two extra swings. We even thought about a Ninja warrior course because more than probably 100 times our children have us time them as the rush through ever single part of the tower and it's options. It is a super fun experience that we can have in our backyard 😀 thank you Lifetime and if you ever open up the idea to allow owners the options to do add-ons please let us know. Many foster children would enjoy such things. Thank you.

Suggestions (not to discourage but to share my thoughts): 1) Make sure you personally check every screw and bolt. Though I had paid installers from the company and tipped well and had a close relationship during the 2 days the three guys assembled, and even though I asked multiple times if they tightened after I found that the climbing parts were loose and had them tighten, the next day when I went to apply a sealant rust inhibitor to each bolt and screw, I discovered, and had to tighten, maybe 20 of the loose bolts and screws and am waiting for missing bolts. Note that many require two persons to tighten; 2) The slide should have a cover as it is unusable during daylight due to becoming hot. There are some third-party covers sold but Lifetime should make them available, at least as an option; 3) I bough a separate baby seat swing. Lifetime should make them available as an alternative to one of the seats; 4) the chalkboard may not really be a chalkboard; 5) the ladder is dangerously slippery and the spread is too great between the rungs. Lifetime should make them with a middle pole, smaller gaps, or provide, at least as an option, a webbing attachment (similar to one in a commentators' photograph); and, 6) would be nice to have more options (you know, telescope, blinds to keep sun out, solar light, etc. that would fit as most third party accessories are for wood swing sets). I also put rubber edging and tons or rubber mulch (the combination costing more than the swing set). Would be nice for lifetime to make them available as options so that they can be shipped with the swing set and installed by the assemblers. Hope that the rust issue has been corrected in current models as we expect a full 10 years of use.

The kids love the set, but the ladder is dangerous. The arch is too high and it's hard for them to get their footing. I would never let a child climb up this ladder without adult supervision. We took it off and built our own that is Safe for children. Would not recommend buying this.

I have had this since last summer and it has been great. Assembly took several hours, but most of it could be done with one person. I took it an hour or two at a time at night over the space of about a week, and only needed help with a couple items. I had all the parts and hardware I needed, with exact counts up until the final steps, where I found spare parts. Everything is well built, and mostly modular. It looks like I could rearrange the panels on the tower and slide and ladder placement without a problem. One small note, the red climbing holds (or rocks) have faded, one in direct sunlight, one on the shady side. All others are holding their color fine.

We bought this product with a few hesitations and we were proved wrong! Our first concern was if it was going to be hard to climb up the green metal ladder for our 3yr old son and 2yr old newphew. They both can climb it great and have yet to have a fall! Second I feared they would be bored with it. I was wrong again! I was super surprised just how much they have enjoyed the little car tracks on top the platform. They take their cars out their and play for literally hours. My 6yr old girl loves it and I thought she was the one who would be easily bored with it. I have been super happy with the shade the top provides because we have no trees in our yard and thankfully it keeps them and the platform cool and out of the sun! My only complaint is the slide can get pretty hot in the summer sun! My kids like to use their water toys to water it down and go down in their swimsuits, but again it does get very hot as a caution! All in all we have been very very happy with the quailty and the fun it provides!
