Slide and ladder are poor design

We bought our playground in 2018 and it only roll our kids going up ladder and down slide one time to see how poor design it was. Clearly, they did not have kids test it. The slide has a bump in middle that causes a very uncomfortable ride down and can’t understand why it is there. Honestly, it is painful to watch my kids go down. Now the ladder is also slanted in a way for kids to easily fall through. Look at others reviews/pictures to see how they had to secure with different material. All they needed was kids to test it before they manufactured this in mass. Little changes could go a long way for this set.

We are sorry you have not had a good experience. All of our playsets meet ASTM safety standards. However, As with any playground equipment, proper precautions should be observed. On-site adult supervision should be provided at all times. To prevent entanglement and strangulation, dress children appropriately, using well-fitting shoes and avoiding ponchos, scarves, jackets with neck drawstrings, and other loose-fitting clothing that is potentially hazardous while using equipment. For further questions or concerns please email us at reviews@lifetime.com

Good solid playset, but could be improved.

Really 4.5 stars, a few suggestions before you tackle this. Pay extra close attention when installing the floor and triple check you have the right orientation. This will be evident by the divots on the floor to attach the slide and climbing rails being in the proper locations. The youtube video is a wonderful resource so be sure to utilize it. I put this set together by myself and it took about 20 hours, however there is a step or two where you absolutely need an extra hand. Also lifetime only provides two ground stakes which is not sufficient. Go ahead and get 6 extra to secure every pole to really make the set secure. These really should be included for the price of this set. Also, if you do not have a battery impact wrench go ahead and get one to build this set. The instructions list that a drill is sufficient but the impact wrench is much better for securing nuts and bolts. In the video they use an impact wrench also.

Outstanding Quality!

The quality of this product is outstanding and our girls 2-8 love it.  The clubhouse is a great size for multiple kids to interact on the top and bottom at the same time.  This set is going to look brand new for years to come - unlike the wood sets that way too many people buy!

Love this playground!

I'm so glad we went with this playset! My older and younger kids have a blast on it. I'm also glad I went with the model that has the trapeze bar and monkey bars! It's a hit! It also is great quality, and low maintenance which is what every busy family needs. I would totally recommend this playset

Wonderful Playset, Built To Last!

The Adventure Tower Playset arrives in 4 boxes. It is built to last. Assembly will require a minimum of 2 people, and plan out at least a weekend to get it all done. Pro-tip: When you start assembly, notice that all the packages of nuts, bolts, and other hardware are labeled for which section of the build they belong to. Once you have completed the assembly, it's time to play! We have had a 3,4, and 10 year old playing so far and everyone loves it! We know that the long assembly process is worth it because this playset is very sturdy and will surely last for years.

Best Customer Service Ever

Kids love the Adventure Tower playset. Purchased it at Sam's Club was missing the a part. Provided model number to Lifetime customer service, missing part shipped no questions asked. We have a wooden playset before this is much better and less parts to assemble. Great Product.... Better yet, Great Customer Service..

Mr

Bought this for my grandson.. It is a very sturdy set and can handle a lot of kids all over it.. I'd say the only issue we could come up with is the wavy slide. It's a fast slide. When the smaller kids hit the bump, it would launch them in the air sometimes coming down past or on the end of the slide.. weee

Heavy Duty Bargain!

Quality is very high. I was able to build it myself in a few days. I had no one to help. Instructions are super clear. If you are not mechanically inclined, you will need to hire someone for assembly. Skill level “Moderate”. It is much bigger than it looks on line. I weigh 250lbs. The swings hold me just fine. This is a lot of set for your money. Be advised, there is a lot of assembly required!!! Follow the instructions!!!

Good product

Took about 30 hours to put it together by myself. I had some issues but nothing that caused me to want to hire someone else to do the job. When I found that I was a few nuts and bolts short to finish the roof (my fault, not their's) I called them and they sent me the extra parts at no charge. Great customer service.

Swings too close together

Just built it yesterday. Seems like it will last very long time. Kids love it. The swings are way too close together. My kids are almost colliding every time. I had to take one of the swings off. You have to swing perfectly straight to not collide and five year olds don’t always do that.
