After numerous cheap metal swing sets and then wooden set that did not last five years I stopped being cheap and got this set for my three kids. I put it together by myself 5 hours the first day and another five hours the second day. It took some ingenuity. I had a friend help me lift the roof up onto the top and thats it. Kids love it. Money well spent.

First let me say now that it's FINALLY together it's the best swing set. Now to the awful part. When you buy it, pay someone else to deal with the company's horrible packaging and mistakes. First, the boxes and marked 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3. Nothing about a 4th piece which is the slide. So when you buy it, insist you get all pieces. The slide is NOT in the 3 boxes. Now open the boxes and instructions. The instructions say things are marked with letters. It would make life so much easier if they were. Only about 10% were marked and they were the parts that were obvious. My husband who assembles things all time, started struggling through it, but we were following directions to a "t". When we got to part of step 3, we realized we were sent two swing poles instead of 1 swing pole and 3 regular poles. It was a nightmare. It was too late to try and take apart so we ended up drilling holes to make it work. The roof didn't fit right but we finally made a way to make it work. Based on that whole experience I wouldn't recommend anything from Lifetime unless it comes with professional installation. Now that it's together, it's solid and we are happy, but not worth the tears we cried or getting injured over fighting to get things to fit.

I purchased this play set intending for it to last a while with the claims not to crack or rot, etc. it has rusted all over and the supports holding the platform are nearly rusted through making it unsafe. I’m very disappointed that this only lasted a few years.

After my Grandchildren"s play set was damaged from Hurricane Irma winds I called to get replacement parts. Cameron at customer service got me the manual to identified the parts and sent it by email. After identifying the parts i required Cameron got me a quote and delivery time for the parts. The whole process was seamless and he promptly placed my order with a e mail confirmation. Great Customer Service!!!!

The attention to detail as well as the packaging is impressive. The instruction manual doesn't skip anything or create confusion at any step of the way (Read every line and warning, don't skip any steps). It is very detailed and organized to keep you moving forward. This project took my Wife and myself a total of 7 hours to complete in one day. There were no blemishes or missing pieces upon delivery. The only advice I have is to invest in a 3/16 Allen ratchet to speed up the process. We are very impressed and happy with our investment as this piece will last for quite some time.

I had just assembled a wooden play set from Toys-R-Us and used for less than a year and it was already showing signs of deterioration. I had to move to a new house and I didn't think the wooden set would survive an attempted move. I saw this swing set for roughly the same price and it is made so much better! It looks more like playground quality than the wooden set. In fact, I even swing with my son! I wouldn't even sit on a swing from the wooden set! I assembled this by myself over the course of a few days. It would definitely help to have another person assist, but you can do it alone if need be.

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

Let me start off by first saying my kids LOVE this playset. It’s better than we expected and they enjoy playing outside now more than ever. The shipment came on a pallet in 4 separate boxes which makes it easier for unloading and moving to the location you want it. Assembly does take a decent amount of time but the directions are easy to follow and you will have it up and ready in no time. If you’re a visual learner download the BILT app, search for the product on the app and you can follow along step by step with easy prompts and visuals. That is how we assembled it. Be advised you will need someone to help you at certain times during the build process. An added bonus that you can’t really see in the pictures is the integrated car map at the top of the platform. My kids love sitting up there to just hangout and bring their cars and toys up there with them. This playset is great for a large age range. My kids love everything about it from the slide to the swings and the rock climbing wall. It’s very well made and will last my kids many years of fun and entertainment. If you’re looking for a backyard playset I would highly recommend this one.

We bought this for my grandkids and they love it!!! They call it their tree house. They spend hours swinging and sliding. We also bought the kids a lifetime picnic table and they eat on it everyday!!! We love lifetime products they are strong and last without warping. We will always buy lifetime products!!!

We bought this Play set this past spring. I was looking for a playset that would not give my kids slivers and would have as little maintenance as possible. And yet is great quality. This is perfect! We love it! It doesn't get hot in the sun and burn my kids. And the warranty is awesome too.
