We purchased this when we moved into our current home in December of 2018. We live in the arid dry desert of west Texas but, like a lot of people, we have a sprinkler system in our yard. This playground started to rust within days of it being assembled, and now it is so corroded it is unsafe to play on. Weld seams have rusted through and broke off of the frame, screws have pulled out of rusted steel, the mounting holes for the ladder have disintegrated. The coating system on the metal is too thin, and all the contact from dissimilar metals has caused massive galvanic corrosion issues. Lifetime apparently means you get 2 years out of it if it ever gets wet. I would hate to see one that is used in a humid area where it rains.

Playset came quickly, installation scheduled quickly. We had issues with the initial installation tech but LifeTime was GREAT at helping us rectify the issues and had everything fixed up for us very quickly. They were professional, extremely responsive and helpful. This set has already provided a TON of fun for kids ages 3-11.

The Good: Instructions are excellent. Construction seems very solid. Kids from 4 to 12 seem to have a great time playing on it. The BAD: I bought this playset for my 4 year old. She abosolutely loves it! Unfortunately there is no real safe way for her to get onto the landing to go down the slide or play with the steering wheel. The spacing of the grips on the rock walls and location of the grab bars at the top is too far apart for someone 3 foot 6 inches tall. The ladder arcs over and is horizontal right at the top. The spacing of the rungs and grab bars is such that she can fall thru very easily. To get to the platform she has to put herself in a very akward position basically pulling her knee to her chin to reach the last rung without hitting her head on the rail around the landing. If the ladder was more of a regular ladder, or the rungs were closer together, I'd give it 5 stars. I would not recommend for kids under 5.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ordered this for our grandchildren and are so excited to install and surprise them. We did a lot of research before buying and this product is so highly recommended. OI know they are going to love it.

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.

Don't be fooled by the Lifetime brand it does NOT last. After 5 years the entire play set has rusted and falling apart. They charge a premium and one would think you'd get more than 5 years out of it. I'd give this less than one start if it was possible.

We purchase two months ago - fun for 1 of 2 of our grand kids. Younger child fell thru top rung of the curved ladder onto the ground - he will not climb up yet. Poor design on the ladder. No help from the company representative to modify or offer suggestions for ladder improvement.

This playground has been a life saver! With a home surrounded by nothing but dirt, no fences, and construction, we needed something for our kids to do outside. This playground was our answer for it all! The metal and plastic is sturdy and holds up well against all the wind and dirt, not to mention my roudy kids. I also highly recommend springing for the install. They came and put it together in about 4.5 hours and did a great job; much more preferable to the headache and 2plus days to get it done.

I noticed this Adventure Tower in the backyard of a neighbor, we are new Grandparents and I was keeping my eyes open to replace the Fort we had for our children. I immediately knew this was just what we were looking for! With numerous options for multiple children to play at the same time, this is the one we purchased. We are VERY happy with the quality of construction, the sturdy workmanship and we are looking forward to many years of watching our Grandchildren enjoy it! We also installed it ourselves and were pleased with the instructions and ALL the parts were there! When our 2 year old Grandson saw it completed for the the first time his eyes popped and he said, "Oh my!" That says it all!

We love this play ground it is large has lots of features and will keep the kids playing for years. My major complaint is the paint on the monkey bars is so slippery yet the paint on the pole is sticky. My kids have fallen several times and because it is so high it is dangerous for little ones.
