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.

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.

We bought this set this spring and although several reviews said it had "confusing" instructions, we found it rather easy to follow. My kids and their friends have enjoyed having their own little park in our backyard. Very solid...no "give" to the bar while kids are swinging. Love that there isn't any wood to treat.

We bought this a while ago and the children can't get enough of it!! We had to add extra runners in the ladder so as the 2 year old could also use it. The children love climbing up the top to watch the kangaroos grazing in the reserve behind us. The only issue we had is the slide holding heat ..... we live in Queensland Australia. ..... but a shade sail has rectified that.

I purchased this swing set for my grandchild. Set up is a little bit tough.. because I forgot to balance my lawn floor. I have missing part . So I e mail to customer service. They responded me second day with confirm shipping info. Thank you ! My grandkids love the swing set!

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

Day one of assembly is done. Tomorrow we finish with by attaching the plastic parts. Disappointed the QR codes listed for instructional videos pictured in the manual didn't work, nor did typing in the URL. All we got was the Lifetime homepage with options too see/buy more products. Next post after assembly is complete and grandkid tested.

We love the playset thus far if we can actually get it put together in this century. The strange bolt and nut combos make assembly take forever as you have to hope they line up inside the post/pole/etc. That alone has made this take a long time. Just different bolts would have made things so much easier. Plus the arched posts did not say how to align then with their top pieces. It said, "this cannot be undone" and yet had not a thing to say how to avoid a problem (where to align holes or anything). We still have to finish putting on the lower rock climbing walls, the slide, and the ladder but ran out of daylight.

I bought this three years ago. My girls love it and I bought it because metal is supposed to last longer then wood. Some random metal has started to rust like on the swing chains and a small part on a support bar but lifetime has stood behind their product for that reason I am giving it 5! I love lifetime and a company that stands behind their products. I won’t buy anywhere else for my outdoor stuff.

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.
