The instructions can be confusing at times. The anchor at the end is horrible. We could not get the metal rod out. It is protruding from the dirt and is a Hazzard. Some of the holes did not match and we had to drill new holes. Other than that the kids are enjoying it.

We have owned this playset for nearly 6 years. Our grandkids absolutely love it. It is very well-designed so that even the 3 year old can play safely on it. A few parts were worse for wear after a LOT of use and harsh NE winters. We were able to order replacement parts very easily and found customer service to be pleasant and helpful.

bought this for my grand childern ages from 5-12 and they absolutley love it and we do to the quality is amazing this is a very strong and extremely well made .so many activities for them to do its truly an awsome swing set would highly reccomend

Really nice, solid playset. My three-year-old was ecstatic to see it and can’t get enough of it. We’ve had it up for 10 weeks and so far we haven’t noticed any rust or problems. The swings are especially smooth and quiet. It arrived in a giant crate, earlier than expected. All of the required parts and hardware were present and in good shape. The only tools I think I used were a socket wrench and a drill. Big thing to know; it is time consuming and a little painful to assemble. The instructions are 70 or 80 pages long. I think I spent close to 20 hours on it (I understand that is still probably less effort than needed to assemble a wooden set). But, I was working mostly alone. Also, try hard to resist over tightening the bolts. I wanted to make it really snug and tight. But, sometimes the pipes would bend slightly out of round. I called Lifetime on the phone before I purchased and got good advice on which set would suit my needs and some technical specifics that weren’t on the website. Plus, I was given a 10% military discount. Two thumbs up on the purchase experience so far.

My girls love this play set! Despite the cold weather they have still begged to play outside. They have played for hours. The only drawback is that it took about 4 hours to assemble even with a team of 7 people working together at a good pace. Be very careful of the first few steps, especially the step that tells you to rotate the platform. We missed this step and so did a friend of mine that bought it a few weeks before us.

My 6 and 4 year old are loving this playset. Of course we couldn't wait for family help to assemble so my husband did the whole thing himself in the 90 degree heat. I helped hold things occasionally but it wasn't usually essential. It took about 12-15 hours I'd say and the directions are pretty good. Very sturdy even with very high swinging and adults playing, too.

We finished assembling the tower on 10/25, and less than 8 weeks later, we see many small areas of rust. We thought it would be at least a year before we would see this much deterioration, so we are very disappointed, especially at this price point. We live in south eastMI, where it is not especially humid, so this seems like a quality issue. We reached out to customer care, but even with replacement parts, we’d have to take apart and reassemble ourselves with the same issue resurfacing two months later - not worth our time and efforts. Very disappointed in the quality.

This swing set seems very sturdy and resistant to the elements. I found the assembly instructions to be very clear, simple and easy to understand. The only thing I feel it might need is better anchoring tie downs but I’ve found my own system that works well. I love that it’s made in the USA!

I bought the tower play set for our grandson and when we assembled it we came up missing 4 bolts. We called 800 number and they sent them right away. Thank you for not keeping us waiting for parts. Appreciate the rush! Thank you for quality employees and products.

Playset is well designed for play, except for the ladder. That is a bit precarious. assembly is a mixed bag. The manual was good most of the time, but lacked some key details that would have made things easier. I had to figure some stuff out on my own. Fortunately, I’m pretty handy, but thise with less construction experience may need to seek help. The videos on Youtube helped too. Some holes don’t quite line up and some bolts are way too short. I had to muscle a few things or dip into the extra hardware bag to make something up that would work. Assembly took me about seven hours alone. It might have gone faster if I wasn’t alone and it wasn’t 20F outside. I would definitely buy this again though.
