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 kiddos love this swing set! The only downside was putting it together. Everything can only go together one specific way and you'll basically get nearly finished and realize that one of the earlier steps was off and you'll have to take it all apart and start all over! So the directions could be more clear about that. But, after it is finished...its awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our grandkids as that time they lived with us. And they still use it. In addition it has lasted quite a while the only thing I had to replace was the swing attachments, which is item Sarah helped me locate. The service was awesome and timely.

Easy to assemble and came with extra hardware which was a lifesaver! Kids love it!

Awesome playset. The kids love it. Instructions could have been better in a few places but it wasn't too incredibly hard to assemble just time consuming. 8 hours with 6 adults building in and off.

Great product and quality. It was a little tricky getting it started, however once the tower was put together correctly everything else went pretty quick.

We bought this a few months ago, it is wonderful. Super sturdy. It's a beast to put together, but worth the work. I know it will last forever, my parents have a lifetime playset that they have had for 25 years.

Purchased this playset for my 7 grandkids and they love it. The playset is made well. I did not put it together but the men that did had it set up in about 5 1/2 hours.

We purchased this two years ago and it was damaged in a wind storm, when we reached out to Lifetime and they are sending us the replacement part free of charge! They were quick to respond and so helpful!

The kids are loving this play set! The only downside is the railing right above the ladder. We just added a pool noodle to prevent head bumps! Overall this is a great product!
