We bought the set in December of 2016 and 2 years later parts of the tower were completely rusted through. I contacted costumer service and was told that rust was not covered in the warranty and I could purchase replacement parts. Now, things are worse and a piece under the tower has fallen off and I am concerned about the safety. I would have expected a play set at this price point would not start deteriorating so quickly.

Just built it yesterday. Seems like it will last very long time. Kids love it. The swings are way too close together. My kids are almost colliding every time. I had to take one of the swings off. You have to swing perfectly straight to not collide and five year olds don’t always do that.

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

I have had the system in my backyard for about a month and it is a big hit my kids and the kids in the neighborhood. It looks different from any other system out there. I really like the metal and plastic that won't cause splinters and won't rot like wood systems will. Also it is low upkeep (no staining or sanding or anything like that). One small complaint on the two climbing walls is the transition between the wall and the deck. It is a bit of a reach for my 3 year old to grab onto something to get up to the deck. My 5 year old can do it just fine. The kids really like the "fort" underneith and matchbox car city molded into the deck.

The kids love the set, but the ladder is dangerous. The arch is too high and it's hard for them to get their footing. I would never let a child climb up this ladder without adult supervision. We took it off and built our own that is Safe for children. Would not recommend buying this.

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!!!

I just finished assembly of the adventure tower playset this weekend that I ordered online. For the most part I was excited to get this because it appeared much better quality than the standard cedar ones found in the big box stores. Unfortunately, I got different parts than were shown in product detail pictures and that are shown in the lifetime assembly videos online. 1) Most significantly, the swing bar came in two pieces, vs. the one piece that I was expecting. You can actually see it shift back and forth at the connection when weight is put on the inner vs outer trapeze bar (yes, fasteners are adequately tightened). I can only guess they shortened the bar to make it easier to ship, but this is an unacceptable quality compromise. 2) The roof was a different design (octogon vs round) and I believe much more difficult to assemble than the ones shown in the assembly videos online. Some of the included hardware was just too short. 3) The swing A frame comes in multiple pieces as well. This has more of a force fit than the swing bar so it seems more structurally sound, but it still had a few extra confusing assembly steps. 4) The slide I received came in two pieces, and appears less curvy than what is pictured in the many product pictures out there. The connection seems sound, but I specifically went with this product to avoid multi-piece slides so common in other play sets. Overall, I was excited about this purchase because many people seem happy with this set, but I guess due to cost savings measures they have changed the product for the worse. I find the two piece swing bar especially disappointing given the quality I was expecting.

We are extremely disappointed that our playlet is already rusting. Water seeps in between the areas where metal is attached to metal and is impossible to dry out. This is after we covered all metal pieces with rust prevention spray during assembly. We chose this playset because it was supposed to be less maintenance than wood but that was a huge mistake. Of course the Lifetime website does not allow you to add photos or else I could show you the numerous spots and joints this thing is already rusting. I can only hope someone from Lifetime will reach out ASAP and try to make this right.

We purchased this for our church and the kids are absolutely loving it. Not too big for a small playground and not too small for all ages to enjoy. We substituted the trapeze bar for a bucket baby swing (purchased through a local hardware store); and added foam padding to the horizontal support bars in the tower (preventing bumped heads at the slide and ladder entrance). My suggestion is to have patience when putting this together. Lay out all of the pieces in consecutive order and follow the directions exactly. It will take a couple of days.

I purchased the Adventure Tower Play set six months ago. My grandkids love it. I put it by our pool so they can slide down the slide into the pool. They have a ball with it. We live in Arizona so I installed a mister system on it. It keeps it cool so they can play in the heat of the day. When they are done playing the tower holds their pool toys. I'm so happy I bought this. I would highly recommend this play set. Instructions for assembly were easy to follow. I am a Grandmother...my son and I put it together.
