We love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this play set for our grand babies about a month ago. They just love it. We’ve had story time inside the “Princess Castle” area and look forward to many years of memories. Maybe grandma will even go down the slide...

Unique Design

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.

One problem

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.

Grandkids are in heaven!

We bought this set for our grandkids. Nana and Papa put it together (need epsom salts, pain reliever and icy hot)…FYI…get some younger folks to help. Here are a few tips we found that might make your life easier…#1 Make sure you get the tower support together correctly….read the instructions …watch the video and then do it again. If you have that tower support (looks like a large stop sign) put together correctly….everything should go together well (somehow we got ours wrong and we did have dimples facing down as per instruction..but we figured it out) Just make sure you look it all over good, even go so far as to have another set of eyes look it over and insure that it is all correct before proceeding. #2 make sure you orient yourself with the pics in the manual and how you currently have the swing set up….makes a huge difference. ours went up opposite manual. #3 Make sure you have 3-4 people to help with the tower roof, particularly if you try to put this up with any kind of wind. #4 Can't stress this enough….verify the hardware needed / locate it / verify again. Most of the instructions were pretty good…all hardware were clearly marked….the videos were very helpful. After all was said and done….seeing the smiles on the kids faces made it all worthwhile….would I buy again? YEP in a heartbeat. Ask us later if we would put it up again ourselves :) We are still recovering

Love it..... But....

We purchased and installed the swing set two weeks ago for our grandchildren that range in age from 2 1/2 - 4 1/2, and they love it. Our only concern is the ladder leading to the clubhouse. As the child climbs the arched ladder, there is 10" opening between the top rung and the clubhouse platform, which the child can easily fall through. I contacted Lifetime and explained the situation. We feel an additional rung at the top of the arch would prevent our grandchildren from falling through. Lifetime advised they aren't able to send the requested rung because it will void the warranty and potentially be a safety issue. Isn't the 10" gap that my grandchild can fall through a safety issue? Wish they had a better answer.

Thanks for taking time to post Louise. The gap has been looked at quite a few times by our engineers. It used to be 13" but we closed the gap as much as we could while still adhering to ASTM standards. ASTM is a code of regulations that manufacturers have to follow. I know this may not be the answer you were looking for but I hope it helps.

Fun play set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this play set. We love the swings and the bar swing. There is a car track up on top of the base of the tower. The steering wheel on top of the tower works good. Slide is fun and fast. The whole structure is sturdy and stable for the kids at play. A really good buy

The answer to all your kids woes!

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.

Cheap, rusting product

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’re sorry to hear that your playset is rusting. Earlier versions of our playsets were built with non-galvanized, powder-coated steel, but we’ve since upgraded to galvanized steel for significantly improved rust resistance and long-term durability. This change was made in direct response to customer feedback, and we’re confident it will provide a better experience for future customers. If you purchased an earlier version and are experiencing rust issues, we want to help. Please reach out to our Customer Service team so we can work with you to make this right.

We love it

We have owned this swingset for 5 months now. I had done reseach for probably six months making sure this is what we needed. Was worried most about the curved ladder and little kids but kids as young as two can do it. I do stand close by most times to be sure they don't need help. I also love this swingset as I can climb up to the top to be with them and I can also swing with them and they also love that. Well worth it. We opted to have someone put together for us and it only took them half a day.
