We bought this last summer for our kids ages five, four, and almost two. They love to play on it but it makes me nervous to have the two-year-old climb up the ladder. It's a little bit dangerous for small kids but I think once the kids get a little bit older it will get hours and hours of use. It lasted great through our Utah winter, and we're excited for spring so we can start playing.

We purchase two months ago - fun for 1 of 2 of our grand kids. Younger child fell thru top rung of the curved ladder onto the ground - he will not climb up yet. Poor design on the ladder. No help from the company representative to modify or offer suggestions for ladder improvement.

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.

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 purchased the playset for our 5 year old granddaughter 12 days ago. My husband and son assembled it over the course of roughly 13 hours. It was well worth their time as once our granddaughter saw it, she was thrilled! She absolutely loves that there are two swings so someone else can swing with her. The play tower is a huge hit with her too! With her imagination the tower may one day be a castle and the next day a library when she can spend hours looking at books. The first time she went down the slide, she ended up on all fours so parents be aware and alert your children to be extra careful until they get the grasp of going down the slide. When searching for a playset, my husband, son and I all knew we didn’t want a wooden one because of the ongoing maintenance required and risk of splinters. Our 5 year old granddaughter even told us she didn’t want a wooden playset because she gets splinters when playing on them. As soon as we found the Lifetime Adventure Tower Playset, we knew our searching was over as we had found the perfect playset! This playset is going to be around for many years. Well worth the money!

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.

This is an extremely well built product. I was surprised and pleased that the fasteners were button-head socket cap binding posts. These take a little longer to put together but it is very sturdy and safe for the kids. The bolts also have a pre-application of threadlocker which is nice. You definitely need at least 2 adults for putting on the roof and attaching the swing-set supports. Great product, my kids love it! We added Battery-powered LED tap lights up under the green roof peak for the fall when it gets dark early.

We bought this for the grandkids. I wasn't sure about it at first, but it was very well constructed and reasonably easy to assemble... you need two people, but one man can do most of it. Actually did a partial assembly at another location, the tower and swing support sections. Then hualed it in after dark and assembled completely to surprise the grandkids. Yes, we putthis up after dark, only took about three hours for Papa and Dad with mom holding a work light! Well worth the money, and the grandkids were stunned to see it sitting in the yard Christmas morning! Oh weather was unusually warm so we worked in shirt-sleeves to do this.

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 bought this for our grandson, age 5 and he loves it! He plays on it daily! We no longer have to worry about him not getting enough physical exercise! This playset should last for years as it is very sturdy and exceptionally well built. This purchase was one of our best ever!
