For a long time my Mother has wanted to add a play set to her yard for her grandchildren. She eventually chose this set based on the design and price. I was tasked with the assembly. Now, this is a big set so the manual was quite long. The manual was surprisingly clear on how every thing went together, which made the task seem much less daunting. You definitely need at least 2 sets of hands to assemble most of the unit. That's a bit of a hassle, but completely understandable. The assembly took the better part of Saturday, but it all went pretty smooth. The set looks great! It's almost whimsical. It makes you feel like you're in a castle. My nieces and nephews absolutely love it! The deck and rock climbing walls were a huge hit. I would highly recommend this set. Some sets are just too big and gaudy. This thing is just beautiful.

I erected this product and it was a great play structure for my kids and their friends. A few months later we had severe weather and extremely strong winds. The winds picked this up a carried it nearly 100 feet before placing it not so gently back on the ground on its side. (I did not have it anchored properly). I got online and found the parts list I needed and called customer service. I was connected to a very helpful lady that was very patient with me. She done a wonderful job putting together the order I need to replace the bent parts. I was extremely happy with this product and the customer service Lifetime provided me. I will purchase more products from Lifetime in the future not only because I think this product is quality but as important the lady in customer service was so pleasant to work with. 5 star product 5 star customer service. Thank you

We had ours installed a month ago and we couldn't be happier. That's all our two daughters want to do when they're home - play on the playset! It is extremely sturdy - even an adult can swing on it. It is flexible, too. For instance, we added a baby bucket swing and have that up more than the swinging bar, but when our girls want the swinging bar, it's a snap to switch it out. They love the tower as well. It is their new clubhouse and sit in their camp chairs and do their homework in it. We even got cars for them to play with the "road map" on top of the tower. They look forward to sleeping on top of the tower this summer. I would definitely recommend this playset to anyone.

I bought this three years ago. My girls love it and I bought it because metal is supposed to last longer then wood. Some random metal has started to rust like on the swing chains and a small part on a support bar but lifetime has stood behind their product for that reason I am giving it 5! I love lifetime and a company that stands behind their products. I won’t buy anywhere else for my outdoor stuff.

I want to emphasize that this is a spectacular swingset. It was complicated to assemble, but reasonable considering the size. Just make sure you plan a full day or two if you have consistent help. It was about what I expected. The only problem I had is the boxes were missing one of the hardware bags (some roof hardware). The missing bag is not listed on the packing list, but it is mentioned in the instructions. I suspect everybody who buys this set will be missing this bag because of it lacking on the packing list. Even with the missing bag, I would give this set 5 STARS except they said I would have it in 4 to 6 days and it has taken 10 days. Considering I am building this for my in-laws and I am from out of town, this is a big problem because it doesn't leave me with a lot of time to finish. SPECTACULAR SWINGSET though.

We bought this a week ago and just set it up. My husband did it in 10 hours or so. The instructions were good for the most part- except where the screw names were off. One thing that made it easy to identify the mislabeled screws is that the screws are organized based on sections being built. So even if they are mislabeled, the image usually matches screws found in the same sections. Couple of holes needed predrilling. But overall not bad as we saved quiet a bit on installation fees and were able to do it ourselves. The only part you need some muscle is the installation of the circular roof. I took out one star for the instructions but other than that is a good product and kids love it. Time will say how well the last.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this abyear now and our kids love it. There's lots of different ways to play and they have a blast. I elected to build it myself, this is a two man job. I did it by myself and really could have used some help. When I got stuck I called support and they were great. Would be nice if it came with 3 anchors, one for the tower and each A frame leg. As with lifetime, what a great playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this playset last year and it has provided hours of fun for our boys ages 6 and 4! The playset itself is very sturdy and my husband said it wasn't hard to put together! We also love the no maintenance part of this playset! I would definitely recommend this!

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.
