Goodtimes!

We are very happy with the play center. The only downfall to the play center is the ladder. Smaller children have a hard time with the ladder at the top step, it has a long reach for kids to grab the handles which they tend to fall through the last step. On the A Frame set the trapeze bar comes with handles and the bar that would be nicer for the kids to reach. You can buy them separate for $50.

Dangerous for small childeren

The Good: Instructions are excellent. Construction seems very solid. Kids from 4 to 12 seem to have a great time playing on it. The BAD: I bought this playset for my 4 year old. She abosolutely loves it! Unfortunately there is no real safe way for her to get onto the landing to go down the slide or play with the steering wheel. The spacing of the grips on the rock walls and location of the grab bars at the top is too far apart for someone 3 foot 6 inches tall. The ladder arcs over and is horizontal right at the top. The spacing of the rungs and grab bars is such that she can fall thru very easily. To get to the platform she has to put herself in a very akward position basically pulling her knee to her chin to reach the last rung without hitting her head on the rail around the landing. If the ladder was more of a regular ladder, or the rungs were closer together, I'd give it 5 stars. I would not recommend for kids under 5.

Thanks for the detailed review. We are currently looking into this issue with our quality team. We value our customer feedback and want to make sure the products you are using are safe and fun. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or email us for further info. **Update** ASTM is an independent organization that helps to create safety specifications for Residential Playground Equipment and dictates spacing allowed on play features such as the arched climber. This Swing Set complies with that spacing specification. That being said, we do listen to our customers and value your feedback. We have updated the play set top rung to deck spacing to approximately 9 ½ inches to help make this transition easier for smaller children and still remain ASTM compliant.

Poor ladder design !

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 have had this problem before and we have done what we can to remedy the issue. Our playsets are approved by ASTM, an independent organization that helps to create safety specifications for Residential Playground Equipment. They have dictated the spacing measurements that are allowed on playset features, such as the arched climber. We know that safety is a necessity with our children, and so we updated the top rung of the ladder to approximately 9.5”, as small as we could go. I apologize we can’t do any more for you, however those are the guidelines we are required to follow.

My kids and me love this!!!

We bought this Play set this past spring. I was looking for a playset that would not give my kids slivers and would have as little maintenance as possible. And yet is great quality. This is perfect! We love it! It doesn't get hot in the sun and burn my kids. And the warranty is awesome too.

Great Product!

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!

Mr

Bought this for my grandson.. It is a very sturdy set and can handle a lot of kids all over it.. I'd say the only issue we could come up with is the wavy slide. It's a fast slide. When the smaller kids hit the bump, it would launch them in the air sometimes coming down past or on the end of the slide.. weee

Great customer service

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas in 2016. We noticed that one of the swing hooks was rusted. I emailed customer service, sent them a picture of it and they sent me a new one within a week. No problems at all and quick response. My daughter absolutely loves it!!

Grandkids love it!

We almost bought the Climb and Slide Playset but decided on the Lifetime Adventure Tower instead because it has more activities. We bought this just in time to assemble it before the cool weather arrived. My wife and I worked together as a team for about six evenings. Our son-in-law helped put the roof on. Halfway through the process we had the part numbers memorized. The instructions were clear and precise. I was pleasantly surprised to see a separate package of spare parts. Yes indeed! The grandkids love it, therefore, so do we! Note: We added the baby swing that's on the end. It does not come with the unit.

Fun climbing wall

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.

Very good

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.
