I have a 5, 4 and 2 year old. I would definitely say this play structure is something for older kids. With the two big openings it is just too risky and such a HUGE fall if one of them we’re too get too close to an edge. I got this play structure for my kids to play but I end up stressing out the entire time because I fear them falling

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set has been assembled for a couple weeks now and my kids absolutely love it! We wanted to get a said that they could grow into and this is perfect. We had an issue assembling the a frame and needed new parts. The company was easy to contact and shipped out new polls right away. Could not be happier!

Our lifetime swingset isn't even 5 years old and it's rusted all over. The ladder tabs completely rusted off, causing the ladder to be unsafe to use. This was a huge disappointment for a brand that considers themselves 'lifetime'. Didn't even get 5 years out of it.

My 8 grandchildren would have a blast playing on this Lifetime Adventure Tower. There are so many activities that several children can play on it at the same time so no one is left out of having fun! I love the safety features including the heat resistant materials and the covered edges.

Well, it's up and it's in use. My kids 3-9 love and use every part of it (except we are not using the fire pole). The manual was effective, only a few pieces were not stickered with there letter code to indicate we had the correct part for the next step, which we could easily figure out. There was tons of plastic wrap on everything, but this was important to keeping the coating from scratching off, so necessary. I love that we got this product. My 9 yr old can stand in the center of the tower, however there is lots of ducking to get into the upper and lower zones. The sturdiness is what we wanted and so far we expect it will be for many years...tbd.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this playset in our backyard for about 6 months now. My kids love playing on this. It will be nice when my littlest daughter will be able to climb the ladder more skillfully (she is 18 months.) My only complaint so far is that it's not incredibly little kid friendly. Next summer will be a lot better for her to be climbing the ladder and rock wall. The materials seem like they will last for ever. The area we live in can get very windy. We have had a couple really bad windstorms and it didn't even budge which is awesome! A lot of trampolines will fly down the neighborhood causing damage, which is one of the reasons we decided to forgo a trampoline and purchase a swing set.

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!!!

My grandmother gave us this playground as a wedding gift 4.5 years ago. The rust on the tower is outrageous. I have been in contact with a customer service rep at lifetime for the past couple of months. They will not honor the warranty because I cannot produce the receipt. My grandmother passed 2 years ago so I can't ask her for it! I explained this many of times to them but they're unwilling to help except for giving me a discount on the faulty parts(which will be almost as much the playground with shipping to Hawaii). They even said to discontinue use of the play set as it is not safe anymore. The monkey bars and swings are fine. The tower however looks like it is 10 years older than the rest of the play ground. To be fair I do live in a humid environment. Still doesn't explain why half the playground is rusting and falling apart at an exponentially faster rate than the rest. My kids are so bummed that they can't play on the tower in fear of getting cut by the rusty metal or the whole thing collapsing from not being structurally sound. Especially right now during this "stay at home" period. I normally don't leave negative reviews but I don't want anyone else to have to suffer through this like we did. I have a 2 lifetime plastic folding tables that work great...not too sure what happened with the playground.

Quality is very high. I was able to build it myself in a few days. I had no one to help. Instructions are super clear. If you are not mechanically inclined, you will need to hire someone for assembly. Skill level “Moderate”. It is much bigger than it looks on line. I weigh 250lbs. The swings hold me just fine. This is a lot of set for your money. Be advised, there is a lot of assembly required!!! Follow the instructions!!!

So far so good. Did a lot of research with different brands and decided on Lifetime because of their reputation and quality. I wanted something that my kids can play on for years to come. Although I liked the look of most wood playground sets, they never seem to last because they're made of cheap wood. Definitely don't regret that decision. I also put the whole thing together by myself. I'm just a DIY'er with a decent amount of tools, not a professional tradesman. Couldn't really ask anyone for help as well due to the pandemic. But I likely woulda tried tackling it myself anyway because I'm an idiot. So, I can prove that this can be put together with only one person, however I don't recommend it unless you are a glutton for punishment. Took about a week, putting in 2-3 hrs a day. The directions are fairly easy to follow, but I definitely screwed up once or twice and had to backtrack a bit. If the legs had better designation or explanation, this could certainly be avoided. I suggest for anyone putting it together to pay close attention once you get to the upper rails portion of the tower. 50/50 shot that you put it together backwards, which of course I did. But I enjoyed building it and my 2 year old daughter loves it already. Still a little big for her but again, I wanted something her and her soon to be sister could enjoy for years to come.
