Instructions and packaging

My wife and I spent this past weekend putting this playset together. I'm 64 and have never before worked on a project that was put together in such an organized manor. The instructions were spot on, and everything was packaged perfectly. My only suggestion would be to put the instructions in box # 1 instead of #3.

2 degree burns

I feel bad rating this with 1 star because I really give it a 4 overall. Except I want people to be away! My parents bought this set for the grandkids. My kids okay with it all the time. And have complained and cried when walking up or down the slide that it's hot! Well today when all the kids were playing my 2 year old nephew climbed up the slide and started screaming. We ran over to grab him off and to my horror the pads of his feet were raw. The slide burned his feet so bad! We ran him in and soaked them but decided he needed medical attention. He has 2nd degree burns on both feet! Had to be put under given morphine and had his feet scrapped and wrapped. He goes to the burn unit tomorrow! He can't walk for 4-6 weeks! Guys this is so so scary! And burns are nothing to mess around with. The saddest part is today's high was 77 degrees in Utah. The slide got that hot! Please please be cautious! Wet the slide wear pants. Don't let your babies get burned!!!

Excellent product!

Finished building this set this morning. Great quality, excellent packaging and instructions! Husband and I, both in our 70s, put it together. It took us quite some time, but between our ages and Texas summertime heat, we took it slowly. Very pleased with the quality from start to finish.

Crappy company

Missing some hardware to finish the roof. I've called all week. They currently aren't taking calls. I’ve sent multiple emails, Facebook message, still nothing. Unable to complete the build on it. One star until someone contacts me about the missing hardware pieces.

Amazing!

I bought this a week ago, and it’s amazing. My kid loves it! I did break a few bolts putting it together, called customer service, and they had more sent out to me. A couple days shipping, but ended up not using them all. Great service overall by everyone I interacted with. It did take a few days to put together.

No instruction manual

It is Christmas Eve, I am trying to put this together for my 3 children and there are no instructions included. No problem I'm thinking, I'm sure I can find them online. NOPE, none of the product ID's (seems to be a different one for each box) are working, the link to help you find the product ID is not working and Customer Service is closed for the holidays. While I am glad the company gave the employees off for the holiday, I am not impressed so far..............

Beware of different versions of this product. Kind of disappointed.

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.

Couldn't ask for more!!!

I bought a swingset a little over a year and my swings rusted. They didn't question me or ask me to pay for shipping back like other companies. They just sent me new ones at no cost! I can't say enough great things about their products or customer service. If there is a lifetime product out there buy it and you won't be unhappy. They truely appreciate and value their customers.

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.
