Fantastic Playset and Great Quality

After a few weeks of debating this season on whether to go with the standard wood playset, or to lay down a bit more money and go for this one, we decided on this one. We're glad we did, as this piece is solid and obviously high-quality. The low-maintenance aspect of the metal and plastic is great too, as whenever it gets dusty or dirty or some big bird poops on the slide, all it takes is a quick hose-down and it's clean. The assembly was fairly straightforward, but time-consuming. It's still not as bad as the instruction manual made it seem though - it stated it would take 3 people 13 hours to assemble, but it took me 14 hours alone total with a little help here and there from my wife. It also took another 2 hours to properly level the playset and the ground around it (you may or may not have to do this depending on your lawn), and another half hour or so to anchor it with the included kit. You should also factor in the time to make this a safe place to play; because it's so huge a kid could take quite a tumble if they slip off the monkey bars or fall from the deck. Follow the advice in the manual and set up a safety area around it. On our part we bought a wood/pvc mix playground border kit that was almost 6 inches high, set it up around the set, then filled it to the brim with playground wood chips. This beat digging a huge 6-inch deep gouge in our yard, that one day we'd need to fill when our daughter outgrows this and it needs to go.

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!!!

Thankful for this purchase!

We just bought this set and our kids love it! We bought it during the COVID-19 social distancing time, so delivery was just offered at the end of the driveway with one man removing it from the large truck. As far as assembly, it takes a while, so be prepared! It took 3 days total, but working about 2-3 hours each of those 3 days...but it was worth it. The kids love the swings, slide, and monkey bars. I can even stand straight in the tower (I’m 5’4”). We are very happy with our purchase and I would recommend it. I may look at purchasing the stabilizer set in the future.

Great Set! Instructions needs updating

The set is fantastic, my son loves it. Problem with this is mainly the instruction manual, not the product. The bolts and washer letter designation do not match the blister packs. The only way around it I found was to take the part and match it to the instruction book. Fortunately the manual pictures are actual size of the bolts, etc, so you can match it up that way. I can see someone who is not mechanically incline get frustrated with the installation. Lifetime should update either the manuals or get the labeling correct.

quality playset built to last

After numerous cheap metal swing sets and then wooden set that did not last five years I stopped being cheap and got this set for my three kids. I put it together by myself 5 hours the first day and another five hours the second day. It took some ingenuity. I had a friend help me lift the roof up onto the top and thats it. Kids love it. Money well spent.

Horrible Ladder

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.

Best pre Covid19 purchase ever

We bought this a few months ago and absolutely loved it. But with Covid19 it has been 10x more fun. I had Lifetime assemble it and was well worth the money. It is extremely sturdy and safe. My only complaint is that I wish the the slide had a bit more of a gentle ending. It tends to launch 2 year old off the bottom so we have to catch her everytime.

Fun play set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this play set. We love the swings and the bar swing. There is a car track up on top of the base of the tower. The steering wheel on top of the tower works good. Slide is fun and fast. The whole structure is sturdy and stable for the kids at play. A really good buy

Great Product, kids love it!

Overall, very pleased with fit and finish. Ease of putting it together was average, but the multiple assembly resources helped well. Seems well built, and kids love it! I wish the powered coat finish was a bit more consistent, as it was chipping already in some spots.
