We have owned out adventure tower playset for over a year now and all of our swings and bolts are rusted. It looks like our set has been sitting outside for 20 years already. If I could go back I wouldn't waste my money. It seems like a nice sturdy set at first, especially for the price we paid. Turns out you just pay for the brand.

We bought this for our kids a few years ago and they still love it more than ever! The quality is great and very durable. It is a few years old and still looks new. It is definitely better than buying a wooden play set. We are thrilled with our lifetime play set. We have purchase many other products from lifetime as well and are always pleased with there quality and the enjoyment that they provide for our family. I highly recommend this product.

Bought this through Sam's Club last December. Took 1.5 days to build with a little help from a second person. Time spent building was well worth it as this seems to be a solid playground swing-set that both of my boys are loving! A+ Lifetime. All of the products I have purchased from you have been quality made!

This is a great playset that we will likely enjoy for a long time. The installation process was long and tedious. I recommend watching the videos even if the written directions seem straightforward. We found that there is information in the videos that is not in the written directions. (such as where the swing bar is located in relation to the other parts while building the tower). There were also 2-3 places where the written directions had mistakes and called for the wrong hardware and caused some frustration, but we were able to figure it out with some logic and the help of the video. My only dislike of this playset is the ladder. The arch and distance between rungs is not safe for younger children. The top of the ladder is especially hazardous as the child is stepping from the ladder to the tower. The gap between the top rung of the ladder and the tower is very large. A child could easily fall right through it if they slipped or misjudged the distance. I realize every activity has inherent risk, but they could easily make the rungs closer together, re-engineer the ladder to be steps, or a variety of other safer options. I'd love to see Lifetime offer an aftermarket addition to the ladder to improve the safety. In general, this ladder is not up to par on quality compared to typical Lifetime products.

I have had this since last summer and it has been great. Assembly took several hours, but most of it could be done with one person. I took it an hour or two at a time at night over the space of about a week, and only needed help with a couple items. I had all the parts and hardware I needed, with exact counts up until the final steps, where I found spare parts. Everything is well built, and mostly modular. It looks like I could rearrange the panels on the tower and slide and ladder placement without a problem. One small note, the red climbing holds (or rocks) have faded, one in direct sunlight, one on the shady side. All others are holding their color fine.

We purchased and installed the swing set two weeks ago for our grandchildren that range in age from 2 1/2 - 4 1/2, and they love it. Our only concern is the ladder leading to the clubhouse. As the child climbs the arched ladder, there is 10" opening between the top rung and the clubhouse platform, which the child can easily fall through. I contacted Lifetime and explained the situation. We feel an additional rung at the top of the arch would prevent our grandchildren from falling through. Lifetime advised they aren't able to send the requested rung because it will void the warranty and potentially be a safety issue. Isn't the 10" gap that my grandchild can fall through a safety issue? Wish they had a better answer.

We bought this set this spring and although several reviews said it had "confusing" instructions, we found it rather easy to follow. My kids and their friends have enjoyed having their own little park in our backyard. Very solid...no "give" to the bar while kids are swinging. Love that there isn't any wood to treat.

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.

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

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.
