Just got through putting this together. It is an awesome high quality set. Unfortunate the directions are horribly illustrated and not a single piece is numbered save for the hardware. The instructions issue has been addressed In many other reviews so I knew it going in, but I think they could be THAT bad. They were. Lifetime, you make a high quality product. Please make high quality instructions for your customers and spend the extra dollar a set to put a sticker on each part

We just assembled this playground but love it! It is exactly what we want for the 2 grandkids and other neighborhood kids. Compact but has everything we want: slide, climbing wall, big kid swing, trapeze, and we bought a bucket swing for the baby to replace the 2nd big kid swing, for now. Love it!

Bought this set about five years ago. The legs and feet of the swing are rusting completely out. The set is becoming unsafe. You would think a lifetime product would be more resilent to weathering as the name of the product states. Very disappointed as this item was pricey.

We have had this playset for a few years now. It still looks new, except for rust on the swing chains. It is very durable and strong. My husband plays on it with the kids and I swing on it with them. It holds our weight well and we are not light people.

My parents in law had a playset that the main frame was made of wood.....It was falling apart within a couple years. They purchased this Lifetime playset last year.........All grandkids love it. It seems very durable with zero maintainence needed. We highly recommend!

We purchased this swing set (the full bundle) just over 5 years ago and my 3 kids use it constantly and still love it. Only once have I needed to touch up rust spots, but Lifetime provided the matching paint without delay. Our set gets full sun all day and even gets blasted by in-ground sprinklers every day, but the rusting is very minimal and nothing has gotten squeaky or unsafe. When my kids were little, we did add grip tape to the ladder to reduce the risk of slipping, but that’s the only detail I’d suggest as an edit for future design updates.

We have a 12 year old a 7 year old and a 5 year old. With that much difference in age I wanted something that will last. It took 2 men (my father and my husband) about 6 hours to build but once they did the kids LOVE it. We were missing a few screws and a few of the parts did not line up perfectly but, we could work it out. Lifetime was very helpful in sending missing parts quickly. I really like that there is NO maintanienceNike a wooden set. I read so many reviews on a variety of swing sets and I am so glad I chose lifetime.

I bought this set last December for my two young kids ages 5 and 8. We live in a hot humid climate in Houston Texas and this set has lasted almost a full year beautifully. No rusting, no sticky swing handles. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Very well made. Very sturdy. We have adults and kids on this set regularly.

I bought this set over 6 years ago. I live in a very dirty windy area and it has held up so well through winter storms and rain, sprinklers, rough kids, dogs, and dirt! It has been so much fun for my kids and so entertaining. Great set! Very well built!

Such a great company to deal with!! Helpful, considerate, humane. We absolutely cannot wait and are SO excited to receive our playset and have our kids enjoy years of fun. Will send an additional review with pictures after receipt of our playset. Thank you, thank you, thank you Lifetime!!
