We wanted something to tuck into the woods that we could install once and be done through our kids and hopefully grandkids. After hours of searching online and testing local Amish-built options, we landed on this set. Even though it required hours of assembly, my wife, 9-year-old son and I were able to get this together snugly with minimal sway even with "big kids" swinging. :-) 5 years later, all 3 of our kids and their many cousins can still enjoy this set. Easy to clean, too.

Our church bought this playset, with additional swings added to it, over 7 years ago. It has held up wonderfully. The only things that have to be replaced are the actual swings themselves (have gotten approximately 6-7 year lifespan on the individual swings). I would highly recommend this playset, especially for high use areas such as churches, schools, daycares, etc.

I bought this 6 years ago and it has held up wonderfully. My kids and their friends still play on it all of the time, even my 12 yr old. It's very durable, as kids have climbed all over it. The only thing we have broken is the clear plastic on the binoculars. And that is after LOTS of wear. I'm so glad we bought this instead of the wooden ones where kids would get splinters.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our Big Stuff Playset from Lifetime! It took us about 6 hours to set up, and I 100% recommend using both the manual and video to help with installation. I'm really happy with the earth tone colors, it helps make it fit naturally in our yard. The kids love all the fun things from the swings to the 9 foot slide, plenty to do for all ages. But their favorite place to be is up in the playhouse driving their toy cars on the floor or writing with chalk on the wall. They also spend a lot of time on the three seat swing below the house too. We're very glad all the swings are coated and soft for the kids hands as well. So happy with our playset, I'm sure we'll be spending many hours outside now!!

We bought the A Frame playset 10 years ago. We have 5 children and LOTS of neighbors who have enjoyed it. And it still looks great! There is a bit of wear, but I imagine this playset will last at least another 10+ years. My only suggestion is follow the instructions. Read them all the way through first, like it suggests.

We bought this set for the grandchildren 5 years ago and it's still like new. We even moved and brought it with us. I love that it doesn't need sanding, staining, or any maintenance. Even though it gets watered with the lawn, it can handle it and all they weather we get. The kids call our yard the playground. I love that they still enjoy it.

Excellent play set for all ages. Purchased this set for my 2 yr old for his birthday! It has so many areas for him to play on. All kids (and some adults) who come over love this play set. It is difficult to put together. Took 2 experienced adults 8 hours to put together completely. However, it was definitely worth the effort. Very sturdy play set, should last a long time. This should be the only play set we have to purchase.

Not easy to set up. Patience, Patience, Patience. And HELP!!! It came missing the correct model set up instructions and a few pieces. Took the co. almost two weeks to ship replacements. For over $1600, you would think the binoculars would be more than just "regular" plastic. No magnifying glass involved.

We bought this in mid-April and have had it installed for a couple months. My kids love it. There are so many fun things to do at the top of the slide. We keep chalk and matchbox cars up there for them. They are 4 and 1 and they will still be able to grow in to this using the climbing wall and the spider swing, etc. The double slide is great with 2 kids. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because I ordered it when it was back ordered in mid-April... and the in stock date kept being pushed back. I had given them my money and they couldn't tell me when I would get my product. It finally shipped end of May. Their installers were kind of expensive, so we used our project manager (who was doing another yard project for us) and they charged a couple hundred less and had it done in one day!

We bought the bundle package for our preschool age group at church to include the picnic table, toddler swing. It was just what we thought it would be, great color (earthtone), quality and over all assembly was as expected. Climbing gear was a little scratched up when received.
