We bought this as a longterm gift for our three grandchildren who are now 3, 2 and almost 1. They love it now and I think it will last until the 3 year old is a teenager. Very sturdy construction and built to last. I'm sure it will outlast the wooden playsets that I considered during my shopping research!

Within three months (with little rain), rust appeared in a number of spots, and the number of spots continues to grow. We LOVE this playset, but yikes! We bought this for our grandchildren for Christmas to play on at our house, but already the set looks ten years old because of the rust! I will be contacting Lifetime today and will follow up this review with how responsive they are to this issue.

We surprised our kids with this swing set for Easter about 5 years ago. This thing is solid! Well built! Great warranty! It hasn't faded at all. Just purchased a lifetime toddler/baby swing and excited to add it on so our littlest can enjoy it too. The slide is pretty fast and has a little drop off the end, so every kid whose gone down it has ended up landing on their rear at least once, but they bounce back up and play some more. To take advantage of all the features, I'd recommend this for kids at least 4 and older. Best feature is that it doesn't have to be restrained every year like the wooden sets!!

My husband and I purchased this play set for out granddaughter two years ago for her 5th birthday. At the time she was so very happy and said it was the best present ever! She is still saying it as she and the neighborhood children all love to play on it.she live in a 4 season climate and it gets every kind of weather but has held up beautifully. My husband is constantly amazed every time we go to visit and the set not only appears new but still feels like new. We thought it was a bit pricey at the time we got it but did not want wood due to the possible splinters and deterioration over a few years. We can't say enough great things about this play set because it has made both our granddaughter and us very happy and we expect it to for years to come.

We researched for a long time and finally decided on a Lifetime Swing Set. We initially tried to assemble ourselves but it proved too difficult given the scope of the project, a few mislabeled parts that customer service helped to identify, and our lack of time. But now that it is up, we love it. It is well made, includes plenty of options for play, and has already become a neighborhood favorite. With a 3 yr old, I do have concerns with all the open area surrounding the deck, in particular the climbing wall side, but we put up a few bungees to create a barrier on that side to lessen the open space. All in all, we love it and look forward to years of backyard fun.

Pros:Sturdy,Weather Resistant,Attractive Design,Easy Assembly,Durable,Hours of Fun Best Uses:Older Children,Group Play,Small Children,Individual Play Describe Yourself:Parent Of Two Or More Children Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. This swing set is awesome...we live in the desert and I didn't want a wood set that had to be maintained. This is so nice!!! The kids love it, as well as adults. Sturdy enough for dad to swing with his little girls :-)

I ordered this item and within 2 days was informed that it had shipped and to expect delivery in 7-10 days from Utah to Florida. It was delivered within 5 days and took up the whole garage. Assembly was a 2 man job but was accomplished on a Sunday afternoon All the parts were included and arrived Once assembled my daughter said "Oh my God" and wanted to sleep on the deck the first night and now spends her outside time on the play set and does her homework in order to be allowed out Best gift ever and this product will last as long as my daughters childhood

We bought the swingset when our boys were three and six years old. They are eight and 11 now, and the swingset has gotten them through their childhood years. And it still looks nearly new. I am on the website now many years later to re-order a replacement rope cargo net which has disintegrated over time. Every other part of this swingset is solid and has held up very well to snow, sun and rain. My boys spent many hours outside playing on the swing set, with neighborhood friends and with each other. We have other neighbors with wooden swing sets- their sets have required frequent maintenance, including replacement of parts and staining. The second story clubhouse is still a favorite hangout spot today. Swing heights adjust easily. Highly recommend this set.

I just installed a Lifetime 10X8 shed and loved it. Decided I wanted a durable playset that would hold up as the kids got bigger and this looked like it would fit the bill. I pout this up by myself and only took me about 6 hours with a little help from the kids. Instructions were very simple and easy to follow same as the shed. This thing is a tank and holsd the weight of adults as well as kits. Looks good and the color scheme helps to blend into the yard. Going to get the Geometric Dome Climber next and the yard will be the destination for all the kids in the neighborhood.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Put this together a month ago on my own, with a little help on a couple of the steps. All together took about 4-5 hours to put it up, including time to level the ground, etc. The kiddos are loving it and appears that it will hold up to the NW elements much better than our neighbors rotting wood playset
