The playset is amazing! It takes some time to assemble it, but the directions are thorough and the nuts/bolts/etc are on sealed cardboard labeled extremely well! There are two aspects I think could use improvement.....the slide at the monkey bars could use two-sided handles to help the kids pull themselves up the top steps to the slide; and the other is when a child climbs up the “rock wall” from the outside, it’s a big gap to reach across to the platform. Although I’d like to see these two items addressed, neither are reasons to not get this playset!! It’s fabulous and so sturdy!! We have 7 grandchildren ages 9 to 2.....they love it!

My daughter loves going over to Grandmas house because she has a "park" in her backyard. She will go outside and play for hours. It has helped her creativity and imagination by playing out on that wonderful play set. It's nice knowing my daughter can play on such a well structured and safe product. It does well with the weather and doesn't get too hot. We love that playground from lifetime, I wish they made adult-sized ones! If you are in the market for a playset checkout the lifetime store or website. You won't regret you did.

We have had this playset for several years and it still looks brand new. We have 9 Grandchildren and they love playing on this while visiting Grandma and Grandpa. We also have several other Lifetime products that are all holding up GREAT and still look new. Great investment and Love, love, love these products!!!

We have had this play set for 6 months and it has been great. I assembled it myself and while it took two evenings, it wasn't too complex. This thing is sturdy. I'm a big guy and I have climbed on the platform, used the slide and the swings and they have all held up. Even with adults on the swings, the A-frame never rocks off the ground. Our yard is not large, so the smaller footprint of this set was attractive. Even with the smaller size, there are many activities from the propeller swing and baby bucket swing that we added to the larger swings, playhouse and rock wall that older kids like. I would definitely recommend it.

There is never a visit from the grandchildren when they don't go out and play on the swingset. They range in age from 6-14 years old and all still love to hang out in the backyard on the playset. It gets them outside and active. Can't ask for anything more.

I had never entered a review. Looking at some of these, I had to wonder, why such bad reviews. We purchased this same set November 11, 2014. We have had NO problems with it until this year and yesterday I noticed that the rope ladder has started to fray and the bottom only has 3 of the ropes still attached. That is amazing considering how much playtime this playset has seen. We live in a neighborhood with a lot of children and most are at our house daily. My son, now 9, and ALL his friends LOVE to still get out and play on this. One of the best toy purchases we've made. I would recommend this to ANYONE with children. We even purchased more accessories for it, so we can change out what the kids play on, preventing them from getting bored.

I BOUGHT THIS PLAY SET FOR MY GRAND DAUGHTERS FOR CHRISTMAS 2 YEARS AGO. VERY STURDY, THEY LOVE IT. MY GRAND DAUGHTERS HAVE THE WOODEN SWING SET AT THEIR HOUSE WHICH THEY LIVE NEXT DOOR TO ME. IT IS A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN MY LIFETIME SWING SET, THEIR SWING SET IS FALLING DOWN. THE WOODEN SWING SET IS A LOT OF UP KEEP. IT NEEDS TO BE WASHED AND RE-SEALED EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS. WILL NOT BUY ANY OTHER BRAND THAN LIFETIME!

I bought the big stuff adventure swing set for my grandnieces ages 5 and 8 years old. I researched a set that would be fun and challenging for the next few years. I am so glad I chose this set!! It has been a big success and the girls want to be outside playing/swinging instead of watching their tablets!! Delivery and installation were flawless(no problems with missing parts or unreliable installers). The set comes with a spider swing which has become their favorite activity!! Really easy to change the swings to offer variety. The 9 foot double slides are fast and fun!The playhouse is beautiful and has 5 feet of clearance under the platform. The stars on the roof are a nice touch. I have no doubt this swing set is made to last and will be challenging enough to keep the girls happy for years to come!

Had this playset for 3 years before we had to move. Held up great. While our neighbor's wooden playset built at the same time was falling apart, ours looked like it was still new. Takes some effort and time to put together. Make sure though you know you'll want to keep it for a long time because it will take some effort to take it down as well.

Great value considering what you get, and made in USA. Some hiccups during the build but nothing too bad. The instructions are quite easy to follow, with only a couple of details I wish were changed for clarity. I estimate it took about 11hrs to build, and 2 people are required for certain parts. This seems like it will last a super long time, and my kid is only 3.5.
