We've had our playset for almost 9 years and my kids still love it. We are even taking it with us when we move because we really can't live without it! I love that it's sturdy enough for my husband and I to swing with the kids. One of our best purchases!

We have this set. We are in Winnipeg, Manitoba. This is our first winter with it, but the quality is amazing. I fully expect this playset will last beautifully for many years. We've incorporated the 2 slides into our toboggan run and our 2 year old daughter is enjoying playing on her set as much now in the snow as she did in the summer. We're so pleased we purchased this from Lifetime.

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 :-)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had our playground set from lifetime product for around ten years. With five kids of ages it is great to have a product that can stand the test of time and still look just as great as the day we bought it. Even the swings are in excellent condition

I bought this for my daughter one year ago. Given that small amount of time, I am disappointed that the rubber on the chains are extremely sticky. I even took the swings down during for two months during the hot summer, but they still became damaged. It is impossible to wash away the stickiness! Also the slide is extremely flimsy. My daughter is only 35 lbs and it still bounces as she slides down it. Another kiddo, about 75 lbs left a white mark on the slide after going down, where it bended. The slide NEEDS to be redesigned. Other than that it is a well made set and I am happy with it so far.

Right off the bat I noticed the quality and was impressed. The instructions are terrible. The parts should be labeled for easy identification and assembly. Some things require assembly and then disassemble later to assemble other parts. This is inconvenient and poor planning. Ideally it takes to people to assemble which isn't always realistic. The quality is good but assembly leaves a lot to be desired and creates extra work.

Pros:Sturdy,Hours of Fun,Durable,Weather Resistant,Attractive Design Cons:"Build manual issues" Best Uses:Individual Play,Physical Activity,Small Children,Group Play Describe Yourself:Working Parent,Parent Of Two Or More Children Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Great play set, solid and the kids love it as well as the rest of the neighborhood.

After our wooden playground rotting away and having to tear it down we decided to get this playground for them this past Christmas. It was easy to assemble despite slightly vague instructions and it took 3 adults about 3 1/2 hours to assemble. I love that it will hold up to the hot humid weather of Florida for many years to come. As a side note, one of the chains on a swing started to rust. I e-mailed customer service and was quickly sent a replacement swing. Couldn't have been easier to deal with.

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.

My son bought this play set for his young children when he moved into our home. They loved it. We live in a high wind area and at first worried about whether it could withstand the strong gusts of wind. Made it through one year without any problems. My older grandchildren loved to play on the swing set as much as the little ones. It doesn't tip when heavier kids swing very high. Love that. The only problem is he took the swing when he moved. I'm going to have to invest in a Lifetime play set myself now.
