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 :-)

Bought this for the grandkids a couple months back, after shopping a bit no doubt there were cheaper brands available None had the duarablity features and the detail to children that this one. We are not afraid that they will get injured on a rusty screw. The colors are bright and beautiful so eben the adults can kick back and truly enjoy the scnery and the kids, making liftime memories with a LIFETIME product! Thank U!!

This will be the best swing set we purchase! It is really heavy duty and includes wonderful features, like the double slide, platform which is constructed for higher weights, super-fast, long slides and safe add-on items. My son, part of the assembly team, ordered an identical swing set the day after we assembled this one. The only pitfall would be the lack of written directions (too much reliance on small pictures.) Inability to discern how to position the holes in parts caused too much studying of the pictures and 2-3 assemble, disassemble and change, reassemble patterns. Everything actually goes together perfectly , but 4 adults spent a grueling day assembling this monster! Packaging of hardware and labeling it gets an A+ Our swing set arrived in beat up, soaked cardboard boxes, but I feel this falls on the shipper.

We bought this playset almost 5 years. It has seen lots of play time but has rusted out. the rings, swings, lots of the joints and today the kids (6 yrs old, maybe 50lbs) were climbing up the stairs to the play house and the top stair broke! i just thought it would wear better in the FL weather

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.

We were able to assemble the swingset in over the 6 hours suggested but mainly because the leg support directions as noted in other reviews are confusing. It is VERY easy to assemble wrong and have to back track. Additionally, this product comes freight. It is impossible to track or get a progress update. It was frustrating. The driver who eventually delivered it called to ensure someone was home. The problem is that his equipment on the massive truck couldn’t move this massive crate. It was too heavy. We pulled the crate to the back of the truck using our tow strap and Jeep. Overall, I recommend the product. Super quality. They need to tweak the directions for the legs. Not sure about the shipping…that was rough.

We bought this swing set in 2011 and it is still standing tall 5 years later! It has survived a nearby tornado and a hurricane in South Louisiana. It was flipped over on its side and turned 180 degrees in BOTH storms and we pulled it back up in ONE PIECE! All of the wooden playsets in our neighborhood were torn to shreds! If you want to invest your money in a playset ONCE and only ONCE, this is the one for you! It will outlast your kids! Very pleased! The customer service and warranty service is second to none!! I have dealt with the Lifetime team on this swingset (for a replacement swing seat under warranty) and on my basketball goal (hubby ran over it with his truck and we needed a new pole) and both times it was a very pleasant experience!!

I had to order this set and wait a few weeks, but worth it!!! I found that the deterioration of the swings the other reviewer is mentioning is just dirt. I wash the rubber on the swings with grease relief and sticky problem solved. All other neighbors have wood they all look horrible and need staining every year. We just enjoy playing.. Yes i can get in the top with my daughter and have pizza, we love it.

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.

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.
