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.

We bought this for our kids several years ago and it is very strong and enjoyable for the kids. But what I am really most impressed with is how little weathering and UV damage there is. It is set up in in full suns so there has been a lot of chance for UV damage

We purchased this set 5 years ago and it's given our kids, and the neighbors, many hours of fun and play. It also doubles as a waterslide during the hot summer months. The paint hasn't chipped and it hasn't rusted. It looks almost as good as new! Best toy investment we've ever made!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this 2 years ago, set it up our selves (mistakeon our part, I suggest paying to have them come build it). My kids played on it for the 1st year non stop and now every so often play on it. The only thing negative I have to say about it is, it's meant for kids 4 or older, or kids that are at least 3 feet tall. The gap between the ropes and bars to climb are difficult for little ones to navigate.

I purchased this playset for the 2 boys last year. Let me tell you... it is built like a brick "you know what house". Everything is steel construction and can take some serious abuse (even from lawnmower hits) and show very little for it. Lots to do to keep the kids busy and strong enough for my wife to swing as well. And even better no slivers! My only complaint is the fasteners are a bit soft... so be careful if you pull something apart to move the playset. The fasteners can strip if not careful. Other than that this unit is great and will be around long after I am. I would definitely recommend.

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 ordered. I paid. They shipped it. But they have no tracking, no accountability and used a shipper that is even worse. They never called to schedule delivery. After I tracked the Playset down they didn’t deliver when promised and when the truck came it didn’t have a way of getting the crate off the truck. So tomorrow I’m getting some labor and tools to take the parts out of the crate. Unbelievable! My advice is to not order direct from Lifetime. Go to Costco or wherever and get them to deliver. Otherwise, plan on renting a forklift for a week.

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.

Pros:Durable,Attractive Design,Sturdy,Easy Assembly Describe Yourself:First Time Parent,Working Parent Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. The instructions were quite well written which is a nice change compared to what we're all used to when assembling things. Yesterday, three of us spent 7 hours assembling this very well built play set. It is sturdy and solid. It is clear the designers intended to build a quality product.

We bought this for our daughter in 2021 and just now got around to putting it together. The quality is top notch and the hardware packs make things super easy. What isn't such a good thing is how some of the instructions are laid out. The pictures aren't clear in some steps and the instructions don't mention certain items, such as making sure certain support beams be situated in a certain direction or the blown up diagrams not showing a washer clearly when one is needed. Outside of those things, the girl loves it and it wasn't too bad of a task where just myself put this together. There were three times when this needed two people.
