I bought this about two months ago and we have officially had it constructed for one month. My toddler (soon to be 3) loves it! It blends in well with our lawn in green and tan tones. Very heavy duty. My husband and I frequently sit on it or climb up into the tower. We haven't staked it down yet, and it doesn't move even when we swing on it. We do intend to stake it down in the future. The only thing I have found that I think could be improved is that the bars to climb up to the slide seem to be spaced a little bit further apart for younger children than I would recommend. Our toddler doesn't have trouble climbing, I just feel it would be safer if they were closer together.

We bought the A Frame playset 10 years ago. We have 5 children and LOTS of neighbors who have enjoyed it. And it still looks great! There is a bit of wear, but I imagine this playset will last at least another 10+ years. My only suggestion is follow the instructions. Read them all the way through first, like it suggests.

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

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!!

Had this swing set for two years. We live in New Hampshire, so we have all kinds of weather. I can report that after two years, our swing set looks and functions the exact same as the day we got it! The quality is so good. Nothing has ever broken, rusted, faded, even moved at all! Very happy with this purchase and my kids will continue to use it daily.

My best friend owns this playset and we spend a lot of time at his house. My little boy can't get enough of it. It is so popular with the neighborhood children that my buddy had to fence it in to keep all of the neighborhood kids from playing on it when they weren't home. Great value!

I bought this about 3 months ago and my two kids love it. all the neighbor kids come over and play on it as it definitely is intriguing to lots of different age ranges. It took about nine hours for us to set up on our own. Even though we just set up my mom's smaller one without the hut a few days before. We had friends and are pretty handy. some of the holes did not line up on the climbing rock feature but it worked. I swing on it a lot as well at 215 pounds plus a kid or two and it holds up great. The hut is the highlight. Although the wheel already stopped making noise. So 4 stars for that, the miss aliment and the install time.

This playset is very good quality. I have a few concerns about safety. First my grandchild just about fell over the edge onto his head as he slipped at the top of the ladder by the climbing wall. With no protection there to catch him thankfully my daughter was close and caught him . I asked if I could buy a railing like the one beside the slide to put there to prevent a fall but I was told no . 2) the ladder going up to the covered in part is very slippery and wide apart rungs . Another grandchild was climbing up and her boot slipped and she fell straight through hitting her head and nose. Thankfully no teeth . I would like to see solid plastic steps made to replace the railings . Otherwise it is a good product .

My son's preschool has one of these, and when I went shopping, I discovered that it's a consumer play set, not commercial. I was glad to find it, as I didn't want a play set that I had to stain and seal every year, and other metal sets I saw for sale seemed cheap. This one is solid and has a commercial-quality feel to it. I hired a handy woman that I've used before to put the set together. I made a set of tips that I copied from the review sites, and using them, she was able to put it together herself in 8.5 hours. I have a very level yard, so there were no issues with holes lining up as other reviewers mentioned. The company could save a lot of support dollars by spending a little on a good technical writer and updating their instructions with the tips from the reviewers. The only issue I've seen is that one top knot that secures the climbing net was frayed and the fibers split, right out of the box. Otherwise, the set has been flawless. The boys play on it every day.

This is a very sturdy and good looking playset that blends in nicely with natural surroundings. Shipment arrived in appr. 1 week in well constructed crate. All boxes and bags containing assembly hardware are clearly labeled. The instruction manual is very well written and easy to follow, as the assembly hardware is packaged in separate, labeled bags for each of the 7 sections in the manual (i.e. no hunting for bolts or other small parts). The hardest parts to assemble are the cargo net (lots of tension on the ropes) and the roof (holes in the plastic don't seem to align perfectly with the holes in the roof trusses, requiring some elbow grease). I assembled the set by myself in about 9 hours, including breaking apart the shipping crate and cleanup. The only room for "improvement" I can suggest is for LifeTime to ship the owner's manual inside a waterproof bag (I know, seems trivial). Although I had wrapped the crate in tarp, it was the only thing that got soaked after a downpoor, making the pages stick together.
