EXTREMELY Durable!!!!

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!!

Not worth the money or hassle

Bought this as the reviews were good and seemed easy to put together. After realizing nothing was marked we hired out the job to people who put these things together. Took three guys 7.5 hours and two trips for fasteners since we didn’t receive them all or they broke. The holes for the rough didn’t line up and the parts to the steering wheel that my daughter loves were missing. Also was surprised how thin the metal material is. If I had to do it over I’d buy something else. Disappointed

GREAT PLAY SET!

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!

Very sturdy and fun!

We bought this for our three young kids and EVERYONE loved it! My husband and I put it together alone. It took a couple days because the only time we had was at night after the kids were in bed. It was so fun to assemble and is sturdy enough for us to play on with the kids!

Great at first, didn’t last

We bought this swing set in the green and brown colors in 2011. By 2020 we hav taken it down because it has rusted so bad a leg fell off. I don’t know if we got a defective one that didn’t have all the protective coatings, but my parents bought the red yellow and blue one at the same time and theirs didn’t rust. But buyers beware. It sucks to spend so much thinking it will last, only to have to take it apart and throw it in the garbage

We’re sorry to hear that your playset is rusting. Earlier versions of our playsets were built with non-galvanized, powder-coated steel, but we’ve since upgraded to galvanized steel for significantly improved rust resistance and long-term durability. This change was made in direct response to customer feedback, and we’re confident it will provide a better experience for future customers. If you purchased an earlier version and are experiencing rust issues, we want to help. Please reach out to our Customer Service team so we can work with you to make this right. They can be contacted through Live Chat on our website (lifetime.com) Monday-Friday, or over the phone Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at (800) 225-3865. They can also be reached by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm (MT). We appreciate your feedback and are committed to standing behind our products.

5 years later and its totally rusted

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

So MUCH fun!

We have a 12 year old a 7 year old and a 5 year old. With that much difference in age I wanted something that will last. It took 2 men (my father and my husband) about 6 hours to build but once they did the kids LOVE it. We were missing a few screws and a few of the parts did not line up perfectly but, we could work it out. Lifetime was very helpful in sending missing parts quickly. I really like that there is NO maintanienceNike a wooden set. I read so many reviews on a variety of swing sets and I am so glad I chose lifetime.

Welcome retreat for after school.

Purchased for grandchildren 5+ years ago. They are all in grade school now, and like to head out in their backyard when they get home from school. The 2 girls like to swing and get on the 3-way underneath to play, and the 2 boys are climbing and performing wild acrobats. In the summer they enjoy running a waterhose on the slide (to keep it cool) and racing up and down. So far, it has performed remarkably well, although I noticed the ropes are beginning to wear. I was tired of buying junk for Christmas and birthdays for the four, so one year I decided to purchase this as a Christmas and Birthday presents for them all. It has been something they could enjoy again and again, year after year.

Great Customer Service

I've had the Lifetime Big Adventure playset for almost 4 years. On moving the unit some of the hardware stripped the heads during disassembly. Customer service responded to an email requesting replacement parts without hesitation and without cost to me. It was nice to be surprised by how easy they made it to get my set back together and functioning after a move. The set itself has been outstanding for my kid and stands out when compared to other standard wooden sets. Great product, great service hands down!

Exceptional

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.
