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 durable!!

My parents in law had a playset that the main frame was made of wood.....It was falling apart within a couple years. They purchased this Lifetime playset last year.........All grandkids love it. It seems very durable with zero maintainence needed. We highly recommend!

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.

Great fun, very durable.

We have owned this product for three years, and it has held up great! The younger kids love it, and it is sturdy enough for my older kids to still enjoy it too. It is SO nice not to have to worry about sanding and re-staining a wooden playset. The only issue we had was with assembly - it was a beast to put together! After struggling to put the climbing net on for hours, we finally figured out that our box included the wrong net. It was 12 inches too small! That was really frustrating, and I had to go pick up a new one. Once we had the right one, it went right on though.

Love the Set ~~ disappointed in the rubber piecing

We bought this summer of 2024 for our grandsons. My husband put it together with some challenges but he figured them out. Our concern is that within four months, the rubber handles on the trapeze and the rubber casings of the swing chains is already blackened, gummy, and sticky. It's disgusting. I called for warranty and they told me these things don't normally break so they don't warranty them. However, they are scheduled to replace them this ONE time. Hoping the replacements are more durable as these only stayed nice for about four months before getting rotted.

Great Product

We have had this playset for several years and it still looks brand new. We have 9 Grandchildren and they love playing on this while visiting Grandma and Grandpa. We also have several other Lifetime products that are all holding up GREAT and still look new. Great investment and Love, love, love these products!!!

Fantastic year-round in Canada

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.

Won’t last

We have had this play set about 6 years. Unfortunately, it does not last over time. Our play set started rusting. Don’t fall for the lines talking about how it’s coated in stuff that prevents rust. It WILL rust over time. All of those parts that are rusting can be replaced at your expense. So, before you purchase this set, keep in mind that it will eventually start rusting, and you will have to pay to have those parts replaced. I hope yours lasts longer than ours did.

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.

Lots of fun in a small Playset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our playset is about 8 years old now and it is still pretty solid. We have a few rust spots on the deck ends and the climbing wall support pole, but that can be sanded and repainted. The steering wheel and cargo net are now gone, but I have ordered new ones. Everything else is in great condition. The swings have survived, no cracking or chain problems. About assembly... Definitely a two person job. If you have an allen head for your drill or driver then assembly will fly. If not, then good luck and plan on taking your time. The instructions are pretty straight forward and easy to read.
