We bought the bundle package for our preschool age group at church to include the picnic table, toddler swing. It was just what we thought it would be, great color (earthtone), quality and over all assembly was as expected. Climbing gear was a little scratched up when received.

Bought this play set for a small private school - several of us Dads put it together in a morning. For the price, the quality is right there. The kit and instructions are extremely well laid out. Follow the instructions exactly, and everything comes out just right!

I bought this for my daughter one year ago. Given that small amount of time, I am disappointed that the rubber on the chains are extremely sticky. I even took the swings down during for two months during the hot summer, but they still became damaged. It is impossible to wash away the stickiness! Also the slide is extremely flimsy. My daughter is only 35 lbs and it still bounces as she slides down it. Another kiddo, about 75 lbs left a white mark on the slide after going down, where it bended. The slide NEEDS to be redesigned. Other than that it is a well made set and I am happy with it so far.

Pros:Weather Resistant,Hours of Fun,Sturdy,Easy Assembly,Attractive Design,Durable,"Best Value","Just Like the Park" Best Uses:Group Play,Individual Play,Physical Activity,Small Children,Older Children Describe Yourself:Stay At Home Parent,Parent Of Two Or More Children,Education Oriented Was this a gift?:Yes Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I researched playgrounds for about 1 year b/c we get 100 mph winds. This was the only playground that was sturdy enough to hold up, didn't wobble (even when I swing on it), was commercial grade, affordable, and I can play on it with my kids. And unlike its wooden counterparts I love that I don't have to worry how many kids can safely use it b/c of weight limits. Best of all - NO MAINTENANCE! The green/tan colors seem to blend in with the trees in my backyard (like camouflage) but you can get this in primary colors if you like it bright. We entertain a lot and the kids go right to it like a moth to a flame. If you can fit it...Get it!

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

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.

We bought this nearly three years ago. It looked intimidating to put together at first, but the instructions are well written. We love that it's built out of metal and that we don't have to add a coat of stain/sealant to it every year. The slide can get a little hot in the sun, and I wish that the slide had a higher weight capacity rating to it. Fair warning - dads, don't try to go down the slide with your two year old. Customer service is excellent to work with.

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 kids for Christmas, and they absolutely love it. They wait for days when the snow is gone so they can go out and play. My eight-year-old loves that he isn't too big for this set, and that it's heavy enough that he can't rock it. My two-year-old loves that she can still get up to the slides and playhouse with the big kids.

Bought this set about five years ago. The legs and feet of the swing are rusting completely out. The set is becoming unsafe. You would think a lifetime product would be more resilent to weathering as the name of the product states. Very disappointed as this item was pricey.
