Great product!

Was able to assemble fully in around 10 hours (including unpacking). Was able to do it by myself but a second pair of hands would have been helpful in a couple steps. Great quality and good assembly instructions. Don’t fully tighten down bolts until you complete each step. Otherwise you’ll be going back and loosening bolts to get things to fit. Everything is a tight snug fit.

Customer service

Other than the long wait to speak with someone, which is common these days with many, the 3 people I have dealt with have been superb. Their research, making suggestions and details came to solving my problem with ladder rungs. Kudos to your team. Thank you.

So far so good!

Looks like a professional park set. Took my husband and father in law the better part of a full day to assemble. Kids love it, just enough to do to keep 3yo busy. Shipment is gigantic but separate boxes for pieces of set are helpful during assembly. Positive reaction from neighbors. Hopefully low maintenance compared to popular wood sets.

Fun times are ahead

I would like to share that I am very pleased with the swing set and my kids have a blast while playing on it. It is a high quality unit and appears that it will last a long time. My only complaint was the assembly time. I spent about 8 hours on assembly, but I was by myself. I recommend two or three people for assembly. Other than that I was and have been very happy with this purchase.

It was great.

Our Grand-kids are going to love this for the next 17 decades. The set went together extremely well and the 80 pages of instructions were precise, informative and fantastic. My only suggestion is that the bolts need to be 1/8th of an inch longer. Two of them were as short as my Bank Account after paying for this.

Kid's love it!

We had bought this playset after we closed on a new home, and the kids couldn't be happier. My boys are turning 8 and 5 in this month of September so this was a birthday gift for them. It took my husband and I a couple days to set it up, but we did it ourselves and it was very challenging to build, but we were able to figure it out with the instructions. There are a few parts when the instructions could have been a little more clear, however everything turned out fantastic, and I would order from lifetime products again. Thank you so much!

Amazing warranty and service

Our rope ladder had sun rotted and could no longer be used four years after purchase. I was having trouble finding the part to order online until I used the chat box for assistance. The gentleman who helped me was very helpful and friendly. He sent me out a replacement free of charge since I was within the warranty. It arrived a few days later. The kids are so happy! Me too!!

Great, but......

This swing set is great and looks amazing. The issues we had, were none of the parts were labeled. This took additional time in finding the right piece, as well as having to go back and fix where we grabbed an identical piece. I do wish it had anchors for the feet. My son and I were both swinging high and we had to stop because it was starting to come off the ground. With 2 of us it took about 4-5 hours, with breaks.

Swing set

My 9 year old daughter absolutely loves it. Only downfall is the Assembly. Items were not marked or labeled so it took my husband and a family friend longer then it should have. But it’s better then we expected as far as quality! We live in a HIGH wind area and we knew what wouldn’t work. So far 0 issues after set up. We had a wood play structure before and HATED the staining of it to keep it looking nice and it broke within the first year. I don’t think we will have that issue with this set!

High quality, fair price, easy assembly, low maintenance - you can’t go wrong.

So glad my wife found this swingset that is not wooden. All we see is worn down gray wooden sets around and this one should last. I was shocked with the quality. I put this together myself with the help of my 7 and 4 year old boys holding a few things and getting screws. Every weld and every hole alignment was perfect. I do recommend 2 adults for assembly - I could have saved probably an hour throughout just having somebody hold and press some of the plastic caps for the holes to align and me to get a nut on. However I was able to basically do the whole thing myself in about 11-13 hours over 4 days. While building, I ended up spending a lot of time playing with the kids as we finished each component. There is a BILT app I downloaded that has 3D panoramic instructions that read you the directions over and over again. It would’ve been significantly more difficult with just the paper instructions. That app is a must. It allows you to pan and zoom into even the holes for each screw. The set is sturdy. Our family of 5 sit in the fort area up top. The main pipes are very rigid and I do the monkey bars at 180 pounds and it almost feels like a commercial playground. It also looks and feels like a quality paint. There are no sharp edges on the welds or anything like that. One roof support was bent at the very end and a bolt wouldn’t go through. I was able to bend it with pliers and a vice and drill the hole a bit bigger with a drill bit. Otherwise it was flawless. Protip: directions and most hardware are in box 6 of 6. Download the app and watch that quick before install. It’s the first thing the boys run to over a month in. Couldn’t be happier with this set. We checked all out boxes (slide (2), fort, monkey bars, rock wall) and still paid less than the popular cedar swingsets available around here. Called in and got 5% discount. Last thing, I’m thrilled we don’t have to spend a weekend each summer staining this thing every year.
