I love this thing as much as my kids do. It's wonderful to put something together that actually works and goes together like you'd expect. A Made in USA product at its finest. No mis-drilled holes, no short pieces, no missing parts- no hassle. Everything goes together so well and secure I couldn't believe it. I am fairly mechanically inclined and work industrial construction with a general contractor for a living so I am pretty proficient at building things and using tools. I was able to put this together myself in about 11 total hours and that includes breaking down and disposing of the crate this monster shipped in. About an hour total unpacking and sorting all the parts for inventory and off I went. With help and warmer weather you could easily get this done on a Saturday. I did manage to snap a bolt by over-tightening. I sent an email through the website and six hours later I've got a few bolts headed my way at no charge. That is great customer service and very much appreciated! I'm going through the catalog now and ready to buy anything made by Lifetime. They've earned my dollars and I will be back for more. Basketball hoop is already on the way and the family is deciding on which kayaks we like the best. Thank you for being a great company Lifetime. I wish there were more like you!

The Big Stuff Adventure Swing Set seems very sturdy and the kids love it very much! The assembly wasn't difficult, as it took a couple of us to assemble it during two evenings after work. There are lots of different parts, but are labeled and easy to understand. So far, we are very pleased!

I bought this a week or so ago, and it arrived Thursday. I spent a few hours on Friday working on it, then 10 hours on Saturday, with just me and a little help from my wife. The instructions were great, the parts in separate bags and boxes all easy to follow. It feels solid and my 3 year old son loves it. I was a little worried about the ground I was placing it on, as it was a sand berm I had put up to control drainage near my house and wasn't very level. But this playground seemed to have some play in how it connected together and it doesn't sway or even move at all when climbing around on it. Also it feels much bigger than some of the other models I've seen in my neighbors yard. There were two minor cons. The first is the instructions for adding the net seemed ambiguous on how the right vertical support beam connected to the main frame. I looked through all my yard thinking I had lost a bolt when it turned out it was in a later part of the instructions in a different bag. The second is there were a few places where the paint had rubbed off the bars that make the restraints in the club house and one of the main beams. But I'll get some green paint and cover them. They were minor and not noticeable.

Our Lifetime playground set has withstood many a storm and 8 years later looks great and has lasted through our 5 children playing on it most days. However, our neighbor's trampoline flew into it during a recent severe storm and we needed to replace a section of roof along with a bar. They provided us the parts at a great, low cost and made sure to include extra hardware. They were extremely helpful and polite, as well.

Our kids love this swing set! And I love the fact that there is no upkeep! We've had wood playsets in the past that always started looking worn out in a few years. This one looks new years later! We've also had excellent experiences with customer service. We had a bad wind storm blow it over and bend a few poles. We reached out to customer service and they were very helpful at getting us the parts we needed to restore our swing set. Would definitely recommend!!

Bought 90042 swingset for grandkids in 2013. It's their favorite toy and the Lifetime quality is excellent. This product and this company customer service is as good as it gets. After 6 years of frequent use still in excellent condition. Have replaced the climbing net due to sun deterioration of rope. Replacing the footpads which we damaged moving the set. Damage was our fault, but company replaced free. We have also bought Lifetime plastic tables. This company makes excellent products that last and last.

I bought this swing set for my grand daughters. It has been a big hit. It’s very sturdy and every part of it are high quality. Like everyone else, the marking of the parts would have saved time. Luckily all the nuts and bolts are separated and packaged together for every section of the building process. Very please with the play set and looking forward to many of years watching the kiddos (and myself) enjoy it.

I bout this 3 years ago and had some problems with the rust due to the weather in Florida, I had the best experience with customer service, they exchange the Swing and made my kids happy. The level of service of this company is the best I have ever seen. thank you.

The playset looks amazing when finished, but you better be ready to drill holes into metal poles and nothing is marked on individual pieces, The instruction book has numbers of things, but they are not number on the parts itself! lots of the parts look really similar so be really carefully that you have the right part and facing in the right direction because multiple holes in products and you'll have to take it apart and do it again. It takes 2 people but 3 would be better!

This swingset is really solid and seems extremely well made. If you have never put anything large together with lots of parts i don’t recommend starting with this. This thing will last as long as our son wants to play on it. I m happy with our purchase.
