Love it!

I bought this three years ago. My girls love it and I bought it because metal is supposed to last longer then wood. Some random metal has started to rust like on the swing chains and a small part on a support bar but lifetime has stood behind their product for that reason I am giving it 5! I love lifetime and a company that stands behind their products. I won’t buy anywhere else for my outdoor stuff.

One problem

We love this play ground it is large has lots of features and will keep the kids playing for years. My major complaint is the paint on the monkey bars is so slippery yet the paint on the pole is sticky. My kids have fallen several times and because it is so high it is dangerous for little ones.

Fantastic Playset and Great Quality

After a few weeks of debating this season on whether to go with the standard wood playset, or to lay down a bit more money and go for this one, we decided on this one. We're glad we did, as this piece is solid and obviously high-quality. The low-maintenance aspect of the metal and plastic is great too, as whenever it gets dusty or dirty or some big bird poops on the slide, all it takes is a quick hose-down and it's clean. The assembly was fairly straightforward, but time-consuming. It's still not as bad as the instruction manual made it seem though - it stated it would take 3 people 13 hours to assemble, but it took me 14 hours alone total with a little help here and there from my wife. It also took another 2 hours to properly level the playset and the ground around it (you may or may not have to do this depending on your lawn), and another half hour or so to anchor it with the included kit. You should also factor in the time to make this a safe place to play; because it's so huge a kid could take quite a tumble if they slip off the monkey bars or fall from the deck. Follow the advice in the manual and set up a safety area around it. On our part we bought a wood/pvc mix playground border kit that was almost 6 inches high, set it up around the set, then filled it to the brim with playground wood chips. This beat digging a huge 6-inch deep gouge in our yard, that one day we'd need to fill when our daughter outgrows this and it needs to go.

Good solid playset, but could be improved.

Really 4.5 stars, a few suggestions before you tackle this. Pay extra close attention when installing the floor and triple check you have the right orientation. This will be evident by the divots on the floor to attach the slide and climbing rails being in the proper locations. The youtube video is a wonderful resource so be sure to utilize it. I put this set together by myself and it took about 20 hours, however there is a step or two where you absolutely need an extra hand. Also lifetime only provides two ground stakes which is not sufficient. Go ahead and get 6 extra to secure every pole to really make the set secure. These really should be included for the price of this set. Also, if you do not have a battery impact wrench go ahead and get one to build this set. The instructions list that a drill is sufficient but the impact wrench is much better for securing nuts and bolts. In the video they use an impact wrench also.

Awesome Playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this abyear now and our kids love it. There's lots of different ways to play and they have a blast. I elected to build it myself, this is a two man job. I did it by myself and really could have used some help. When I got stuck I called support and they were great. Would be nice if it came with 3 anchors, one for the tower and each A frame leg. As with lifetime, what a great playset!

It seems likes nice sturdy set.

We have owned out adventure tower playset for over a year now and all of our swings and bolts are rusted. It looks like our set has been sitting outside for 20 years already. If I could go back I wouldn't waste my money. It seems like a nice sturdy set at first, especially for the price we paid. Turns out you just pay for the brand.

Absolutely Perfect family Playset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime Adventure Tower Deluxe is absolutely amazing!!! We received all of the boxes and parts within only a few days. Everything was nicely boxed and very easy to understand. There were paper instructions along with all of the digital resources such as videos and instruction booklets as well. With all of the combined resources the most novice of builders would be able to construct this play set. As for the building process, it took a couple hours in the evening for two days and then the majority of the third day to fully finish the build. For a novice such as myself this could have been done in one day if we worked from sun up to sun down. I would say there isn't anything difficult at all, but it is just a process to get everything done correctly. It definitely does require two people. Again, the work is not hard at all, but there are a lot of steps. Now that it is built i can say that the tower with the slide is my most favorite part of the play set. It is about 80% of the build, but is so versatile for the kids. I have 4 kids from age 7 to 2 and each of them love it. They love the captains wheel, the rock climbing wall, the windows below to play restaurant and store, and of course the the slide. This is where the time is spent for the most part and this is where their imagination can flourish. Lastly, the colors match the landscape perfectly and the material is such quality that it will withstand with desert weather here in Arizona for many years. This is such an exceptional product that I truly and honestly will recommend Lifetime for all of my family and friends playground needs. Thank you Lifetime for being so meticulous in your design and making the Adventure Tower Deluxe the perfect safe playground for my family.

Great Set! Instructions needs updating

The set is fantastic, my son loves it. Problem with this is mainly the instruction manual, not the product. The bolts and washer letter designation do not match the blister packs. The only way around it I found was to take the part and match it to the instruction book. Fortunately the manual pictures are actual size of the bolts, etc, so you can match it up that way. I can see someone who is not mechanically incline get frustrated with the installation. Lifetime should update either the manuals or get the labeling correct.

Absolutely love this playset and this company!

I initially purchased and built this playset last summer for my son. He absolutely loved it, as did his mom and I. Unfortunately, over the course of the winter, we had some pretty bad winds one night and the playset was torn from its anchors and tossed across our yard. As a family, we were heartbroken having to tell our son that his swing set was gone, but after contacting Lifetime, they sent us an entirely new set under warranty. To say that we were impressed is an understatement. Needless to say, when I built this for a 2nd time, I double anchored every pole down so now I'm pretty sure it'll survive anything mother nature can throw at it. I would recommend purchasing the extra set of anchors if you live in wind prone areas as the playset only comes with 2. Overall, we could not be happier with this playset and company!

Great set up! Thanks for submitting a picture. Now we just need to replace those kid picnic tables with the ones Lifetime makes. You will love them and they are incredibly sturdy, backed by warranty.

The Adventure Tower- A Tower to Have Adventures!

This is an extremely well built product. I was surprised and pleased that the fasteners were button-head socket cap binding posts. These take a little longer to put together but it is very sturdy and safe for the kids. The bolts also have a pre-application of threadlocker which is nice. You definitely need at least 2 adults for putting on the roof and attaching the swing-set supports. Great product, my kids love it! We added Battery-powered LED tap lights up under the green roof peak for the fall when it gets dark early.
