Directions were clear for expectations for putting together. Plan for a day. We did it while it was cold and windy so tons of breaks were taken and it was still in line with other reviews. Kids love it. I recommend kids wearing shoes on the monkey bars as my kids love to be barefoot but a week after we got it up she fell and fractured her heal. Oops. Kids will be kids and play hard.

We have had this swing set up for two weeks now. It is fantastic. My 2 and 3 year olds love it. Our neighbors (6,8,&9) love it. And even my husband and I enjoy the swings and the monkey bars. Super sturdy, incredibly simple to assemble, good looking. We are delighted.

The playset is excellent for kids however, big caveat - it will rust. We had the playset for several years now and it's starting to rust and fell apart. See photos. Glad was able to find the rust before kids went on the slide deck. A little disappointment that metal has rusted, Lifetime may need to research replacing those parts with aluminium or material that can withstand elements of nature. Still giving 3 stars as there are no other comparable products on the market.

This swing set is great for children, mine are 8 and 5 and will be able to use this for years yet. This was initially shipped to us without instructions for putting it together (and the online version not matching the named parts we received). The company's customer service was great to work with and very quickly resolved the issue.

This was surprisingly easy to put together! All the parts were included, no damage and clear instructions. Very nice place set and I know from owning other Lifetime products that it is good quality and will last many years. They also stand behind there products and it’s very easy to get replacement parts if ever needed.

I have a mentally disabled granddaughter who uses my swingset as a calm down. We have had to weld some of the legs back because she is 19 yrs but smaller. She was devastated when this broke but your Sara knew which part I needed and had it here in days. Thank you and she thanks you.

Christmas Present for the kids. Item came very well protected in one long 2x4 crate. It is rare to seeing manufacturers properly crate products anymore. It took two people 3 hours each to put this together. Great instructions and the materials are quality. The swings are a little close together, would rather have had two swings spaced apart than 3 swings close together but not a deal breaker. Highly recommend.

Bought this for my 9 year old daughter. It fits her perfect and she will have several years of use before she outgrows it. Delivery was as expected - they called to set up a delivery time, arrived as promised, dropped off the crate and helped me get it in the garage since it was a surprise gift. The crate is a large wooden structure the size of 2 pallets width. and about 3 feet tall. We burned the wood in the fire pit as extra fun. It took my husband and one other man 3 1/2 hours to set up and install. Other than some parts being mislabeled, it was a smooth process with all the parts properly packaged. I would highly recommend this set - and it looks great in the yard too!

Overall excellent quality swing set! My only issue is that the packing quality control is lacking! I was given 3 of park (x) and only 1 of part (y) which required me to mark and drill holes into part (x) to finish A-frame assembly and I was missing 4 bold and nuts from the hard way set. Luckily I have plans to concrete this swing set in so that you can fully use it and not worry about the “anchors” pulling out. I had used the 4 bolts from the feet of the monkey bars to complete the slide handrail install. With all that being said this is a 5 star swing set but the missing parts and hardware are inexcusable which is why I rated it a 3 star I would highly recommend this swing set over any wooden playset out on the market

I bought this last month and it's great! It's simple but has everything three kids need - three swings, monkey bars, slide, ring bar, pole, etc. The monkey bars are much higher than most sets which makes it nice for my older kids. It's VERY sturdy too which also makes it a good fit for older kids. It was also very easy to put together- my husband and two older kids easily assembled it in a 2-3 hours. Very happy!!!!
