We live in the south and have a lot of trees, so the wood swing set was out. We didn’t want mold, mildew and wasps nests everywhere. We bought this because of the reviews. I will say we LOVE it. My husband was able to get it together in a few hours, but he’s an engineer. Our only complaint it the slide gets very hot in the sun.

We had a family day today putting it together. It only took 2 hours with 3 men. My husband was impressed because he really thought it would take all day. The only thing he found wrong with it, is the bolts are what he calls “soft” and said if we ever had to take it down, they would more than likely break off. Not planning on taking it down anytime soon though. Grandkids had a ball on it!

This product can be assembled by one person in less than four hours. Two who work together well could do it in less than three hours. The material is lightweight and coated or plastic to be rust resistant. It's sturdy and the grandkids love it! Glad I made this purchase and highly recommend it. We avoided the wood swingsets because there were too many places where wasps can build nests.

Purchased this swing set during covid and the kids play on it daily. Very solid and sturdy. You definitely need two people to properly set this up safely. Had a small problem which customer service resolved immediately without a fuss. Absolutely outstanding. Love the product and the customer service to go with it! We will be buying more lifetime products in the near future. Just wish more of their products were accessible in Canada.

I received all the material needed to put the swing set together, it is quite simple for two people. The appearance is very appealing and at this time it appears to be sturdy. The children are enjoying the swing set. The only concern I have is for younger children it is a challenge to climbing up the top step to the slide. There needs to be handles on the poles to assess the climb. I am pleased with the gymnastic swing set and as the children grow the more this can used.

This swing set is just right! My husband, dad and brother-in-law got this swing up and ready for our little ones to enjoy in about 2.5 hours. It is well made and doesn't feel or look cheap. It took a lot of research and consideration for us to move away from a wooden swing set, but after seeing this in our backyard any reservations are completely gone. We noticed some reviews talked about needing different bolts and we were prepared to go get more however we never encountered any issues. It went together without a single hiccup or need for a trip to a local home improvement box store. Our little ones squealed and were swinging late into the summer evening which I am sure they'll do many days to come!

We decided to move the swing set and took it down in 3 pieces, however we didn’t take the legs off the swing side. Going through the gate one of the poles bent as it got caught on our gate. The set is 8 yrs old and without the manual I can’t order a new leg. The ones now are two pieces, we’re mine is a one piece pole in earth tone. Do you think it’s still safe for them to swing on now?

It came bundled on one pallet, about 2.5' x 2.5' x 10'. The driver backed up and unloaded it to garage. With the help of 11 yr old grandson it took about 7 hours to assemble. Everything fit together very precise and tight, so that actually, for a few fasteners, effort was required to line things up. Fasteners are a very unique design, resulting in only exponsed part being a big rounded nut, with allen wrench used to tighten. When 10 yr old grandchild swings hard, legs lift a little off ground, so may need to fasten it to a stake in ground. But it seems to do well even with 10, 7, and 5 year old all using it at once.

Given I just completed setting up the playset, my review is limited to delivery, directions and assembly. Delivery: Delivered promptly by a very professional driver from Old Dominion. The set comes in one large wooden crate. He unloaded the crate and placed it on a pallet jack then wheeled it in to my garage. Directions: Easy to follow. The directions were accurate and a highly recommended full read before you begin assembly. Setup: I assembled most the playset by myself with some help from my wife when balancing a few things during assembly. The assembly time of 4-6 hours is fairly accurate. The playset includes 2 anchors for the A-frame. I ordered a set of 4 anchors direct from Lifetime for $50 and used them to anchor the monkey bars. While maybe not necessary, the unit seems very stable with 6 anchors. Overall: The playset seems very well constructed and hopefully will last for a number of years.

This swingset has free delivery...to your curb, in a semi truck, in a 435 lb crate...several feet above the ground. I don't know if Lifetime negotiated the delivery contract or Sam's Club. But they are not offering an assisted delivery, which means that you will be providing the tools to pry open the crate, and help the driver struggle to remove each heavy box, and delicately "drop" each to the ground. You then have to find a way to get the parts and pieces to their location without the delivery person. And you have to keep the 7+ foot crate to dispose of on your own, too. Or at least this was my experience, all while juggling my 1-1/2 & 5-1/2-year-olds. Awkward delivery aside - my family loves this product. Therefore, I am rating the product 5/5. I would give "free delivery" the lowest rating possible. The swingset came with clear instructions, it looks great, and it was sturdy enough for my adult sister and mother to comfortably swing next to the kids on Easter.
