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.

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.

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.

I selected this as a Christmas present for three of my grandchildren, the youngest of which is 6 months old. I wanted something that would last and had enough swings and other features to accommodate and entertain all 3 of them at the same time. I was impressed by not only the features but also the product description, as it sounded like it would withstand the test of time and could be easily relocated if they were to move. I was not disappointed in any respect (and I had a great day with my son-in-law, putting it together). Assembly was easy and straightforward (the anchors are a bit of a challenge to get into the ground) and the kids just went crazy when we announced that the swing was ready for business. Their joy was the kind that made for one of those great Christmas moments.

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?

Bought this for grandkids, was extremely pleased with the sturdiness, quality and design! Easy to assemble as well, great instructions, and very fair price for this great swingset. We had the delivery company put it on our truck, and then husband drove the truck to the back yard. As adults we love to swing too, and it is sturdy enough for that. LIFETIME did this right all the way!

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!

Forget the forts !! Forget spending thousands of dollars !! They grow out of the fort thing so fast and it just sits there getting unused. We've had this set now 2 summers. All my grand daughters friends want to come to our yard because of this set. To say they love it would be an understatement. So so happy we decided on this set instead of an expensive fort swing slide combo type set. The girls are all around 8 and they could care less about a fort. This set is complimented by a trampoline i bought from Wal Mart too, it was on sale and couldnt pass it up. I sit in my chair with my coffee and watch them have sooooo much fun. I am sure we will have this set for a long long time. Even the friends older siblings come over and love it too. My wife and i are in our 70's and we take a seat on the swings too. This set is super sturdy ! Easy to clean ! And most of all its a huge hit. Best set ever, and very very easy to put together. I put this set together by myself just following the video instructions by the company, which were excellent too. I needed my wife for like 10 seconds to hold the one piece while i finished putting main section slide in, THAT IS IT !! So worth the money. Love the way its constructed too, so sturdy and strong. Before i let the kids play on it i got on the inside swing and went as hard and high as i could, not a problem. So i know this will be loved by kids of all ages. I can see my gran daughter using this into her tweens and teen yrs. Great great set.

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.

I received this playset and it was a pretty big package. I unpacked everything and laid all the pieces out and followed the directions step-by-step. The pieces were clearly marked and the directions took you step-by-step. I was able to complete the assembly within five hours with the help of my five-year-old daughter. My two and five-year-old really love the play set. Very impressed with the quality of the set and also the assembly process
