It took two of us about one hour and 30 minutes to assemble. All parts were there. Heavy duty material and fair to good instructions. Made in China. That was no surprise. Its a stable swing set without having to cement the legs into the ground. I hope this helps

My husband and I purchased and set up this playground set, with intermittent help from our younger daughter. for our 5 year old granddaughter (gd). It took about 1 entire day, mind you, the "feels like" temperature was 100. We had beem excitedly awaiting the arrival, but not as excited as our gd. It arrived about about a week earlier than its original delivery date. The "assembly instructions" video was very helpful and my husband followed them precisely. It looked just like the one advertised, except, we were expecting one with the earthtone color. I don't remember choosing the multi-colored one, which is the other option. The first to try the swings, was our gd, of course. Then my daughter (her mom) and i joined her on the swings. The first thing I noticed, was that the swings were swinging to close together and i was afraid we were going to hit each other. So we removed the middle swing. It was disappointing, but safer. The length was about right, but then i noticed that we wouldn't be able to adjust the chains if we wanted or needed to. The chains have a silicone cast. On to the trapeze/gym bar. That was one of the attachments my gd was looking forward to. Too bad she wasn't tall enough to swing her legs over the way she was looking forward to since she had seen children doing on the promotional video. The fireman's pole was kind of hard for her reach since the ladder is kind of set in an inconvenient way. Then there's the slide. As you get to the slide from the monkey bar, or climb the ladder, there's a bar at the top that my gd hit her head on. She wanted to try the monkey bars. She was afraid to, and asked me to hold her while she let her feet off the ladder. I did, and she fell, (dead weight), almost hitting her head on the leg of the swing set. I guess this swing set is better for older, more experienced kids like it shows on the promotional video. The swings are only real safe attachment where my gd doesn't need constant supervision, which im not able to provide. My daughter, the mom, has 2 herniated discs and the dad just had surgery on a completely torn minuscus. Both are receiving therapy, so they won't be able to assist my gd anytime soon. I'm considering returning the playground set, but my husband already discarded all the packaging that it came in, not to mention, disassembling the playground. At $1400, w/tax, i hope we can get something worked out. I wouldn't mind keeping the swing side. We assembled the set yesterday, Saturday, and i tried calling the seller/manufacturer number, but they were closed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, this set has already been fun for our boys ages 8-16. Boxes are large so be sure to have a truck and man power to transport. Upon ordering our set, we were provided with a youtube video, however we found we did not need the video because the instruction manual was perfect and parts were labeled correctly and set up went smoothly. We were able to get our Monkey bar adventure set up in less than 5 hours, you do need 2 people as there is some lifting involved while trying to get the pieces secured together. It is a heavy duty set and we're hopeful it will last us for quite a while. The only issues we ran into were the bolt/nuts that hold the set together were at times difficult to get to line up when under a load, so again 2 people are best. Also, there are a few black plastic plugs that fill in some holes that as we were moving parts they fell out and we were unable to find them, we will need to keep an eye on those holes to avoid wasps from making nests. Lastly, again my boys are ages 8-16 and when swinging on the swings, the legs do lift a little, not enough to make me fear the set toppling over (it's very heavy) but enough that we might add straps to secure it down to ensure it doesn't move. Overall the pros to this set out-weigh the few cons we've had so far and we are excited the weather is starting to warm up so we can get out there and use it more!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The monkey bar adventure swing set is amazing! We love how simple yet entertaining it is. We have 3 kids ages 9, 6 and 3 and this swing set has something for all ages. We love that this set has 3 swings! Our 3 year old loves the slide and swing. Our 9 year old is obsessed with the monkey bars and our 6 year old loves the trapeze bar and fireman's pole. It truly is great for a wide variety of ages. My husband and I can even swing comfortably. The swing set took my husband 3 hours to assemble. He said it was a very simple process. The swing set does not take up a ton of room in our yard and is more compact than some of the other swing sets lifetime offers. The swing set is very well made and will defiantly last many many years! We chose the earth tone colors and are thrilled they have color options. We love that it's not to bright or flashy in our yard. If you are looking for a swing set I'd defiantly recommend this set! Like I said it's simple compact and has TONS to offer!

Quality construction and easy installation - less than 2-person @ 4 hr. All parts clearly identified and simple step-by-step instructions. Very stable.

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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great playground! The installation was very easy especially using the YouTube version of the instructions. I did have 2 bolts come cross threaded and snapped when I tried to use them so I had to make a quick trip to the hardware store but it was an easy fix. Our daughter loves playing 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.

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!

We have a 2, 3 and 5 year old. The swings are great for the little ones. I do wish they would make them further apart. The 2 year old has a hard time getting up the slide stairs because there are no handles to help her get up. The other 2 had an issue adjusting, but are pretty used to it now. It is 9 feet so, a little high, but really fun. I would say this swing set is more for 5 years and up. Within 2 weeks of having it, my 5 year old could get across the monkey bars. We did not have to anchor it. It is very sturdy and very well made. The kids who come over love it too. It's a winner in our yard! They play on it everyday. We did have issues with delivery because the semi weighed too much, so I had to get a truck to go pick it up. It was packed well in a wooden crate. It hung out of the pickup, but it was heavy enough to stay put. (435lbs).
