Verified Purchase

Worth the money.

This is amazing for our 9 grandkids to play on. While a challenge to put together, the end result was worth it.

We love this place set. Looks great. Took awhile to build, but worth it. My 4 grandkids love it. We also have the Lifetime playhouse. My only complaints would be not all holes are pre drilled and the steps are pretty far apart for little legs.

Nice playset. Unfortunately we were missing several parts. Will be about 3 weeks until we get them. Today is January 1st. This was a Christmas present for our boys. Unfortunately it's still not finished.

Great Product Looking Forward to Years of Use

I bought this for our children and am pleased with it so far. The materials are durable which is important for our location and it'll be easy to clean and maintain for years to come.

So Much Fun for All

I got the Adventure Castle for my grandchildren over 6 months ago. They absolutely love it. We added a baby swing were the bar usually goes, the babies loved it just as much as the older kids. Worth every cent I paid for it.

A beast to build but worth it kids love it

Good: Kids have been playing every day throughout the day since it was built. There are many fun features that they love to move around. Mission complete of a playset where mom and dad can chill on the deck and watch the kids enjoy themselves. Bad: Building this thing is a beast. It takes time, patience, and many times looking at the video and manual to verify that the correct bolts and pieces come together. I'm not sure how we feel about the slide, as it is only hooked with 4 bolts, but I guess we will see after winter hits and this area gets stressed. Helpful notes: When predrilling, move up to at least a 1/2" bit instead of a 3/8" bit; there were way too many times with the panel part where the predrill was still too small to push the bolt or cap, making it aggravating in a long, tedious build. If you can get help in building, I highly recommend it. Our neighbor volunteered many times to help in this build, and it was very appreciated in saving time.

Great Play Structure!

The directions for this play structure is absolutely horrible. We spent 5 hours putting together the slide FIRST. Wait until the end and do it off the structure. It makes way more sense that way and only took about 1 hour.. the directions put it together the completely wrong way and was 100% what the directions said. The playset itself is AMAZING and is very well built. I dont regret buying this but the directions is nearly useless. We also ended up adding sand and my two boys absolutely love this hangout area!!

High quality playset with great features and reasonable price.

Bought for 3 grandkids that live in the country with no nearby playground. Ships in very larger heavy crate/boxes so you need a larger pick-up truck or trailer to move it. Once unpacked, I preassembled 75% of it myself. The remaining 25% required a second person. Overall assembly was very easy with simple to follow instructions. I had no material or hardware issues. Finished product is excellent and works as designed!!! Only recommendations would be to change the stair tread height as they're very high for toddlers to climb and to install some type of gate at the top of climbing wall that would block off the 2nd level opening when the climbing wall is NOT in use.

Buyer Beware, a real review

I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t get a discount in exchange for a good review, the amount of 5 star reviews is mind blowing. This is pretty expensive and took forever to build which would be fine if it was good quality but good quality this is not. First, this takes way longer to build than it should because most of the holes don’t line up. And because of that the legs for the castle and the swing are crooked, rendering an already very unstable platform even more unstable. We built this on level ground, got everything as tight as can be, and this thing shakes and sways worse than a boat at sea which I guess fits the fact that my son refers to this now giant paperweight, yard decor as the pirate ship. It was a great core workout standing on it trying to install the roof because any little movement sent this thing wobbling. Do I think this thing is going to tip over with my timid 3 year old on it, probably not, but with a couple less timid five year olds with a basic understanding of physics, I think they could get it done. My kid and even some of his older friends want nothing to do with this because it feels unstable. I just don’t think anyone makes quality products anymore. For the price this should be much better but really I just want a functioning swing set for my kids so I would have paid more if it meant it would actually work. In the end the only thing this will do is make us look like we are good parents. At least our heart was in the right place of wanting to get something fun for our kids…which makes us prime targets for companies like these to rip us off, haha. Live in and learn or learn from this review and reconsider dropping 2k on this.

Would not recommend

I swapped a wooden playground for this one and I'm having buyer's remorse. The pieces have to be put together so precisely otherwise when you get to steps down the road you will be dropping f bombs like no tomorrow. For example the deck panels, we over tightened the posts and it cause them to pop out in which the deck panels had to bow out around in order to fit them. The bolts strip SO EASILY. The images in the instructions are not as helpful as you would hope and the video does a few steps backwards from the paper instructions. Obviously the video makes assembly look very smooth. Aside from assembly, it is a spider and earwigs dream.. they will make a home in every crevise of the artificial wood/rock panels. I also noticed the trapeze bar is very short, my 5 year old cannot reach it and it gets so stinken hot in the summer, for that reason alone I should have stuck with the material being wood. Please take my advice, although it looks so clean and nice in the store, it really isn't the bee's knees!
