the instructions aree good and were easy to follow... there are many fasteners. this is a good thing in the end, the unit is very strong and stable. total assembly time was about 5 hours easy working. there are a few places, the swing horizontal pole and "a frame" required two people as did the roof assembly. the second person was required for about 30 minutes. all in all, the kids love it and it feels as if it is sturdy and will last.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lifetime Adventure Tower with Monkey Bars is durable, made of quality parts, and is plenty large enough to last a long time for our two kids who are currently 6 & 8. They have been playing on it non-stop since we set it up. The set up took my husband and I far less time than we were anticipating. It only took us one full day plus 1 hour the following day. And we took our time. It's a fantastic, solid structure. We couldn't be happier with this product! It truly is made to be the best of the best!

This play structure is amazing! Although it isn't recommend for commercial installations, I bet it could withstand the rigors of a pre-school playground. I did pay attention to the reviews and we decided to hire one of the installation contractors recommended by Sam's to install. Excellent choice. NOTE: We saved a $$$ on picking up the components, ourselves. (The boxes and slide fit in the back of our pick-up truck.) Really recommend this product.

Received in four different boxes on one skid. It unloaded with two healthy men. Assembly was accomplished by one person in less than three hours. We bought this brand because of the perceived life expectancy, Lifetime. Kids love it. Can't keep them off of it. Three year old navigates all of the features. Five year wants to know why we didn't buy it when she was three.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids absolutely love this swing set, quality materials. The anchor system i feel should be sturdier. We used the two cable anchors sent to anchor down the monkey bars, and anchored the tower down inside with 4 fence post tied down, the play set survived 70+ MPH wind with no shifting or damage!

I purchased this for my grand children. It shipped quickly and was packaged well. The instructions were clear and parts were packaged smartly. It took a while to assemble, a lot could be done solo, but you'll need help assembling some parts. It is a well made product and the grand kids are really enjoying it.

This play set is wonderful! We did a lot of research before purchasing and it paid off! My husband was able to put this together pretty much solo over the course of a weekend. It is sturdy, well made, pieces were well labeled and it feels like it'll last a long time! Overall, VERY happy with our purchase.

I wasn't sure what to expect when ordering a metal play set but it was relatively straightforward to assemble. There were two steps where I needed a second person. One was getting the roof on top. The other involved two screws in the very center of the tower over and under the floor. My arms just aren't that long and I didn't feel like going inside for tape. The play set is rock solid. There were slight issues with leveling that were easily solved by sliding the slightly higher foot back and forth. Sometimes you had to dig a tiny bit under it so the dirt loosened by sliding had somewhere to go. I will say the plastic flooring for the tower was a bit confusing. No matter what I did, it would not sit the way it was supposed to. However, it was near a good stopping point for the day so I just left it until the next day and the problem solved itself. Sitting flat in the sun allowed the two plastic floors to interlock the way they were supposed to easily. I guess they were slightly warped from travel and needed to flatten out. The top of the slide had a bit of a similar problem with being curved while I was trying to screw it in. A day in the sun fixed that too. Also, the kids LOVE this thing. We put a sand box under the tower. They are always out climbing all over this thing. So are their friends. P.S. Don't put the steering wheel on until last. Getting the swing set bar on around that thing is a PITA.

We (finally) got this put together after about two days with 3 and sometimes 4 people working on it. The instructions are pathetic. The product is as cute as can be and the kids love it. I would recommend this if you have a lot of patience and are prepared to take apart what you put together in the last step, in two steps forward.

We are happy with our purchase. I took one star away simply because of how long it takes to assemble. It took my husband and I an entire day to assemble. That was with stopping for 2 quick rain showers. Other than the extremely long assembly, we are satisfied with pits purchase. The set is well made and will last many years for our 3 daughters.
