We bought this for our kids after debating many others as well as stick building our own. For the price, this set cant be beat! Very well built and looks as it will last much longer than the cedar ones. All of our neighbors who have cedar wish they would have went with this one after seeing how sturdy/well built it is. The guys at Sam's brought it out and loaded it up with a forklift. It comes in three big boxes and the slide is separate. You will need at least a full size truck to haul it home. After reading some of the horror stories me and my wife planned for two days of construction. We finished it in one day (with only one ladder). It was a full day but it went together well. We had all pieces required and no issues. Do plan on needing two people through the whole process. I thought I was going to be able to just get her help when needed but the bolt system pretty much requires two people through the whole process. One person cant reach to hold parts together in 90% of the production. We are 100% satisfied with our purchase and look forward to years of fun with family and friends in the back yard.

Swingset seems like it will last and my 4 and 3 year old girls absolutely love it. Dealing with the shipping company almost made me want to have it returned to Sam's, but eventually we got everything sorted out with them. My husband put this together in two solid days off of work.

This is a great playset. After our small wooden playset was destroyed by a tornado, we decided to upgrade to this one. It was just me putting it together so it took a while, but that's to be expected. Throughout the entire installation process I was impressed with the engineering and quality of materials. Now that it's up our boys love it! This thing will last forever, but if it didn't I would replace it with the same one.

This was purchased as a birthday present for our granddaughter. She is enjoying it immensely. The negative was the assembly time. It is somewhat complex, with many bolts to assemble the various pieces. Everything needed was there for fasteners, but you do need screwdrivers, additional allen wrenches, a drill with a 3/8" bit, and other wrenches. I would suggest opening box 1 and reading through the instruction booklet. I think that would have helped our process

Great purchase, love it although there is a lot of assembly required and the instructions are vague at times. I found Youtube video to be really helpful. My oldest son ad myself put together in 2 days. Grand Kids love it. I was impressed with how sturdy it is.

We bought this 2 months ago for our boys (6&7) one of which has a slight weight problem. Since we set it up we have had a hard time getting them to come inside. My son has only lost a few pounds but has built muscle and toned up a lot. Thanks so much for getting them out from in front of t.v. and tablets! The have so much fun!!

We just had our play set installed yesterday and it is AMAZING! The quality is unreal. My husband is big guy and it's sturdy enough for him to go on everything. My kids (ages 5 and 2) are in love with this entire set. I am so happy we decided to spend a bit more and go with a metal set as opposed to wood. I also highly recommend having the play set installed by Lifetime. It took one guy one day to do it but we are happy that we didn't have to worry about putting it together and now we have peace of mind knowing it was installed correctly.

Item was delivered on a pallet, carefully wrapped and in perfect condition. The instructions are easy to follow. The parts are clearly labeled and hardware is packaged as needed. Grandma and dad spent about 10 hours to assemble. Grandchildren love it!

This is actually our second purchase of this set. We bought one for our older granddaughter last year and were so pleased with the design and quality, that we bought one for our other grandchildren's house this year. It is time consuming to assemble - 2 men - 2 days, but the directions were good and pieces packaged and labeled clearly. It is a sturdy and durable , playground quality swing set.

We had an issue with the Lifetime play-set we purchased from a friend and reached out to customer service in attempts to get resolve the issue. Though the problem had absolutely nothing to do with the company or product itself (just a missing part), our customer service rep, Ammon, was incredibly helpful, very pleasant, and went above and beyond to help us with getting the part we needed. Thanks so much for your help! Stay safe!
