Took about one day for me and a friend to put it up. It's definitely a two maybe even 3 person build and the hardest part is assembling the roof. Everything else went Together well and the instructions where fairly straight forward. Only advice is don't lay out the parts in the Texas sun they will be a lot hotter then you expect and will lead to a yell if they touch you unexpectedly.

First off, I have to admit that I waited SAMS CLUB out until they had this unit on internet sale w/free delivery.....And what bang for the buck I got! Here goes a few comments. First off - if you order to have it delivered....expect a wait....even though your local club has it in stock, its still gonna come from a warehouse? Second. -It comes in a big crate.....and yes it's heavy....its a commercial grade playset for goodness sake (plan where your gonna store it till build day). Third - get a friend.....you ain't putting this thing together by yourself......I tried and got as far as the frame....before it became to heavy and unyeildy. Fourth - plan for at least a day's worth of work. I found the instructions easy enough to follow and the results are stunning. Lastly, be sure to plan for its location....cause you are not gonna move this thing with out a whole lot of effort, once built. As luck would have it...I reside in the land of Rainbow play systems....and have owned one previously......I would have to honestly say that the quality and features of this playset rival that of one of Rainbow's midgrade systems.....at a fourth the cost. Highly Recommend!

I specifically bought this playset for the step-kids (ages 10 & 12) and my grandkids (ages 1 & 3). I'm expecting more grands. I wanted something that would work for all ages and last many years. I was surprised when the 3 year old climbed the rock wall and was able to easily navigate the steps and the older kids enjoyed it as much as the 3 y.o.... It isn't completely set up yet, have the tower done, but the kids, all ages, had a blast. I even got myself up there and went down the slide. There's a lot of cool features not advertised, such as the road for cars on the floor of the tower and the driving wheel. I can't wait to get the rest set up this week. We had a couple damaged parts and Lifetime immediately sent replacement parts. They said it would be about a week or two, and it was literally two to three days delivered. I highly recommend this company for their customer service and this playset will last for many, many years.

My girls love this play set! Despite the cold weather they have still begged to play outside. They have played for hours. The only drawback is that it took about 4 hours to assemble even with a team of 7 people working together at a good pace. Be very careful of the first few steps, especially the step that tells you to rotate the platform. We missed this step and so did a friend of mine that bought it a few weeks before us.

Recently purchased swing after researching the best quality swing to buy. Will last so much long compared to wooden, and with less maintenance. All parts seemed of the highest quality and even comes with spare bolts. Delivered on a pallet righ to door. Very, very happy. Easy for 2 people to assemble in about a day, with easy instructions.

The kids love this play set!! It was a little intimidating to put together at first because there are so many pieces but in all actuality it wasn't very difficult at all. It took my husband and I about 8 hours on a Sunday to put together. All the pieces & hardware were there & Lifetime even included an extra packet of various screws-which definitely came in handy as a few screws got stripped by the drill. We haven't even had it a week & it's already provided hours of enjoyment for the kiddos. It's made nicely & even better made in the USA. The only setback is that not all pieces are labeled, if they were it would make putting it together a lot faster.

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.

Fairly easy to put together. Instructions were a bit out of order, but my husband and a few buddies figured it out easily. Make sure you do a pretty big footprint if wanting the slid to fit and also have room to swing if next to a fence. We did a 20'x20' area and it's not quite big enough.

My kids LOVE this playset! I picked it up from the store to save money and it fit in the back of my truck bed. We had 3 people putting it together and it took around 7 hours to complete over the course of a weekend. Everything was labeled well and instructions were easy to follow-up.

I bought this swing for my kids around a month ago, and they absolutely LOVE it! My only complaint is that some of the bolts were very difficult to get through the plastic as if they weren't long enough? Luckily the bag of extra parts came in very handy for that issue! Other than that, no complaints!!
