KIDS LOVE IT

Bought this about 2 years ago. Still holding up well. Assembly is fairly simple as it comes with step by step easy to read instructions (plus you could find some helpful YouTube videos). I will say though, it's probably not worth the current price ($1,499). I bought at a much more reasonable $599 at the time.

Plan a full day for assembly, Buy better anchors

Plan a full day to assemble as it's not quick and does require 2 people and a 6' ladder. Also, use more tie downs than supplied, preferably helical. We had this up one month before a sto rm threw it into the neighboring field and turned it into a pretzel!

Great swingset

We have had this swingset for 2 years now (purchased in May 2014) and the kids love it. A 2 year old needs a little supervision going up the ladder because of the space between the rungs but this year he is almost 3 and gets up with no problem! When you compare the durability of this swingset to a wooden one I think this is a no brainer. My boys will love it for years to come. We also purchased the matching dome climber and would highly recommend that as well.

Poor ladder design !

We purchase two months ago - fun for 1 of 2 of our grand kids. Younger child fell thru top rung of the curved ladder onto the ground - he will not climb up yet. Poor design on the ladder. No help from the company representative to modify or offer suggestions for ladder improvement.

We have had this problem before and we have done what we can to remedy the issue. Our playsets are approved by ASTM, an independent organization that helps to create safety specifications for Residential Playground Equipment. They have dictated the spacing measurements that are allowed on playset features, such as the arched climber. We know that safety is a necessity with our children, and so we updated the top rung of the ladder to approximately 9.5”, as small as we could go. I apologize we can’t do any more for you, however those are the guidelines we are required to follow.

Amazing Product

Just finished installing this play-set over the weekend. I was able to complete the build without assistance, but it can be a little challenging at times (i.e., installing the roof by yourself). It took about 13 hours to install (not counting leveling the ground). The instructions did not have any major issues (I believe they have been updated recently). Just make sure to note that the main pole with the sticker is pole that will attach to the swings/monkey bars. I had to find this by confirm it later in the manual based upon hole locations. The coating on the set is amazing, numerous times I thought that I would have scratched the finish; however it held up great to the install. The bolts come in separated packages that are labeled, allowing to locate the correct bolt easily and making sure you have used all of the correct bolts. They also include a spare parts bag, which was great after I stripped two bolts by not aligning them properly. I would suggest to pre-connect the bolt/nuts a few turns by hand before installing them. This allowed me to turn them by hand to confirm they would not be stripped and they had the proper alignment. The only thing I wish that was included, was the exact dimensions from the tower to the monkey bars.

Fantastic Playset and Great Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a few weeks of debating this season on whether to go with the standard wood playset, or to lay down a bit more money and go for this one, we decided on this one. We're glad we did, as this piece is solid and obviously high-quality. The low-maintenance aspect of the metal and plastic is great too, as whenever it gets dusty or dirty or some big bird poops on the slide, all it takes is a quick hose-down and it's clean. The assembly was fairly straightforward, but time-consuming. It's still not as bad as the instruction manual made it seem though - it stated it would take 3 people 13 hours to assemble, but it took me 14 hours alone total with a little help here and there from my wife. It also took another 2 hours to properly level the playset and the ground around it (you may or may not have to do this depending on your lawn), and another half hour or so to anchor it with the included kit. You should also factor in the time to make this a safe place to play; because it's so huge a kid could take quite a tumble if they slip off the monkey bars or fall from the deck. Follow the advice in the manual and set up a safety area around it. On our part we bought a wood/pvc mix playground border kit that was almost 6 inches high, set it up around the set, then filled it to the brim with playground wood chips. This beat digging a huge 6-inch deep gouge in our yard, that one day we'd need to fill when our daughter outgrows this and it needs to go.

Fun play set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this play set. We love the swings and the bar swing. There is a car track up on top of the base of the tower. The steering wheel on top of the tower works good. Slide is fun and fast. The whole structure is sturdy and stable for the kids at play. A really good buy

Rust

This swing was a great find at first because my 16 yr old son with autism could swim on this playground without it moving. However, after just 1 yr the playground started rusting underneath the platform and is now unusable.

reply from LifetimeProducts

We're sorry that's happening. The steel used to build our playsets are made with a weather resistant powder-coated finish that protects from cracking, warping, rot or splinters. It is made to be rust-resistant. However, we recommend using a rust treatment for extra protection a couple times a year, especially if you live in a high humidity climate. We do have replacement parts available that can be ordered through our Customer Service Department. They can be reached at 800-225-3865 or by email at customercare@lifetime.com. Customer Service hours are Monday-Friday, 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm (MT).
