The instructions are not the best and apparently there was an update to the parts list that the instructions did not include. Delivery was fast and the driver was very helpful. The pallet is about 10 feet long and 4 feet wide. Kids are happy and that is all that's important. Took about a day to put together.

Purchased in the late spring of 2018. it only took a few hours to build for 3 people. This play tower is amazing. we have had it in the backyard for over 2 years. it has stood the times. The 4 kids have been playing and swinging on it and in all this time it has not started rustin nor has it fadded. The quality is very sturdy and when putting together if you notice issues the company replacement policy is awesome. Also after putting it toget her we realized that the tower modular panels could actually be rearranged if wanted. If we ever do move this sucker is coming with us and If we ever get the amazing sale price of $1,000 before taxes again we will gladly buy a secong one.

Have had it since 2017, All steel mounting points are rusted to the point the railing broke causing my 7 year old to fall off. “Lifetime” lists a 5 year warranty and Sams Club said it was purchased too long ago and we needed to call Lifetime. Can't get anyone to answer the phone at Lifetime.

This is a strong, heavy playground, it's beneficial to separate all the pieces and place them together. Also have a least two people to help out with assembly. The only thing I found difficult was the screws were so short and tightening can be difficult in some places. However, overall I find this playground to be top quality and year round play is essential for cold weather. My children are enjoying it! We made the right decision buying this lifetime playground.

We got the whole lifetime playground set up about a month ago and it's been a huge hit with my three children, ages are two, eight and nine and there's something for everyone. The build quality is wonderful and I think the stuff is in last forever. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 3-yr-old LOVES this thing! He has no trouble with the ladder, which was my main concern. I researched playsets for months before deciding on this one. Wooden playsets are either way too expensive or made from cheap foreign materials. Playsets made with Pacific hardwood start at $2k and will still decay. This Lifetime playset is very well-made and the instructions were nice and detailed. It helped to read them completely before starting, just to see how and when each piece fit together. Be sure to use only one blister pack of parts at a time!

Ordered this online and it was shipped freight on a big 18 wheeler. Unloaded nice and neat on a big pallet on my carport. The set itself is nice and sturdy. Take others advice, get all hardware out and all parts inventoried and read the instructions. Everything is clear for the most part, took us a few days. In between rain and double checking everything. If you have 2 people and get a start early it could be done in a day (and with no little ones under foot). Only complaint was one section of the swing bar, you drill a screw directly into the metal instead of having a nut to thread to. It does not catch good and feels loose. Its going anywhere but still, everything on this set gets snugged up good and tight except that one step. Strange. great set though over all. Kids love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this abyear now and our kids love it. There's lots of different ways to play and they have a blast. I elected to build it myself, this is a two man job. I did it by myself and really could have used some help. When I got stuck I called support and they were great. Would be nice if it came with 3 anchors, one for the tower and each A frame leg. As with lifetime, what a great playset!

My 3 y/o fell through the ladder, busted her lip a little bit. My 1.5 y/o can now climb the ladder as well. I got concerned enough and replaced the original arched ladder with a 13 ft aluminum foldable/adjustable ladder bought at local big box hardware store. I cut one of the ends off and re-attached the rubber ends so it would not be sharp. I then zip tied the ladder to the playset. (Photos attached) It seems sturdy and even I can climb it no problem. This straight ladder feels safer than the original arched ladder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After owning a wood playset, I purchased this one. It is so much better than what I had. Very sturdy! Great quality! It does take several people to assemble. My grandkids love it! They will be able to use this one for a long time.
