[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My Grand Children came over the weekend after it was finished and they played out there for hours!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the playset for our 5 year old granddaughter 12 days ago. My husband and son assembled it over the course of roughly 13 hours. It was well worth their time as once our granddaughter saw it, she was thrilled! She absolutely loves that there are two swings so someone else can swing with her. The play tower is a huge hit with her too! With her imagination the tower may one day be a castle and the next day a library when she can spend hours looking at books. The first time she went down the slide, she ended up on all fours so parents be aware and alert your children to be extra careful until they get the grasp of going down the slide. When searching for a playset, my husband, son and I all knew we didn't want a wooden one because of the ongoing maintenance required and risk of splinters. Our 5 year old granddaughter even told us she didn't want a wooden playset because she gets splinters when playing on them. As soon as we found the Lifetime Adventure Tower Playset, we knew our searching was over as we had found the perfect playset! This playset is going to be around for many years. Well worth the money!

If you follow the book it just takes time, patience, and an some extra hands here and there. If possible, don't immediately tightening things down, even if they tell you. Keep things loose until the next step or two, then come back and fully tighten. Remember, things don't always line up perfect when putting something together like this.

Still putting this up. We are into day two. Only 1/4 of the parts are labeled. Company should attempt to put one together in order to fix all of the installation problems.

This is wonderful set and happy we bought. Be prepared to spend more than 6 hours assembling.

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.

I feel bad rating this with 1 star because I really give it a 4 overall. Except I want people to be away! My parents bought this set for the grandkids. My kids okay with it all the time. And have complained and cried when walking up or down the slide that it's hot! Well today when all the kids were playing my 2 year old nephew climbed up the slide and started screaming. We ran over to grab him off and to my horror the pads of his feet were raw. The slide burned his feet so bad! We ran him in and soaked them but decided he needed medical attention. He has 2nd degree burns on both feet! Had to be put under given morphine and had his feet scrapped and wrapped. He goes to the burn unit tomorrow! He can't walk for 4-6 weeks! Guys this is so so scary! And burns are nothing to mess around with. The saddest part is today's high was 77 degrees in Utah. The slide got that hot! Please please be cautious! Wet the slide wear pants. Don't let your babies get burned!!!

My granddaughters love it.

I bought and self assembled this set a couple of months ago. It is built very well with quality components; sturdier than I expected. The assembly took me a weekend and it was a little challenging at times and I am not a novice. I have numerous power tools that made the job easier and quicker, but I also did it alone. Ideally its a 2 person job for one entire day. It is a great playset that should last for at least 15+ years. My three kids ages 2, 9 and 12 love it and have thoroughly put it to the test. We had a dozen kids of various ages all over it 2 weeks ago for a birthday party and it held up well - not a scratch. The playset is sturdy enough to hold me and my wife too. I highly recommend this playset; its an especially great value at under $1,000 (I'd even pay $1,500 for it).

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.
