The Adventure Tower- A Tower to Have Adventures!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an extremely well built product. I was surprised and pleased that the fasteners were button-head socket cap binding posts. These take a little longer to put together but it is very sturdy and safe for the kids. The bolts also have a pre-application of threadlocker which is nice. You definitely need at least 2 adults for putting on the roof and attaching the swing-set supports. Great product, my kids love it! We added Battery-powered LED tap lights up under the green roof peak for the fall when it gets dark early.

Slide and ladder are poor design

We bought our playground in 2018 and it only roll our kids going up ladder and down slide one time to see how poor design it was. Clearly, they did not have kids test it. The slide has a bump in middle that causes a very uncomfortable ride down and can't understand why it is there. Honestly, it is painful to watch my kids go down. Now the ladder is also slanted in a way for kids to easily fall through. Look at others reviews/pictures to see how they had to secure with different material. All they needed was kids to test it before they manufactured this in mass. Little changes could go a long way for this set.

We are sorry you have not had a good experience. All of our playsets meet ASTM safety standards. However, As with any playground equipment, proper precautions should be observed. On-site adult supervision should be provided at all times. To prevent entanglement and strangulation, dress children appropriately, using well-fitting shoes and avoiding ponchos, scarves, jackets with neck drawstrings, and other loose-fitting clothing that is potentially hazardous while using equipment.

Up, up, and away! Luckily no kids hurt!

We love this playset but do not love how easily it blew across our yard, taking out trees in the process, and narrowly missing our house. It ended in a heap of twisted metal and broken plastic. The wind was minimal at the time and the sandbox immediately adjacent to the playset did not even have the lid blown off. I watched in horror as the whole thing unfolded; a construction worker next door saw it happen too and came running to make sure everyone was okay. Luckily no kids were on the playset at the time! I do not know if I can, in good conscience, recommend a playset that has the potential to do this. The playset weighs a lot, so the design must be faulty in order to create an uplift that can carry something so big.

After assembled 5 stars

I looked high and low for a playset that fit my tallest granddaughter. I am the type that has to see the product to be able to know if it fits what I am looking for. Pictures online etc can be very deceiving. I walked into my local Sam's club and found this in display. I instantly knew this was the set for my granddaughters. I wasn't paying the high delivery or assembly charge. So I rented a uhaul and picked it up myself. Over a weeks time, ny husband whom is a trucker, myself and some friends tackled the assembly of this set. The instructions are very vague. The metal is heavy, so at some points like attaching the swing bar to the playhouse we needed an total of three adults which we didn't have. Certain assembly steps in my opinion were out of sequence. There were many things I felt could have been assembled before( like the roof after the leg assembly, as it was a four man job once standing straight up). I could list a few more but you get the idea. This is why I gave it 4 stars. After we got it built, the kids loved it and it's super cool, thus I give the completed playset 5 stars. Just be prepared for what's ahead if there's only two of you trying to assemble this thing. I have build many things and I am so thankful it's finely done a week after starting the assembly.

Lifetime Adventure Tower! Great Fun For the Kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this through Sam's Club last December. Took 1.5 days to build with a little help from a second person. Time spent building was well worth it as this seems to be a solid playground swing-set that both of my boys are loving! A+ Lifetime. All of the products I have purchased from you have been quality made!

Well Built Playground!

My husband and I purchased this set for our too grandboys . We had it delivered to their home . Lots of communication from shipping company so we knew when it would be delivered . ( someone had to be there to receive it). It is quality built and will be enjoyed for many years to come. We would definitely buy again. Be patient read and reread instructions. Twice I thought they gave us wrong hardware but I was wrong. And had used some incorrectly. But it was easy to fix. Every nut and screw were included , nothing missing. It's not hard but best done without little ones in the mix . Lol. Boys are 2 and 4, somethings like monkey bars are just a wee bit beyond them. But it's a challenge and they love it.

Excellent playset

[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.

Sturdy, safe, and fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our playset for 18 months and it still looks new. I highly recommend this set. One concern I had was the arched ladder being dangerous for our 3-year-old (now 4 and a half). Well, he's climbed up it hundreds of times and it's never been an issue.

Great product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought the adventure tower for my kids last week and they absolutely love it. It's well built and very sturdy and good quality. I paid the extra money for lifetime to assemble it and I'm glad I did their are a lot of pieces.

Not a one man project!

Instructions are self explanatory, however, ensure pay close attention to dimples facing down especially when putting the tower together. If I had to do it over again, I would have paid someone $$$ to put it together. Would have saved a weekend, time, health, lol. Appears to be made with quality and should last a very long time.
