Customer Reviews for Lifetime Adventure Swing Set

Kids play on this most days of the week...even after 3 months. Great exercise. Heavy duty construction...I expect it to last with 3 boys playing hard.

They Just finished the installation for my Grandchildren Ages 6, 4, and 2 yrs old in their backyard! They all were so excited and love it! This is actually a gift for my daughter too - it gives her a break while the kids play in their own backyard !

We found this swing set for 13 years now bought it directly from Lifetime online we have been extremely satisfied with this product it is basically flawless we live in San Antonio Texas Miss wings this swingset has moved three times and we used all of the same hardware to reassemble it all three times. We will soon be making purchases to replace just the swings, the chalkboard, binoculars and the climbing rope so it'll be like new again. As we are now grandparents I intend to buy Lifetime swing sets when all of my children become homeowners so that my grandkids will grow up enjoying Lifetime swing sets in their childhood as well. The best purchase I've ever made, no regrets!

I bought this set last December for my two young kids ages 5 and 8. We live in a hot humid climate in Houston Texas and this set has lasted almost a full year beautifully. No rusting, no sticky swing handles. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. Very well made. Very sturdy. We have adults and kids on this set regularly.

We assembled this in September. Within days, several metal bars started to rust and the metal coating began to fall off. Customer service offered to send replacement bars but it would take me around 30 hours to disassemble and reassemble. I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of this set given the price and for the fact that Lifetime is not doing more to help given that I was sold a defective product.

When the pandemic struck, we knew we'd be at home and needing to keep our 5-yr-old busy. We wanted a playset for the bare backyard. And we hoped to avoid the wooden playsets, as they need annual maintenance that I tend to neglect. We wound up at the Lifetime website and were won over by the myriad choices of playsets. Honestly, the worst part of the whole experience was deliberating over which playset to choose! The setup was actually a great experience. Yes, there's a lot of work involved, but the instructions and sorting of hardware is top-notch. I had no questions along the way, everything was organized well and clearly stated in the assembly manual. And the finished product is as good as I'd hoped. The product is holding up well to the elements and the 5-yr-olds clambering all over it, the colors are holding, I see no rust and the surfaces are super-easy to clean. And it seems like the bugs avoid this playset and instead try nesting under my deck, probably another benefit to avoiding wood construction... We use and enjoy this swingset almost every day. Thank you, Lifetime, you've made a great product and my little guy loves it. Especially the spider-swing!

My 9 year old daughter absolutely loves it. Only downfall is the Assembly. Items were not marked or labeled so it took my husband and a family friend longer then it should have. But it’s better then we expected as far as quality! We live in a HIGH wind area and we knew what wouldn’t work. So far 0 issues after set up. We had a wood play structure before and HATED the staining of it to keep it looking nice and it broke within the first year. I don’t think we will have that issue with this set!

High quality swing set. Very sturdy. Our grandkids love it. Only took 3 people about 8 hours to put it together. Would highly recommend this swing set.

We're so happy with this purchase. First off, the delivery ended up being amazing. It was backordered and a little delayed, but ABF Freight actually carried the boxes inside our fence and placed them where we wanted to set it up. That was a nice perk. It did take my husband a while to build it (pretty much all of a Saturday), but he was able to do it alone except for me holding or moving the A frame a couple times. He said the instructions could be clearer, but that it was "built like a tank." We were both impressed with how sturdy it seems... Hopefully it will last a long time! So far our kids are just obsessed with the swings and climb the ladder or rope ladder, but as they get older they'll probably get more into the slide and climbing wall. Thanks, Lifetime, for a great product and experience!

We purchased this swing set (the full bundle) just over 5 years ago and my 3 kids use it constantly and still love it. Only once have I needed to touch up rust spots, but Lifetime provided the matching paint without delay. Our set gets full sun all day and even gets blasted by in-ground sprinklers every day, but the rusting is very minimal and nothing has gotten squeaky or unsafe. When my kids were little, we did add grip tape to the ladder to reduce the risk of slipping, but that’s the only detail I’d suggest as an edit for future design updates.

My kids love this!! It accommodates so many kids and there are so many options for what to do on it

Everything is great and the kids love it! Assembly would have been faster if the kids weren't helping and if all the parts were labeled better. You really have to look closely at the assembly instructions and compare parts to make sure you are using the correct one or it is oriented in the correct direction. The hardware parts packages were labeled amazingly. There is a spare parts bag too!

Follow the instructions word for word. They are detailed but everything went together great in the end We love it

My daughter absolutely loves it! She has been on it every single day. We have to bring her inside to eat and cool off because she doesn't want to stop playing. Really glad I went with the Big Stuff! And we love these colors!

My husband put this together all by himself in about 2 days. Super sturdy and definitely will last a lot longer than the cheaper wooden swing sets. Would highly recommend!

We bought this swing set in the green and brown colors in 2011. By 2020 we hav taken it down because it has rusted so bad a leg fell off. I don’t know if we got a defective one that didn’t have all the protective coatings, but my parents bought the red yellow and blue one at the same time and theirs didn’t rust. But buyers beware. It sucks to spend so much thinking it will last, only to have to take it apart and throw it in the garbage

Took my husband and I about 3 days to put together, working a few hours each day. We are in our 30’s and nothing in the process was too heavy or hard to do. At first we couldn’t find the manual so we used an app called BILT which walked us step by step and made everything soooo easy. We eventually found the manual in box 6. We did switch out 2 of the belt swings for different types, which the picture shows. We added fairy lights as well. If you have the time, an extra person, music, and refreshing drinks, you will enjoy putting this playset together, at least we did.

Assembly was a not complicated at all. Swing set kit came delivered neatly, hardware was sorted and packaged in separate packages for different stages of installation. A very smooth install process.

Was able to assemble fully in around 10 hours (including unpacking). Was able to do it by myself but a second pair of hands would have been helpful in a couple steps. Great quality and good assembly instructions. Don’t fully tighten down bolts until you complete each step. Otherwise you’ll be going back and loosening bolts to get things to fit. Everything is a tight snug fit.

Great quality swing set with lots of stuff for the kids to do. I especially like that I can get on the equipment with them. Installation took me about 9 - 10 hours with only a small amount of help from my daughter. I liked how all the hardware to install was individually packed by section in the installation manual. I only had one small issue in that I had one bolt that had damaged threads. I called customer service and they sent a replacement free of charge and it arrived in a few days.

I ordered. I paid. They shipped it. But they have no tracking, no accountability and used a shipper that is even worse. They never called to schedule delivery. After I tracked the Playset down they didn’t deliver when promised and when the truck came it didn’t have a way of getting the crate off the truck. So tomorrow I’m getting some labor and tools to take the parts out of the crate. Unbelievable! My advice is to not order direct from Lifetime. Go to Costco or wherever and get them to deliver. Otherwise, plan on renting a forklift for a week.

This playset is great we got it for our 3 yr old birthday and she loves it.

Kids love it! So many options to play and I love it because it is really sturdy

The product itself is amazing and my girls (2 and 4) love it along with my kids I babysit from home as well. We held off on the trapeze bar and used our fisher price baby swing and it’s perfect. Reason for the 2 star review was the customer service when we had an issue in assembly. My husband and I were able to put it together in 6-7 hours ourselves with the kids running/jumping on top. When we got to the cargo net, the instructions said to straighten out the net and the diagram in the manual showed it flat/flush against each other so I removed the knots (which was a big no no) but didn’t discover that until we put the net on. The pictures played a huge role in the assembly process as to show which way to turn the items for correct positioning so we relied heavily on them since none of the poles/bars had any sort of marking on them. Throughout the manual it notes when to not tighten hardware too tight and other hints/clues to make the process flawless but it had no note on the knots. I contacted their customer service via email asking for a video or information on the knots to correct it and they stated that they had no such help and only offered to “work with me” on another net after I responded back a little irritated. For the price we pay for these items, they should be a little more helpful in my opinion when it comes to helping with problems as such.

After a while, the chains on the swings began to rust. Lifetime has shipped replacements that should arrive next week! Very nice of them.

The instructions have a few flaws which caused disassemble at few spots to reconcile. Other than that it’s a great set and the kids love it

Great piece of play equipment. The direction need some work and the hardware was hard to line up, but 3 guys put together in 4 hours.

The shipping was frustrating. Estes had it for a week before we received it, and it happened to be the only rainy day we’d had. Construction wasn’t too difficult, I had my FIL help when we had something that was more than 2 people could handle. We did lay everything out in the yard and I kept it the sections as it was boxed for ease in assembly. We had it built in 6 hours with the exception of the toys that go under the club house (it was bed time and she needed mommy). Overall great quality and it looks great in the yard.

We bought the A Frame playset 10 years ago. We have 5 children and LOTS of neighbors who have enjoyed it. And it still looks great! There is a bit of wear, but I imagine this playset will last at least another 10+ years. My only suggestion is follow the instructions. Read them all the way through first, like it suggests.

Overall, materials and the sturdiness of the set are impressive. Instructions were detailed and straight-forward (for the most part, although there are one or two instances where things need to be done later and it's not noted earlier in the instructions). I was able to knock out the install in one day with just a little help from my daughter. Few things I'd like to see improved: 1. With the price you pay for the set, it would be helpful if Lifetime included spare parts as well as some touch-up paint. It's pretty much a given that there will either be scrapes/scratches during shipment or you may ding things a little while you are assembling the unit. Also, I had at least one bolt snap as I was tightening it. There were no spare bolts, so I had to do a run to the hardware store and use something that I hope will last. I also had a few instances where the piece just got away from me and fell in the grass or down one of the tubes. A bag of extra bolts of various sizes, as well as the small plastic pieces should be included. I've had those included with products that are much cheaper than this one. 2. The set doesn't move a ton, but I do notice some bowing when my 11 year old is swinging on the middle swing. She's not that heavy, so I'm hoping that is a 'normal' bend and not indicative of a defect. The crossbar that goes across the monkey bars and connects to the swing had a slight bend to it, so not sure if that is the cause. All in all, I'm happy with the set, with the exception of the few issues. Instructions and the installation process allowed me to assemble it in one day, which was a pleasant surprise.
