Great sturdy play structure. Some parts difficult to assemble even with 3/4 people.

We bought this for our grandkids and the whole family loves it! Fun size, tall enough for shorter family adults to walk under, not too tall for adventurous toddlers. Our only issue was installing because the predrilled holes in the platform didn't line up with the bars underneath, no matter how many configurations we tried AFTER the initial instruction diagram and the video instructions. We had to redrill every hole. Almost every step required human strength and skill, so after a few hours tempers ran short. I titled this Happy Family because we are a happy family, most especially after it was finished and a few weeks had passed. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received this by a freight company on an extra large pallet approximately 2 weeks ago...right before a weekend of all rain, and then a weekend of snow! Finally we had a good weekend and tackled this project. First we opened all boxes and organized pieces/parts. All total-with 3 adults working, it took us approximately 9-10 hours over 3 days, but it was well worth it! Definitely read over the directions, double check your parts to make sure everything is facing the right way, and take your time. The kiddos loved all aspects of this, including the large boxes LOL They love their new castle fort! Thanks Lifetime for a fantastic play set that will last for a long time!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We set this up about a week ago and it took around one and a half days during the rain for a few hours to set up completely. It was mostly one person the whole time completing the set. It took some time, but be sure to read all the directions ahead of time and follow them to get the set completed efficiently. You may need to reread the directions a few times to get it done correctly. My kids were so excited to use it that they couldn’t wait until it was finished on the second day that they tried to get on before it was done. My son even sent out invitations to all the neighbors and Kids to come over the next day when he knew it would be finished, he hand wrote his invites and on the day it was completed the kids all came over for a party. He made a clubhouse on the bottom and other activities up top, even created his own pulley system with buckets and string. He was so in love with this set. His little sister loved hanging out in the bottom with her own plastic kiddie chairs that she dragged outside. My kids are 3 and 8, he is almost 9 and enjoys playing on it. The neighbors played too and ages ranged from 2-12. The bigger kids loved playing too. This set allows kids to use their imagination to play since there are endless opportunities to play with many doorways and even car tracks to run a car along. So glad we chose this set. I also love that it doesn’t take up as much space as a traditional playset. My son loves his fort and my daughter loves her castle.

We've had this playground for about 2 weeks now and it's been so fun! Our Kids age 12 down to 2 enjoy playing on it. Building the playground wasn't actually too difficult, though there were a couple parts that need some muscle. It took two adults 9 1/2 hours to build. It's very sturdy. The kids climb all over it and even the adults can get up there without an issue. Our favorite part is that there is a top and bottom. It makes a great fort!
