91080 Lifetime Big Stuff Deluxe Swing Set

We received the Lifetime Big Stuff Deluxe Playset in return for an honest review and we have been greatly pleased with it. Assembly took about 3 days and that’s with being restricted on when we could work due to weather. The instructions were fairly straightforward with a few minor hiccups. We love that the nuts used throughout the majority of the playset lay flat and don’t leave anything to catch children’s clothes or hurt anyone. However because of the length of the bolts it was somewhat difficult to get the bolts lined up with the nuts before we could tighten them. The bolts that went through the end caps on the top of the monkey bars were particularly difficult as the holes in the end caps didn’t line up perfectly and required a lot of effort to get things in place. We also felt it was easier to attach the climbing rope to the leg of the swingset immediately and go ahead and attach the foot on the A-frame instead of waiting to do that when the deck was attached and adding more weight. Additionally we needed to drill the holes in the deck of the playhouse for the slide before attaching to the swingset as it’s quite difficult to wedge under the deck to see where to drill especially when the person with the drill wears bifocals. Otherwise things went smoothly and went together great! My children have greatly enjoyed playing on the playset and will easily play outside for a few hours now with plenty of different activities to keep them busy. Their favorite features are the chalkboard as they have been using sidewalk chalk on everything possible right now and the map and roads on the floor of the playhouse. The ship’s wheel obstructs access to part of the chalkboard but that doesn’t seem to bother them too much. The rung spacing on all the ladders is a little too large for kids in the 3-5 range as they are further apart than a standard ladder and the younger kids could also benefit from handles on each end of the monkey bars to help them reach the top of the ladders. My kids have learned to deal with those difficulties but they do have to be very careful to not fall because of them. The roof does not have anything to cover the gap where the two sides come together so rain will get through easily to anything left on the deck. Admittedly I prefer the green and grey color scheme of the playset shown in the instructional video but the bright primary colors that we have on ours are still beautiful and appeal to my young children. The size of the playset is amazing providing plenty of features without taking up a huge portion of our yard and will still give plenty of space for all our kids to play as our family grows. Overall we are very satisfied with the playset and look forward to using it for years to come. We found it to be very sturdy and we have no worries of it wearing out for a long long time.

This play set is absolutely perfect for our growing family. The material is so sturdy and durable. The assembly video was very helpful and it took a full day to put together with two people. The colors are fun and inviting for children yet still look cohesive in our backyard. Some of the favorite features for our children are the playhouse where they can draw with chalk look through the binoculars and drive the pirate ship and the monkey bars. This play set allows for lots of imaginative play. Our children are 5 and 4 and can use all of the features of the playset and can still grow into for years to come. The size of this playset is large but manageable for those who have open space in their backyard. Overall it is perfect for our growing family and can be used by children of all ages. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to have a lifetime playground in their backyard.

This playset is the full package. It has everything my kids would want. It's big but we have . 3 of an acre and for how big it is it didn't seem to take up much space in our yard. It took about 10 hours to set up but it wasn't ever difficult. Just a lot of pieces. My kids immediately loved the fort part of the playset. Which is why we wanted this one in particular. Having a place like this outside for our kids to play and use their imagination is exactly what we wanted. The colors are perfect because it looks classy - it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb.

This swing set has been perfect for my girls! They love having two slides they can both go down and the different swings. They also love the ship wheel! It has so many things for them to do and grow into! It will be perfect for when we have our next kid and they can all have their own swing!

The Big Stuff Deluxe Playset has been an awesome addition to our backyard. It offers such a variety of things that each of our kids are continually playing on it. It literally feels like a playground in our backyard. Our kids' ages range between 2 to 7 and I can see them enjoying something new on this playset for years to come. The entire playset is very sturdy with very little sway with 3 people on the swings. Nice neutral colors fit in well to our backyard. The monkey bars and gymnast bar swing have been real winners for the older kids and slides and chalk board/hang out area are big hits with the younger kids. Everyone loves the swings (we purchased a full bucket swing for the 2 yr old- not pictured). Setup went smoothly. I was able to put it together with my wife's occasional help (you'll definitely need two people for some parts of the install). Instructions were complete and easy to follow. It did take a while though about 10-12 hours. It was packaged well coming in a crate with all of the boxes. The parts were finished and packaged nicely with no scratches or dents upon arrival. This is one of their bigger playset so it does require some space in the backyard but for 3 kids we feel like it's a perfect size for them family and friends to enjoy for years to come. Overall really satisfied with this playset.

My kids love this set! I have a 5 year old who is a pro with all the amenities and a 1 year old who loves the swing and the slide. It's very sturdy and looks/feels like it will last a long time!

I was ecstatic when I was selected to review the Lifetime Big Stuff Deluxe Playset. When it arrived the amount of boxes and materials was a bit intimidating. One of the boxes indicated that the instruction manual was inside so that was extremely helpful. My husband assembled the playset by himself in approximately 14 hours. He said that it was easier to assemble than other swing sets he’s assembled in the past. He noted that you need to pay attention early on when building the A frame otherwise the small holes for the clubhouse ladder won’t line up. He stated that this part of the instructions was not clear. In his opinion most of it can be assembled with one person but it would be helpful to have an additional person on some parts. Be prepared to have a way to recycle the shipping materials - there is SO much cardboard! Don’t underestimate the time it takes to unbox and dispose of the materials. There are SO many cool features to this playset! My children are 8 6 and 2 years old and they were all excited! The clubhouse has a chalkboard that my kids started using right away. There are stars on the ceiling/inside of the roof so when inside the clubhouse you can look up and see them. I thought this was a really neat feature. My kids were so excited about this clubhouse that they ate dinner up there the first night. My 2 year old is able to climb up to get into the clubhouse but the slide is a bit steep for her. She is able to go down it but the end of the slide just drops off so she has a rough landing. The swingset is large but we live on an acre so there’s plenty of room. There are 3 swings a fireman pole 3-way seesaw monkey bars trapeze bar 2 slides and rock wall. There are SO many activities to do so my kids are all occupied. I love this playset because of the variety of activities as it really appeals to kids of all ages. Some of the neighborhood kids came to check it out and even one of the 12 year old boys enjoyed using it. I know that this set will grow with my kids. The colors of this playset aren’t my favorite but I think they’re pretty typical for any playset (red blue yellow). I would prefer something that blends in more with the backyard but that’s just me. Although we were selected to review this playset it is totally worth the investment. My children play on it daily and it provides hours of fun. It gets our family outside and we’ve really enjoyed playing with our kids.

We purchased this set a couple years ago and the kids loved it. Unfortunately, it was taken out by a tornado last year. When we asked them which set they wanted this time, they chose the same one! We love this playset because it is heavy duty (only a tornado could destroy it!), it has features that grow with the kids (monkey bars and trapeze bar for when they're a little older), and it's metal - so no staining for the adults! The directions are clear and easy to follow, but certain steps do take 2 people, as recommended. Highly recommend.
