Lifetime Heavy Duty A-Frame Metal Swing Set for Kids - Outdoor Backyard Playground Equipment for Children's Play Area, Park, or Garden

What I did NOT want was the flimsy generic backyard swingset that was going to rust and crumple and just barely last long enough to see my kids grow up. What I wanted was something closer to the playground swings i remember as a child. Large and sturdy, designed to last for years.This swing set is a great compromise for the price. The hardware is solid and heavy duty. The manual states:"The maximum number of occupants that may safely use the entire play set including all components is threewith a maximum weight of 405 pounds (184 kg)."The swingset is designed to not require anchoring in cement or stakes and it does a good job of living up to that because of its size and bulk. I would be a little concerned if three adults started swinging as hard as they could, but it seems to hold its own very well against young children.I found it a little challenging to put together, but nothing a little swearing and scraped knuckles couldn't overcome. It took two people to put it together.The one surprise/disappointment I had when it showed up was the size of the boxes. While I was expecting 5 long straight poles, in fact each of the legs as well as the top piece are built from 3 short tubes which fit together with friction and then are bolted. At first this concerned me, but once it is together, it appears that is a very sturdy design.The swings were too high for my 3 year old to reach, so I lowered one of them with some extra chain from the hardware store.I also had one of those plastic pink infant swings and it hooked easily onto the hooks for the trapeze swing without any modifications required.The first swing set I received, the boxes were beat up and full of large holes with parts sticking out. I refused the shipment and Amazon quickly replaced them with a 2nd one which came in excellent shape.It looks great in my yard and I'm very happy with it.
