We have owned this set since 2014. While no longer perfect, the set has held up well and we have gotten our money’s worth. Our kids and the kids on the street play with it every weekend. There is a bit of rust on the chains and some bolts and joints, but the large plastic pieces have not faded. Also, Lifetime’s customer service is excellent. They stand by their products. They replaced the swings when we had issues with the rubber coating getting sticky. We are looking forward to trying the new swings, with a new silicone coating to prevent stickiness, that will be shipped to us.
