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.
