Media from reviews


































Very disappointed. Bought my rainbow for almost 7,000 with the understanding that it has a lifetime warranty. Time to collect on the promised. You could not be covered by the warranty.
User's recommendation: Don’t buy this product. It does not hold up to its promised
Poor customer service
We attended a home show where we were told we won the door prize drawing (a water air filter system. The only catch was someone from the company had to come out to demonstrate the item and when they left we would have a water air cleaner system.
The person came to demostrate the unit but because my wife wasn't home, he got indignant and got in his car and left saying he was going to talk to the demonstrator that was at the home show. The person from the home show called and set up a new day and time when my wife would be home. The day came and went and there was no phone call or text or email, he was a no-show. So the so-called FREE door prize that we were supposed to get, we still don't have.
Sounds like fraud. If this is the way your sales people treat customers that might be interested in their product, I don't want anything to do with the company.
User's recommendation: Don't Bother!!
Playset deteriorated quickly. Not worth the high cost
User's recommendation: Do not buy a Rainbow Play Set!
Rebuttal

DO NOT PURCHASE A RAINBOW PLAY SYSTEM A WASTE OF MONEY!
To Whom This May Concern:
I am Requesting a Review of My Warranty which came with the Purchase of my Rainbow Play System in 2005.
Bridget Lalman, the representative of Rainbow Play System, is stating they will deny a claim due to a maintenance issue. When I bought my Rainbow Play System, I was not directed or given in any notification of a maintenance plan to continue warranty compliance. My lifetime warranty does not recommend or list any maintenance compliance conditions for the Rainbow Play System warranty to be honored.
The Rainbow Play System Representative Bridget Laleman is trying to hold me accountable for something they do not have written in their Lifetime Warranty Contract. Please see the attached warranty documents. The warranty document of 2005 was issued with the purchase of my Rainbow System. See the Attached warranty document of 2015 list requirements of maintaining compliance. See the first paragraph of page 2 of the 2015 warranty to see the written in maintaining compliance.
My 2005 Rainbow Play System warranty has no such maintenance compliance as a condition of warranty replacement. 2005 gives other reasons for non-warranty coverage but does not provide staining and preserving treatment as one of the requirements for not honoring a warranty.
Therefore Bridget Lalman is not honoring and continues to talk over what my initial Warranty States by getting me to sign a Waiver to Alter the Warranty which came with my Rainbow Play System. I find her business tactics to be Unprofessional and Lacking Integrity of their business practices. My system is not in Compliance with State Regulations for the safety of my children. I demand them to honor my Warranty Immediately without prejudice.

I have an older rainbow playset. When purchased I was told it had a lifetime warranty.
Now some pieces have broken and was looking to have these items replaced. For example wood slats for rock wall, canopy and rope ladder. Slide is cracked.
Please let me know how I can get warranty Service. Thanks Grazio Sorbara

Rainbow loves money and hates customers who pay them thousands of dollars
AVOID THIS COMPANY AND ITS OWNER
Owner Darren Patrick is a real piece of work. He lies, defrauds and accuses while attempting to do "business." You should absolutely avoid him and his company, Rainbow Play Systems.
He lacks integrity from start to finish, and I personally know that he has attempted to defraud a single disabled mother of four children.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AND ITS OWNER.
Mr. Patrick has engaged in a pattern of threatening and defaming behavior, and he and his company should be avoided.

Lifetime warranty is useless
This is the worst product/company i have ever dealt with. The swing set looked good in the stoe and i was assured by the sales woman it would last forever and if i had any issues they had the best warranty in the business.
After only 2 years the wood has rotted in many places, cracks have appeared on nearly every piece, the tent top has torn, the bolts have rusted, the yellow rubber coated parts have been infested with black mold (which is impossible to clean) and finally the ropes have all disintegrated to a point where my kids keep getting the prickly pieces stuck in their skin(very painful). After all this not 1 thing is covered under the warranty. They have given me every excuse and made filing the claims very burdensome.
In the end the warranty is worthless and my $4000 swing set looks awful and is unsafe. Very sad.
