Nice little dome. Wouldn't be too much fun for bigger kids because it is not quite big enough. My daughter likes it and she also plans to throw quilts over it for a clubhouse at times. She doesn't use the handholds to climb but they are there for those that would want to.

the grand kids enjoy this; maybe because it is new...i had this delivered which is good; saved money, time etc...first of all, read the instructions thoroughly...and then re-read...make sure you have an extra help because it will take you over two hours to assemble; more time if you misreads the instructions which is not clear and can be confusing...but take your time and don't be in a hurry...separate all the parts and check for completeness...you do not want to be halfway done and there are missing parts/bar...use your resources for that...all our parts were there...at the beginning, hooking up the rods ends is rather confusing because it flip-flops because it is loosely tightened...make sure you hook up the rods ends, bolts/washer/nut as instructed in sequence or you will be re-doing it over; it's for safety reasons...there are many connections to the unit and it's easy to lose track...do not fully tighten the unit until finished...if the children have very small fingers, there are slight gaps in-between the handholds connecting to the bars which could hurt them if they happen to get their fingers caught...and i put safety nipples are the end of the bolts of the handholds to protect their fingers...like everything, always give a brief safety caution to all the kids using...it's a lot of fun but not when you get hurt...all in all, i am glad i bought this...i should of bought a long time ago...

This product is AWESOME, with the exception of the height of the triangles. It's recommended for 3+ and there is no way 3 year old could climb the triangles without assistance. They are larger than they look in the picture. My son is a very tall kid and he can't can't climb it. However my nieces, 7 & 10, LOVE it and they will have plenty more years on it! Assembly wasn't too bad either.

A gift for my grandchildren, they love it. Took about 2 hours to assemble. The children are almost 3 and almost 5. Both love it. I wanted something they would both enjoy and they love climbing and jumping off it. The price was great compared to other stes.

High quality and easy to assemble (with help). But children being children, they swore they would love it endlessly and promptly abandoned it after the first week. While it occasionally gets use as a structure upon which they hang whatever ungodly items they pilfer from our recycling bin, or a seemingly nice place for them to string up the pulled apart pieces of their baby brother’s basketball hoop, it’s mostly become a great focal piece of the backyard. An ode to the endlessly fruitless cycle that is attempting to throw money at the pursuit of creating beautiful outdoor childhood memories for creatures who would rather spend their free time regaling you with how utterly bored they are. I think someday I’ll turn it into a hobbit house themed wine sipping dome.

It looks great in backyard and I was able to put it together myself (though help would have been nice) My 4 and 6 year old love it-not to mention the neighborhood kids. My son would be on it every day if it weren't so cold and wet out. Great buy. Only problem was I had to call the company because there was a mistake in the directions. But even that she was able to help me with no problem.

This does not have enough low bars for little ones to climb onto. The first bar they can reach is chest level. There needs to be another lower bar as a step. My little 3 and 4 year old visitors cant reach, so they dont use it. This was rated for their age.

The dome came together pretty easily with a little help at the end from my husband, and has been easy to move when the grass needs to be mowed. I can even move it myself when I want to adjust the location of it. Most importantly, it is sturdy to climb on and my 7 year old daughter loves it!

I wanted something other than the typical swing set and I wanted to encourage climbing and creativity in the play. When I saw the climbing dome made by lifetime I ordered confident in the quality as I own other lifetime products. I’m glad I ordered the larger size as the neighborhood kids are using it too. I called customer service to order a part to replace one my son broke while putting the dome together (he was using too much torque) and the service representative was so helpful, wish I could get that kind of customer service from other companies. Lifetime holds the gold standard in quality of products and customer service for me!

Parts are well marked; instructions very clear. I assembled it by myself, but it was a handful. About a third of the way into assembling it, it becomes rather unwieldy. Having a second person would have helped. Then it gets easier. Pay attention to the shape of the plastic hand grips. They are notched to fit over one of the tubes. They look like both sides are notched the same, but they're not.
