The direction were so-so, not impossible to figure out, but some parts could have been a little clearer. Took my husband a couple of hours to put together. Once it was up, my 3 and 5 year old were all over it. My 10 year old even plays on it sometimes. Very sturdy. All three of my kids will play on it at the same time. My 3 year old likes to climb on EVERYTHING, and this gives him somewhere to do it without getting in trouble!

I like the muted earth tones for my natural yard. my son is exploring and learning how to fall like a champ. he took to it immediately, I had to keep him off while I was building it. he's 2 1/2 but a climber already. love it. good quality, and just light enough that i can move it by myself around the yard when desired.

I have three nieces that absolutely love this climber - its great for the backyard and keeps them and their friends busy climbing for hours. Good construction but there are a lot of pieces- cannot be avoided but just be aware of that if you are assembling it yourself.

This dome has been a godsend during this stay at home era. It took a while to get it but it is well worth it. It us colorful and durable. My kids love the height of it and the hand grips. Thank you do much for this equipment. It replaced a plastic dome which lasted a few years when we had toddlers. I should have bought this dome first.

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.

Bought this for my great niece. Had item shipped to Wal Mart store where my niece and her boyfriend could pick it up and bring it home. The box arrived in good shape. UPS sent Amazon order back because pieces were missing when box opened(so they say. They never attempted delivery). So on the second attempt we tried Wal Mart site to store. Be aware this box weighs 100 lbs. so think twice having it shipped to your home. Item is not packaged well for such a journey. Well, after it was put together my great niece was a little tentative at first. They had to use a stool to have her reach the bar. Well that didn't last long, now she climbs all over with no help. It has been keeping her amused for hours right in her own backyard. She will have fun for a long time. I'm glad her grandpa and I chipped in the buy it for her. Money well spent. Highly recommend!!!

After years of moving the dome around my yard to mow the lawn, a few of the metal tubes began to deteriorate (rust, bending at connection points). I contacted Lifetime and they instantly shipped me replacement pieces at no cost. I really appreciate the customer service.

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.

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.

I bought the Climbing Dome for my grandchildren in the UK and after I assembled it I noticed one of the climbing handles had arrived broken. I contacted Lifetime and they are sending a replacement part from the US. Thank you to Adam in Customer Service who dealt with my issue promptly and efficiently. As for the Dome, I used the video and instructions together to build it, it takes longer than an hour to build and make sure you don't get the bars mixed up (I learnt the hard way with 3 of them!) It is very sturdy and the children (7 & 5yrs) love it! I would definitely buy Lifetime again :)
