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.

My seven year old cannot get enough of this climber! I managed to build it with the help of my kiddo and two metal patio chairs, so if you are solo parenting this thing, it can be done! We managed to lose some of the handhold parts, and Lifetime sent us replacements quickly and for free. Great item and terrific customer service. Highly recommend!

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!

What a great toy! We bought this for our daughter's 6th birthday! She is on it everyday after school. It's very easy to put it together if you follow the instructions. It is a LOT easier with two people! There are some awkward moments when an extra hand or two are beneficial. It took us a couple hours but we also were taking care of our 1 year old in the mix of things. We also sprayed it for added protection since ours is in the grass and will get wet more than probably intended to... I am able to move it by myself (Im a petite girl, 5 feet tall) although very awkward so it pretty much stays put unless my husband is home. We can easily move it around together when we need to mow. Our little 1 almost 2 year old loves it almost as much as his older sister. We throw a kids parachute over the top and they play under it like they are camping. It is very good quality and we see it lasting many years. Worth every penny!!!

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.

My daughter loves it! We bought it for her birthday. My dad and I put it together in roughly an hour and a half. We have experience with tools and building things, so time will vary. The dome is very sturdy once the final tightening is done. My brother weighs around 230 lbs. He climbed to the top and nothing moved at all. I really like the finish on the metal as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

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.

I was a bit afraid at the thought of putting this together myself - but it came together great, is VERY sturdy, my 5 year old AND my 17 year old both love this climber....and it can do double duty as a fort, the "jail" in games, a secret place, etc....the directions could be a bit more clear, but overall I actually put it together myself...and yes, I am a female. Putting it together with 2 people would be easier though :-) Great value, great toy, should provide fun for years to come - better than the typical swing/slide scenario.

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.

I bought this climber about a month ago. It arrived a week sooner than forecast. I was impressed with the quality of the components and the packaging. I found it easy to assemble by myself. When complete, it is 10 ft across at the base and just over 5 ft tall in the center. We placed it on a section of lawn. The only concern I have, being a retired engineer and metal fabricator, is that it must be lifted to be moved for mowing. Otherwise one can bend the lower joint which would fail eventually. Small metal braces, about 1 1/2 in wide and 4 in long, for both sides of the joint would be helpful.
