The package arrived a week earlier than estimated. The box was in tact and had a complete set of all the hardware. It was easy for my husband to put it together alone for most of the assembly. As another reviewer recommended, he didn't tighten the screws until the end because each level builds on top of the lower level. It's very well designed and very sturdy. The first evening it had my 3 boys plus 2 neighbor's boys on it immediately. They had a blast! I'm excited to have this just in time for the summer. With 3 active boys ages 4, 5 1/2 and 8, this is the perfect activity to keep them happy for hours.

Warning: You may not love your kids enough to assemble this thing. Mine is going to be returned, so I suppose I don't. Full disclosure: I do love my kids. But after several attempts to get this thing together, I'm throwing in the towel. My main problems are with the cheap quality of the pieces (the thinner parts bend quite easily) and the abysmal way the pieces are labeled with their part numbers. The build quality was way cheaper than I expected from a Lifetime product. With two people trying to assemble the unit, the spans bent very, very easily near the points where they are secured together. This problem was exacerbated after disassembling the unit several times, because... The stickers with the part numbers for the spans are placed right where the spans rub together when you're assembling the unit. The stickers very quickly rub off, so that you can no longer read the part number. This makes it impossible to reassemble the unit, because there are at least two different part types that are completely indistinguishable from one another, so they cannot be identified without the part number. And so, we gave up. We own quite a few Lifetime products (tables, chairs, Wiggle Racers, an Airplane Teeter Totter, etc.), and we've never been this dissatisfied.

I recommend throwing away the instructions! There were 3 of us putting this together and it was extremely difficult doing it as it is instructed. We then looked at the picture on the box and had it completed in no time. It is of such great quality! Extremely sturdy! I have had a 5 yr old, 6 yr old, 12 yr old, and 15 yr old on it at the same time and there was plenty of room for each of them to sit or hang upside down. I am very pleased with this product.

It took a while to undertand the instructions; once we got the pattern going, it went smoothly. Our grandkids are enjoying it and it is made of durable material so they will be climbing for years to come. Wished we had purchased the Fort canvas also.

I was really impressed with the instructions. It is complicated to put together because of all the pieces, but soon I got the hang of it because the instructions were so clear. You need at least 2 people to put it together, and 3 is even better. Once put together, it is sturdy and well-built.

This was a dream to put together! The instructions were so clear and the set up was easy. My husband and I put it together in about two hours, taking our time. The quality of the product is sooo nice. It seems like it will last for years. My kids love it. We don't have much backyard space and this is the perfect backyard toy for all my kids, ranging ages 3-8. They would enjoy it if they were younger and I think will continue to use it for years to come.

We love this product. We really wanted one that was welded steel, but there didn't seem to be anything on the market place. We bought this instead and are very happy. We have a 3 year old and 6 year old. The spacing is a little more advanced than we thought, but its great they have something to grow into. Also, they become more adept at it every day. We will see how it holds up over time, we've only had it a week. But for now we are very pleased, especially considering the price.

Bought a Geometric dome climber play center for my grandkids and they have loved it! Some of the bars needed replacement! I called to get prices and Amy at Customer service was friendly and very helpful. When we got all the info, she told me that there would be not charge! WOW! What an unexpected blessing! This will definitely make me order again from your products!

This was by far the worst product I ever spend money on for a outdoor back yard kids play set. Where do I began with this horrible nightmare. To start when I picked this Geo Set up from Walmart the box was shipped in the worst condition you could imagine. Next when I got home to assembly this Geo Dome the direction offer little to no help at all and to top things off, there was a shortage of nuts and bolts. It was also missing about 10 of the climber grips. I would advise you to save your money it's not worth the headache.

I reached out to Lifetime because our climbing dome had been damaged during a storm and a large tree limb bent 8 or 9 tubes. After a little back and forth, sharing pictures and identifying the right tubes, Randy in Customer Service was able to ship out replacement tubes so climbing can continue on in the future. Super responsive. Thank you!
