This is a very sturdy climber. The directions were easily followed and my husband was able to assemble it himself until he needed my help just to hold pieces together while building the top layer. We installed our climber on a thick lawn and I was worried that we would need some sort of anchors to keep it in place, but it is very heavy and so we have had no problems with it being unstable. I can hang all of my weight off of one side of it to deliberately try to tip it over and it doesn't budge. It is a little large for my 4 year old grandson now, but with supervision and a small stool he is able to pull himself up, hang from the bars and drop to the ground safely (sticks the landing!). The metal bars don't get too hot to hold in the Colorado sunshine and they are easily gripped due to the coating. No problem giving this dome 5 stars!

Materials are excellent. Directions lacking. With help, took an experinced mechanic/builder five and a half hours to put together. Very satisfied with final product and it was an immediate success with five year old grandson. He never seemed to tire of discovering the many things he could do on the dome. Would strongly recommend to friends getting gift for "five-somethings". Adhesive on the bar labels should be water soluable or at least not as durable as the one used. The finish on the bars appears to be rust-resistent but would be destroyed if the labels were scraped off. This and the instructions are the only things I would change in this wonderful product.

I put this up with only the help of my nine-year-old grandson and, although somewhat of a challenge, we were able to do it after I got off work before dark. This was due almost entirely to the instructions being "spot on." As instructions go these days, that is a nice compliment, and the children love it.

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!

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.

My husband put this together by himself and it was time consuming but not difficult. We both really like the hand grips positioned at the intersections of the bars, it makes climbing so much easier for our 7 and 3 year old granddaughters. It's not so high as to be frightening when smaller children get to the top. Our "girls" love it as do we so total thumbs up from us!

The kids just love it!

Assembly instructions were somewhat confusing. Example dark colors in the instructions were actually the light colors in the parts. Color photographs would be extremely helpful for assembly.

It is awesome when you have an excellent response, that overcomes your expectations, and your first think is that in that company work excellent people and you would like to be part of it
