This is a great toy for young kids with many health benefits. It can also act as a tent when you cover it with sheets. We had to go out and buy 1/4 inch longer bolts in order to be able to fasten the final blue length around the bottom. Love love love the geodesic dome by lifetime.

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.

We ordered both the Big Stuff Swing Set and Climbing Dome together. Both were shipped together and both were confirmed as delivered together but in reality only the swing set arrived. I called Lifetime and was on hold for thirty minutes before connecting with a human. The rep I spoke with recommended I call the freight company directly as she would have to “jump through a lot of hoops” and it would take some time. I called the freight company directly and they confirmed our delivery came up short per their manifest. They said they would try to track it down across the three different hubs it passed through on its way to us. All told it took about an hour on the phone with two different companies. Who wants to do that? The following day Lifetime called and confirmed the dome had gone missing. They offered to resend it but it would take over a month in a best case scenario as it’s back ordered. I requested they cancel the order and credit us the funds, which I was told would take several weeks. I get wait times are long nowadays and things get lost but I was so disappointed that no apology or regret was conveyed. Maybe I expected better customer service ordering from an American company but a simple “we’re really sorry this happened” would have gone a long way.

I just set it up with my 5 year old daughter and it took 3 hours. It was a lot of fun to work with her on setting it up. It is definitely helpful having an extra set of hands. This is a great climbing structure for the backyard during the Global Pandemic!

This item is great my daughter and her friends love it. But I would have to say the assembly party is much more difficult then it reads to be and many of the pieces were bent the wrong which made it difficult to assemble. This also takes at least 2-3 peoe to assemble not just one person. But once complete it's great!

Just like all products we have purchased from Lifetime this one is excellent. Large and well crafted. Make sure at least two adults are available for set up. It took my wife and I about 30imites to assemble. Our children as well as the neighborhood kids love it. We look forward to covering it with a parachute in the summer for a cool fort!

By far the dumbest thing I've ever purchased. Not only was it impossible to follow the directions the last few steps where WRONG. Now that its together my grand-daughter really enjoys it but I still don't. I cant move it about the yard to mow because while it has good strength for climbing on it has NO horizontal rigidity so I cant slide it from one part of the lawn to another to mow and you can not roll it over without it wanting to collapse on itself. Ideally it NEEDS cables linking the bottom corners to the opposite sides to make it so that you can slide it and or roll it. I wish we didn't buy it and I wish my grand daughter didn't enjoy it so much. This would be ideal for a stationary installation.

Sturdy, holds a lot of weight, kids love it. Ours are 5 & 2. Cousins are 3, 4, 7,and 9. Everyone has had a blast. Even the adults play on it. Worth every penny. Took 2 of us about 2 hours to out together. Pay attention to the letters on the peices. We got a couple mixed up & taking it back apart was interesting as we went. All in all, would buy again & recommend!

A lifesaver for these corona days! My active kids ages 3 to 12 enjoy this so much. Took my husband a couple hours to put together but easy instructions. Its moveable so when we need to mow the lawn, we can. Best part was free shipping and delivered to our door so we didnt have to bring it home (its very heavy). Its.s extremely sturdy and has already withstood a couple heavy storms. I hope it lasts a long time.

First, we have had this climbing dome for years and it is my kids favorite toy. The little kids love it and so do the big kids and it still looks just as nice as the first day we got it. The other day I went outside and noticed that one of the bottom bars had broken (it had been bent funny when being moved and snapped near the joint). Lifetime immediately sent out a new bar replacement free of charge! We are so happy with this product.
