This is a wonderful idea. I purchased this for my 4 yr old and as soon as my son and brother saw it they had to get one for thier children. All the neighbor children play in my yard now. I would highly recommend this product and any other product endorced by this company!!!

The perfect complement to our Lifetime swing set.  Same color scheme and everything.  Easy to put together (doable by yourself, but easier with a partner).  Sturdy.  Holds all 240 of me without issue.  Thoughtful placement of grips make the climbing dome safe to explore.  Neither of my kids are bit enough to get to the top on their own, but they've both found lots of ways to climb and hang.  A great piece of equipment to grow with.  

Bought this 2 years ago and my girls really enjoy playing on it. Even had a cow crawl through the fence and into the middle of it which bent it a bit but able to unbend easily does require a little wiggling at the end of moving it to mow around. The girls have lots of fun and so do the neighbors that are 12+ years old.

We bought this 5 years ago. It was kind of a pain to assemble, but lots of big stuff is so no big deal. It seemed it kind of bent easily whenever we moved it around to mow under it but sturdy when the kids were on it. After 5 years it's already rusty on the parts that touch the ground, and some other places. The bigger issue? As we tried to take it apart to move it to our new house, all the allen head screws stripped. No way to get them out. Already tried all the hacks, got a screw extractor set that won't work because they're Allen head screws rather than regular ones. The bars are now bent and cracking where we got a few pieces taken apart from the pressure of not being supported. The whole thing is now trash. Really expensive toy for only 5 years of use. And we have 5 young kids all upset that we have to throw it away.

Bought the dome climber along with the swingset. It was a little bit of a hassle putting together just because of the ackwardness of the shape. It did take an extra two people to help hold the opposite sides as I was working on the other to help hold the bars together to put the bolts on it. It went up very quickly this way too. Other than that, my only complaint is that it is way to big for my 3 yr old to enjoy. She get her legs up on the first bar but that is about it. Also the paint on the bars is very slippery.

The idea is nice, but after 2 months I still haven't assembled the darn thing. The bolts are way too short, the bars can't be put flat on top of each other, it's extremely difficult to put together, nothing wants to stay in place or come together. The low bolts are 1/2" TOO SHORT, there's no space for washers there when hand aligned, there's barely any space to even put a washer on... Extremely laborious and frustrating to put together. I've remodeled 3 houses in the last 2 years, and this is by far the most challenging task I ever had to do. Kudos to 400+ reviewers who put it together, you guys are my heroes, I don't have the nerves for this garbage.

I purchased the dome climber for my granddaughters to play on when they visit. It just happened to be delivered one day before a birthday. The party for her friends was at my house and there were about 20 kids there. All of them gave it the thumbs up!!!

Once its up, its a great dome but getting it together was a nightmare! You really need three people to assemble it and the way the screws go in is diabolical! Apparently this could have been done much easier if they used a different type of screw. Kids love it now that its up but when i have to get rid of it, instead of going through the nightmare of taking it apart, I think I'll just melt it down.  Seriously. Whoever designed this should really have put the thing together themselves because its totally obvious they didnt!!!!  All I can say is make sure you are putting the impossible to screw in screws in the right way!

I bought this for my twin 4 year old grand kids and they love it. It is just the right size for them to use. It took about 2 and 1/2 hours for my daughter and I to put together - directions were just a little confusing - but it really was pretty easy.. I would recommend this for anyone with little kids who like to climb.

We had a geodesic when our children were young, so we bought this one for our grandchildren. They loved it, first with climbing and then with a cover over it, it became a kitchen, puppy house, etc. I read all the reviews before ordering, so I knew it was not going to be easy to assemble. I read all the instructions the night before - hi-liting key steps. We were making good progress then we hit a deadend. We stopped and took a break while I figured out where we went wrong. The rest went fine and we were pleased to quickly finish the dome and add the handholds. If you are considering a swing set, I would recommend the dome climber. A swing requires an adult to constantly be pushing young children. With the dome climber children are able to amuse themselves. We are pleased with it. It is very sturdy and our grandkids enjoyed it. We look forward to their next visit.
