Ordered this for my twins 5th birthday. It arrived when expected, thought I did pay the $5 for it to arrive a week early instead of the free shipping. FedEx delivered it in good condition. Took me about 3-4 hours to put it together, but it should have taken a lot less time. I consider myself very good at putting things like this together. Most things I buy where the reviews say it's hard to assemble I tend to plow right through without issue. This was an exception. It's very well made, and the quality of the product is not the issue, but rather the directions. I think the person who wrote them might have very little experience in writing directions. They are very unclear in that they want you to assemble five different assemblies in the first step, but don't make it clear at all. So you assemble one assembly and then move on to the next few steps but don't realize it (because they only show a picture of 1/3 of the product) until you get a few pages along. Then you realize you have to go back, disassemble what you spent the last 45 min assembling, and assemble the other four assemblies and then continue where you left off. Other than the directions being written by a child, it's a great product. Order it, just beware of this in the first step and you should be good.

Buyer beware! This outdoor climbing structure does not last long when used outdoors. Our structure has completely rusted on the bars and joints, I have to throw it away as it is no longer safe for my children to use. Waste of money, will not be purchasing from Lifetime again.

This is the second LIFETIME product that we purchased. This was a bit more challenging to put together. The directions, being unclear, kind of shook us up a little when we were at the point of connecting the 2 halves together. But we just loosened one set of connecting points and were able to finish. It is well balanced and held five of us( 3 children and 2 adults). I would recommend this highly.

Recently did a 10X8 Lifetime shed and one of the playsets. Found the Geo Climber and figured if it would "round off" the play area outside. Every bit as well built as the shed and playset. Put this together in about an hour on my own and it is easy to move around. Kids love it and I have had a blast on it too!! Lifetime products has a Lifetime customer. Kayaks next on the list.

I meant for my kids to use this as a climbing aparatus but it has a tarp over it most days and makes for a great fort! The boys have lots of fun in their boys only club house. The hand grips are great and also have multiple uses, such as strapping bungee cords across to hold hostages during battles, or hanging "no girls allowed" signs. This turned out to be a great investment both for me (keeps them busy for long stretches of time) and for my kids.

I would definitely recommend this climber. It is very sturdy and the price is extremely reasonable. The grandchildren, ages 3-11 are having a great time on it. They use it for climbing, doing tricks and they even make a tent by throwing a tarp over it. One evening after dark, they had movie night in the tent after their dad rigged up the TV screen and put rope lights around the top. Add blankets, pillows, popcorn and it made for a very cozy night "under the stars."

I have to admit, the climber is built better than I thought it would be. Not sure about the six hundred pound limit, but I weigh 300 and it held me easily when I tested it. It took me and my 10 year old about 1 1/2 hours to put together following the directions. I did not follow the directions when assembling the green five arm pieces. It said to tighten them, I left them barely loose. Then after everything was assembled, lifted the climber up to align it, then tightened all the bolts. I read a review that said the climber was hard to move around for mowing. If you move it by lifting one side up and drag it, I do not think it will last very long. If you get inside and pick it up by pushing up in the top center, I think this climber will last for a very long time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this 3 years ago for Mother's Day!! It is amazing and has held up beautifully. We don't take it down for the winter, and you would never know!! It super easy to pull it around so you can mow under it...that was super important for my husband. My kids love it and are always climbing on it. I've even had my sisters who have graduated from high school climbing on it with the kids!

My kids got this for Christmas! They love it! I know this will provide years of fun! It is sturdy and well built. And I love anything that keeps my kids active and outside. It took my husband a couple hours by himself to build this but would be eaiser with an extra hand. (He is very handy so may be more difficult for someone who is not handy) I am very impressed with this product it is definitely worth every penny spent!

We love our new dome climber! Our boys were super impressed with the size and it keeps them entertained and exercising during this quarantine. We love that it can hold so much weight, making it perfect once we can have friends over to visit. My husband assembled it himself fairly easily and only needed my help a couple times to help hold some of the bars up while he screwed them together. We would highly recommend it.
