This piece of equipment is very professional and strong. There is no fear in having multiple children (or even an adult or two) climbing it. It is very sturdy. It is also easy to move if you still want to be able to mow the grass beneath it or don't necessarily want to keep it in one place. It also looks great. It blends in and is not an eyesore due to the natural coloring.

I bought a dome climber to match our Lifetime swing set. My grandchildren are ages 8 and younger. All the children 2 and older are loving this dome. They come up with creative ways to play, and it is fun to put a tarp or blanket over it and make a castle, clubhouse, etc. (I plan to get the Lifetime cover as well.) I worried the little ones would fall through and hurt themselves, but it seems to be engineered so that those who can climb high are strong enough to hold on and swing down, while those I would worry about are not quite able to climb high enough to be in danger. The instructions were very clear--it probably would have taken one helpful son-in-law 1 1/2 to 2 hours to put it together alone, but it took 3 hours with his team of very young "helpers." It is easy to move. Of course, it looks great and is very sturdy and well made, like all Lifetime products I have tried. No nicks or chips--it is just a fine product.

We have had the dome climber for several years and my son loves it. Recently, a branch fell on it during a bad storm so I contacted the company requesting a replacement strut to replace the broken one. They sent it free of charge. That’s good customer service!

My daughter loves this play set. It took 2 people about 1.5 hours setting up. We could have gotten done sooner but didn't feel like busting butt. The colors are ok. I would have liked the green and brown but they are always sold out. In a few years I will probably spray paint it. Would buy again.

The assembly does take a little while. Not difficult but time consuming. I found hand tightening worked best until the entire unit was assembled because it is more forgiving at getting the angles just right. Then I tightened everything down before putting on the hand grabs. There were a few sections I had to read twice but overall Lifetime does a good job differentiating parts and providing images. A slightly deeper 1/2 socket worked well also since the screw is long as you tighten down the bolt. We have the matching swing set also so this was a good addition to the yard.

My kids LOVE this!!! They are 7 & 10 and it is a perfect fit. I was worried that it wouldn't be a good size for my 10 year old, seeing the recommended age, but it is perfect. I was glad that I read the reviews before I bought it, as it helped me with the assembling of it. DO NOT tighten completely before you finish, as you have to keep adding pieces. It took me 2 hours to put together, myself and my 2 kids. It is perfect for them as they are really to big for the little slides and swings that come with a swing set. Would definately recommend!!!

My kids love the dome and it's VERY sturdy!! The only issue was assembly! We were short a few nuts and had to omit them. The instructions are very vague and hard to follow. We ended up looking at the picture on the box and putting it together our own way. If you buy this, good luck! Deep breaths and take your time lol

We just received it and my husband just finished putting it together. The instructions are not very good, but it is well worth the money and is good quality. Our grandchildren had a fit over it. One star taken away for the instructions. Four thumbs up!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this about 5 years. This is still standing strong and sturdy. For several years my kids hung a swing from the top, and they found that real fun. The only issue is that it's heavy when I drag it so I can mow under it. Wait is being solid and heavy a bad thing?

My kids have loved having this in our backyard! It is very sturdy and strong enough that even my adult self has climbed on it without a problem. The instructions were overall pretty clear, and the pieces and hardware were nicely labeled. Our only issue with setting it up was that when tightening a bolt, it snapped. Lucky they give you one extra! However, even after being super careful because of that first snap we still had 2 others snap on us. Nothing that a quick trip to Home Depot couldn't solve, but beware with the tightening! It was tricky getting the snapped bolt pieces out of the holds. One thing to note, the metal bars on this get very hot sitting out in the desert sun. My kids can't play on it during the day, as it will burn them.
