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.

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!

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

I bought this in November last year. My grandkids love it and I think it has made them stronger. It is built so strong you can try to shake it but it does not move at all. I got the earth tone one which looks great. I would have definitely rated it a 5 but 2 of all 4 different bars have rusted after about 1 - 2 months. We live in FL and it wasn't during rainy season. None of the rest have rusted.

We ordered this for our son's 3rd birthday. Unfortunately he will have to be a bit taller before he can get up on to it. The good side of that is that he is not going to outgrow it any time soon. It seems very sturdy and our 11-year-old daughter and her friends have climbed all over it. It wasn't too hard to put together but the instructions say it can be assembled by 2 adults; we found it took 2 people to hold the pieces in place while a third person added more pieces. So plan on at least 3 adults working for a couple of hours to get it all together.

Walmart staff helped load into my minivan. The dome was perfect, paint was perfect, all pieces included and wrapped and labeled. The instructions are easy enough. It took me a total of about 3 hours maybe 3.5 but I worked on it over two days alone. I watched a youtbe video first, it didn't show much detail as far as the layout of the ends of the bars, but the instructions did. When you put the hand holds on make sure you fit then with the slightly narrower end toward the end of the bar - you will know when you set them on. Kids love it, I have two 9 year olds and a 5 year old.
