We bought our Dome Climber in the Spring of 2014. We had purchased a "driveway basketball net" for our granddaughter, and the insert advertised this Dome Climber. I was excited, because I had been wanting to add another piece of equipment to our backyard, because my granddaughter was out growing our swing set! But I hadn't found anything appropriate, until I saw the Dome Climber! I ordered it immediately and I have never regretted it. The Dome Climber has held up well, even with Ohio's crazy weather. Because it has low and high bars, it is great fun for children of all ages. My granddaughter 11 yrs. old,climbs up and sits on the top. My 7 yr. old grandson swings back and forth, climbs all around the bars on the outside, and hangs upside down. My 2-1/2 year old grandson hangs from the bars, when his Daddy helps him. He walks in and out of it, and will soon be climbing like his older cousins. We've clothes pinned sheets over it and turned it into a playhouse a few times. Even my Service Dog, a tall black Labrador, enjoys walking in and out of it, and sometimes lays in the middle to rest. I have never been happier with any other playground equipment we have ever purchased. We bought the "earthtone" because at the time, my grandson was into G.I.Joe & camouflage. He loved the color right away! I am so happy that your basketball hoop for the driveway had a flyer in the box advertising this awesome Dome Climber! It is well-built for children of all ages and it's made very safe! The hand and foot holds strategically placed, help the children climb and also keep the joints covered where the climber is screwed together, bar by bar! It came with easy to follow directions, and all the parts were in the box, even all the hardware. It is the very best piece of backyard playground equipment we have ever purchased. Honestly!! We all love it.

Purchased this through Costco a little over a month ago. Set it up a week ago took a little while approximately 3 hours instructions were not clear about direction to put screws in as diagrams were vague and not very descriptive. My children loved it made my 4 year old son so proud when he could climb to the top and my little girl played house in it. It was prefect for our yard and due to the current situation with COVID-19 and all playground being closed we were so happy they had it to climb on. This evening received an email from Costco explaining that the manufacturer used extensive amount of Barium in the paint which can cause adverse health effects and the product has been RECALLED. We are to take it apart and dispose of the product. We were advised that we will receive a refund for the purchase. But my children have now had everything taken away school playgrounds, friends,family and now their beloved climber talk about an emotional heart break for my 2 and 4 year old kids. I now am scrambling to find something good quality to replace this as my children are going to be heart broken when I take it down, and have to throw it away. If i was told about this recall 2 weeks prior there would not have been an issue the children would not have known about it, and there would not be the emotional trauma that this will cause them. I wish Lifetime had done more prior to selling the product, for example test for the adverse chemicals in their products prior to them being sold. Just disappointed with the whole situation and really left in the dark as i am unable to speak with any sales rep. would not recommend this product obviously. also all other geo climbers are currently out of stock does not help the situation. I am currently bracing myself for a lot of tears and heart break in the coming days.

I have several grandkids from 2 - 7 years old and this has been a wonderful addition to the farm!! They can play on it, swing from it or play in the chip gravel underneath it with their trucks and toys. I have wanted to get them one for quite awhile but didn't realize Walmart.com carried them until a friend told me!! Very well constructed for lots of fun!!

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.

My daughter discovered this climber at a friends house. She pretty much spent the entire party dangling and climbing. Before I knew it the climber was purchased and set up on our lawn where it continues to be climbed upon. It's now the go to toy for both kids (5 and 2). I would not hesitate to recommend This and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

We've had this for a few weeks now, my kids love it, perfect with being locked down at home. This is very strong and the rock climbing grips are a perfect addition. I even got cool Mom points hanging upside down from it with my kids lol. Took my husband about 3 hours to put it together alone.

This dome took a while to put together, because we had set it up on a slight slope and the weight on the low end kept causing the bars not to fit right. I recommend trying to find a very level spot in your yard first. Once it is together, moving it is fairly simple, my 19 year old son did that for us. As for the quality it is excellent, this looks like something you would see at a park. It easily held all 4 of my children at once, and 2 of them are nearing 20! It was also much larger than I expected, and that was nice! I purchased the green and brown and am pleased with the colors.

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!
