We gave this to our daughters for Christmas last year and did not regret it. It's been a constant source of enjoyment since. It was easy to put together (time consuming, but the instructions are easy to understand) and it still looks brand new after four months of weather and sprinklers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's a cheap way to bring more entertainment for your children to your backyard.

Picked this Climbing Dome up as a surprise for my two kids and couldn't be happier with the end result. The dome is incredibly sturdy - no concerns around multiple kids playing on it at the same time. Setup wasn't hard, but a little tedious, as the dome is shipped as a whole bunch of individual bars. The instruction manual made sense, but BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE MANUAL before you begin - we got caught once or twice and had to back track, but overall, two of us got it built in a little over an hour. Lastly, you will want a 1/2" ratchet with an extender for the plastic caps that go on at the end. If I had one complaint, it's that every bar is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve, which felt rather wasteful. Overall, this is a fantastic product. My kids (and a couple of neighbourhood dads) haven't left it alone since we built it three days ago!

It looks bigger in the picture than it actually is I bought it for my grandchilds 6th birthday and she likes it OK but I could have gotten her something much better for the price. It was easy to put together and it would be really fun for a 3 or 4 yr old.So bottom line is it's great for a 3 or 4 yr old. Not big enough for all of the kids that they show in the picture. It is pretty sturdy and not hard to put together. So far it looks like it will hold up well however we have only had it a month and it has not been used much. Summer is here and the kids will be using it more so we will find out then. It does add a more "kids playground" look to my backyard and I'm fine with that.

It's everything I expected, my 4 year old loves it. The size is perfect, even for my 7 year old niece. My husband is very handy, and he put it together without too much time and frustration- but used a regular wrench and an impact wrench, rather than the tools it came with. If you are not that handy, make sure to just give yourself a little extra time. Overall, totally worth the money- a great addition to our backyard.

Purchased this dome 11 months ago. Assembled it only four months ago. Upon assembly, noticed that the powder coat on one bar was bubbled in one spot. That spot rusted within days of assembly. I submitted a warranty claim to Lifetime. I received a reply in 24 hrs, confirming that they would be sending a replacement bar and touch up paint. The replacement part arrived shortly after. I would not hesitate to buy another Lifetime product. Highly, highly recommend this company! The dome itself is super sturdy and the colors are bright and fun. A+

After purchasing the earthtone swing set and Adventure Tower Deluxe, we had to get this awesome climbing dome. I mean, come on...it matches! Plus, our kids love it and it gives them one more fun thing to do outside instead of making bigger messes in our house.

By Worlds Greatest Mom from Minnesota on 5/27/2009 Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. My 2 children LOVE the dome and play on it everyday. It is very sturdy, directions were easy to follow and my kids like having something that no one else has. I will buy from the company again!

This was fairly simple to put together, holds up to 400lbs so all the kids can get on it, and seems extremely sturdy. It does take at least 2 people to put together (3 would make it even easier) and needs to be on a pretty level surface when assembling. It took us one afternoon to assemble the entire dome. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I wish that it didn't have the "rock" hand grips. It makes it difficult for a child to sit on the top once they get up there because the hand grip is right in the middle where they would sit. It isn't something that would prevent me from buying again, but they are still in the way and my kids have already asked if they can be removed (they can not be removed and MUST be put on-if they are not put on you will have long screws sticking out all over the climber). Over all it is a great climber at a great price, at least it was a great price when I bought it, and for the price I would buy it again.

We actually bought two of these. One for us and one for a friend. My friends was fine, but our box had a tear in it. We discovered that all of the bolts were missing. I went to customer service and looked for a way to order and purchase a new set. I bought the item with an open box, so I figured it was my fault for not double checking. I received an email the next business day stating that they shipped all new bolts for free. Wow! Not what I was expecting. They were wonderful!!

The dome is super sturdy. My two kids and I have been on it together. I love the colors of it. Looks nice in our yard. My kids are three and five and climb all over it. It is tall enough that they will be able to hang from it for years. Fast shipping.
