I am so impressed with how this climber turned out! I bought it for my 3 year old, but it is sturdy enough I feel okay climbing on it too. It is the perfect size and easy enough to move around (with 2 people). Assembly took the 2 of us about 3.5 hours but that was with a toddler running around. We were being extra cautious because we didn't want to have to go back and fix anything but none of the assembly was difficult. If I had to do it by myself I believe I could have but I definitely do recommend having a second person to hold pieces. I am so thrilled with this item and cant wait to really put it to use when the weather gets warmer.

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.

Bought this a year and a half ago for my at the time 10 year old son. set up was a pain, but in the end, a quality product. It has withstood baseball size hail, with no chips, rain, and high winds, snow,ect. Color stayed amazing, no chips, rust,dents, nothing. It stood its ground at 75+ mph winds, on unleveled ground.

I purchased the dome climber for my granddaughters to play on when they visit. It just happened to be delivered one day before a birthday. The party for her friends was at my house and there were about 20 kids there. All of them gave it the thumbs up!!!

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I am out of town so I had this mailed to my 5' 95lb wife. She couldn't move the box so she took it piece by piece to the back yard and built it in less than a 6 hours total... She is great and so is the Dome, kids play on it until it gets too hot to touch... Then back out around 6 pm... I was a little hesitant dumping the project on the wife but she easily completed the dome so single ladies get'er done... Enjoy!

We bought this item for our children ages 9 and 2. We had looked at wooden and metal swing sets and then found this item. I had previously tried to order it online and it was sold out and just recently was available again online. It took about 3 hours to set up(one the previous night with my two children helping and two the next day with my husband helping), the directions weren't 100% acurate on set-up but by looking at the picture and seeing what we had already done it came through. Make sure that you have an extended 1/2 socket wrench(or just plain 1/2" wrench) and the 3/16 allen wrench is included. Do not tighten any of the connections completely until the end. The directions tell you to tighten securely throughout but if you do this you will have to go back and loosen the connections so that you can get everything to fit just right. The bottom connections are a little tricky and it's helpful if you have two people...so that one person can squeeze it together and the other can put the second washer on and thread the locking nut in place. It is very sturdy we all had to try it out after set-up. Both the children can play on it equally even with the seven year difference. Good value for the money. Hope to enjoy for many years.

I primarily purchased this for my 3-year-old, but my older son who just turned 11 has been on it, while my 3-year-old has shown no interest. I am not sure why as he LOVES to climb and swing from every object possible? After assembling the dome climber, I realized it is a pretty good size. It will probably be a while before he can actually climb onto the first bar off the ground. We have had it assembled for less than a week, so I am hoping he will warm up soon. We even put his kiddie pool in the middle underneath today to coax him into exploration. We had zero success with that manipulative move. It is still a GREAT product and whether or not he uses it now, we are pretty certain he will come to love it and play on it for many years to come. The structure is pretty sturdy after assembly and easy to move with a nice added feature of joint bolt covers that double as a climbing fob. There were some technical inconsistencies with this product: instructions, maximum weight, and recommended ages. INSTRUCTIONS: 3 on a scale of 1-10. It is almost easier to figure it out than try to view the illustrations. The gray-scale coloring is inverted on the instructions with the hunter green bars in light shades and the light brown (beige) bars illustrated in the darker shades. This made it confusing when putting the bars together. There were also a few places that were not clear. The instructions do not mention from Step 1 that you will be screwing and unscrewing the nuts SEVERAL times in the main sections. Wal-Mart listing: maximum weight = 600 Product maximum weight listed= 400 (200 pounds off - BIG difference) Wal-Mart recommended ages listed = (3-10) Product box recommended ages = (4-11)

We recntly finished our yard. We put in a lifetime playset, ace flyer, and dome climber. All of the items are in the earthtones colors. My children and all the neighbordhood children love all of the items. I also get a lot of compliments about how nice they look.

My grandchildren will have years of fun on this climber. It was easy to build. the labeling and the directions made it a breeze. Two hours from start to finish. The bars are pretty strong. My 21 yr. old son was climbing and hanging on it and and it holds up just fine, he weighs about 160 lbs.

Ordered this item for my granddaughters in another state. Item arrived as promised and my son had no problem picking it up. It has not been assembled yet due to the snow, but the girls are excited and can hardly wait. It was great being able to order this item from California and having my son pick it up in Colorado.
