Was a little rough to put together but the steel is powder coated to keep from getting too warm. It is very sturdy and the kiddos can climb, swing, do flips etc. You can move it around on the grass so no wear spots and easy mowing. Put a sprinkler under on a warm day and watch the fun. Sturdy enough for me to be able to play as well. Super purchase!!

Picked this up a week ago from the site to store. Got it home and my husband and I put it together in about 2 hours. Just one tip: don't tighten the screws all the way, until it is all put together, you will see why I say this as you put yours together. The kids came home from school and were thrilled about having it to play on. The only con that I see is I wish it were a bit bigger. Having my three children ages 9, 6, and 4 playing on it at the same time they need more space to play.

We have 4 children ages 4-9 and they love this climber. It took them a few days but now they are all able to climb up by themselves. It is not too high so they can all jump off without hurting themselves. There is still plenty of room when all 4 of them are on it together. I love that the earth colors blend in with the grass and tree so it does not stand out too much. Great way for them to get exercise without even knowing it!

This is NOT rust proof and it DOES chip and peel. We bought this about a year ago. Within about 5 mos., there were two pieces that were showing rust in small areas. Not there are four pieces that have rust advancing like a fungus would grow and spread. Our children have loved the climber itself and their friends in the neighborhood have enjoyed it, also. Great for kids across ages. They all find a way to hang and climb at whatever size/ability they have. You can argue that we should have gotten out there sooner and treated it to stop the rust, but the product says rust-proof so you can't blame us. We WILL treat it with Rust-O-Leum, but we have very busy lives; one more thing for us to do that we should not have to do. We also paid $100 more for it than WalMart is now charging. I am looking for our paperwork to see if the company will send us new parts to replace; I am doubtful that treating will stop the rusting altogether.

My husband and I spent about two hours one Saturday afternoon assembling the dome climber with little trouble. We found what worked best for us was to lay everything out the way it would be assembled before actually attaching everything. Our only complaint was for the instructions to have a little more detail rather than just a few words and two large pictures. Once it was assembled, we tightened all the joint pieces for my added piece of mind. Moving it from our driveway to the backyard wasn't that difficult either so I don't feel you have to assemble exactly where you plan on your kids climbing. We had talked about purchases some anchors to keep it in place in case of high winds, but we have yet to do so.

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.

We were missing 2 climbing rocks from this dome we bought secondhand. I contacted customer service and they are sending me the 2 missing rocks for free. This is such amazing customer service. They were prompt in response to my email and to boot sending product for free. I am so grateful and I will be sure to look at other potential products!

Debated between this or a swing set. Chose this for the smaller footprint but the kids have more fun with this than a swing set. One slight problem was one, and only one, of the bars had the finish bubble up at seven months and then rust started to form.I contacted customer service and got an immediate response. I was reminded that their one year warranty does not cover rust, but they are going to send a replacement part anyway.

This dome was very easy to put together. All the pieces were in the box and the instructions were very easy to follow. I put this together over 2 days and spent a total of about 4.5 hours (at a very leisurely pace). I am a single mother and did this by myself! While it suggests building with two people and would probably cut the time in half, you can do this yourself. For the price, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for another outdoor activity to keep the kids busy.

We love our new dome climber! Our boys were super impressed with the size and it keeps them entertained and exercising during this quarantine. We love that it can hold so much weight, making it perfect once we can have friends over to visit. My husband assembled it himself fairly easily and only needed my help a couple times to help hold some of the bars up while he screwed them together. We would highly recommend it.
