Bigger than I thought, but good. Was a pain to put together. We missed a crucial step (repeat this step 4x) that was in small print at bottom of page. So we were stumped on directions for about 45 min. Went quicker after realizing and backtracking. Took about 3 hours with me and hubby. I wanted something that all 3 of our kids could use (ages 12, 6 and 2). Our 2 and a half year old doesn't get the full use of it like my older kids too since she can only hang on lower bars and climb under, but it fits the bill. They can even use like a fort/jail. Need at least 2 to move for mowing lawn. Great alternative for swing set.

I ordered this climbing dome for my two granddaughters, ages 5 and 7. It arrived at my daughter's house very quickily and the shipping was free! My husband and I assembled the dome in three hours. The directions were good, though it's somewhat confusing to assemble. Try to put the joints together in the proper order as the directions say. The hand grips, which are put on last, have indentations for the metal bars and if the pieces were put on in a different order, the hand grips don't line up as well. We got most of the bars on in the proper order but not all. In the end, though, we were still able to tighten the hand grips well enough, though the ones on those few joints didn't fit quite as snugly to the bars. The girls really love this climber. It's very sturdy and well made. Very good purchase!

Bought this for my great niece. Had item shipped to Wal Mart store where my niece and her boyfriend could pick it up and bring it home. The box arrived in good shape. UPS sent Amazon order back because pieces were missing when box opened(so they say. They never attempted delivery). So on the second attempt we tried Wal Mart site to store. Be aware this box weighs 100 lbs. so think twice having it shipped to your home. Item is not packaged well for such a journey. Well, after it was put together my great niece was a little tentative at first. They had to use a stool to have her reach the bar. Well that didn't last long, now she climbs all over with no help. It has been keeping her amused for hours right in her own backyard. She will have fun for a long time. I'm glad her grandpa and I chipped in the buy it for her. Money well spent. Highly recommend!!!

This product is fantastic! We bought this for Christmas for our son and he is loving it. The dome is very sturdy, holds several children, and was easy to assemble. It took my husband a few hours to complete on his own and he only needed another set of hands a few times. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

The direction were so-so, not impossible to figure out, but some parts could have been a little clearer. Took my husband a couple of hours to put together. Once it was up, my 3 and 5 year old were all over it. My 10 year old even plays on it sometimes. Very sturdy. All three of my kids will play on it at the same time. My 3 year old likes to climb on EVERYTHING, and this gives him somewhere to do it without getting in trouble!

My wheelchair bound 6yr old grandson is going to have surgery in Jan to straighten both his legs. Hopefully he'll soon be able to stand & maybe even walk on his own. His doctor said a jungle gym like this would be good for his future therapy providing him with a fun way to exercise. Now he has something to look forward to

I have three nieces that absolutely love this climber - its great for the backyard and keeps them and their friends busy climbing for hours. Good construction but there are a lot of pieces- cannot be avoided but just be aware of that if you are assembling it yourself.

My seven year old cannot get enough of this climber! I managed to build it with the help of my kiddo and two metal patio chairs, so if you are solo parenting this thing, it can be done! We managed to lose some of the handhold parts, and Lifetime sent us replacements quickly and for free. Great item and terrific customer service. Highly recommend!

My daughter is just about to turn 3 and she loves climbing it. She’s a bit young for it, but give her a few more months and she won’t need help climbing it. Loved that it was made in America. Was able to access video instructions on YouTube or use written instructions and bare were labeled. Only wish/change for manufacturer would be to have a colored diagram versus black-and-white. Otherwise we are super happy with it! Gonna put a small swing on the inside if it or hammock for her to relax on.

After years of moving the dome around my yard to mow the lawn, a few of the metal tubes began to deteriorate (rust, bending at connection points). I contacted Lifetime and they instantly shipped me replacement pieces at no cost. I really appreciate the customer service.
