Nice little dome. Wouldn't be too much fun for bigger kids because it is not quite big enough. My daughter likes it and she also plans to throw quilts over it for a clubhouse at times. She doesn't use the handholds to climb but they are there for those that would want to.

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!

It took a while to undertand the instructions; once we got the pattern going, it went smoothly. Our grandkids are enjoying it and it is made of durable material so they will be climbing for years to come. Wished we had purchased the Fort canvas also.

I bought this climber about a month ago. It arrived a week sooner than forecast. I was impressed with the quality of the components and the packaging. I found it easy to assemble by myself. When complete, it is 10 ft across at the base and just over 5 ft tall in the center. We placed it on a section of lawn. The only concern I have, being a retired engineer and metal fabricator, is that it must be lifted to be moved for mowing. Otherwise one can bend the lower joint which would fail eventually. Small metal braces, about 1 1/2 in wide and 4 in long, for both sides of the joint would be helpful.

I was a bit afraid at the thought of putting this together myself - but it came together great, is VERY sturdy, my 5 year old AND my 17 year old both love this climber....and it can do double duty as a fort, the "jail" in games, a secret place, etc....the directions could be a bit more clear, but overall I actually put it together myself...and yes, I am a female. Putting it together with 2 people would be easier though :-) Great value, great toy, should provide fun for years to come - better than the typical swing/slide scenario.

This does not have enough low bars for little ones to climb onto. The first bar they can reach is chest level. There needs to be another lower bar as a step. My little 3 and 4 year old visitors cant reach, so they dont use it. This was rated for their age.

High quality and easy to assemble (with help). But children being children, they swore they would love it endlessly and promptly abandoned it after the first week. While it occasionally gets use as a structure upon which they hang whatever ungodly items they pilfer from our recycling bin, or a seemingly nice place for them to string up the pulled apart pieces of their baby brother’s basketball hoop, it’s mostly become a great focal piece of the backyard. An ode to the endlessly fruitless cycle that is attempting to throw money at the pursuit of creating beautiful outdoor childhood memories for creatures who would rather spend their free time regaling you with how utterly bored they are. I think someday I’ll turn it into a hobbit house themed wine sipping dome.

I wanted something other than the typical swing set and I wanted to encourage climbing and creativity in the play. When I saw the climbing dome made by lifetime I ordered confident in the quality as I own other lifetime products. I’m glad I ordered the larger size as the neighborhood kids are using it too. I called customer service to order a part to replace one my son broke while putting the dome together (he was using too much torque) and the service representative was so helpful, wish I could get that kind of customer service from other companies. Lifetime holds the gold standard in quality of products and customer service for me!

A gift for my grandchildren, they love it. Took about 2 hours to assemble. The children are almost 3 and almost 5. Both love it. I wanted something they would both enjoy and they love climbing and jumping off it. The price was great compared to other stes.

This product is AWESOME, with the exception of the height of the triangles. It's recommended for 3+ and there is no way 3 year old could climb the triangles without assistance. They are larger than they look in the picture. My son is a very tall kid and he can't can't climb it. However my nieces, 7 & 10, LOVE it and they will have plenty more years on it! Assembly wasn't too bad either.
