Very sturdy. Assembly: Be sure to follow each step of the directions or you will have to take completely apart and start over. Top will not fit unless everything is in its place. The diamond shapes are not easy for children to climb. They gave up quickly and now it is not something they use.

I received the dome yesterday, It took me just over two hours to assemble it, and it was really easy. I did it by myself. The best advise in assembly is don't tighten any of the screws at all, even when the directions say to do so. It will be easier to line up the bolts and holes, tighten every thing once it's together. You can use vise grip pliers to hold some of the assembly together while completing the circle. It won't take two people if you know how to use the tools and have them handy. I bought it for my granddaughters and I know they're going to love it, It's safe and sturdy and well constructed. I'm really pleased with the results. Bye the way the instructions are simple and easy to read, the only exception is that it instructs to tighten the bolts at different stages which will make assembly much harder, the parts won't line up as easy once they're set in place and you won't be able to adjust them. That's why people find the assembly a little difficult. Best advise in the reviews that I read, was "don't tighten the screws until the assembly is complete" it really works.

My children love this climber! They play on, under and around it for hours. My only complaint is the instructions were not very clear. You definitely need two adults to assemble it. It took my husband and I about 4 hours to assemble it, but it was worth it to see how much fun the children have on it!

This thing is solid and sturdy, and a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Had about 6 kids on it ranging in ages from 4-10 and it held up with no problems whatsoever. Putting it together was a bit of a hassle, took my wife and I a couple hours, but nothing too bad. Overall a very high quality product and the kids love it.

Looks great and my grandkids love it. A little difficult to assemble, but the instructions clearly say two people needed and I assembled it by myself. Personally I like the earth tone colors better than the red and blue model and it was quite a bit cheaper.

For those interested in the Lifetime 66-Inch Climbing Dome I highly suggest following the installation tutorial on Lifetime's YouTube page (extremely helpful). I was able to build the entire dome by myself in a few hours. There were some moments of frustration but if you follow the YouTube tutorial closely you shouldn't have too many issues. My 3 year old and 8 year old love the geodome and have been playing on it daily the past week. The dome is bigger than I anticipated... my 3 year old is only comfortable climbing up to the first row of bars so if you are considering this for kids younger than 4 maybe go with the smaller size geodome.

Just like all products we have purchased from Lifetime this one is excellent. Large and well crafted. Make sure at least two adults are available for set up. It took my wife and I about 30imites to assemble. Our children as well as the neighborhood kids love it. We look forward to covering it with a parachute in the summer for a cool fort!

I recommend throwing away the instructions! There were 3 of us putting this together and it was extremely difficult doing it as it is instructed. We then looked at the picture on the box and had it completed in no time. It is of such great quality! Extremely sturdy! I have had a 5 yr old, 6 yr old, 12 yr old, and 15 yr old on it at the same time and there was plenty of room for each of them to sit or hang upside down. I am very pleased with this product.

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 purchased these "monkey bars" for my granddaughter in 2016, she loves this play set. She's now 6 and plays on it every time she comes over. We recently noticed a rusty bar, and Lifetime replaced it, even though out of warranty. I'm thrilled, not only with the playset, but with Lifetime.
