My daughter loves it! We bought it for her birthday. My dad and I put it together in roughly an hour and a half. We have experience with tools and building things, so time will vary. The dome is very sturdy once the final tightening is done. My brother weighs around 230 lbs. He climbed to the top and nothing moved at all. I really like the finish on the metal as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone.

My 11 year old autistic son loves it. My 4 year old granddaughter loves it. A little harder for my granddaughter to manuver but she likes it....fairly easy to put together. Took about 2 hours with 2 people doing it. I think it will add lots of summer fun for the kiddos this year.

The package arrived a week earlier than estimated. The box was in tact and had a complete set of all the hardware. It was easy for my husband to put it together alone for most of the assembly. As another reviewer recommended, he didn't tighten the screws until the end because each level builds on top of the lower level. It's very well designed and very sturdy. The first evening it had my 3 boys plus 2 neighbor's boys on it immediately. They had a blast! I'm excited to have this just in time for the summer. With 3 active boys ages 4, 5 1/2 and 8, this is the perfect activity to keep them happy for hours.

Warning: You may not love your kids enough to assemble this thing. Mine is going to be returned, so I suppose I don't. Full disclosure: I do love my kids. But after several attempts to get this thing together, I'm throwing in the towel. My main problems are with the cheap quality of the pieces (the thinner parts bend quite easily) and the abysmal way the pieces are labeled with their part numbers. The build quality was way cheaper than I expected from a Lifetime product. With two people trying to assemble the unit, the spans bent very, very easily near the points where they are secured together. This problem was exacerbated after disassembling the unit several times, because... The stickers with the part numbers for the spans are placed right where the spans rub together when you're assembling the unit. The stickers very quickly rub off, so that you can no longer read the part number. This makes it impossible to reassemble the unit, because there are at least two different part types that are completely indistinguishable from one another, so they cannot be identified without the part number. And so, we gave up. We own quite a few Lifetime products (tables, chairs, Wiggle Racers, an Airplane Teeter Totter, etc.), and we've never been this dissatisfied.

This was a dream to put together! The instructions were so clear and the set up was easy. My husband and I put it together in about two hours, taking our time. The quality of the product is sooo nice. It seems like it will last for years. My kids love it. We don't have much backyard space and this is the perfect backyard toy for all my kids, ranging ages 3-8. They would enjoy it if they were younger and I think will continue to use it for years to come.

I was really impressed with the instructions. It is complicated to put together because of all the pieces, but soon I got the hang of it because the instructions were so clear. You need at least 2 people to put it together, and 3 is even better. Once put together, it is sturdy and well-built.

This was by far the worst product I ever spend money on for a outdoor back yard kids play set. Where do I began with this horrible nightmare. To start when I picked this Geo Set up from Walmart the box was shipped in the worst condition you could imagine. Next when I got home to assembly this Geo Dome the direction offer little to no help at all and to top things off, there was a shortage of nuts and bolts. It was also missing about 10 of the climber grips. I would advise you to save your money it's not worth the headache.

the grand kids enjoy this; maybe because it is new...i had this delivered which is good; saved money, time etc...first of all, read the instructions thoroughly...and then re-read...make sure you have an extra help because it will take you over two hours to assemble; more time if you misreads the instructions which is not clear and can be confusing...but take your time and don't be in a hurry...separate all the parts and check for completeness...you do not want to be halfway done and there are missing parts/bar...use your resources for that...all our parts were there...at the beginning, hooking up the rods ends is rather confusing because it flip-flops because it is loosely tightened...make sure you hook up the rods ends, bolts/washer/nut as instructed in sequence or you will be re-doing it over; it's for safety reasons...there are many connections to the unit and it's easy to lose track...do not fully tighten the unit until finished...if the children have very small fingers, there are slight gaps in-between the handholds connecting to the bars which could hurt them if they happen to get their fingers caught...and i put safety nipples are the end of the bolts of the handholds to protect their fingers...like everything, always give a brief safety caution to all the kids using...it's a lot of fun but not when you get hurt...all in all, i am glad i bought this...i should of bought a long time ago...

Parts are well marked; instructions very clear. I assembled it by myself, but it was a handful. About a third of the way into assembling it, it becomes rather unwieldy. Having a second person would have helped. Then it gets easier. Pay attention to the shape of the plastic hand grips. They are notched to fit over one of the tubes. They look like both sides are notched the same, but they're not.

We love this product. We really wanted one that was welded steel, but there didn't seem to be anything on the market place. We bought this instead and are very happy. We have a 3 year old and 6 year old. The spacing is a little more advanced than we thought, but its great they have something to grow into. Also, they become more adept at it every day. We will see how it holds up over time, we've only had it a week. But for now we are very pleased, especially considering the price.
