I haven't had it up too long, but my kids (6 & 10) love it. They like hanging and pretending they are doing tricks or acrobatic things. We even hung some sheets around it and clipped them on with large clips. It made a fun fort. So many possibilities with a little imagination. It took us between 2 to 3 hours to set up which is what it had said it would take with 2 people. There was 2 of us, could probably do the first half alone, but then it gets a little trickier and definitely needed two sets of hands. No complaints here, it even showed up 2 days earlier than it said it would.

Great build, the gauge of steel and the powder coating are very robust and should last for decades. The green and tan color is also very nice as it is quiet and not distracting of garden view. Please though, set it up with two people and plan on 2 hours from start to finish.

We are now the yard in the neighborhood that all the kids want to come to. They love hanging and climbing and the product is very well made! I was worried my four year old wouldn't be able to use it, but already he's hanging on it all the time. My seven year old is climbing to the top -- which has helped his balance and confidence and is building up his muscles! I put 75% of it together by myself, then had help on the final stages - but not stressful at all. I thought it was a little pricey, but I know feel like we will get our monies-worth in the years to come!

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.

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.

I am so happy with this climbing dome. For the price it is an awesome buy. My 3 and 5 year old struggled to get up on it at first, but quickly figured out how to swing their leg up to climb. The frame is sturdy while still being light enough to fairly easily move around the yard. We've had the dome for six months and it still looks new.

I have owned the climbing dome since 2017 and it is still very sturdy and my two boys really enjoy it (6 & 10 years). I reached out to Lifetime recently as some of the hardware (bolts, washers, etc.) were corroded, or in the process of rusting and deteriorating. Customer Support swiftly resolved that issue by sending a full set of hardware. I would recommend applying an anticorrosive on the hardware prior to assembling to avoid having to struggle to remove them later, especially if you move as often as my family does.

By far the dumbest thing I've ever purchased. Not only was it impossible to follow the directions the last few steps where WRONG. Now that its together my grand-daughter really enjoys it but I still don't. I cant move it about the yard to mow because while it has good strength for climbing on it has NO horizontal rigidity so I cant slide it from one part of the lawn to another to mow and you can not roll it over without it wanting to collapse on itself. Ideally it NEEDS cables linking the bottom corners to the opposite sides to make it so that you can slide it and or roll it. I wish we didn't buy it and I wish my grand daughter didn't enjoy it so much. This would be ideal for a stationary installation.

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 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.
