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.

This thing is amazing. It does take 2 people to assemble but it took 3 hours for my husband and I to do it. With the kids running around and playing. And it's lightweight enough that we can move it to mow the lawn, but heavy enough that it doesn't move when my 3 kids are playing on it. And it's huge and will last us many, many, many years!

The directions were terrible! There has got to be a better way to assemble this thing! My husband and I did it ourselves and you have to connect and reconnect parts and the parts are not labeled clearly enough nor were the directions clear enough. The bags need to be labeled for each screw type better. We love it now that it is together but I truly dread ever having to move and/or take it apart again!

Second dome climber for our family. I built both of them by my 5-foot-3 buck-25 self. Set aside a couple hours, watch the YouTube tutorial, read the instructions. You will be satisfied with this climber. Worth every penny. We have a parachute that we put over the top to turn it into a shady fort on sunny days. Brightens up the backyard a ton.

We moved to a new location, and I had to disassemble our dome prior to moving so we could pack it and bring it with us. It's only a couple years old so I didn't want to leave it with the old house. In the process, I stripped a couple of the bolts and many of the nuts were pretty rusty. I contacted Lifetime to ask after what size bolts and nuts I should get as replacements or if they offered replacements. I was shipped a full set of nuts, bolts, and washers at no charge. In these days of supply shortages and relative high cost of doing business, that's just dang impressive. The kids love the dome. It's back up and in service at our new house and primed to go what seems like a few decades.

It took a while to assemble and the directions were not great. You definitely want two people to assemble. The finished product is sturdy and the grandkids love it! Actually took up more room than we envisioned so if you have a small space be cautious.

My boy's - 3 and 7 - love this climber! It's the perfect size and can comfortably accommodate several kids. This is a great alternative or addition to any traditional swing set. It did take my husband nearly 3 hours to put together so keep that in mind but overall assembly was fairly easy. Like other people have mentioned, we did not tighten the final bolts until everything was put together.

This dome was the perfect addition to our yard. Our son gets tons of hours on it climbing and hanging upside down. It did take 3 of us to put together but it wasn’t difficult. It’s sturdy and heavy enough to stay in place, but not too heavy to move in order to mow.

The 66" dome is LARGE and heavy, make sure you understand the space required before you purchase. So far it has been great for our 6 yo, 3 yo growing into it - he can't quite climb it yet but I expect he will have it mastered by the end of the month. Climbing dome took me about two hours to assemble from start to finish by myself. A socket wrench is definitely helpful and makes the job quick. Highly recommend watching the assembly video first and closely studying the diagram of pole order as I had to fix a few mistakes along the way. Fully assembled the structure is very heavy but I can still move (drag) it around our yard for mowing purposes.

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.
