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 bought the dome for my grandchildren and they all absolutely love it!!! They're ages range from 2-11. Its very sturdy and well made. My husband did have to YouTube how to put it together but it wasn't very hard. It does take 2 ppl to put together.

We purchased a geodome play structure and upon assembly we discovered it was missing parts. I called the customer service line and spoke with Shannon within five minutes. Shannon was super helpful and our parts are on the way! Not having to deal with a long wait on the phone and Shannon’s excellent customer service was welcome. I can’t wait for our kids to play on this play structure!!

A lifesaver for these corona days! My active kids ages 3 to 12 enjoy this so much. Took my husband a couple hours to put together but easy instructions. Its moveable so when we need to mow the lawn, we can. Best part was free shipping and delivered to our door so we didnt have to bring it home (its very heavy). Its.s extremely sturdy and has already withstood a couple heavy storms. I hope it lasts a long time.

Materials are excellent. Directions lacking. With help, took an experinced mechanic/builder five and a half hours to put together. Very satisfied with final product and it was an immediate success with five year old grandson. He never seemed to tire of discovering the many things he could do on the dome. Would strongly recommend to friends getting gift for "five-somethings". Adhesive on the bar labels should be water soluable or at least not as durable as the one used. The finish on the bars appears to be rust-resistent but would be destroyed if the labels were scraped off. This and the instructions are the only things I would change in this wonderful product.

I was happy with my purchase of the Climbing dome until i noticed several parts had bubbled and rusted within 2 months of assembly. The service rep offered to send me touch up paint and instructions on how to sand the parts down. I advised him I would not want to compromise the durability of the parts and asked if i could just get replacement parts. he responded that yes, he could send but needed photos of the damaged parts, model and part numbers, and the dated receipt. I did not have a receipt as I order the dome online, so I sent the emailed order confirmation from Walmart. (which included date order was received online). This was not what the rep needed to fulfill my request, he again advised a dated receipt was required. I called Walmart service center and asked for a dated receipt. They instantly emailed it to me. I forwarded this email (receipt from Walmart) directly to the Lifetime rep. The rep still did not approve of this proof of purchase. He replied that as a "one time courtesy", he would send the requested parts. I am not happy with all I had to do to be granted the parts. so, If I have any other defects (which I'm thinking I might if the dome has already started to bubble and rust), I guess I wont be able to get replacements. I am not going to take a chance and purchase any other Lifetime product ever. There are so many other pay ground equipment companies that I can choose from. What annoys me even more is that there is another review that indicates replacement was available with just a quick call. I would have called, but the hours of operation for the call center are limited.

I was able to put this together by myself in two hours. All you need is a deep 1/2" socket and a ratchet. It comes with everything else. Some pieces are harder to get the bolt started, but that's not unexpected with the tension on the bars. Quality is great for the price and it's big enough for a few kids to climb at once.

Relatively easy to assemble although directions were somewhat ambiguous. Once started, though, it was rather intuitive. It took my son and me about 2 1/2 hours to assemble. It seems very sturdy and well-constructed. We were able to easily lift it and move it around to find best location but this is not to hint that it is flimsy because it is just the opposite. We're both big strong guys.

Our grandson absolutely loves this thing!! However, it is definitely a 2 to 3 person job for assembly, but not overly difficult. Just an FYI, While our almost 4 1/2 yr old grandson can us it (with some difficulty), it is impossible for our two and three-year-olds to even get on it.

First, we have had this climbing dome for years and it is my kids favorite toy. The little kids love it and so do the big kids and it still looks just as nice as the first day we got it. The other day I went outside and noticed that one of the bottom bars had broken (it had been bent funny when being moved and snapped near the joint). Lifetime immediately sent out a new bar replacement free of charge! We are so happy with this product.
