just set it up last night and love it so far. install took right at 2 hours with one installer, but using an electric driver rather than the cheap allen wrench saved a lot of time and effort. holds me without any give (240 lbs). our oldest just turned 5 and is on the small side and she can traverse this pretty well. our youngest is about to turn 3 and he cant use it at all and probably will need to wait another year. Quality seems good, I hope the durability is there. I love the product so far!

We actually bought two of these. One for us and one for a friend. My friends was fine, but our box had a tear in it. We discovered that all of the bolts were missing. I went to customer service and looked for a way to order and purchase a new set. I bought the item with an open box, so I figured it was my fault for not double checking. I received an email the next business day stating that they shipped all new bolts for free. Wow! Not what I was expecting. They were wonderful!!

The idea is nice, but after 2 months I still haven't assembled the darn thing. The bolts are way too short, the bars can't be put flat on top of each other, it's extremely difficult to put together, nothing wants to stay in place or come together. The low bolts are 1/2" TOO SHORT, there's no space for washers there when hand aligned, there's barely any space to even put a washer on... Extremely laborious and frustrating to put together. I've remodeled 3 houses in the last 2 years, and this is by far the most challenging task I ever had to do. Kudos to 400+ reviewers who put it together, you guys are my heroes, I don't have the nerves for this garbage.

I bought this about 6 months ago and couldn't be happier. My son (4) climbs all over it. I love that it supports up to 600lbs. I climb it with him! I love how big this is too, 5ft high, and 10ft diameter. Plenty of room for many kids. Instructions were easy to follow, and didn't take long to build.

It's everything I expected, my 4 year old loves it. The size is perfect, even for my 7 year old niece. My husband is very handy, and he put it together without too much time and frustration- but used a regular wrench and an impact wrench, rather than the tools it came with. If you are not that handy, make sure to just give yourself a little extra time. Overall, totally worth the money- a great addition to our backyard.

Buyer beware! This outdoor climbing structure does not last long when used outdoors. Our structure has completely rusted on the bars and joints, I have to throw it away as it is no longer safe for my children to use. Waste of money, will not be purchasing from Lifetime again.

We could hardly keep the kids off of it to get it together. My son and I built it in about 2 hours. It's not difficult. You just need extra hands to hold the pieces while the other person inserts the bolts. A third person would make it go faster. The only problem was when old Granny over tightened a bolt and broke it off. We were able to get a replacement at the hardware store. It would be nice if an extra came with it, just in case. I was concerned that the 3 year old wouldn't be big enough to reach the bars but she scaled it like a monkey on the first try. Her 5 year old sister had a little trouble because her shoes were slippery and she is not a monkey. Their Daddy mastered it readily and it held the big guy just fine. We love it.

Talk about bringing back childhood memories! This dome rocks! It's big enough for our 9 year old to play on and fun enough for our 4 year old to explore and grow with. The kids have had a blast on it. Of course we had to give some instructions on how falling off WILL hurt but otherwise this item has exceeded our expectations.

This dome took a while to put together, because we had set it up on a slight slope and the weight on the low end kept causing the bars not to fit right. I recommend trying to find a very level spot in your yard first. Once it is together, moving it is fairly simple, my 19 year old son did that for us. As for the quality it is excellent, this looks like something you would see at a park. It easily held all 4 of my children at once, and 2 of them are nearing 20! It was also much larger than I expected, and that was nice! I purchased the green and brown and am pleased with the colors.

This is a wonderful idea. I purchased this for my 4 yr old and as soon as my son and brother saw it they had to get one for thier children. All the neighbor children play in my yard now. I would highly recommend this product and any other product endorced by this company!!!
