It looks bigger in the picture than it actually is I bought it for my grandchilds 6th birthday and she likes it OK but I could have gotten her something much better for the price. It was easy to put together and it would be really fun for a 3 or 4 yr old.So bottom line is it's great for a 3 or 4 yr old. Not big enough for all of the kids that they show in the picture. It is pretty sturdy and not hard to put together. So far it looks like it will hold up well however we have only had it a month and it has not been used much. Summer is here and the kids will be using it more so we will find out then. It does add a more "kids playground" look to my backyard and I'm fine with that.

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.

This is a cool piece to add to backyard playground. My biggest complaint is that after only about a year having it, the beige color started to rust. Now after a couple years, it's fully rusting on just that color it seems. I'm thinking about spray painting the whole thing, but for a LIFETIME product, I don't feel like I should have to do this. Disappointed.

I primarily purchased this for my 3-year-old, but my older son who just turned 11 has been on it, while my 3-year-old has shown no interest. I am not sure why as he LOVES to climb and swing from every object possible? After assembling the dome climber, I realized it is a pretty good size. It will probably be a while before he can actually climb onto the first bar off the ground. We have had it assembled for less than a week, so I am hoping he will warm up soon. We even put his kiddie pool in the middle underneath today to coax him into exploration. We had zero success with that manipulative move. It is still a GREAT product and whether or not he uses it now, we are pretty certain he will come to love it and play on it for many years to come. The structure is pretty sturdy after assembly and easy to move with a nice added feature of joint bolt covers that double as a climbing fob. There were some technical inconsistencies with this product: instructions, maximum weight, and recommended ages. INSTRUCTIONS: 3 on a scale of 1-10. It is almost easier to figure it out than try to view the illustrations. The gray-scale coloring is inverted on the instructions with the hunter green bars in light shades and the light brown (beige) bars illustrated in the darker shades. This made it confusing when putting the bars together. There were also a few places that were not clear. The instructions do not mention from Step 1 that you will be screwing and unscrewing the nuts SEVERAL times in the main sections. Wal-Mart listing: maximum weight = 600 Product maximum weight listed= 400 (200 pounds off - BIG difference) Wal-Mart recommended ages listed = (3-10) Product box recommended ages = (4-11)

Picked this up a week ago from the site to store. Got it home and my husband and I put it together in about 2 hours. Just one tip: don't tighten the screws all the way, until it is all put together, you will see why I say this as you put yours together. The kids came home from school and were thrilled about having it to play on. The only con that I see is I wish it were a bit bigger. Having my three children ages 9, 6, and 4 playing on it at the same time they need more space to play.

I am so impressed with how this climber turned out! I bought it for my 3 year old, but it is sturdy enough I feel okay climbing on it too. It is the perfect size and easy enough to move around (with 2 people). Assembly took the 2 of us about 3.5 hours but that was with a toddler running around. We were being extra cautious because we didn't want to have to go back and fix anything but none of the assembly was difficult. If I had to do it by myself I believe I could have but I definitely do recommend having a second person to hold pieces. I am so thrilled with this item and cant wait to really put it to use when the weather gets warmer.

We purchased this item a couple of weeks before Christmas. After the first of the year, I spent 2 hours putting the dome together. The instructions were easy to understand. (They were simple drawings.) Two of my grand kids, ages 4 & 5 years old, came over the next day and climbed all over the dome. They had a blast and can't wait to come back over. The dome had extra parts in case anything might have been missing. Everything was there. We would buy this item all over again!

A lil to put it together, but it will last a long time. Love it

Love it! Reminds me of the younger days! Very sturdy!

The best summer gift for my granddaughter!!
