My husband was able to put this together by himself. Everything went together great and the parts were clearly identified. He did get to the end and had to replace the nuts with another kind provided in the package (this could have been operator error). My 4 year old and her friends play and swing all over this and they love it. Great value and would definitely recommend it!

Some study of directions and time to assemble, but sturdy, high-quality components make it a great product. Grandkids love it. Second the recommendation for adult presence for kids that are young or new to it, and a soft landing area beneath in case of falls, which can happen.

I reached out to Lifetime because our climbing dome had been damaged during a storm and a large tree limb bent 8 or 9 tubes. After a little back and forth, sharing pictures and identifying the right tubes, Randy in Customer Service was able to ship out replacement tubes so climbing can continue on in the future. Super responsive. Thank you!

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.

The product is great, very fast shipping, looked up different site this was the best price by far. The dome is solid and it does exactly what is says it does. it took about 2 hours for assembly. My kids love it! age 5 and.....and even the 19 year old.

Love this climbing dome, perfect for the little ones-- probably would be fine for even up to 10 year olds, wish I could have gotten the larger one but had already sold out. Rated 4 stars because the directions were terrible-- luckily had my sister-in-law with me that had also just put one together so she had already gone through the tough part but really the directions need to be color coded. One tip-- don't screw in ANYTHING tight until the absolute end as you have to unscrew every few minutes to add bars to each stack while building.

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.

It took a while to undertand the instructions; once we got the pattern going, it went smoothly. Our grandkids are enjoying it and it is made of durable material so they will be climbing for years to come. Wished we had purchased the Fort canvas also.

Outstanding! My kids absolutely love it. Quality is good. Assembly was time consuming, but not difficult. It took me about 2 hours to do it by myself, except for the last step at the very top, where I had my wife help hold things in place. I was worried about my preschooler getting hurt on it if he tried climbing it while I wasn't looking, but the bars are spaced and angled perfectly so that he can't climb high enough to hurt himself. Would not hesitate to recommend this dome to friends.

This does not have enough low bars for little ones to climb onto. The first bar they can reach is chest level. There needs to be another lower bar as a step. My little 3 and 4 year old visitors cant reach, so they dont use it. This was rated for their age.
