This toy is very well made. I can see it lasting years. I was surprised when it was delivered and the box weighed 100+ pounds. I can't believe they offer free shipping on this product. I'm not sure why so many people reviewed that the directions were hard to follow. They were very simple directions and all of the pieces are marked. My husband put it together in about 2 hours using a rachet wrench, rachet, and a drill with an allen bit. (While tripping over 4 excited kids) It's a lot easier to assemble if you don't tighten any of the joints down all the way until the end. I posted pictures on Facebook and everyone wants to know where we bought it! This piece perfectly completed the back yard park we were going for. The kids love it!

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.

I bought this for my twin 4 year old grand kids and they love it. It is just the right size for them to use. It took about 2 and 1/2 hours for my daughter and I to put together - directions were just a little confusing - but it really was pretty easy.. I would recommend this for anyone with little kids who like to climb.

Took half aday to put together by 1 person doing most of the work. Would of been fatser with the 2 of us. The kids seem to like it so far. Hard for my 4 uear old to climb but up to 8 love it so far. A bit smaller than the one we had as kids but maybe its just because im an adult now so it looks smaller

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.

When our daughter purchased her own home - we surprised our grandchildren with this. They have enjoyed climbing on our geo-dome whenever they come visit. They were very excited to get one of their own. It is easy to put together, and holds up well. We have owned ours for over 5 years. I foresee many years of fun for all our grandchildren. We own the red / blue one and we purchased the Earthtone one for my daughters house.

It is very surdy but yet easily moved around the yard by one person. The box shipped quickly and came double packed in cardboard boxes with each individual pole wrapped in plastic to keep from scratching each other. All the parts were well labeled and in good condition. My only concern is it is labeled for 3-10 but with it being such few bars they are spaced quite far apart. It isn't a problem for my 4 year old nephew but is for my 4 year old son. He is working on getting the hang of pulling himself up it but for any kids on the short side it might take them some time to figure it out like my son.

We ordered this for our son's 3rd birthday. Unfortunately he will have to be a bit taller before he can get up on to it. The good side of that is that he is not going to outgrow it any time soon. It seems very sturdy and our 11-year-old daughter and her friends have climbed all over it. It wasn't too hard to put together but the instructions say it can be assembled by 2 adults; we found it took 2 people to hold the pieces in place while a third person added more pieces. So plan on at least 3 adults working for a couple of hours to get it all together.

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.

The kids love to play on this. The intersection hand holds make it very safe and easy for them to use. It's a great addition to our playground for the grandkids. The quality is terrific. We purchased the A-Frame playground and Airplane teeter totter because they will last a "lifetime".
