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.

We got the climbing dome about a month and a half ago. It took two adults about two hours to put together- the instructions were easy to follow, neither of us cried. It's a great size for my 3 and 5 year olds- they love it. As do all their friends that come over. It's the perfect size for our Chicago lot and is easy enough to move when mowing the grass.

Unfortunately our package came with a missing piece. One of the beams labeled "CPC" was not in the box and we did not figure it out until we were about to complete the assembly process.That was very disappointing to say the very least as the kids are having difficulty understanding why we have this big, beautiful (it really is a beauty) structure meant to be climbed on just sitting in the yard and they are not allowed to come near it. I have tried to call customer service several times and after waiting 30+ minutes I am directed to a voicemail machine. This is incredibly frustrating and now I am afraid that we'll get stuck with an incomplete playset.

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.

Bought the dome climber along with the swingset. It was a little bit of a hassle putting together just because of the ackwardness of the shape. It did take an extra two people to help hold the opposite sides as I was working on the other to help hold the bars together to put the bolts on it. It went up very quickly this way too. Other than that, my only complaint is that it is way to big for my 3 yr old to enjoy. She get her legs up on the first bar but that is about it. Also the paint on the bars is very slippery.

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!

After purchasing the earthtone swing set and Adventure Tower Deluxe, we had to get this awesome climbing dome. I mean, come on...it matches! Plus, our kids love it and it gives them one more fun thing to do outside instead of making bigger messes in our house.

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 bought this after we noticed our kids playing on these at area playgrounds. Since we can't always go to the park this seemed like a good investment in getting our kids to go outside and play. Well it was, my kids are always playing on it, our under it. Their favorite thing to do it, is to get a bunch of huge blankets and cover it and turn it into a fort.

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.
