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!!!

My grandchildren will have years of fun on this climber. It was easy to build. the labeling and the directions made it a breeze. Two hours from start to finish. The bars are pretty strong. My 21 yr. old son was climbing and hanging on it and and it holds up just fine, he weighs about 160 lbs.

I have to admit, the climber is built better than I thought it would be. Not sure about the six hundred pound limit, but I weigh 300 and it held me easily when I tested it. It took me and my 10 year old about 1 1/2 hours to put together following the directions. I did not follow the directions when assembling the green five arm pieces. It said to tighten them, I left them barely loose. Then after everything was assembled, lifted the climber up to align it, then tightened all the bolts. I read a review that said the climber was hard to move around for mowing. If you move it by lifting one side up and drag it, I do not think it will last very long. If you get inside and pick it up by pushing up in the top center, I think this climber will last for a very long time.

Once its up, its a great dome but getting it together was a nightmare! You really need three people to assemble it and the way the screws go in is diabolical! Apparently this could have been done much easier if they used a different type of screw. Kids love it now that its up but when i have to get rid of it, instead of going through the nightmare of taking it apart, I think I'll just melt it down.  Seriously. Whoever designed this should really have put the thing together themselves because its totally obvious they didnt!!!!  All I can say is make sure you are putting the impossible to screw in screws in the right way!

My husband, myself,and our teen put this together is under two hours. First, we read through the instructions so we got the overall idea, then once we got the pattern going, it was easy. Very sturdy and inviting. The bolts and nuts are high quality stainless steel.

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.

The item is good, the instructions are extremely difficult to follow, its easier to follow the picture. You need to be an octopus to put it together, or at least have 2 to 3 other people help hold all the bars that have to be screwed in with the same bolt. The people who say it was so easy to put together must work for the company. It took 3 of us 3 hours and we will have to start again tomorrow to put the hand holds on and tighten it all up. Its not as strong as I was hoping..the metal seems a bit flimsy...but I'm sure it will last a year or so. If you are not an octopus, or don't have a couple people to help put this together...move on to a different toy.

We love it!!! Love the brown n green looks great in the back yard next to the swing set! Great price!! we just put it togeter a few days ago. it was a xmas gift for my almost 4 year old son but decied to give it to him early to enjoy it durin the nice fall weather. my husband and i put it together fairly easy..the box was smaller then i thought but was prtty heavy about 150lbs. fits fine in any suv/hatch backs, mayeven fit in smaller cars if your back sits go down or u have nothing and no one in the back seat. we wanted to surprize our son so we did it while he was sleeping but he woke up when we were in the middle of it. he came to the back door n saw us buliding it. he was so excited! he ran n got his boots on to come help n said thanks for my new jungle gym mommy n daddy while he jumped up n down!:) def a great buy!!

I am happy with the quality of the climber for the price. In terms of outdoor play toys this is a great bargain. My daughter is only 2 and like to climb on it with some help but is probably too young to fully use it but we have had a 5 year old friend come play on it and loves it. The assembly at first seems overwhelming because the instructions are vauge, but once you get going it starts making more sense. I missed that on step one it says in small print at the bottom to repeat this step five times. I would have thought that should have been the first sentance of step one since that is kind of important to know. It took me 3 hours with many distractions during that time to put it together by myself. It is definately possible to put together yourself but it would go faster and smoother with 2 people. I am about 6 feet tall male with average strength and am able to get under the middle of it and lift it above my shoulders to move it 5-10ft out of the way to cut the grass every week. Our yard is not level but it does conform to the uneven ground well during assembly, but a flat location is best. Do not that the brown color pipes do have a muted earth tone that is nice but the dark green pipes do not blend well with my local plant life and it does make it stand out some. I am sure this may not be the case if your lawn is a deep vibrant green. The look of it is not a concern to us and overall everyone is very pleased with it.

Picked this Climbing Dome up as a surprise for my two kids and couldn't be happier with the end result. The dome is incredibly sturdy - no concerns around multiple kids playing on it at the same time. Setup wasn't hard, but a little tedious, as the dome is shipped as a whole bunch of individual bars. The instruction manual made sense, but BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE MANUAL before you begin - we got caught once or twice and had to back track, but overall, two of us got it built in a little over an hour. Lastly, you will want a 1/2" ratchet with an extender for the plastic caps that go on at the end. If I had one complaint, it's that every bar is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve, which felt rather wasteful. Overall, this is a fantastic product. My kids (and a couple of neighbourhood dads) haven't left it alone since we built it three days ago!
