We have 4 children ages 4-9 and they love this climber. It took them a few days but now they are all able to climb up by themselves. It is not too high so they can all jump off without hurting themselves. There is still plenty of room when all 4 of them are on it together. I love that the earth colors blend in with the grass and tree so it does not stand out too much. Great way for them to get exercise without even knowing it!

I bought this in November last year. My grandkids love it and I think it has made them stronger. It is built so strong you can try to shake it but it does not move at all. I got the earth tone one which looks great. I would have definitely rated it a 5 but 2 of all 4 different bars have rusted after about 1 - 2 months. We live in FL and it wasn't during rainy season. None of the rest have rusted.

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.

Bought this 2 years ago and my girls really enjoy playing on it. Even had a cow crawl through the fence and into the middle of it which bent it a bit but able to unbend easily does require a little wiggling at the end of moving it to mow around. The girls have lots of fun and so do the neighbors that are 12+ years old.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LIFETIME did it again! This dome climber is the best jungle gym I've ever seen. Kids can climb it like a mountain, hang on it, hang upside down from it, use it as a fort, and so many other things! Our kids are at the perfect ages to enjoy this now and to use it for many more years to come--they're 6 and 3. The 3-year-old can't really climb it on his own yet but loves hanging off of the nearest bars he could grab and jumping off. This is quite a big structure and the kids can stand straight up underneath it, making it a great fort to camp under. We love that it's very sturdy, a great structure that builds the kids' strength and agility, built to last, and the colors work great in our backyard! The kids had their friends over and they all had fun--including the parents! Two grown men built this in about 1.5 hours – it is helpful reading and carefully following the instructions (dads who think they know better). At one point when we were tightening the screws one broke off! But, thank you Lifetime for even thinking about that in advance as they gave extra nuts and bolts with the package. It does have a large footprint but that just means more kids (and adults) can be on at the same time. We trust the Lifetime brand to be solidly built and to last a lifetime, and we think this one definitely will.

Bought the Geodome from Amazon with an open box discount. When it showed up I layed out all the parts and noticed it was missing some washers. I called customer support and they shipped me out more than I needed at no extra cost. My kids love this thing. It'll even hold my weight. Very good product.

This dome was very easy to put together. All the pieces were in the box and the instructions were very easy to follow. I put this together over 2 days and spent a total of about 4.5 hours (at a very leisurely pace). I am a single mother and did this by myself! While it suggests building with two people and would probably cut the time in half, you can do this yourself. For the price, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for another outdoor activity to keep the kids busy.

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.

My husband and I spent about two hours one Saturday afternoon assembling the dome climber with little trouble. We found what worked best for us was to lay everything out the way it would be assembled before actually attaching everything. Our only complaint was for the instructions to have a little more detail rather than just a few words and two large pictures. Once it was assembled, we tightened all the joint pieces for my added piece of mind. Moving it from our driveway to the backyard wasn't that difficult either so I don't feel you have to assemble exactly where you plan on your kids climbing. We had talked about purchases some anchors to keep it in place in case of high winds, but we have yet to do so.

Purchased this through Costco a little over a month ago. Set it up a week ago took a little while approximately 3 hours instructions were not clear about direction to put screws in as diagrams were vague and not very descriptive. My children loved it made my 4 year old son so proud when he could climb to the top and my little girl played house in it. It was prefect for our yard and due to the current situation with COVID-19 and all playground being closed we were so happy they had it to climb on. This evening received an email from Costco explaining that the manufacturer used extensive amount of Barium in the paint which can cause adverse health effects and the product has been RECALLED. We are to take it apart and dispose of the product. We were advised that we will receive a refund for the purchase. But my children have now had everything taken away school playgrounds, friends,family and now their beloved climber talk about an emotional heart break for my 2 and 4 year old kids. I now am scrambling to find something good quality to replace this as my children are going to be heart broken when I take it down, and have to throw it away. If i was told about this recall 2 weeks prior there would not have been an issue the children would not have known about it, and there would not be the emotional trauma that this will cause them. I wish Lifetime had done more prior to selling the product, for example test for the adverse chemicals in their products prior to them being sold. Just disappointed with the whole situation and really left in the dark as i am unable to speak with any sales rep. would not recommend this product obviously. also all other geo climbers are currently out of stock does not help the situation. I am currently bracing myself for a lot of tears and heart break in the coming days.
