My kids as well as the children I have in my in home daycare have LOVED this! It is age appropriate for ages 4-12 years. The younger toddlers aren't able to climb it but do enjoy playing inside the dome. I am so glad I got this size, instead of the larger size I was considering. My husband and I put it together in less than 2 hours total.

I got this a few weeks ago and my girls LOVE it! They are constantly climbing and playing on it! My oldest daughter is a little gymnast and she loves to use it to practice on! It’s perfect for making into a fort, swinging on, my girls love hanging upside down on it, and I love that multiple kids can be on at once! Such a great buy!

The assembly does take a little while. Not difficult but time consuming. I found hand tightening worked best until the entire unit was assembled because it is more forgiving at getting the angles just right. Then I tightened everything down before putting on the hand grabs. There were a few sections I had to read twice but overall Lifetime does a good job differentiating parts and providing images. A slightly deeper 1/2 socket worked well also since the screw is long as you tighten down the bolt. We have the matching swing set also so this was a good addition to the yard.

we just got this a few weeks ago and our kids love it! It was fairly easy to put together by my husband and I. I like the neutral colors so it blends in to the background. I think this is a great alternative to an overpriced wood play set, plus no maintenance.

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.

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.

We bought our Dome Climber in the Spring of 2014. We had purchased a "driveway basketball net" for our granddaughter, and the insert advertised this Dome Climber. I was excited, because I had been wanting to add another piece of equipment to our backyard, because my granddaughter was out growing our swing set! But I hadn't found anything appropriate, until I saw the Dome Climber! I ordered it immediately and I have never regretted it. The Dome Climber has held up well, even with Ohio's crazy weather. Because it has low and high bars, it is great fun for children of all ages. My granddaughter 11 yrs. old,climbs up and sits on the top. My 7 yr. old grandson swings back and forth, climbs all around the bars on the outside, and hangs upside down. My 2-1/2 year old grandson hangs from the bars, when his Daddy helps him. He walks in and out of it, and will soon be climbing like his older cousins. We've clothes pinned sheets over it and turned it into a playhouse a few times. Even my Service Dog, a tall black Labrador, enjoys walking in and out of it, and sometimes lays in the middle to rest. I have never been happier with any other playground equipment we have ever purchased. We bought the "earthtone" because at the time, my grandson was into G.I.Joe & camouflage. He loved the color right away! I am so happy that your basketball hoop for the driveway had a flyer in the box advertising this awesome Dome Climber! It is well-built for children of all ages and it's made very safe! The hand and foot holds strategically placed, help the children climb and also keep the joints covered where the climber is screwed together, bar by bar! It came with easy to follow directions, and all the parts were in the box, even all the hardware. It is the very best piece of backyard playground equipment we have ever purchased. Honestly!! We all love it.

[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.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a climber, no instructions; called and they emailed within minutes. Stayed on the phone till I had it. Then realized we were missing 5 hand grips, they shipped replacements right away. No hassle, no where’s your receipt? They were pleasant and helpful a Great help! Thank you
