I like the muted earth tones for my natural yard. my son is exploring and learning how to fall like a champ. he took to it immediately, I had to keep him off while I was building it. he's 2 1/2 but a climber already. love it. good quality, and just light enough that i can move it by myself around the yard when desired.

The climbing dome is fantastic and definitely suitable for the backyard. Big enough to accommodate many kids and not too big to create an obscene eyesore in your backyard. It was relatively easy to put together. The instructions were good and easy to follow. It took me 3.5 hours but that was because I attempted most of it by myself - not a great idea. You do need an extra set of hands to put this together and keep your sanity at the same time. I bought this for my son for his 5th birthday and he absolutely loves it. So do 10 other kids from the neighborhood - ranging from ages 2 to 10. They climb on it, in it, over it, through it, around it and love just hanging out eating their popsicles under the dome. Also - i bought it "site to store" and it came in many days earlier than estimated.

This is a very sturdy climber. The directions were easily followed and my husband was able to assemble it himself until he needed my help just to hold pieces together while building the top layer. We installed our climber on a thick lawn and I was worried that we would need some sort of anchors to keep it in place, but it is very heavy and so we have had no problems with it being unstable. I can hang all of my weight off of one side of it to deliberately try to tip it over and it doesn't budge. It is a little large for my 4 year old grandson now, but with supervision and a small stool he is able to pull himself up, hang from the bars and drop to the ground safely (sticks the landing!). The metal bars don't get too hot to hold in the Colorado sunshine and they are easily gripped due to the coating. No problem giving this dome 5 stars!

Our kids love it. It arrived promptly just like I was told it would. The reviews said it was somewhat difficult to put together. And if you're doing it alone I imagine it might be hard. The second part of the assembly specifically says it needs to be standing upright. But for my husband and me it was pretty easy. It's definitely sturdy; we both got on it with the kids and it didn't fall apart ha!

Just like all products we have purchased from Lifetime this one is excellent. Large and well crafted. Make sure at least two adults are available for set up. It took my wife and I about 30imites to assemble. Our children as well as the neighborhood kids love it. We look forward to covering it with a parachute in the summer for a cool fort!

My daughter is just about to turn 3 and she loves climbing it. She’s a bit young for it, but give her a few more months and she won’t need help climbing it. Loved that it was made in America. Was able to access video instructions on YouTube or use written instructions and bare were labeled. Only wish/change for manufacturer would be to have a colored diagram versus black-and-white. Otherwise we are super happy with it! Gonna put a small swing on the inside if it or hammock for her to relax on.

The directions were terrible! There has got to be a better way to assemble this thing! My husband and I did it ourselves and you have to connect and reconnect parts and the parts are not labeled clearly enough nor were the directions clear enough. The bags need to be labeled for each screw type better. We love it now that it is together but I truly dread ever having to move and/or take it apart again!

The Lifetime Climbing Dome is a quality made product that will last for many years, and the kids LOVE IT! We accidentally threw away the climbing handles. Customer Service was very quick in shipping out replacements to us. I will definitely purchase a Lifetime product again and recommend to my friends.

Nice little dome. Wouldn't be too much fun for bigger kids because it is not quite big enough. My daughter likes it and she also plans to throw quilts over it for a clubhouse at times. She doesn't use the handholds to climb but they are there for those that would want to.

My husband put this together by himself and it was time consuming but not difficult. We both really like the hand grips positioned at the intersections of the bars, it makes climbing so much easier for our 7 and 3 year old granddaughters. It's not so high as to be frightening when smaller children get to the top. Our "girls" love it as do we so total thumbs up from us!
