My husband was able to put this together by himself. Everything went together great and the parts were clearly identified. He did get to the end and had to replace the nuts with another kind provided in the package (this could have been operator error). My 4 year old and her friends play and swing all over this and they love it. Great value and would definitely recommend it!

This Dome climber is an excellent choice for keeping the kids busy while at home. outstanding build quality and was very easy to put together and move around. be prepared you will need another tall adult or teen to help you out due to its size. I cant say enough about this product. the test of time will yield if it can withstand the elements weather wise that is. it handles the kids all 3 of them without issue. looks great as well! a must...

I am so happy with this climbing dome. For the price it is an awesome buy. My 3 and 5 year old struggled to get up on it at first, but quickly figured out how to swing their leg up to climb. The frame is sturdy while still being light enough to fairly easily move around the yard. We've had the dome for six months and it still looks new.

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.

It didn’t take that long to put together. I got it for my grand kids for Christmas and my son put it together outside in 30 degree weather two days before Christmas!It came earlier than expected and everything was right there in the box! It’s bigger than I thought it would be and my 3 year old and 5 year old grandkids love being outside summer, fall, winter,and spring and it will get a lot of use! It’s quite high in the middle and they have had to work up their skills to go to the top! We love it!

My age rate would be More like 4-10. The three year old would have to be an older LARGE sized one. I bought this for daycare and there are a couple of things I would change. first is the height of the first level going around. It's high for 3's and smaller 4 years olds. They so badly want to get on the first level and its frustrating to them. Second it would have been nice to have one or two open or square areas. I have some kids that are trying to flip on the first level bar and they find it difficult because the interfernece of the triangle hits their shoulders. Since all my kids are under 6, I really don't want them climbing on the top. We've put a tarp on top for a little shade. Works really well. This was NOT an easy thing to put together. One person would be miserable, with to it was manageable, but still a long time. The directions could have been written a little more clearly.

The dome did take a while to get here, but there is a pandemic going on after all. When we received the package it took my husband only an hour to out it together. All of the pieces were there, the directions were clear, and my three kids ages 8 and under love it! Its a great product and seems like it will stand the test of time in our Maine weather.

reading the directions and following them was a joke.. as they read you started with 6 pipes 4 brown and 2 shorter green,, not right for making a circle.. after about 2 hrs of following the supplied directions and going on line and finding the same poor directions,, my son and I desided to follow the picture on the box and started from the bottom and work up... and would you belive it only took us an hour to put the dome together... my advice if you purcess this climber throw the directions out and put it together using the pictures on the box,, it will save you a lot of time...

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!

We moved to a new location, and I had to disassemble our dome prior to moving so we could pack it and bring it with us. It's only a couple years old so I didn't want to leave it with the old house. In the process, I stripped a couple of the bolts and many of the nuts were pretty rusty. I contacted Lifetime to ask after what size bolts and nuts I should get as replacements or if they offered replacements. I was shipped a full set of nuts, bolts, and washers at no charge. In these days of supply shortages and relative high cost of doing business, that's just dang impressive. The kids love the dome. It's back up and in service at our new house and primed to go what seems like a few decades.
