Our kids have been climbing on the dome for over five years. It's super sturdy and lends itself to lots of imaginative play, or just a place to hang out on, or in. A storm recently brought a gigantic tree limb on it, and only two bars were bent. Replacing them were easy thanks to excellent customer service.

I haven't had it up too long, but my kids (6 & 10) love it. They like hanging and pretending they are doing tricks or acrobatic things. We even hung some sheets around it and clipped them on with large clips. It made a fun fort. So many possibilities with a little imagination. It took us between 2 to 3 hours to set up which is what it had said it would take with 2 people. There was 2 of us, could probably do the first half alone, but then it gets a little trickier and definitely needed two sets of hands. No complaints here, it even showed up 2 days earlier than it said it would.

We are now the yard in the neighborhood that all the kids want to come to. They love hanging and climbing and the product is very well made! I was worried my four year old wouldn't be able to use it, but already he's hanging on it all the time. My seven year old is climbing to the top -- which has helped his balance and confidence and is building up his muscles! I put 75% of it together by myself, then had help on the final stages - but not stressful at all. I thought it was a little pricey, but I know feel like we will get our monies-worth in the years to come!

This dome was the perfect addition to our yard. Our son gets tons of hours on it climbing and hanging upside down. It did take 3 of us to put together but it wasn’t difficult. It’s sturdy and heavy enough to stay in place, but not too heavy to move in order to mow.

My children who love climbing have been playing on it every day since we've had it (a couple weeks). My 6 year old says it isn't challenging enough and still prefers our tree, but it gives them something else to play on besides just the tree. My 3 year old climbs all over it as well. I like that the colors are earth tone. It looks good in the backyard.

For those interested in the Lifetime 66-Inch Climbing Dome I highly suggest following the installation tutorial on Lifetime's YouTube page (extremely helpful). I was able to build the entire dome by myself in a few hours. There were some moments of frustration but if you follow the YouTube tutorial closely you shouldn't have too many issues. My 3 year old and 8 year old love the geodome and have been playing on it daily the past week. The dome is bigger than I anticipated... my 3 year old is only comfortable climbing up to the first row of bars so if you are considering this for kids younger than 4 maybe go with the smaller size geodome.

It took a while to assemble and the directions were not great. You definitely want two people to assemble. The finished product is sturdy and the grandkids love it! Actually took up more room than we envisioned so if you have a small space be cautious.

This thing is solid and sturdy, and a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Had about 6 kids on it ranging in ages from 4-10 and it held up with no problems whatsoever. Putting it together was a bit of a hassle, took my wife and I a couple hours, but nothing too bad. Overall a very high quality product and the kids love it.

Bought this unit for our two sons to use. Nice to have a 60-inch climbing dome available for personal use. The boys love it and being able to hang like a bat. Fairly easy to assemble with a few extra hands. I used my boys as my assistants. Weight is good enough to be sturdy but light enough to move around without much fuss. Powder coating on the bars will provide long term protection against corrosion and also aids with keeping a grip while climbing. The handholds located at the joints are sturdy and built for long term use too. We are very happy with this purchase and with several Lifetime products we own. Keep up the good work and thanks!

Very sturdy. Assembly: Be sure to follow each step of the directions or you will have to take completely apart and start over. Top will not fit unless everything is in its place. The diamond shapes are not easy for children to climb. They gave up quickly and now it is not something they use.
