I was happy with my purchase of the Climbing dome until i noticed several parts had bubbled and rusted within 2 months of assembly. The service rep offered to send me touch up paint and instructions on how to sand the parts down. I advised him I would not want to compromise the durability of the parts and asked if i could just get replacement parts. he responded that yes, he could send but needed photos of the damaged parts, model and part numbers, and the dated receipt. I did not have a receipt as I order the dome online, so I sent the emailed order confirmation from Walmart. (which included date order was received online). This was not what the rep needed to fulfill my request, he again advised a dated receipt was required. I called Walmart service center and asked for a dated receipt. They instantly emailed it to me. I forwarded this email (receipt from Walmart) directly to the Lifetime rep. The rep still did not approve of this proof of purchase. He replied that as a "one time courtesy", he would send the requested parts. I am not happy with all I had to do to be granted the parts. so, If I have any other defects (which I'm thinking I might if the dome has already started to bubble and rust), I guess I wont be able to get replacements. I am not going to take a chance and purchase any other Lifetime product ever. There are so many other pay ground equipment companies that I can choose from. What annoys me even more is that there is another review that indicates replacement was available with just a quick call. I would have called, but the hours of operation for the call center are limited.

This has been a great investment, we have one for our daycare/preschool the kids have loved it so much we got for home as well. Sturdy for so many kids to play on together and they are able to create so many ways of playing with it. Replacement parts was so friendly and helpful too! We lost a couple things in putting it together, they were sent right away.

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.

I bought the dome for my grandchildren and they all absolutely love it!!! They're ages range from 2-11. Its very sturdy and well made. My husband did have to YouTube how to put it together but it wasn't very hard. It does take 2 ppl to put together.

High quality and easy to assemble (with help). But children being children, they swore they would love it endlessly and promptly abandoned it after the first week. While it occasionally gets use as a structure upon which they hang whatever ungodly items they pilfer from our recycling bin, or a seemingly nice place for them to string up the pulled apart pieces of their baby brother’s basketball hoop, it’s mostly become a great focal piece of the backyard. An ode to the endlessly fruitless cycle that is attempting to throw money at the pursuit of creating beautiful outdoor childhood memories for creatures who would rather spend their free time regaling you with how utterly bored they are. I think someday I’ll turn it into a hobbit house themed wine sipping dome.

I received the dome yesterday, It took me just over two hours to assemble it, and it was really easy. I did it by myself. The best advise in assembly is don't tighten any of the screws at all, even when the directions say to do so. It will be easier to line up the bolts and holes, tighten every thing once it's together. You can use vise grip pliers to hold some of the assembly together while completing the circle. It won't take two people if you know how to use the tools and have them handy. I bought it for my granddaughters and I know they're going to love it, It's safe and sturdy and well constructed. I'm really pleased with the results. Bye the way the instructions are simple and easy to read, the only exception is that it instructs to tighten the bolts at different stages which will make assembly much harder, the parts won't line up as easy once they're set in place and you won't be able to adjust them. That's why people find the assembly a little difficult. Best advise in the reviews that I read, was "don't tighten the screws until the assembly is complete" it really works.

My husband and I were looking for an outdoor play apparatus for my twin 2 1/2 grandchildren when they come to visit. After reading the excellent reviews the Ace Flyer Teeter Totter received, I decided to order it. I decided to pay the extra money, a mere $2.97, to have it shipped home. The totter arrived the day before it was promised. Grandpa decided to put it together the following day due to the overwhelming reviews of how long it took some people to assemble it. Opened the box, took out the book of instructions, did not panic, and followed it closely to the tee. With help from an older grandson, it was assembled in a little over 3 hours. The next day, we had a Memorial Day BBQ and the children loved it. They took turns flying the plane and being "passengers". It is an excellent product for the price. We are very happy we purchased it and my grandchildren are very happy too!

This thing looks cool and is built to last. It feels like playground quality equipment. Very sturdy, I have my 2 boys and their 2 cousin monkeying around on this constantly. only time we’ve had an issue was when I decided to try it out. I’m 420lbs. I bent 1 piece, Lifetime sent me a free replacement no questions asked. I will continue to buy products from lifetime.

I babysit my grandkids they love this airplane of course they all want to use the steering wheel. But they all can play on it at the same time. It took a lot longer to put together than the box said. I have a lifetime swing set that they love also so the two pieces go together very well. If it holds up like the swing set i will be very happy. I love that it does not topple over and does not have to be staked to the ground I only give it a 4 rating because of they say on the box 1 hour to assemble

I bought this climber for my five year old and it's just the right size. I would say it's perfect for small kids and up to about age 10. The quality of this prodect seems good for the price. We'll have to see how long it holds up. As for now I'm happy I got it and my kids are having alot fun climbing and hanging off the bars on this dome climber.
