I was able to put this together by myself in two hours. All you need is a deep 1/2" socket and a ratchet. It comes with everything else. Some pieces are harder to get the bolt started, but that's not unexpected with the tension on the bars. Quality is great for the price and it's big enough for a few kids to climb at once.

It is a great piece of playground equipment. The only drawback is the directions. It was difficult to put together, and after we were done, my 15 year old said, "It would have been much easier if we had done it differently." He needs to rewrite the directions for anyone else buying it! I did buy tent stakes for it; living in the Texas Panhandle, I want to be sure it stays on the ground! Overall, it is great.

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.

My children love this climber! They play on, under and around it for hours. My only complaint is the instructions were not very clear. You definitely need two adults to assemble it. It took my husband and I about 4 hours to assemble it, but it was worth it to see how much fun the children have on it!

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.

This product is fantastic! We bought this for Christmas for our son and he is loving it. The dome is very sturdy, holds several children, and was easy to assemble. It took my husband a few hours to complete on his own and he only needed another set of hands a few times. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

I know I probably bought this climbing dome to soon as our children are only 1,2,3 years old, but this climbing dome is well made and will last lifetime. My husband put it up all by himself took him 3 hours . To are surprise our 3 year old can climb all by herself . Our other two toddlers enjoy running underneath and trying to climb. It won’t be to lone and they will be climbing too.

I like Lifetime products since I bought the Lifetime swing set they are very well made and contrary to some of the reviews the instructions are pretty straightforward I like the way that they illustrate what parts and Hardware are needed for each step with that information and the pictures they are fairly easy to follow the only thing I do not understand is why they would say assembly time is only one hour or less on the box for the teeter totter 4 hours would be more accurate but the kids certainly enjoy playing on it like most things it may only be for 20 or 30 minutes before they move on to something else but it is there for when they want to play on it but I highly recommend anything that Lifetime Products make!!

We just purchased the Lifetime Dome Climber for our son's 5th birthday. We got it shipped for free, never thinking there might be a picture on the box. It turned into an early birthday present when he saw the box on the porch. He couldn't wait for Dad to finish assembling it. Assembly was very straight forward. The product is solid and well made. Our boy was sad that he couldn't climb on the inside ...just not strong enough yet...but he will build upper body strength playing on the dome and will be able to climb up on the inside in no time. We play ball with it and I am sure we will find many other uses for it. Our 2 year old is not tall enough to use it yet; but he enjoys crawling under and playing inside the dome - when his brother is not on top.

My 7 year old and 4 year old both love this toy. I was worried about how much room it would take up in our yard as we have a smallish back yard, and I'm so glad it's not a problem at all. It is big enough for multiple kids to play on but because it is see-through it doesn't visually take up as much space as say a trampoline does. Also, I was worried about stability as our back yard has a slight slope to it. This was not a problem at all, it's very stable. I'm a busy mom so I ended up hiring someone to assemble it. He did it in about 3 hours by himself. We are missing one bar but I called Lifetime and they have already shipped out a replacement. The dome is light enough for me to move it a few feet here or there myself, but heavy enough of course to stay put. I couldn't be happier. I'm planning on buying a parachute large enough to throw over it so my daughter can play fort once in a while. One last note: the box wasn't as big as I thought it was going to be. It could have fit in my Ford Freestyle if I had the seats down.
