The idea is nice, but after 2 months I still haven't assembled the darn thing. The bolts are way too short, the bars can't be put flat on top of each other, it's extremely difficult to put together, nothing wants to stay in place or come together. The low bolts are 1/2" TOO SHORT, there's no space for washers there when hand aligned, there's barely any space to even put a washer on... Extremely laborious and frustrating to put together. I've remodeled 3 houses in the last 2 years, and this is by far the most challenging task I ever had to do. Kudos to 400+ reviewers who put it together, you guys are my heroes, I don't have the nerves for this garbage.

We purchased this for a child care center and the kids love it. We had some problems with the cock pit assembly and had to order some new hardware. The customer service was great and they sent the parts out free of charge and the agent was great to talk to !

Our kids are 10, 7, and 3 and after being frustrated by poor quality on a supposed top brand expensive wooden playset, we saw the good reviews on this and decided to try it. Their favorite part of the previous set had been the monkey bars. Assembly took 2 men 2 1/2 hours. The instructions were a big help. The kids are thrilled with it. The youngest hasn't quite figured out how to climb to the top, which is just fine, but that will happen soon enough. My 150 lb self can climb it, it seems very sturdy.

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I am out of town so I had this mailed to my 5' 95lb wife. She couldn't move the box so she took it piece by piece to the back yard and built it in less than a 6 hours total... She is great and so is the Dome, kids play on it until it gets too hot to touch... Then back out around 6 pm... I was a little hesitant dumping the project on the wife but she easily completed the dome so single ladies get'er done... Enjoy!

We love our new dome climber! Our boys were super impressed with the size and it keeps them entertained and exercising during this quarantine. We love that it can hold so much weight, making it perfect once we can have friends over to visit. My husband assembled it himself fairly easily and only needed my help a couple times to help hold some of the bars up while he screwed them together. We would highly recommend it.

My kids got this as a Christmas present from grandma and grandpa last year, and it has been awesome! They spend a good portion of their day using their imaginations "flying on the airplane" with each other and with the neighbor kids! My kids ages range from 1-7 and they all have fun enjoying it!

if you are looking for a back yard play item for your kids, this is the best. Forget the swing set and slide. They are so limiting age wise and get boring!!! 3 years to about 12 years old will love this piece. They climb, sit on top of, play inside of (you can put a sheet over it and make a cave or club house. I had one at my state licensed daycare center years ago and saw first hand how great a toy it was So, when I recently needed to get something for my grand children, ages 1, 2.5 and 4, I knew this was what to get. I was correct. the two older children started climbing at once. The 1 year old would hold on to the lower bar and "hang". Cousins visited, ages 8 and 11 and they were all over it. Putting it together is the hard part. Takes 2 people and about 2-3 hours. Worth it! The free shipping to your door step can't be beat. You can easily mover it to mow under it. Seriously, the best piece of equipment ever!!

The product was fun, kids enjoyed it. However after about 3 years it rusted out. I left it out over the winters (tarped), and no sprinklers ever touched it. It did get hosed down from time to time. I was warned that the plastic would fade within a few years. It did. But I was told the metal was coated and would last forever. It didn't. For those who are on the fence with this purchase, know that it is not a Lifetime purchase. It will last 3 to 4 years, with seasonal minimal play. Don't expect younger siblings to be able to still use it.

My husband, myself,and our teen put this together is under two hours. First, we read through the instructions so we got the overall idea, then once we got the pattern going, it was easy. Very sturdy and inviting. The bolts and nuts are high quality stainless steel.

I bought this last year without educating myself on it so I’m hoping I can save others from making the same mistake. This and all of lifetimes other playground toys have a prop 65 warning, for those of you that may not know That means that the equipment is made with materials that have been proven to cause cancer and birth defects! I honestly cannot believe that a company would make children’s toys with harmful materials! I have shopped tons of other well known toy brands and none of them I have found do this. I can almost garuntee that no parent wants to expose their children to harmful cancer causing chemicals, so please don’t let lifetime do it either. Choose a company that has your children’s best interest in mind not one that is making millions of dollars from harmful equipment
