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.

This dome was very easy to put together. All the pieces were in the box and the instructions were very easy to follow. I put this together over 2 days and spent a total of about 4.5 hours (at a very leisurely pace). I am a single mother and did this by myself! While it suggests building with two people and would probably cut the time in half, you can do this yourself. For the price, I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for another outdoor activity to keep the kids busy.

My 2-year old grandson and 5-year old granddaughter absolutely love this. It is a clever design and solidly built. This was the most thorough and easy-to-follow assembly instructions I've ever experienced. The fasteners were blister-packed and easily followed the instructions. The components were well packed. It took my son and me 2-1/2 hours to assemble. This is a great product at twice the price. I strongly recommend using a cordless drill with a 3/16" hex bit.

I did not personally buy this product, we were given it by a friend and we are actually the 4th owners of it! It has been passed down and loved by many children. I’m not sure how old it is but it is in perfect condition still except for the steering wheel being a little loose. My children and all of our friends kids who visit love this toy! It allows kid of all ages can play together. I highly recommend it.

The perfect complement to our Lifetime swing set.  Same color scheme and everything.  Easy to put together (doable by yourself, but easier with a partner).  Sturdy.  Holds all 240 of me without issue.  Thoughtful placement of grips make the climbing dome safe to explore.  Neither of my kids are bit enough to get to the top on their own, but they've both found lots of ways to climb and hang.  A great piece of equipment to grow with.  

We purchased this item a couple of weeks before Christmas. After the first of the year, I spent 2 hours putting the dome together. The instructions were easy to understand. (They were simple drawings.) Two of my grand kids, ages 4 & 5 years old, came over the next day and climbed all over the dome. They had a blast and can't wait to come back over. The dome had extra parts in case anything might have been missing. Everything was there. We would buy this item all over again!

I would definitely recommend this climber. It is very sturdy and the price is extremely reasonable. The grandchildren, ages 3-11 are having a great time on it. They use it for climbing, doing tricks and they even make a tent by throwing a tarp over it. One evening after dark, they had movie night in the tent after their dad rigged up the TV screen and put rope lights around the top. Add blankets, pillows, popcorn and it made for a very cozy night "under the stars."

Our grandkids love airplanes, and when they saw this their little eyes bugged out and the game was on! It was well packaged, delivered on time and quite heavy for a short 62 yr old lady to maneuver to its assembly zone! All parts were present and easy to follow instructions were included. I did however cheat and go to You Tube for further visual instruction: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvp2vvFhcL8LTUJ1L4hb3709JZlMe0dAn We opted for the colorful one vs the earth tones because it makes it more visually fun!.. very sturdy and well balanced. It took about 5 hours time for me and then eventually my husband to put together. Well worth the price. Rust spots may eventually become in issue and the plastic may crack for sun exposure.....but I'm banking on at least 3 years until this becomes an issue, and then since its Lifetime, I'm willing to bet I will be able to get replacement parts. They are a very good company. Their playground Model 90143 is amazing too.

Picked this Climbing Dome up as a surprise for my two kids and couldn't be happier with the end result. The dome is incredibly sturdy - no concerns around multiple kids playing on it at the same time. Setup wasn't hard, but a little tedious, as the dome is shipped as a whole bunch of individual bars. The instruction manual made sense, but BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE MANUAL before you begin - we got caught once or twice and had to back track, but overall, two of us got it built in a little over an hour. Lastly, you will want a 1/2" ratchet with an extender for the plastic caps that go on at the end. If I had one complaint, it's that every bar is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve, which felt rather wasteful. Overall, this is a fantastic product. My kids (and a couple of neighbourhood dads) haven't left it alone since we built it three days ago!

We purchased this item after seeing one at a friends house. We LOVE it! Not only is it great to climb and hang from, but we had a nylon parachute that fits perfectly over it for an instant fort! Easy to assemble, as my 8 year old daughter was my helper. Took about an hour. Must use three people to move, but otherwise an amazing purchase. One piece arrived with rust, but was promptly sent by Lifetime and was easily replaced. Children ages 4, 8 & 11 love it.
