About 5 years ago we bought this for our grandchildren to play on when they came to our house. They have had so much fun playing on it. Earlier this year we bought a second one for one of our daughters when she recently bought a house. Easy to put together and has held up well with all the different weather conditions in the snowy North.

Purchased this through Costco a little over a month ago. Set it up a week ago took a little while approximately 3 hours instructions were not clear about direction to put screws in as diagrams were vague and not very descriptive. My children loved it made my 4 year old son so proud when he could climb to the top and my little girl played house in it. It was prefect for our yard and due to the current situation with COVID-19 and all playground being closed we were so happy they had it to climb on. This evening received an email from Costco explaining that the manufacturer used extensive amount of Barium in the paint which can cause adverse health effects and the product has been RECALLED. We are to take it apart and dispose of the product. We were advised that we will receive a refund for the purchase. But my children have now had everything taken away school playgrounds, friends,family and now their beloved climber talk about an emotional heart break for my 2 and 4 year old kids. I now am scrambling to find something good quality to replace this as my children are going to be heart broken when I take it down, and have to throw it away. If i was told about this recall 2 weeks prior there would not have been an issue the children would not have known about it, and there would not be the emotional trauma that this will cause them. I wish Lifetime had done more prior to selling the product, for example test for the adverse chemicals in their products prior to them being sold. Just disappointed with the whole situation and really left in the dark as i am unable to speak with any sales rep. would not recommend this product obviously. also all other geo climbers are currently out of stock does not help the situation. I am currently bracing myself for a lot of tears and heart break in the coming days.

We could hardly keep the kids off of it to get it together. My son and I built it in about 2 hours. It's not difficult. You just need extra hands to hold the pieces while the other person inserts the bolts. A third person would make it go faster. The only problem was when old Granny over tightened a bolt and broke it off. We were able to get a replacement at the hardware store. It would be nice if an extra came with it, just in case. I was concerned that the 3 year old wouldn't be big enough to reach the bars but she scaled it like a monkey on the first try. Her 5 year old sister had a little trouble because her shoes were slippery and she is not a monkey. Their Daddy mastered it readily and it held the big guy just fine. We love it.

We have had our teeter totter for quite a few years now. It has been used in so many creative ways. Pretend traveling games, shooting wars, obstacle courses, etc. It can fit a lot of kids at the same time, and has been played with by adults as well. I love anything that encourages my kids to play outside and use their imaginations.

I bought this 6 years ago for my mother's home. It's been perfect for her. Children of all different ages can play on it and anywhere from 1 to 6 or 7 kids have climbed all over it at once. It's held up great and is light enough to move around the yard, but still heavy enough that KIDS can't move it. It's kind of a novelty because it's different than most swing sets, which is great for a grandparent's home.

Purchased this dome 11 months ago. Assembled it only four months ago. Upon assembly, noticed that the powder coat on one bar was bubbled in one spot. That spot rusted within days of assembly. I submitted a warranty claim to Lifetime. I received a reply in 24 hrs, confirming that they would be sending a replacement bar and touch up paint. The replacement part arrived shortly after. I would not hesitate to buy another Lifetime product. Highly, highly recommend this company! The dome itself is super sturdy and the colors are bright and fun. A+

This is such a fun unique plays etc. I purchased it for my nephew a few months ago. He loves it! It has such a cool airplane design which really gets his imagination going. My daughter is 9 months old and loves bouncing it it as well. I highly recommend this if you're looking for something different than the typical swingset!

We bought this for our grandchild's yard and think it will be wonderful and very sturdy. We bought it cheaper than Amazon as a WalMart special for Xmas 2012 with free pickup at the store. FYI, the box is heavy so you would need help to get it into and out of your car, but the box dimensions are 40 inches long x 24 inches wide x 7 inches deep, so the box should fit in any backseat. When completed, one person can stand inside and move the dome several yards for mowing, etc. The first problem with the instruction book is that our pale metallic brown and dark green rods (Earthtones) were diagrammed as dark and light respectively, which was confusing. Second, the initial step is to make 5 separate units, but the book said to make one Unit and then "repeat 5 times". The book also labeled one crucial joint with the wrong code. Third, about tools. The instructions say that assembly requires a hex (Allen) wrench and a socket wrench with a 1/2" socket. That is wrong. In the early stages of the assembly, a standard socket is not deep enough to tighten the first nut that you put on the long bolts. That first nut does not require a socket wrench and can be tightened using a regular wrench. So for the first nut you need either a deep socket or a standard wrench. However, when you put the handles on the ends of the bolts at the last step of the assembly, you do need a socket wrench. For that, a regular socket is sufficient, but of course a deep socket can handle it, too. So what you need for assembly are the following: (1) a hex (Allen) wrench (2) either (A) a deep 1/2" socket wrench or (B) both of the following (i) a regular 1/2" socket wrench and (ii) any one of the following: (a) a 1/2" box wrench (b) a 1/2" open-end wrench (c) an adjustable (Crescent) wrench Only one person was needed initially to open the box, take inventory (which included one extra knob and one extra set of bolt, washers, and nut), lay out the 5 initial units and assemble them, about a half hour. Thereafter a second person was vital to hold the units up in place for assembly around the dome. We had 3 adults, with the third person giving out the needed parts and reminding the assembler of the order to place the rods on the bolts. We had a large level area for assembly, and took almost 3 hours from starting to open the carton to gathering the waste at the end. We followed the advice of another reviewer not to tighten any joints by tool until the assembly was on the last steps, since inevitably some joints have to be corrected, and a number of the joints have to be unscrewed for more rods to be added as the assembly progresses. The metal rods will not be a problem in summer heat, the reviewers said, but the rods felt cold at freezing temperatures. We are very pleased (5 stars) with the product overall and anticipate a lot of interest. The family already has a parachute that will be fun to put over it. But the assembly problems took off one star in expectations. Since you are now forewarned, I urge you to get this product!

We love the Ace Flyer. It is different and all the kids love it! Not to mention a few adults that can't stay off of it! It is sturdy, does not blow over in the wind (and we live in a very windy area) - Would definitely recommend and you can't beat the price especially if you qualify for free shipping!

My daughter loves this play set. It took 2 people about 1.5 hours setting up. We could have gotten done sooner but didn't feel like busting butt. The colors are ok. I would have liked the green and brown but they are always sold out. In a few years I will probably spray paint it. Would buy again.
