Bought the Geodome from Amazon with an open box discount. When it showed up I layed out all the parts and noticed it was missing some washers. I called customer support and they shipped me out more than I needed at no extra cost. My kids love this thing. It'll even hold my weight. Very good product.

This climber is very study and large. It is very comparable with what you see on play grounds. The price makes it a well worth purchase! Took my husband who constructed it alone about 2 1/2 hours to put together. Overall it wasn't that bad once you figured out the overall plan. He was able to construct it and still move it into an area where we wanted it in our yard. My kids ....especially my 6 yr old son who is a natural climber love it! I liked it because I felt it was a better/safer alternative to having him trying to climb our trees. I recommend for ages 4-12. (even my teens climbed it a couple times ).

This is a wonderful idea. I purchased this for my 4 yr old and as soon as my son and brother saw it they had to get one for thier children. All the neighbor children play in my yard now. I would highly recommend this product and any other product endorced by this company!!!

Bought this is September of 2016. Able to put together with minimal frustration. The true frustration came with the propeller/steering wheel repeatedly coming off. When the kids play on it, the bolts would loosen until parts would fall off. Frequent bolt tightening is a must if kids play on this a lot or you will lose parts. Also, this month the metal, hollow frame broke apart and needs to be welded back together. Not exactly what I expected after a year and a half. "Lifetime" products do not last a lifetime or even 2 years.

I have several grandkids from 2 - 7 years old and this has been a wonderful addition to the farm!! They can play on it, swing from it or play in the chip gravel underneath it with their trucks and toys. I have wanted to get them one for quite awhile but didn't realize Walmart.com carried them until a friend told me!! Very well constructed for lots of fun!!

This piece of equipment is very professional and strong. There is no fear in having multiple children (or even an adult or two) climbing it. It is very sturdy. It is also easy to move if you still want to be able to mow the grass beneath it or don't necessarily want to keep it in one place. It also looks great. It blends in and is not an eyesore due to the natural coloring.

I am happy with the quality of the climber for the price. In terms of outdoor play toys this is a great bargain. My daughter is only 2 and like to climb on it with some help but is probably too young to fully use it but we have had a 5 year old friend come play on it and loves it. The assembly at first seems overwhelming because the instructions are vauge, but once you get going it starts making more sense. I missed that on step one it says in small print at the bottom to repeat this step five times. I would have thought that should have been the first sentance of step one since that is kind of important to know. It took me 3 hours with many distractions during that time to put it together by myself. It is definately possible to put together yourself but it would go faster and smoother with 2 people. I am about 6 feet tall male with average strength and am able to get under the middle of it and lift it above my shoulders to move it 5-10ft out of the way to cut the grass every week. Our yard is not level but it does conform to the uneven ground well during assembly, but a flat location is best. Do not that the brown color pipes do have a muted earth tone that is nice but the dark green pipes do not blend well with my local plant life and it does make it stand out some. I am sure this may not be the case if your lawn is a deep vibrant green. The look of it is not a concern to us and overall everyone is very pleased with it.

I lost a bolt to my plane that kept the steering wheel and propellor attached. I emailed the company and they sent the replacement bolt free of charge!! I was so excited to put my plane back together to let the children enjoy again. Thanks Lifetime :)

The item is good, the instructions are extremely difficult to follow, its easier to follow the picture. You need to be an octopus to put it together, or at least have 2 to 3 other people help hold all the bars that have to be screwed in with the same bolt. The people who say it was so easy to put together must work for the company. It took 3 of us 3 hours and we will have to start again tomorrow to put the hand holds on and tighten it all up. Its not as strong as I was hoping..the metal seems a bit flimsy...but I'm sure it will last a year or so. If you are not an octopus, or don't have a couple people to help put this together...move on to a different toy.

By Worlds Greatest Mom from Minnesota on 5/27/2009 Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. My 2 children LOVE the dome and play on it everyday. It is very sturdy, directions were easy to follow and my kids like having something that no one else has. I will buy from the company again!
