It is very surdy but yet easily moved around the yard by one person. The box shipped quickly and came double packed in cardboard boxes with each individual pole wrapped in plastic to keep from scratching each other. All the parts were well labeled and in good condition. My only concern is it is labeled for 3-10 but with it being such few bars they are spaced quite far apart. It isn't a problem for my 4 year old nephew but is for my 4 year old son. He is working on getting the hang of pulling himself up it but for any kids on the short side it might take them some time to figure it out like my son.

Once its up, its a great dome but getting it together was a nightmare! You really need three people to assemble it and the way the screws go in is diabolical! Apparently this could have been done much easier if they used a different type of screw. Kids love it now that its up but when i have to get rid of it, instead of going through the nightmare of taking it apart, I think I'll just melt it down.  Seriously. Whoever designed this should really have put the thing together themselves because its totally obvious they didnt!!!!  All I can say is make sure you are putting the impossible to screw in screws in the right way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I do not own this, having made a trip to our local Lifetime store by daughter couldn't help but jump for joy at the site of this adorable little airplane teeter-totter. It was probably 102 outside in this wonderful Southern heat but that didn't stop her, the material on the toy wasn't even very hot, that was great considering every slide in town was on fire. She played on this tt for maybe ten minutes before I made her get off (I know I'm a mean mom) she had a lot of fun and still to this day asks if I "told grandma and poppa about that aeroKlopter that grandma can put in her backyard." for her and her cousins. I was actually really impressed by the quality of this product and surprised at how many kids would be able to fit on this with how convenient the size is. I was even able to sit down for a bit so if there were smaller children that needed help while riding in this, you would easily fit. It was a pretty smooth flight even with a toddler pilot. I think this would make anyone the hippest grandparent in town *hint* *hint* I will definitely be informing anyone with a large enough yard about this great product.

I brought this last weekend and it has been a great investment already I think I have got my moneys worth already :). My 2 year old is too small for it but even he seems to love just swinging on the bars, my nephew thinks I am the coolest aunt for this frame, all the kids on the block love it. Only 2 cons I have is one bottom connector doesn't rest on the floor but it doesn't make it unbalanced. The other is the blue paint comes off. Highly recommend

We gave this to our daughter for her 3rd birthday and she loves it!! She has a blast "flying" to the library or the grocery store. If she has friends over they'll all fly together or teeter totter on the wings. She had gotten a small teeter totter when she was about 18 months old but didn't use it much because a lot of the time she was by herself, so my husband or I would push on the other end which just wasn't as much fun for her. It's so great that this is designed to be more than just a teeter totter. I don't remember the weight limits but both myself and my husband have sat (at separate times) in the plane with her to "fly" somewhere and it felt very sturdy. Whenever her friends come over this is always a hit!! I also really like that there are three height levels so as she gets taller we can raise the plane up. The box was rough looking when it was delivered but it's double packaged so all the pieces were there. I was very impressed with how it is prepared for assembly. The hardware for each section is bagged separately and the instructions are very easy to follow. The only thing that gave us a hard time was one or two holes that didn't line up perfectly, so it took a little wiggling and pushing to get the bolt in.

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.

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!!

I bought this when my son was 2 and now he is almost 6. It is sturdy and durable to handle being outside year round and multiple kids playing. We have filled every seat at some points - so that is a total of 7 kids! The adjustable height allows it to be usable at all stages.

We had a geodesic when our children were young, so we bought this one for our grandchildren. They loved it, first with climbing and then with a cover over it, it became a kitchen, puppy house, etc. I read all the reviews before ordering, so I knew it was not going to be easy to assemble. I read all the instructions the night before - hi-liting key steps. We were making good progress then we hit a deadend. We stopped and took a break while I figured out where we went wrong. The rest went fine and we were pleased to quickly finish the dome and add the handholds. If you are considering a swing set, I would recommend the dome climber. A swing requires an adult to constantly be pushing young children. With the dome climber children are able to amuse themselves. We are pleased with it. It is very sturdy and our grandkids enjoyed it. We look forward to their next visit.

The kids love it. Assembly took longer than expected and I ran into some quality issues (one hole was not out to full size and several of the threaded tubes had to be tapped because they warped during the weld process or were full of paint.) So you need some tools and mechanical skills. But once you get it assembled it’s a lot of fun.
