Well designed and we made. It should last a long time. More difficult to put together following the instructions than it should be. Suggest better instructions from the manufacturer. We finally ignored the instructions and followed the picture on the cover of the box. It takes two people to build unless you are blessed with a third hand. It took about 3 hours to put together. We could do it quicker now that we have done it once. Note in the instructions that you put the correct bars in the correct locations. There to different diameter tubes for different locations. Don't let me comments deter you from purchasing this unit if you are not particularly mechanically inclined. It is not that difficult once you follow the picture. We added pressure treated wood blocking under the bars on the ground to keep the bars off the wet ground. This should help keep the bars from rusting and the unit should last much longer.

I bought this for my 5 grandchidren. They are ages 7-2. They all love it! I put it together myself (grandma) with just a little bit of help holding the 2 sides of the fusalage while bolting them together. I do have 1 suggestion. Everything uses an Allen Wrench, or 2. You will save yourself alot of pain and frustration if you put one on a cresent wrench. I would have never been able to get the big bolts in without it.

This toy is very well made. I can see it lasting years. I was surprised when it was delivered and the box weighed 100+ pounds. I can't believe they offer free shipping on this product. I'm not sure why so many people reviewed that the directions were hard to follow. They were very simple directions and all of the pieces are marked. My husband put it together in about 2 hours using a rachet wrench, rachet, and a drill with an allen bit. (While tripping over 4 excited kids) It's a lot easier to assemble if you don't tighten any of the joints down all the way until the end. I posted pictures on Facebook and everyone wants to know where we bought it! This piece perfectly completed the back yard park we were going for. The kids love it!

We have had the dome climber for several years and my son loves it. Recently, a branch fell on it during a bad storm so I contacted the company requesting a replacement strut to replace the broken one. They sent it free of charge. That’s good customer service!

My boys, 9,7,3 love this. They climb on it for hours, play cops and robbers. My 3yr old gets in the middle of it and plays with his toys. I have 3 monkeys and this was perfect for our kids. You do need 2 people to start off, but after you get it started one person can finish. I love the earth tones as well.

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.

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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Imagine the excitement as my two boys ages 4 and 20 months first discovered their new airplane! The novelty hasn't worn off yet and my two budding pilots are in love with this teeter totter. The best thing about this is that multiple kids can enjoy the ride and all ages are allowed to participate. What a way to bring home a gift that is the neighborhood favorite! Parenting win!

We actually bought two of these. One for us and one for a friend. My friends was fine, but our box had a tear in it. We discovered that all of the bolts were missing. I went to customer service and looked for a way to order and purchase a new set. I bought the item with an open box, so I figured it was my fault for not double checking. I received an email the next business day stating that they shipped all new bolts for free. Wow! Not what I was expecting. They were wonderful!!
