My daughter discovered this climber at a friends house. She pretty much spent the entire party dangling and climbing. Before I knew it the climber was purchased and set up on our lawn where it continues to be climbed upon. It's now the go to toy for both kids (5 and 2). I would not hesitate to recommend This and I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

My kids LOVE this!!! They are 7 & 10 and it is a perfect fit. I was worried that it wouldn't be a good size for my 10 year old, seeing the recommended age, but it is perfect. I was glad that I read the reviews before I bought it, as it helped me with the assembling of it. DO NOT tighten completely before you finish, as you have to keep adding pieces. It took me 2 hours to put together, myself and my 2 kids. It is perfect for them as they are really to big for the little slides and swings that come with a swing set. Would definately recommend!!!

Walmart staff helped load into my minivan. The dome was perfect, paint was perfect, all pieces included and wrapped and labeled. The instructions are easy enough. It took me a total of about 3 hours maybe 3.5 but I worked on it over two days alone. I watched a youtbe video first, it didn't show much detail as far as the layout of the ends of the bars, but the instructions did. When you put the hand holds on make sure you fit then with the slightly narrower end toward the end of the bar - you will know when you set them on. Kids love it, I have two 9 year olds and a 5 year old.

Ordered this item for my granddaughters in another state. Item arrived as promised and my son had no problem picking it up. It has not been assembled yet due to the snow, but the girls are excited and can hardly wait. It was great being able to order this item from California and having my son pick it up in Colorado.

I have to admit, the climber is built better than I thought it would be. Not sure about the six hundred pound limit, but I weigh 300 and it held me easily when I tested it. It took me and my 10 year old about 1 1/2 hours to put together following the directions. I did not follow the directions when assembling the green five arm pieces. It said to tighten them, I left them barely loose. Then after everything was assembled, lifted the climber up to align it, then tightened all the bolts. I read a review that said the climber was hard to move around for mowing. If you move it by lifting one side up and drag it, I do not think it will last very long. If you get inside and pick it up by pushing up in the top center, I think this climber will last for a very long time.

We have had this since it was first introduced. Our grandchildren hovered around while it was being put together, and immediately jumped aboard when it was finished. There are enough seats and actions to provide enjoyment for a group of kids. It has provided thousands of hours of flying time for the 10 grandchildren and now 3 great-grandchildren. The thing is so durable, and has only needed a washing periodically. It still sit in the kids play yard now waiting for the next little ones to visit. (I expect it to be out there when I am gone.) This was the best investment for the children and us.

We bought this for our daughters family at least three years ago. Was easy to assemble (grandkids even got to help) and they have been using it hard since. Currently they have seven kids of their own and often have friends over. Great product. Thank you.

As a kid, I would have loved one of these! What girl or boy doesn't dream of flying? With this toy, they will find endless ways to pretend and play. Whether they're flying to the rescue to put out a forest fire, explore the rainforest, or deliver their friends to their vacation destination at the end of the rainbow, there are so many possibilities. We are thinking of buying a second one.
