This was by far the worst product I ever spend money on for a outdoor back yard kids play set. Where do I began with this horrible nightmare. To start when I picked this Geo Set up from Walmart the box was shipped in the worst condition you could imagine. Next when I got home to assembly this Geo Dome the direction offer little to no help at all and to top things off, there was a shortage of nuts and bolts. It was also missing about 10 of the climber grips. I would advise you to save your money it's not worth the headache.

This is used daily and wlthe propeller/steering wheel has come off multiple times. Not a great way to attach the two. Mostly sturdy, should have been put together with lock nuts. Have spent lots of time retightening screws. Love that there is a diagram on tail of actual airplane functions.

I like the muted earth tones for my natural yard. my son is exploring and learning how to fall like a champ. he took to it immediately, I had to keep him off while I was building it. he's 2 1/2 but a climber already. love it. good quality, and just light enough that i can move it by myself around the yard when desired.

Our kids have been climbing on the dome for over five years. It's super sturdy and lends itself to lots of imaginative play, or just a place to hang out on, or in. A storm recently brought a gigantic tree limb on it, and only two bars were bent. Replacing them were easy thanks to excellent customer service.

I just set it up with my 5 year old daughter and it took 3 hours. It was a lot of fun to work with her on setting it up. It is definitely helpful having an extra set of hands. This is a great climbing structure for the backyard during the Global Pandemic!

Warning: You may not love your kids enough to assemble this thing. Mine is going to be returned, so I suppose I don't. Full disclosure: I do love my kids. But after several attempts to get this thing together, I'm throwing in the towel. My main problems are with the cheap quality of the pieces (the thinner parts bend quite easily) and the abysmal way the pieces are labeled with their part numbers. The build quality was way cheaper than I expected from a Lifetime product. With two people trying to assemble the unit, the spans bent very, very easily near the points where they are secured together. This problem was exacerbated after disassembling the unit several times, because... The stickers with the part numbers for the spans are placed right where the spans rub together when you're assembling the unit. The stickers very quickly rub off, so that you can no longer read the part number. This makes it impossible to reassemble the unit, because there are at least two different part types that are completely indistinguishable from one another, so they cannot be identified without the part number. And so, we gave up. We own quite a few Lifetime products (tables, chairs, Wiggle Racers, an Airplane Teeter Totter, etc.), and we've never been this dissatisfied.

We ordered both the Big Stuff Swing Set and Climbing Dome together. Both were shipped together and both were confirmed as delivered together but in reality only the swing set arrived. I called Lifetime and was on hold for thirty minutes before connecting with a human. The rep I spoke with recommended I call the freight company directly as she would have to “jump through a lot of hoops” and it would take some time. I called the freight company directly and they confirmed our delivery came up short per their manifest. They said they would try to track it down across the three different hubs it passed through on its way to us. All told it took about an hour on the phone with two different companies. Who wants to do that? The following day Lifetime called and confirmed the dome had gone missing. They offered to resend it but it would take over a month in a best case scenario as it’s back ordered. I requested they cancel the order and credit us the funds, which I was told would take several weeks. I get wait times are long nowadays and things get lost but I was so disappointed that no apology or regret was conveyed. Maybe I expected better customer service ordering from an American company but a simple “we’re really sorry this happened” would have gone a long way.

It took two men and one woman (to read the instructions for the men) less than two hours to assemble this. Six of my grandkids are between 2 and 10 years old and they ALL love it. I bought the matching jungle gym also. My goal was to get the grandkids away from the electronics and outside moving around - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!

This climbing dome is exactly what you need if you have very active children. Grandchild in my case. He has spent many hours playing on this. I bought the bigger style so my grandson can use it for years to come. It also holds up to 600 lbs so he can have his friends play on it w/ him.

Great build, the gauge of steel and the powder coating are very robust and should last for decades. The green and tan color is also very nice as it is quiet and not distracting of garden view. Please though, set it up with two people and plan on 2 hours from start to finish.
