When our daughter purchased her own home - we surprised our grandchildren with this. They have enjoyed climbing on our geo-dome whenever they come visit. They were very excited to get one of their own. It is easy to put together, and holds up well. We have owned ours for over 5 years. I foresee many years of fun for all our grandchildren. We own the red / blue one and we purchased the Earthtone one for my daughters house.

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 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.

[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 bought this approximately 3-4 years ago for our grandkids, 2 and 4 at the time. They still climb on it. Had to replace the bottom connection pieces at they rusted out at the joints, however, this may be due to the landscaper's having to move it every week for lawn maintenance. Customer service was very helpful in obtaining replacements parts.

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. I am out of town so I had this mailed to my 5' 95lb wife. She couldn't move the box so she took it piece by piece to the back yard and built it in less than a 6 hours total... She is great and so is the Dome, kids play on it until it gets too hot to touch... Then back out around 6 pm... I was a little hesitant dumping the project on the wife but she easily completed the dome so single ladies get'er done... Enjoy!

We purchased this climber for our grandchildren ages 4&5 for Christmas.They love it.The children are on the petite side so they are working their way to the top! I read a review about building upper body strength, and I feel this is true. Each time they climb ,they get a little faster. Its not too high 5 ft. at top that you have to worry about injury; as grandparents we like that part the best. Great price (walmart) no shipping , saved $$$ just on that .

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.

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!!

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.
