[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dome 4yrs ago. We now have 6 kids the oldest is 9. Every year it is used by our 4 boys and daughter as well as visiting children. It has had at least 8 kids on it simultaneously. We drag it around the yard when we mow, and it never sits on a perfectly level spot. Do I wish it was? Yes. Do I wish we took better care of it? Yes. But is it doing exactly what it's intended to do despite the abuse? Yes! For us it has not been a waste (at all) of financial resources to have this in our backyard!

Recently did a 10X8 Lifetime shed and one of the playsets. Found the Geo Climber and figured if it would "round off" the play area outside. Every bit as well built as the shed and playset. Put this together in about an hour on my own and it is easy to move around. Kids love it and I have had a blast on it too!! Lifetime products has a Lifetime customer. Kayaks next on the list.

Must have two people to assemble. Take your time and follow the instructions closely. Have twin boys... and they love it. It has created a whole new world for them to play on and dream under. Throw a big blanket over it and it becomes a fort or igloo. Also, they are getting stronger and more coordinated through their play. It's great!

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!

Bought this a year and a half ago for my at the time 10 year old son. set up was a pain, but in the end, a quality product. It has withstood baseball size hail, with no chips, rain, and high winds, snow,ect. Color stayed amazing, no chips, rust,dents, nothing. It stood its ground at 75+ mph winds, on unleveled ground.

I bought this 6 years ago for my mother's home. It's been perfect for her. Children of all different ages can play on it and anywhere from 1 to 6 or 7 kids have climbed all over it at once. It's held up great and is light enough to move around the yard, but still heavy enough that KIDS can't move it. It's kind of a novelty because it's different than most swing sets, which is great for a grandparent's home.

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!!!

We bought this item for our children ages 9 and 2. We had looked at wooden and metal swing sets and then found this item. I had previously tried to order it online and it was sold out and just recently was available again online. It took about 3 hours to set up(one the previous night with my two children helping and two the next day with my husband helping), the directions weren't 100% acurate on set-up but by looking at the picture and seeing what we had already done it came through. Make sure that you have an extended 1/2 socket wrench(or just plain 1/2" wrench) and the 3/16 allen wrench is included. Do not tighten any of the connections completely until the end. The directions tell you to tighten securely throughout but if you do this you will have to go back and loosen the connections so that you can get everything to fit just right. The bottom connections are a little tricky and it's helpful if you have two people...so that one person can squeeze it together and the other can put the second washer on and thread the locking nut in place. It is very sturdy we all had to try it out after set-up. Both the children can play on it equally even with the seven year difference. Good value for the money. Hope to enjoy for many years.

Picked this Climbing Dome up as a surprise for my two kids and couldn't be happier with the end result. The dome is incredibly sturdy - no concerns around multiple kids playing on it at the same time. Setup wasn't hard, but a little tedious, as the dome is shipped as a whole bunch of individual bars. The instruction manual made sense, but BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE MANUAL before you begin - we got caught once or twice and had to back track, but overall, two of us got it built in a little over an hour. Lastly, you will want a 1/2" ratchet with an extender for the plastic caps that go on at the end. If I had one complaint, it's that every bar is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve, which felt rather wasteful. Overall, this is a fantastic product. My kids (and a couple of neighbourhood dads) haven't left it alone since we built it three days ago!

Our kids are 10, 7, and 3 and after being frustrated by poor quality on a supposed top brand expensive wooden playset, we saw the good reviews on this and decided to try it. Their favorite part of the previous set had been the monkey bars. Assembly took 2 men 2 1/2 hours. The instructions were a big help. The kids are thrilled with it. The youngest hasn't quite figured out how to climb to the top, which is just fine, but that will happen soon enough. My 150 lb self can climb it, it seems very sturdy.
