Purchased this through Costco a little over a month ago. Set it up a week ago took a little while approximately 3 hours instructions were not clear about direction to put screws in as diagrams were vague and not very descriptive. My children loved it made my 4 year old son so proud when he could climb to the top and my little girl played house in it. It was prefect for our yard and due to the current situation with COVID-19 and all playground being closed we were so happy they had it to climb on. This evening received an email from Costco explaining that the manufacturer used extensive amount of Barium in the paint which can cause adverse health effects and the product has been RECALLED. We are to take it apart and dispose of the product. We were advised that we will receive a refund for the purchase. But my children have now had everything taken away school playgrounds, friends,family and now their beloved climber talk about an emotional heart break for my 2 and 4 year old kids. I now am scrambling to find something good quality to replace this as my children are going to be heart broken when I take it down, and have to throw it away. If i was told about this recall 2 weeks prior there would not have been an issue the children would not have known about it, and there would not be the emotional trauma that this will cause them. I wish Lifetime had done more prior to selling the product, for example test for the adverse chemicals in their products prior to them being sold. Just disappointed with the whole situation and really left in the dark as i am unable to speak with any sales rep. would not recommend this product obviously. also all other geo climbers are currently out of stock does not help the situation. I am currently bracing myself for a lot of tears and heart break in the coming days.

Was a little rough to put together but the steel is powder coated to keep from getting too warm. It is very sturdy and the kiddos can climb, swing, do flips etc. You can move it around on the grass so no wear spots and easy mowing. Put a sprinkler under on a warm day and watch the fun. Sturdy enough for me to be able to play as well. Super purchase!!

We have had our teeter totter for quite a few years now. It has been used in so many creative ways. Pretend traveling games, shooting wars, obstacle courses, etc. It can fit a lot of kids at the same time, and has been played with by adults as well. I love anything that encourages my kids to play outside and use their imaginations.

Bought the Geodome from Amazon with an open box discount. When it showed up I layed out all the parts and noticed it was missing some washers. I called customer support and they shipped me out more than I needed at no extra cost. My kids love this thing. It'll even hold my weight. Very good product.

Bought the dome climber along with the swingset. It was a little bit of a hassle putting together just because of the ackwardness of the shape. It did take an extra two people to help hold the opposite sides as I was working on the other to help hold the bars together to put the bolts on it. It went up very quickly this way too. Other than that, my only complaint is that it is way to big for my 3 yr old to enjoy. She get her legs up on the first bar but that is about it. Also the paint on the bars is very slippery.

My husband and I spent about two hours one Saturday afternoon assembling the dome climber with little trouble. We found what worked best for us was to lay everything out the way it would be assembled before actually attaching everything. Our only complaint was for the instructions to have a little more detail rather than just a few words and two large pictures. Once it was assembled, we tightened all the joint pieces for my added piece of mind. Moving it from our driveway to the backyard wasn't that difficult either so I don't feel you have to assemble exactly where you plan on your kids climbing. We had talked about purchases some anchors to keep it in place in case of high winds, but we have yet to do so.

We love it!!! Love the brown n green looks great in the back yard next to the swing set! Great price!! we just put it togeter a few days ago. it was a xmas gift for my almost 4 year old son but decied to give it to him early to enjoy it durin the nice fall weather. my husband and i put it together fairly easy..the box was smaller then i thought but was prtty heavy about 150lbs. fits fine in any suv/hatch backs, mayeven fit in smaller cars if your back sits go down or u have nothing and no one in the back seat. we wanted to surprize our son so we did it while he was sleeping but he woke up when we were in the middle of it. he came to the back door n saw us buliding it. he was so excited! he ran n got his boots on to come help n said thanks for my new jungle gym mommy n daddy while he jumped up n down!:) def a great buy!!

My kids got this as a Christmas present from grandma and grandpa last year, and it has been awesome! They spend a good portion of their day using their imaginations "flying on the airplane" with each other and with the neighbor kids! My kids ages range from 1-7 and they all have fun enjoying it!

My kids love the dome and it's VERY sturdy!! The only issue was assembly! We were short a few nuts and had to omit them. The instructions are very vague and hard to follow. We ended up looking at the picture on the box and putting it together our own way. If you buy this, good luck! Deep breaths and take your time lol

We owned this for years and then passed it on to our friends when we moved. I am still amazed at how well the colors have lasted without fading. I was also shocked to see how many kids we could fit on it. All the neighborhood kids would come over to play with us on it. It can easily fit 10 kids. We loved it and were sad to let it go. (Thankfully we bought a dome climber to take with us when we moved)
