I followed the instructions step by step and had a little help for lifting things in place. The instructions were pretty straight forward. It took about 5 hours total to put together. It appears sturdy and my grandchildren love it. They didnt want to go home.

I rarely write reviews because most products are made fast and cheap. This company not only has very sturdy products that are well made but their customer service was top notch. Their products aren’t the cheapest but worth every penny. You will not be disappointed!

We purchased this for our small playground at church. It is great quality and the kids love it and were so excited when they first saw it. The only reason it doesn't have 5 stars is because the men who put it together said it was more complex to put together and had several pieces; but even they said it was worth it and they were very pleased with the outcome.

The directions were terrible! There has got to be a better way to assemble this thing! My husband and I did it ourselves and you have to connect and reconnect parts and the parts are not labeled clearly enough nor were the directions clear enough. The bags need to be labeled for each screw type better. We love it now that it is together but I truly dread ever having to move and/or take it apart again!

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.

Fairly well built. Some of the bolts in the cross-members would've been easier to get started if they had been about 1/4" longer. Took about an hour to assemble with three people working on it. Definitely attracts the kids and they seem to enjoy it.

I know I probably bought this climbing dome to soon as our children are only 1,2,3 years old, but this climbing dome is well made and will last lifetime. My husband put it up all by himself took him 3 hours . To are surprise our 3 year old can climb all by herself . Our other two toddlers enjoy running underneath and trying to climb. It won’t be to lone and they will be climbing too.

My autistic son fell in love with this at a private playground. It is a bit expensive but mostly medal and the one at the playground has been there a few years. Someone recommended treating with clear Rustoleum so I did before putting it together and sprayed all the connecting bolts and nuts after put together. I put this together by myself. I do NOT recommend doing that. It took a long time and was extremely difficult to hold larger pieces together to bolt them. At one point they recommended three people. Two to hold and one to bolt the plane to the base. Through excellent balancing, I was able to do this by myself but it took a couple tries. Also, I do not recommend waiting until a heat wave to purchase this. It’s together. I bought an artificial grass mat to put under it since it recommended not having it on grass due to moisture. I plan to have this for many years and foresee it holding up. I think the quality is great and the directions were fairly easy to understand.

This is a great toy for young kids with many health benefits. It can also act as a tent when you cover it with sheets. We had to go out and buy 1/4 inch longer bolts in order to be able to fasten the final blue length around the bottom. Love love love the geodesic dome by lifetime.

I bought this climber about a month ago. It arrived a week sooner than forecast. I was impressed with the quality of the components and the packaging. I found it easy to assemble by myself. When complete, it is 10 ft across at the base and just over 5 ft tall in the center. We placed it on a section of lawn. The only concern I have, being a retired engineer and metal fabricator, is that it must be lifted to be moved for mowing. Otherwise one can bend the lower joint which would fail eventually. Small metal braces, about 1 1/2 in wide and 4 in long, for both sides of the joint would be helpful.
