This is amazing -- it's huge, big enough for my tall 9 year old to have fun on it. It's very sturdy, and not too hard to put together. When building it, note that there are different types of tubes -- they may all look the same but some are slightly thicker and have a different label, and go in specific places. Looking forward to a summer of fun with this climbing dome!

High quality and easy to assemble (with help). But children being children, they swore they would love it endlessly and promptly abandoned it after the first week. While it occasionally gets use as a structure upon which they hang whatever ungodly items they pilfer from our recycling bin, or a seemingly nice place for them to string up the pulled apart pieces of their baby brother’s basketball hoop, it’s mostly become a great focal piece of the backyard. An ode to the endlessly fruitless cycle that is attempting to throw money at the pursuit of creating beautiful outdoor childhood memories for creatures who would rather spend their free time regaling you with how utterly bored they are. I think someday I’ll turn it into a hobbit house themed wine sipping dome.

Each joint must be arranged in a specific order. We ended up having some trial and error, but once we figured out the pattern it was pretty simple. Watching the video helped, but there weren't close ups of each joint and how the bars are stacked. It took us under 3 hours, even with having to rearrange some joints and a snack break. One bar came scraped, so the missing paint section may rust but I will be reaching out to Lifetime about that. It didn't interfere with assembly or play. My kids absolutely love playing on it. We bought a small disc swing for the middle and that has added a lot of fun to it. 5 stars overall, but if we hadn't figured out some of the stacking on our own I would have definitely knocked it down.

The dome did take a while to get here, but there is a pandemic going on after all. When we received the package it took my husband only an hour to out it together. All of the pieces were there, the directions were clear, and my three kids ages 8 and under love it! Its a great product and seems like it will stand the test of time in our Maine weather.

We moved to a new location, and I had to disassemble our dome prior to moving so we could pack it and bring it with us. It's only a couple years old so I didn't want to leave it with the old house. In the process, I stripped a couple of the bolts and many of the nuts were pretty rusty. I contacted Lifetime to ask after what size bolts and nuts I should get as replacements or if they offered replacements. I was shipped a full set of nuts, bolts, and washers at no charge. In these days of supply shortages and relative high cost of doing business, that's just dang impressive. The kids love the dome. It's back up and in service at our new house and primed to go what seems like a few decades.

First, we have had this climbing dome for years and it is my kids favorite toy. The little kids love it and so do the big kids and it still looks just as nice as the first day we got it. The other day I went outside and noticed that one of the bottom bars had broken (it had been bent funny when being moved and snapped near the joint). Lifetime immediately sent out a new bar replacement free of charge! We are so happy with this product.

It's a quality product and my daugher loves it. I put a hanging disk swing inside and that's a hit. I watched the youtube video provided by Lifetime to assist with assembly. The hand holds do not fit exactly perfectly no matter what order you put the metal poles together so my only concern is over time the plastic handholds will get loose or even break altogether.

I wanted something other than the typical swing set and I wanted to encourage climbing and creativity in the play. When I saw the climbing dome made by lifetime I ordered confident in the quality as I own other lifetime products. I’m glad I ordered the larger size as the neighborhood kids are using it too. I called customer service to order a part to replace one my son broke while putting the dome together (he was using too much torque) and the service representative was so helpful, wish I could get that kind of customer service from other companies. Lifetime holds the gold standard in quality of products and customer service for me!

This dome has been a godsend during this stay at home era. It took a while to get it but it is well worth it. It us colorful and durable. My kids love the height of it and the hand grips. Thank you do much for this equipment. It replaced a plastic dome which lasted a few years when we had toddlers. I should have bought this dome first.

A friend gave us a Lifetime climbing dome when they moved out of town. Great product. One of the hand holds broke upon re-assembly. Lifetime replaced the hand hold free of charge. Their response was very quick and professional. The quality of service one expects, but seldom sees these days.
