[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] LIFETIME did it again! This dome climber is the best jungle gym I've ever seen. Kids can climb it like a mountain, hang on it, hang upside down from it, use it as a fort, and so many other things! Our kids are at the perfect ages to enjoy this now and to use it for many more years to come--they're 6 and 3. The 3-year-old can't really climb it on his own yet but loves hanging off of the nearest bars he could grab and jumping off. This is quite a big structure and the kids can stand straight up underneath it, making it a great fort to camp under. We love that it's very sturdy, a great structure that builds the kids' strength and agility, built to last, and the colors work great in our backyard! The kids had their friends over and they all had fun--including the parents! Two grown men built this in about 1.5 hours – it is helpful reading and carefully following the instructions (dads who think they know better). At one point when we were tightening the screws one broke off! But, thank you Lifetime for even thinking about that in advance as they gave extra nuts and bolts with the package. It does have a large footprint but that just means more kids (and adults) can be on at the same time. We trust the Lifetime brand to be solidly built and to last a lifetime, and we think this one definitely will.

It would definitely be easier to have 2 people to assemble. It’s too big for my 2 year old to climb right now but i’m sure he’ll be on it soon enough. For now, I installed a saucer swing in the middle so he is still able to enjoy it.

Took a while to assemble but the instructions were pretty straight forward. The app was very helpful. My kiddos (ages 4 & 7) love it playing on it every day! Time will tell if it will hold up in the FL weather.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Climbing Dome was a bit tricky to put together but the kids enjoy the product. Well worth the time to put it together. Appears to be excellent quality that should hold up to the Colorado weather.

Very sturdy - Grandpa, Dad and Uncle put it together in about 2 hours. Kids were on it immediately Big enough to entertain the older children - 8 and sturdy enough to feel comfortable with the 4 year old. Would buy again. The colors are great - they blend into the backyard so it is not jarring to see. We are very happy with the purchase!

This is a bit big for our 2 and 4 year olds, but they will grow into it. It’s easy to move for mowing and very sturdy. I don’t know why people were complaining about assembly. Read all of the directions first and have someone around to help with the last part of assembly. We had it up in about an hour.

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.

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!

I have owned the climbing dome since 2017 and it is still very sturdy and my two boys really enjoy it (6 & 10 years). I reached out to Lifetime recently as some of the hardware (bolts, washers, etc.) were corroded, or in the process of rusting and deteriorating. Customer Support swiftly resolved that issue by sending a full set of hardware. I would recommend applying an anticorrosive on the hardware prior to assembling to avoid having to struggle to remove them later, especially if you move as often as my family does.

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.
