This is hands-down one of the best investments for our children (girl, 6 & boy 2.5) to date!! The play is endless & creativity impressively explosive! Right now our son uses it for creative play to hide and protect himself from everyone or he pretends he is trapped but the fun never ends, lol, especially with his sister around! It helps to get their energy out (at least older of the 2), she runs straight to it after school everyday & in fact loves it so much she includes it in her journal entries at school from time to time.

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.

We recntly finished our yard. We put in a lifetime playset, ace flyer, and dome climber. All of the items are in the earthtones colors. My children and all the neighbordhood children love all of the items. I also get a lot of compliments about how nice they look.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids preschool had one of these and my kids loved it. They would play on it for hours so I decided to get one for my back yard. It was a great addition to the backyard and would definitely recommend this to anybody with children.

We gave this to our daughters for Christmas last year and did not regret it. It's been a constant source of enjoyment since. It was easy to put together (time consuming, but the instructions are easy to understand) and it still looks brand new after four months of weather and sprinklers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. It's a cheap way to bring more entertainment for your children to your backyard.

This is a cool piece to add to backyard playground. My biggest complaint is that after only about a year having it, the beige color started to rust. Now after a couple years, it's fully rusting on just that color it seems. I'm thinking about spray painting the whole thing, but for a LIFETIME product, I don't feel like I should have to do this. Disappointed.

Our playgrounds are all closed and our backyard won't fit a swingset so this is PERFECT for our 4 and 6 year old (and I suspect it will be for several years). Our kiddos immediately started playing on it and we can see their confidence improve (like playgrounds can do). We used a large blue tarp we had as a cover and voille! its a fort! I researched domes and found this to be the highest quality I could find. Highly recommend.

I bought a dome climber to match our Lifetime swing set. My grandchildren are ages 8 and younger. All the children 2 and older are loving this dome. They come up with creative ways to play, and it is fun to put a tarp or blanket over it and make a castle, clubhouse, etc. (I plan to get the Lifetime cover as well.) I worried the little ones would fall through and hurt themselves, but it seems to be engineered so that those who can climb high are strong enough to hold on and swing down, while those I would worry about are not quite able to climb high enough to be in danger. The instructions were very clear--it probably would have taken one helpful son-in-law 1 1/2 to 2 hours to put it together alone, but it took 3 hours with his team of very young "helpers." It is easy to move. Of course, it looks great and is very sturdy and well made, like all Lifetime products I have tried. No nicks or chips--it is just a fine product.

We bought our Dome Climber in the Spring of 2014. We had purchased a "driveway basketball net" for our granddaughter, and the insert advertised this Dome Climber. I was excited, because I had been wanting to add another piece of equipment to our backyard, because my granddaughter was out growing our swing set! But I hadn't found anything appropriate, until I saw the Dome Climber! I ordered it immediately and I have never regretted it. The Dome Climber has held up well, even with Ohio's crazy weather. Because it has low and high bars, it is great fun for children of all ages. My granddaughter 11 yrs. old,climbs up and sits on the top. My 7 yr. old grandson swings back and forth, climbs all around the bars on the outside, and hangs upside down. My 2-1/2 year old grandson hangs from the bars, when his Daddy helps him. He walks in and out of it, and will soon be climbing like his older cousins. We've clothes pinned sheets over it and turned it into a playhouse a few times. Even my Service Dog, a tall black Labrador, enjoys walking in and out of it, and sometimes lays in the middle to rest. I have never been happier with any other playground equipment we have ever purchased. We bought the "earthtone" because at the time, my grandson was into G.I.Joe & camouflage. He loved the color right away! I am so happy that your basketball hoop for the driveway had a flyer in the box advertising this awesome Dome Climber! It is well-built for children of all ages and it's made very safe! The hand and foot holds strategically placed, help the children climb and also keep the joints covered where the climber is screwed together, bar by bar! It came with easy to follow directions, and all the parts were in the box, even all the hardware. It is the very best piece of backyard playground equipment we have ever purchased. Honestly!! We all love it.

My husband, myself,and our teen put this together is under two hours. First, we read through the instructions so we got the overall idea, then once we got the pattern going, it was easy. Very sturdy and inviting. The bolts and nuts are high quality stainless steel.
