My kids as well as the children I have in my in home daycare have LOVED this! It is age appropriate for ages 4-12 years. The younger toddlers aren't able to climb it but do enjoy playing inside the dome. I am so glad I got this size, instead of the larger size I was considering. My husband and I put it together in less than 2 hours total.

The kids love to play on this. The intersection hand holds make it very safe and easy for them to use. It's a great addition to our playground for the grandkids. The quality is terrific. We purchased the A-Frame playground and Airplane teeter totter because they will last a "lifetime".

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.

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.

We got the climbing dome about a month and a half ago. It took two adults about two hours to put together- the instructions were easy to follow, neither of us cried. It's a great size for my 3 and 5 year olds- they love it. As do all their friends that come over. It's the perfect size for our Chicago lot and is easy enough to move when mowing the grass.

My kids have loved having this in our backyard! It is very sturdy and strong enough that even my adult self has climbed on it without a problem. The instructions were overall pretty clear, and the pieces and hardware were nicely labeled. Our only issue with setting it up was that when tightening a bolt, it snapped. Lucky they give you one extra! However, even after being super careful because of that first snap we still had 2 others snap on us. Nothing that a quick trip to Home Depot couldn't solve, but beware with the tightening! It was tricky getting the snapped bolt pieces out of the holds. One thing to note, the metal bars on this get very hot sitting out in the desert sun. My kids can't play on it during the day, as it will burn them.

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.

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.

We bought this 5 years ago. It was kind of a pain to assemble, but lots of big stuff is so no big deal. It seemed it kind of bent easily whenever we moved it around to mow under it but sturdy when the kids were on it. After 5 years it's already rusty on the parts that touch the ground, and some other places. The bigger issue? As we tried to take it apart to move it to our new house, all the allen head screws stripped. No way to get them out. Already tried all the hacks, got a screw extractor set that won't work because they're Allen head screws rather than regular ones. The bars are now bent and cracking where we got a few pieces taken apart from the pressure of not being supported. The whole thing is now trash. Really expensive toy for only 5 years of use. And we have 5 young kids all upset that we have to throw it away.
