After purchasing the earthtone swing set and Adventure Tower Deluxe, we had to get this awesome climbing dome. I mean, come on...it matches! Plus, our kids love it and it gives them one more fun thing to do outside instead of making bigger messes in our house.

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 dome climber is such a good investment my kids cannot get enough outside time. I took a while to put this together definitely needed the second person. I follows the instructions along with the YouTube video of the Lifetime guy putting it together to make sure I was doing it right. I can see us having this dome for several summers.

Our kids are 10, 7, and 3 and after being frustrated by poor quality on a supposed top brand expensive wooden playset, we saw the good reviews on this and decided to try it. Their favorite part of the previous set had been the monkey bars. Assembly took 2 men 2 1/2 hours. The instructions were a big help. The kids are thrilled with it. The youngest hasn't quite figured out how to climb to the top, which is just fine, but that will happen soon enough. My 150 lb self can climb it, it seems very sturdy.

We love this geodome. Big problem that it rusted after one year. Major rust after two years, then moved and have to reassemble. Major undertaking with steel wool and heavy duty paint. I hope the company contacts me! I am doing it because my children love this. I want to do it correctly. Thank you.

We have a daycare so the height of this climbing dome was safe while at the same time somewhat challenging for the 4 years to climb. The assembly definitely requires two people but the directions were easy to follow. The metal bars appear to have a durable coating of paint on them which I hope won't chip and rust in the future

The perfect complement to our Lifetime swing set.  Same color scheme and everything.  Easy to put together (doable by yourself, but easier with a partner).  Sturdy.  Holds all 240 of me without issue.  Thoughtful placement of grips make the climbing dome safe to explore.  Neither of my kids are bit enough to get to the top on their own, but they've both found lots of ways to climb and hang.  A great piece of equipment to grow with.  

We were missing 2 climbing rocks from this dome we bought secondhand. I contacted customer service and they are sending me the 2 missing rocks for free. This is such amazing customer service. They were prompt in response to my email and to boot sending product for free. I am so grateful and I will be sure to look at other potential products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Dome Climber has been a great addition to our backyard adventures this summer. I was a little concerned about adding any play equipment to the yard, out of fear that it would require maintenance, but was delighted to find out the Dome Climber requires none. I found the materials to be sturdy and high quality, and handle Utah’s extreme weather with ease. I’m happy to say that the unit fit easily into the back of my SUV, and I was able to get the box loaded into my car with the help of a store employee. I had to leave on a business trip the evening I brought the Dome home, so I didn't have time to assemble it. My kids were excited, so my wife decided to give it a go solo. She finished it in about three hours. She told me that the parts were clearly labeled and assembly was easy as long as long as you followed the directions closely. She said that if thorough step by step directions with pictures hadn’t have been included, assembly would have been difficult. The only issue we had, was my wife didn't know her own strength and sheared a few of the bolts. Lifetime included a spare bolt, but we needed a few more. I contacted Lifetime about getting replacement bolts and they took great care of me. They mailed the replacements to my home at no charge and in a timely manner. As you can see from the photos, we have a really large, expensive high-maintenance playset for my boys that they barely use. I should have bought it from Lifetime. I would have paid a fraction of the cost and it would have held up much better. The Dome Climber has been a much different story. It is like pulling teeth getting my boys off of the Dome Climber. It is worth every penny. They absolutely love it! My boys are constantly inviting friends over to enjoy it, and it has unlocked parts of their play and imagination I hadn't seen before. My wife and I are thrilled! Thank you Lifetime!

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.
