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.

I got this a few weeks ago and my girls LOVE it! They are constantly climbing and playing on it! My oldest daughter is a little gymnast and she loves to use it to practice on! It’s perfect for making into a fort, swinging on, my girls love hanging upside down on it, and I love that multiple kids can be on at once! Such a great buy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this about 5 years. This is still standing strong and sturdy. For several years my kids hung a swing from the top, and they found that real fun. The only issue is that it's heavy when I drag it so I can mow under it. Wait is being solid and heavy a bad thing?

We bought this for my 6 year olds birthday last year and they play on it constantly. It's where the kids hang out when they come over and is the perfect size for small and big kids. It's holding up great even after a year. My husband and I put it together by ourselves, it was easy with 2 people. She loves it and we got it for a great price.

Buyer beware! This outdoor climbing structure does not last long when used outdoors. Our structure has completely rusted on the bars and joints, I have to throw it away as it is no longer safe for my children to use. Waste of money, will not be purchasing from Lifetime again.

This is exactly as described. It was fairly easy to assemble...we did have the dads of the grandchildren who will be using it assist us. The kids are 3, 7 and 9. The 3 year old is the bravest on it. Delivery was faster than anticipated. The only suggestions, would be to better differentiate between the two colors on the directions. I am sure that will be many years of fun and enjoyment in our yard when grands come to visit.

Our 12yo, 6yo, and their friends all enjoy playing on this. I do wish Lifetime would offer accessories like a disk swing, net seat, fort canopy, climbing rope, etc. ours has been put in the Midwest elements for a year and looks exactly the same...seems to hold up well. You will need at least two people to put this together. Follow the directions, even better if you can watch the video, and do not tighten everything until you have it all connected. Some of the hand holds still wiggle a minuscule amount, but overall it is very sturdy. Happy with the purchase!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love climbing on this dome! The paint has held up over years of sun, rain and snow. Strong enough for adults, too! Hand holds are helpful for climbing. Well built, expecting continued years of entertainment.

I was excited to have made the purchase. Even more excited now that it is built. It is taller than me in height and I’m 5’2. It was pretty easy to build given that you are building a dome. Sturdy enough for an adult to climb on top, WITH the fear of falling off lol, and light enough to move around in the yard to cut the grass. Definitely an investment especially in these times. Buy it!! My 3yo needs a step stool but she still plays on it, in one day she has learned how to climb! My 5yo climbs easy on it and my oldest,10yo, loves it too.
