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.

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.

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.] We purchased this 3 years ago for Mother's Day!! It is amazing and has held up beautifully. We don't take it down for the winter, and you would never know!! It super easy to pull it around so you can mow under it...that was super important for my husband. My kids love it and are always climbing on it. I've even had my sisters who have graduated from high school climbing on it with the kids!

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.

[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.

[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.

Unfortunately our package came with a missing piece. One of the beams labeled "CPC" was not in the box and we did not figure it out until we were about to complete the assembly process.That was very disappointing to say the very least as the kids are having difficulty understanding why we have this big, beautiful (it really is a beauty) structure meant to be climbed on just sitting in the yard and they are not allowed to come near it. I have tried to call customer service several times and after waiting 30+ minutes I am directed to a voicemail machine. This is incredibly frustrating and now I am afraid that we'll get stuck with an incomplete playset.

[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.

Purchased this dome 11 months ago. Assembled it only four months ago. Upon assembly, noticed that the powder coat on one bar was bubbled in one spot. That spot rusted within days of assembly. I submitted a warranty claim to Lifetime. I received a reply in 24 hrs, confirming that they would be sending a replacement bar and touch up paint. The replacement part arrived shortly after. I would not hesitate to buy another Lifetime product. Highly, highly recommend this company! The dome itself is super sturdy and the colors are bright and fun. A+
