High quality and easy to assemble (with help). But children being children, they swore they would love it endlessly and promptly abandoned it after the first week. While it occasionally gets use as a structure upon which they hang whatever ungodly items they pilfer from our recycling bin, or a seemingly nice place for them to string up the pulled apart pieces of their baby brother’s basketball hoop, it’s mostly become a great focal piece of the backyard. An ode to the endlessly fruitless cycle that is attempting to throw money at the pursuit of creating beautiful outdoor childhood memories for creatures who would rather spend their free time regaling you with how utterly bored they are. I think someday I’ll turn it into a hobbit house themed wine sipping dome.

High quality. 3 hours to put together for mechanically talented person with out haste. Parts came organized and labeled very well. Great product. Moveable by one person over grass, yet very stable for climbing. Two adults and 4 kids all on at same time, with no stability issues. Highly recommend.

Got this for our 6 and 8 year old for Christmas and they love it. I can’t speak to how assembly went, as my husband took care of that. He had a couple people help him and they were done in 2 hours or so. A few months after we got it, a large branch fell out of a tree during a storm and landed on our climbing dome, bending two of the bars. Customer service was amazing in helping me get the extra parts we needed to repair it. Highly recommend.

Warning: You may not love your kids enough to assemble this thing. Mine is going to be returned, so I suppose I don't. Full disclosure: I do love my kids. But after several attempts to get this thing together, I'm throwing in the towel. My main problems are with the cheap quality of the pieces (the thinner parts bend quite easily) and the abysmal way the pieces are labeled with their part numbers. The build quality was way cheaper than I expected from a Lifetime product. With two people trying to assemble the unit, the spans bent very, very easily near the points where they are secured together. This problem was exacerbated after disassembling the unit several times, because... The stickers with the part numbers for the spans are placed right where the spans rub together when you're assembling the unit. The stickers very quickly rub off, so that you can no longer read the part number. This makes it impossible to reassemble the unit, because there are at least two different part types that are completely indistinguishable from one another, so they cannot be identified without the part number. And so, we gave up. We own quite a few Lifetime products (tables, chairs, Wiggle Racers, an Airplane Teeter Totter, etc.), and we've never been this dissatisfied.

I bought the Climbing Dome for my grandchildren in the UK and after I assembled it I noticed one of the climbing handles had arrived broken. I contacted Lifetime and they are sending a replacement part from the US. Thank you to Adam in Customer Service who dealt with my issue promptly and efficiently. As for the Dome, I used the video and instructions together to build it, it takes longer than an hour to build and make sure you don't get the bars mixed up (I learnt the hard way with 3 of them!) It is very sturdy and the children (7 & 5yrs) love it! I would definitely buy Lifetime again :)

This dome was the perfect addition to our yard. Our son gets tons of hours on it climbing and hanging upside down. It did take 3 of us to put together but it wasn’t difficult. It’s sturdy and heavy enough to stay in place, but not too heavy to move in order to mow.

Lifetime's 66" climbing dome is perfect for my 5 year old grandson! It went together well with excellent instructions (took 2 people about 3 1/2 hours...but no hassle.) It is playground grade, very sturdy, can support a total weight of 600 lbs. It is a fun addition to our assortment of backyard activities. My grandson loves it.

I don't know how people put this together alone. I definitely enlisted the help of my kids because theres a point where you have to hold it up in order to connect it and you need at least four arms. Also, be warned that you need a very specific tool thats not included (a ratchet wrench). If you have at least one other adult and helpful child as well as a ratchet wrench then you will, it took us about two hours.

My wife purchased the climbing dome several years ago. The grandchildren have enjoyed playing on it when they come over. I moved the dome several times over the years when cutting the grass. Unfortunately, one of the bottom bars rusted out and broke. Called customer service and the young lady was very helpful. I ordered five replacement bars, just in case some of the others rust out as well over time. Young lady helped me placed the order and the replacement bars should be here in a couple of weeks.

This thing looks cool and is built to last. It feels like playground quality equipment. Very sturdy, I have my 2 boys and their 2 cousin monkeying around on this constantly. only time we’ve had an issue was when I decided to try it out. I’m 420lbs. I bent 1 piece, Lifetime sent me a free replacement no questions asked. I will continue to buy products from lifetime.
