This is a very sturdy climber. The directions were easily followed and my husband was able to assemble it himself until he needed my help just to hold pieces together while building the top layer. We installed our climber on a thick lawn and I was worried that we would need some sort of anchors to keep it in place, but it is very heavy and so we have had no problems with it being unstable. I can hang all of my weight off of one side of it to deliberately try to tip it over and it doesn't budge. It is a little large for my 4 year old grandson now, but with supervision and a small stool he is able to pull himself up, hang from the bars and drop to the ground safely (sticks the landing!). The metal bars don't get too hot to hold in the Colorado sunshine and they are easily gripped due to the coating. No problem giving this dome 5 stars!

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.

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.

Great product. Very Sturdy. My granddaughter loves it. Plays on it every day. Easy to set up once you get going. I assembled it alone and was done in about two hours. Two people would be faster. Pay extra attention to the drawings and the placement of arms. Again great product. A business that is easy to do business with, becoming a rarity these days.

We moved to a new location, and I had to disassemble our dome prior to moving so we could pack it and bring it with us. It's only a couple years old so I didn't want to leave it with the old house. In the process, I stripped a couple of the bolts and many of the nuts were pretty rusty. I contacted Lifetime to ask after what size bolts and nuts I should get as replacements or if they offered replacements. I was shipped a full set of nuts, bolts, and washers at no charge. In these days of supply shortages and relative high cost of doing business, that's just dang impressive. The kids love the dome. It's back up and in service at our new house and primed to go what seems like a few decades.

This dome has been a godsend during this stay at home era. It took a while to get it but it is well worth it. It us colorful and durable. My kids love the height of it and the hand grips. Thank you do much for this equipment. It replaced a plastic dome which lasted a few years when we had toddlers. I should have bought this dome first.

Second dome climber for our family. I built both of them by my 5-foot-3 buck-25 self. Set aside a couple hours, watch the YouTube tutorial, read the instructions. You will be satisfied with this climber. Worth every penny. We have a parachute that we put over the top to turn it into a shady fort on sunny days. Brightens up the backyard a ton.

The dome did take a while to get here, but there is a pandemic going on after all. When we received the package it took my husband only an hour to out it together. All of the pieces were there, the directions were clear, and my three kids ages 8 and under love it! Its a great product and seems like it will stand the test of time in our Maine weather.

This is very sturdy and easy to assemble. My grandchildren (of all ages) love this! We spend many hours outside playing on this climbing dome. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our purchase. And what a Great value for the price!! I cannot say enough good things about this product.

I was happy with my purchase of the Climbing dome until i noticed several parts had bubbled and rusted within 2 months of assembly. The service rep offered to send me touch up paint and instructions on how to sand the parts down. I advised him I would not want to compromise the durability of the parts and asked if i could just get replacement parts. he responded that yes, he could send but needed photos of the damaged parts, model and part numbers, and the dated receipt. I did not have a receipt as I order the dome online, so I sent the emailed order confirmation from Walmart. (which included date order was received online). This was not what the rep needed to fulfill my request, he again advised a dated receipt was required. I called Walmart service center and asked for a dated receipt. They instantly emailed it to me. I forwarded this email (receipt from Walmart) directly to the Lifetime rep. The rep still did not approve of this proof of purchase. He replied that as a "one time courtesy", he would send the requested parts. I am not happy with all I had to do to be granted the parts. so, If I have any other defects (which I'm thinking I might if the dome has already started to bubble and rust), I guess I wont be able to get replacements. I am not going to take a chance and purchase any other Lifetime product ever. There are so many other pay ground equipment companies that I can choose from. What annoys me even more is that there is another review that indicates replacement was available with just a quick call. I would have called, but the hours of operation for the call center are limited.
