Bought this 2 years ago and my girls really enjoy playing on it. Even had a cow crawl through the fence and into the middle of it which bent it a bit but able to unbend easily does require a little wiggling at the end of moving it to mow around. The girls have lots of fun and so do the neighbors that are 12+ years old.

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.

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.

I meant for my kids to use this as a climbing aparatus but it has a tarp over it most days and makes for a great fort! The boys have lots of fun in their boys only club house. The hand grips are great and also have multiple uses, such as strapping bungee cords across to hold hostages during battles, or hanging "no girls allowed" signs. This turned out to be a great investment both for me (keeps them busy for long stretches of time) and for my kids.

We actually bought two of these. One for us and one for a friend. My friends was fine, but our box had a tear in it. We discovered that all of the bolts were missing. I went to customer service and looked for a way to order and purchase a new set. I bought the item with an open box, so I figured it was my fault for not double checking. I received an email the next business day stating that they shipped all new bolts for free. Wow! Not what I was expecting. They were wonderful!!

Bought the Geodome from Amazon with an open box discount. When it showed up I layed out all the parts and noticed it was missing some washers. I called customer support and they shipped me out more than I needed at no extra cost. My kids love this thing. It'll even hold my weight. Very good product.

About 5 years ago we bought this for our grandchildren to play on when they came to our house. They have had so much fun playing on it. Earlier this year we bought a second one for one of our daughters when she recently bought a house. Easy to put together and has held up well with all the different weather conditions in the snowy North.

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

By Worlds Greatest Mom from Minnesota on 5/27/2009 Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. My 2 children LOVE the dome and play on it everyday. It is very sturdy, directions were easy to follow and my kids like having something that no one else has. I will buy from the company again!

Very impressed with the quality, it put together better than advertised, and looks great. Materials are sturdy, powder coated well with great non-slip material, colors are vibrant, hand holds are solid. Instructions are easy and feels very safe. My son loves it! thank you Lifetime
