Incredibly sturdy - Kids won't leave it alone!

Picked this Climbing Dome up as a surprise for my two kids and couldn't be happier with the end result. The dome is incredibly sturdy - no concerns around multiple kids playing on it at the same time. Setup wasn't hard, but a little tedious, as the dome is shipped as a whole bunch of individual bars. The instruction manual made sense, but BE SURE TO READ THE WHOLE MANUAL before you begin - we got caught once or twice and had to back track, but overall, two of us got it built in a little over an hour. Lastly, you will want a 1/2" ratchet with an extender for the plastic caps that go on at the end. If I had one complaint, it's that every bar is individually wrapped in a plastic sleeve, which felt rather wasteful. Overall, this is a fantastic product. My kids (and a couple of neighbourhood dads) haven't left it alone since we built it three days ago!

Great product and great customer service!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!!

Love this!!

[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!

Great Climbing Dome

We bought this approximately 3-4 years ago for our grandkids, 2 and 4 at the time. They still climb on it. Had to replace the bottom connection pieces at they rusted out at the joints, however, this may be due to the landscaper's having to move it every week for lawn maintenance. Customer service was very helpful in obtaining replacements parts.

Confidence Builder

I bought this for my 5-year old and toddler sons. My older son has always been tentative when climbing on structures at parks. We live in a rural area, and he doesn't get much park time or much climbing practice. This climbing dome has helped him gain confidence and coordination at his own pace, without other kids crowding him, and without him feeling self-conscious about being cautious. He can climb to the top, and if it starts to feel precarious, he just hangs down from his arms and falls 8"-12" safely to the ground, landing on his feet. My toddler likes to duck in and out of the bars and go inside the structure. It has been a fun piece and a nice companion item to their Lifetime swing set. With both products I purchased, I copied assembly tips from the reviewers into a document, and gave it to my handy woman to help with assembly. For the climbing dome, she followed the alternate assembly advice from one of the reviewers, and built the main dome in about 2 hours by herself with my son handing her tools (and me helping her lift one part, just one time). Attaching the black hand holds took about another hour. My play ground equipment was the first she ever assembled, and she said it was fairly easy. So far, this is a nice, solid piece of playground equipment. My oldest son is 4' tall and weighs 58 pounds, so I was worried that the joints would start to loosen with extended play, but so far, so good! Both boys really enjoy it.

Excellent customer service

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had the dome climber for several years and my son loves it. Recently, a branch fell on it during a bad storm so I contacted the company requesting a replacement strut to replace the broken one. They sent it free of charge. That's good customer service!

sturdy

Even a 59 year old woman could put this together! Took a little time but worth the wait!

So much fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 7yr old loves gymnastics and she loves this! She spends hours climbing all over it.
