Lifetime Playground Equipment. 5 Ft. Earth Tone Dome Climber

Kids love it.

Kids really love it, so it is well worth the money. They play on it, around it, under it, dangle off of it-which is scary for a parent to watch especially when they stand on it. Just make sure to place it on level ground and push the bottom bars down and out all around so it is steady. My husband and I put it together in about 30 min. at 9 pm with minimal light (but he is a builder while I read...

Kids really love it, so it is well worth the money. They play on it, around it, under it, dangle off of it-which is scary for a parent to watch especially when they stand on it. Just make sure to place it on level ground and push the bottom bars down and out all around so it is steady. My husband and I put it together in about 30 min. at 9 pm with minimal light (but he is a builder while I read out the instructions). I reviewed the instructions first and wrote in green bar with sticker or green bar w/o, brown bar with or w/o sticker, short bolt, long bolt, regular nut and nut with coating, 15 black climbing grippers and washers instead of looking at something like ADE to ADC to ADE connect to EFB-1 to EFE-2 with aa add ae...comes with everything to put it together except a socket wrench. Put together the bars and repeat then start adding bars to connect. JUST hand tighten the bolt/nut because you will need to remove the nut to add the next set of bars...tighten everything down at the end once you shape it and do a walk around to tighten everything up. It moves faster with 2 adults, but if I had to do it by myself it would be about 3 hours using the side of the house/fence/kids for help while reviewing the steps.

Nice - kids will love

So far so good - weather has been a little cold so she hasn't been able to play on it much. Took my husband a couple hours to put together by himself. Seems to be build good and not to heavy that it can be moved when or if needed. I'm sure when weather gets warmer her and her friends will love it.

5ft. Earth dome climber

My only complaint would be that all the ads said it was rated for 600 pounds. It said it on the company that makes its web site and on Homedepots, but when it came the specs said 400 pounds. Not sure why the conflict. My granddaughter loves it, and we feel very comfortable with it. The metal can be slippery. One of the locknuts stripped and we can't get it off.

My daughters, ages 9 & 5, won't get off of this climbing dome. They LOVE it! Arrived promptly. Directions straightforward.

The directions were straightforward. No parts were missing or defective. Took two adults a couple of hours to assemble. Earthtones colorway is nice--so that it's not a total eye sore in the yard! Also bought a LIFETIME playset through a different company. Very pleased with the quality of their products. Sturdy. Built to last for a long time with little maintenance.

Missing tool....

I purchased this for my 7 yr old son back in April and just getting around to putting it together because of yard work that needed to be complete. Just to find out that the box had already been opened, which means my item was previously returned and yes was not happy to see that the Allen wrench was missing. I called customer service and they told me that it would take 7 to 14 days to send out...

Not happy about this service and will now have to go out to the hardware store to purchase one myself!! Would love to really rate this item in it's entirety, but still waiting on my wrench!!!
