5.0 out of 5 stars Great buy!

This is such a great toy!Very sturdy, and it seems that it will last forever!My husband and I put this together and it didn't take that long. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. Each blue connector has two little nobs on each end that you need to push down to slide inside the green tube (those nobs will pop out into the little wholes of the green tube, and thats what holds it in place). The bottom connectors were really easy, but it gets progressively harder as you build up. Definitely not as hard as other reviewers say. After it was all put together I found a blue piece that didn't have a home. Only then I realized that this piece was a tool to push down on these nobs! It would be nice for that to be on the instructions! I imagine this tool is extremely helpful, as my hands were super sore from pushing those little things down (even using the back of a screwdriver).The little tower part could be less jiggly on my opinion, but still seems to be very safe.It is taller than I thought it was; about 4 feet tall.This toy is recommend for kids over the age of 2, but my 22 month old little climber loves it! She can climb all the way to the top, swing her body over to the center of the toy, move her hands down a bar, and jump down! My 4 year old soon likes hanging upside down on it and covering it with blankets to make a fort. We have this on the grass to cushion falls, but we didn't feel the need to anchor it. The wide base is very sturdy and I don't think I could tip it over if I tried.If your kid likes to clim or build forts, buy this! You won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Painful to put together. My thumbs still hurt!

Third edit, we've had this about 2.5 years. My kids are 5 and 3 now and there's rarely a day that they're not climbing on it. It's still in our living room. It's never broke or tipped over. I have not been able to get apart. We are moving and can't take it with us but the top square does unscrew and pops off. So now it fits out our regular sized front door and we are going to give it our friends kids. If I can give the product more stars I would.Second Edit. I'm upgrading from 3 to 5 starsI've had this for 3 months and the boys still play with it all day long. It helps keep my rowdy toddlers from climbing on everything else in the house. I highly recommend one of these. Especially for indoor use.(Edit:I'm upgrading 1 star to 3 stars. I have a 3yr who has been playing on this thing nonstop the past week. The top part is a little wobbly but after letting him go crazy on it. I'm pretty sure it's not going come apart.I'd like to have given it a 5 star rating, but I can't take it apart, my thumbs still hurt from putting it together a week ago. If I move I'll probably have to cut it to pieces, but I would buy it again and suffer through putting it together.)I got this so I can easily put it up tare it down. I am pretty sure that I got defective parts. The button thing that click on to the poles are so hard to push. If you want to take this apart. Don't buy this. If you do buy my advice is to check every joint before you start. If they don't push down. Return this item. Because once you have a few pieces together that are extremely difficult to push down they are not coming off and you'll never get it to fit back in the box.Anyway I got it all together in about 2-3 hours. Now I have finished I'm very upset that the top part doesn't feel very sturdy. 4 screws go into the top part and it is still wobbly.If I could return it. I would. But I'm going to try to salvage it by removing the top square. The rest seems sturdy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great addition to our active playroom

As parents, we decided that we didn't want little mindless zombies for children - glued to a video game - drooling - psychotically angry when said video game gets taken away due to lack of the child functioning as a living person... So, we've focused our Christmas/birthday purchases on things that they can be physically active with. After looking at multiple dome-shaped climbers, we went with this one and we're happy we did. For starters, the whole thing is pretty easy to set up.You get a big box of tubes and connectors with some instructions. The instruction booklet is laid out weird so I just tossed aside several of the pages until I found the assembly diagram - All of the connectors and tubes are labeled so you know exactly what tube goes where. Once you get the base tube sections assembled, it's pretty intuitive from there. The instructions guide you through assembling the climber in chunks, then connecting those chunks to make the whole thing. I was worried that the climber would have some flex to it when fully assembled but by the time I was down to the last tube put on, I could tell that that wouldn't be an issue - I had to pull the opening where the tube went apart with a bit of force to get the thing in place. Ingeniously, they put some thought into it when they built these things so that the end of the connector that slides into the tube is angled so you can pop it on without too much effort.The connectors look like purple starfish - some with 6 points, some with 5, and a weird angled one with 4 for the top "tower" thing. All of the tubes are held in place by "pins" or little metal buttons that are on metal flanges on the connectors (like the little button that pops into place to connect the metal extension tubes together on your vacuum). There's 2 of these buttons per connector-end (starfish leg?), one on top and one underneath. Some of these are pretty stiff on the 5-point and 6-point connectors which were a pain in the buttocks to push down so the tube would pass over it and click into place. Because of the stiffness of the buttons, I got my finger pinched between the tube and the connector when it suddenly popped into place. I tried wearing gloves but it was more annoying than helpful. About 3/4 of the way through I realized it worked best to rotate the tube 45 degrees so that when you slide the tube onto the connector, the pins/buttons don't pop through the holes until you twist the tube back into alignment (hopefully that made sense...) so basically, you slide the tube on with the holes not lined up with the buttons so that the tube doesn't just lock into place unexpectedly, taking your tender finger flesh with it. Once I figured this out, I was a lot less hesitant when sliding these things together as I didn't have to worry about getting bitten again.Because the buttons are on the top and bottom of each connector end, they include a little cuff-like device that's supposed to fit over the tube and, once aligned, you can squeeze it to depress the buttons and slide/disconnect the tube from the connector. I haven't tried this yet but hopefully it works - with those buttons being as stiff as they are, I may be leaving the thing assembled permanently if it doesn't.When looking around at other options, we took our kids to an outdoor equipment store and let them climb on everything. Though made of metal, the bigger domes had too large of a space between the bars to where our kids could't climb to the top - this one is the perfect size for our kids right now and I can tell by the quality that it will last our kids for several years.PROS:- heavy-duty plastic components- easy assembly (aside from the stiff buttons)- All pieces are labeled so you know what goes where- easy to follow assembly diagram- great size for smaller kids - probably about 3 to 8-ish depending on how big they are - and even bigger kids can still have fun climbing under it as a "fort".CONS:-Pins/buttons on the connectors can be stiff and hard to push down to get the tubes on-Stiff pins/buttons can lead to pinched fingers and subsequent swearing around children during assembly- The labels on the tubes are just stickers so if you have a destructive or OCD child, the stickers will be gone instantly and you won't know what tube is what when you take it apart unless you sort the tubes by length.This thing was a hit with my kids at Christmas this year - they love climbing on it and throwing blankets over the top to make a fort. It's big enough that my 45" tall 5 year old can climb on it but small enough that it fits in our "family room" (aka kids playroom) downstairs.My only recommendation, if the Easy Peasey people ever come across this, is to have a little bump (flare? channel?) in the end of the tubes (just like on a vacuum extension tube) so that if you line up that bump with the button, the tube can slide right over the pins/buttons on the connectors without actually having to press the buttons down with your fingers to get the tube on.

Bellissima

The media could not be loaded. Mio marito l'ha montata di sera e ha messo i blocchi alle giunture al mattino quindi non è difficoltoso il montaggio. C'è anche un gancio che serve se si monta un pezzo errato in quanto ci sono due sicure da far fare click.

Why didn't they make more??

The climbing frame is really good for the little kids to build their confidence and skills. It was a little bit tricky to set up, and don't make a mistake because the tool to help you undo the poles from the joiners is not very good. It would have been great if they made bigger sizes and other shapes.

説明書

説明書が英語だが、わかりやすいので説明通りにやれば女性一人でもサクサク組み立てられる。ただ間違えた時に取り外すのが固くて大変。子供が遊ぶ遊具だから固くて当たり前なのだが、繋げるパーツひとつひとつがとても硬い。なので間違えないために説明書通りにやるのが大切。

Super Fun

I sent this to my Grandkids for Christmas in Alberta and I live in Toronto. The kids absolutely love it! They didn't want to wait so they put it together in the basement until it gets warmer outside to play on. It's strong and durable but takes a little time to put together, after all would you want to put your kids on something that assembles in minutes? The ages are 4,3 and 1-1/2. Of course the 1 1/2 just hangs with help but has a ball! The only injury was my Grandson accidently raising is foot up and hitting my Granddaughter in the head. Mom and Dad make rules now. Their Mom says "Without a doubt one of the best gifts the kids ever received" They get hours of fun on it and they never get bored of it.
