Eezy Peezy Monkey Bars Climbing Tower - Active Indoor Outdoor Play Set Climbing Dome Equipment Toys - Fun for Kids Ages 3 to 8 Years Old, Green and Blue

Update: product lasted 5 years before a piece finally broke - kept outside year round (and we have harsh winters). Very worth the original investment! It does fade, but that is to be expected.When my daughter was 2 1/2 she loved it... even now at 7 1/2 she would still climb and play on it.Easy to put together with the tool it came with. Was easy to pop apart with a screwdriver on the lower slots to prepare it for the garbage at end of life too. Every piece of metal clip was still solid and flexible.

My 3 year old absolutely loves this! I had it completely set up within 45 mins. I seen some other posts about having to use another object to push down the little buttons. Mine came with a little tool to push them down when building & makes for easy removal also. I love everything about this. The tubes are sturdy, I am 215lbs & was able to climb & sit at the top with no issues. I really enjoy the bright colors. I feel the age range for this is pretty well right, however I’m sure 2 year olds would absolutely love playing on this. Overall one of the best purchases I’ve made & except to have this in great condition for years to come

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.

My two year old is a CLIMBER. Seriously, I need to get her into gymnastics or something. But until then, I decided to get her something to help get all that climbing out of her system. It was pretty easy to put together but definitely listen to other reviewers, separate the pieces, read the directions CAREFULLY, and have something to help you push those little interlocking buttons bc they are rough on your thumbs. I used a screwdriver. I have a pretty small yard but it fits well and still leaves some room for an inflatable pool or splash pad this summer. Though I think I will be taking the advice of another reviewer and putting the pool underneath this little jungle gym with some water toys for maximum summer fun!

We’ve had this for five years, never taken it out of the backyard and my kids STILL play with it. It’s never cracked or broken. Definitely have gotten our moneys worth.

Not hard to assemble at all took like 30 mins and it was all done. Just pay attention to the letters and their orientation on the parts and it’s a breeze
