Side by Side Comparison of: TOYMONSTER LIMITED vs QVC

Very easy to put together! For being plastic, this jungle gym is sturdy! We have it in the living room and the kids love it. I put a sheet over it and it became an instant fort!!!! I am very glad we have this.

i got this for my 4yr olf grdgirls bday and she freaked : ) she's a climber so exactly what she needed..its much bigger than i thought it would be so pleasantly surprised.

When I found this on Amazon I was so excited! This would go in the playroom and would guarantee naps for my two toddlers now 2 and 3. However, when I set it up, it was a totall fail. The eldest would only climb on it if we prompted him to. My husband called it a "dud" along with the ball pit I also purchased.So then I decided to try a bouncy house. To make room for the bouncy house I slid the ball pit underneath the monkey bars. OMG it was like Christmas!!! Instantly both kids were all over it!!! They absolutely love the combination.If you are serious about investing in a nap toy go for this and put a ball pit underneath. Use the jumbo balls for good cushioning as the kids do their acrobatics.I will edit this with the link to the ball pit supplies I also purchase in Amazon.

Fun product. Assembled alone in under an hour. Easy to assemble as long as you follow the directions. Comes with a tool to help you depress the the little nobs that secure the tubes... Though I didn't realize that til I was done ,so I just used a toy shovel. But my toddler was on there a second after it was built. He loves it. I do wish it came with some anchors though. That's the only down side.

Definitely took about an hour to put together. But with patience can be accomplished. I certainly would not want to take this apart and put together over and over. I use it indoors for my child and he loves it. He is a little young so right now uses it mainly as a fort but will climb up to the first bar. He does this best with shoes on as the surface is slick like pvc pipe. But I know as he grows he will love this more and more.

My kids are actually a bit too young to really climb up this thing yet, but they still love it. I bought a super spinner swing and attached it to the top bars of this thing and let it hang down into the middle area. Wow, was that a winner! I also stuck a board across the top so we could let the kids stand up and inside the square area on top and feel very high (supervised, of course) - also a winner (and the extra length of rope from the super swing wrapped nicely around the board to stabilize it and hold it down).The set up was very easy to understand, but to snap the pieces in place was painful (literally). It takes a lot of force with your finger on a small button thing to push it in and snap a long bar into place, and after only 2 or 3 my hands were killing me. Plus if you push a little too hard or sometimes even if you don't the button thing gets stuck entirely inside the casing and it doesn't work - you have to undo what you've just done and fish the thing out with a screwdriver or something. Hard to explain - but I'll just say that I ended up with 2 other people helping me and we were all using screwdrivers or scissors or other hard things to try to push in the buttons instead of our fingers and a little blood was drawn at one point when a piece of skin got caught. In the end, though, this thing is very stable and won't be falling apart anytime soon. In fact, when we move I think we'll sell it and buy another one instead of attempting to ever take this thing apart again!

Perfect gift for my granddaughter! When I called in need of missing parts the response was quick. The parts came in just 2 days.This will last for years. Thanks

very sturdy! My grandaughter loves it!

My kids have absolutely loved this toy! It took a bit of work to put it together naturally,but all the pieces were there and it was clearly outlined how to do it. It's very sturdy and well made which I was concerned about because it's such a great price . It's extremely durable. It has transformed our back yard into a private playground along with one other toy we purchased. I highly recommend buying this you if you have small kiddos who like to climb and explore.

We bought this dome climber for our preschool! It's strong, well crafted easy to assemble and our students love it!! We have it in our indoor gross motor room and will be used year round.

It looks better than I imagined. Very happy with it :)

Very pleased with this! It was a birthday gift for our daughter and has already gotten so much use! It's extremely sturdy, we have had ten children on it at once and it feels solid as a rock.

The top portion is SUPER flimsy and scary so I removed it. Some of the black metal pieces inside the tubes to snap them together were not bent correctly so they slid out and were loose. I was able to use 2 from the stack that I removed to replace the bars with loosened pieces. Over all its pretty cool for little kids. I have 3 little ones who play on it and the oldest out of them is 7 and she is probably maxing it out with the 5 and 3 year old on it together.

I am giving this product a 4 star review only because the assembly was horrible. I made a mistake and had to remove a bunch of tubes. Other than that my 2.5 and 4.5 yr olds LOVE this toy. They have not gotten off of it since I put it together.

My husband and I were able to put this climber together in just over an hour. There are a lot of pieces and some pieces are VERY similar to others making it easy to get confused if you don't thoroughly read the instructions. If you take the time to read through and notice the clearly marked pieces, you will not have much trouble. The climber seems sturdy and will be so much fun once our grandkids get to actually use it (they haven't been over to see the surprise yet).Our only complaint (reason behind 4 stars instead of 5) is the tool sent along with the kit for unconnecting tubes that were put together improperly. The tool works, when it wants to and is very tough to understand. Instructions on how to use the tool would have been helpful because even those of us who were very thorough about reading through the instructions and making sure all of the pieces were included make mistakes and getting the bars apart once they are joined together is NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.Thank you Toymonster for a great product, it will provide many years of fun for us!

This is a nice, sturdy, solid climber for little ones. Assembly was very clearly laid out in the instructions, and if you separate and lay out all the pieces beforehand, you should have no trouble. My only concern was with the spring connectors. Since the integrity of the structure depends on the strength of the connections, I was a bit concerned when I had issues with several - at least a dozen - popping down into the tubes when I was snapping them together. A needle-nosed pliers was needed to pop them back into place. Overall, I am very happy with the quality of this climber and recommend it.

We got this for my son's 4th birthday and used it at his party. It was absolutely the star of the party. We had six kids on it at once, but it is very sturdy and the kids couldn't get enough of it. It is high enough so that the kids enjoy climbing it, but low enough so that they won't hurt themselves if they fall. My only complaint is that it is a bit hard to assemble - really hurts your fingers and requires some muscle. We ended up renting a van so that we wouldn't have to disassemble it when we take it home. But once you put it together it is great!

Pretty easy to put together...some of the pins were a little harder to push in than others so I had my husband put those ones together but other than that I put this together myself pretty quickly.We got it at the end of the summer so it hasn't been used too much...I don't think my son really knows what to do with it yet. He was expecting traditional monkey bars that he could climb across and this is too short for that. He hasn't realized yet that he can climb on the outside, jump off, etc. It's only a matter of time though. So far, I'm happy with it, just hope it gets more use next summer. My only slight disappointment was the height, I thought it would be taller but that's not really a fault of the product.

It's 49 inches high, not 46. Otherwise it's exactly as pictured

Has been a big hit with our 4 year olds. Considered getting something bigger - which I'm sure they would have enjoyed - but not sure I wanted something bigger in our yard. This came in a very destroyed box - its super heavy - but all pieces were there and it was relatively simple to put together as long as you followed the instructions. Definitely needed more than one person to do it. It took my father and I about 3 1/2 hours to put it together. You need someone to help hold the pieces as you assemble them, and again when you tighten all the bolts. The directions could have been a little more detailed when it comes to suggested tools - but we were able to use the alan wrench included an our own tools to make it work fine.

This is a very nice Space Dome Climber, but it took over 4 hours to put it together. I had read that it took 2 hours, so that is quite a difference when you have a very busy schedule. We like the fact that there is nothing that the children can hurt themselves on, everything is covered up so there are no rough edges. I believe that this product will last many years.

My grandchildren play on it when several of them are here at the same time. Only so much climbing and hangin' they want to do. I bought another item for others to play on too. Nearly impossible to assemble without 2 people together.

Great addition to the backyard. It's good for all my kids, aged 5-13. My only negative was we got it for Christmas and it had a part missing. It took over a week to get the part. They refused to overnight it or rush it. So, their customer service isn't great.

My kids really like this new addition to our backyard. Kids love climbing. Period. Glad we got this size for our backyard instead of the 10 foot radius one. This one is PLENTY big. The highest center point is just about 4 feet. You will absolutely need 2 people, sometimes 3 to put this together. It took us about 3 or 4 hours. It's very sturdy. My kids--3, 4, and 7 really enjoy it.

Great size for little ones, but only two to three could really hang on it at the same time without banging into each other.

We would have given 5 stars, but one of the joiners is defective and it's therefore unsafe. We are hoping that we can get the replacement part JC3 because it seems like our son will enjoy it!

Not EASY to put together! Plan for it to take at least a few hours and you better have some tools to push in the metal pieces to clock the tubes together. The plastic tube a are thin, I doubt it will hold up for a year outdoors.

Assembly was a pain, literally. I recommend using a stubby flathead screwdriver's blade to push down the little nubbins so as to avoid tearing up one's finger pads. The springs underlying those nubbins also had an annoying tendency to slip, such that only one of two nubbins was protruding through its proper hole. One other assembly note is that the 5-arm hub pieces have separate left- and right-oriented versions, and keeping track of this is important. All of the other hub pieces are symmetric.Once assembled after an hour or so my 3 year old loves climbing on it. The star deduction was just because assembly was more of a pain than I thought was warranted.

SUPER HARD to set up. The snaps stick and my husband literally had to get tools out to make it work. It's sturdy and fun for sure but be prepared for a two+ hour set up.

Top part is very wobbly and not as secure as it should be. Easy to put together but only good for smaller kids. It looks cool at least.

Great quality but a pain to assemble. Took three of us and took some time

Great product for kids 4-10. Bought one years ago for our kids. Bought this one for our 4year old grandson.upgraded safety feature with durable plastic bolt covers. He loves it and plays on it constantly - as soon as we rounded up all the missing parts. On top of that the Allen wrench provided is to small for the 265 provided Allen- headed bolts. This is the only tool needed for assembly but if you don't have a metric set of your own, you kids aren't climbing anywhere. Had order and return a second set and cannibalize it for parts. Oh by the way the package weights 110 lbs. not a fun lift for the second time

Very disappointing to build this climber with my 5 year old helping only to not have enough nuts and bolts to complete the job. After I calmed her down, I contacted the manufacturer. While they are helpful and will supply the missing parts, we need to stare at the unfinished climber for 3-5 more days.Do your self a huge favor and count all the parts before you begin. Especially if you choose to have your child help:(.

My kids ages 4 and 2 1/2 seems to only want to play on this when friends are over. like a swing set the novelty runs out quickly. They better entertain themselves playing in with sticks and leaf piles. They love to climb but could have saved the money and bring them to the park.

Structure gets hot to touch in the sun.not the greatest directions and assembly took awhile very time consuming.grandchildren do enjoy climbing in and out of it and making a dome tent on hot days with a tarp over it.

I purchased this from Wayfair they were not helpful you are better off buying it directly from Amazon.It's ok but a little smaller than I pictured.My 6 year old is taller than it and my 4 year old is mastering it.I would get a bigger (taller) one I would say this is for kids up to 7 years old max not 10 as it said.

I had ordered this as a gift to give my kids but did not open until a later date. Once we did it was broken - pieces would only allow us to build the smaller portion and cannot build the top part. Due to shopping early - my return window expired and I am stuck with a broken item. Not too happy with that. The rest seems okay but disappointed that something arrived broken.

Love the end result but it was not "eazy pezzy" to put together!! It took me 3 1/2 hours to put it together the knobs that just "click" together don't just snap u really have to put force into it on each and every tube! And don't connect the wrong one because to take apart is unbelievably hard !! You told me to give you does not work !

The biggest pain in the butt to assemble!!! Your fingers will be killing you by the time you get finished. Cheap plastic crap. Don't waste your time or money.

An extra J-5 Joiner came instead of a J-6, now the climber is incomplete. Is a good product but needs better packaging quality reviews.

This is a difficult structure to set up! Unless you are ready to pinch your skin, and bruise your hands, I don't recommend it! I cant say if it is a good Jungle gym, because I am not even done setting it up yet...I can only do a bit every day.

Kinda loose. Wish it was a little more sturdy. If they could fix that part it would be a 5 star. My daughter had a hard time with that part and she is a gymnast.

What a waste. We finally have a warm day to put this together and we are missing the big circular piece that everything attaches to. It is completely useless and my nephews are so upset.

I bought this climber to help my kids get more exercise in the backyard, I received it over two weeks ago and I am still waiting for the parts. I do not see what is so hard about putting the correct parts in the box. For $200 I should not be sitting around waiting like this. I would not buy from this company again.

DID NOT RECIEVE ALL OF THE PARTS FIRS PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD I HAVE SPENT $1000.00sSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I FEEL YOU SHOOOULD DO SOMETHING FOR ME I JUST RENEWED FOR ANOTHE YEAR!! RETIRED ARMY 100%COMBAT DISABILTY THANK FOR ANIY THING YOU CAN DO .

We kept this hidden from our 2 and 4 year olds and planned to put it together Christmas Eve. The morning of, we noticed that 2 of the metal plates were in the wrong packaging. Turns out, they gave us too many of one size and not enough of the other. So now my kids' "big gift" will be 3 or more days late and I've got to keep them out of the backyard where the partially put together climber is hanging out. Customer service said it'd take 3 days or so to get the parts to me...no apologies...no nada. I am beyond pissed

Do we like the dome now that it is together? YES, but I wouldn't buy one from this company EVER again! We, like many other people mentioned also had pieces missing from our box. I called the customer service number that day and was told it would be 10 business days, I told her that was not acceptable and that I wanted a manager ... I got voice mail. I called the next day and was told it would ship out in 2 business days, fine! 2 business days passed ... no parts! Called for a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and final 6th time. After they lied about sending it again I asked for the tracking number. After waiting on the phone for 17 minutes, she gave me the number and quite a bit of attitude to go with it! Do yourself a favor and buy one from another company, this company was nothing but a headache to deal with. The only thing worse than dealing with them is trying to figure out how to pack up and return 170lbs of junk because that's all it is if you don't have all the parts!

This was a surprise gift for a birthday. Unfortunately 5 of the parts were missing. We made several attempts to call the company (approximately 11 times), during their stated business hours, but the phone was busy each and every time, and no voicemail available. Also, we had hired a handyman who discovered in the midst of the assembly process that he did not have enough parts to complete the product. So, not only were the boys who were receiving the gift disappointed...we had the expense of a handyman, and ended up with no dome. After reading other reviews, I noticed I was not the only customer who received a product with missing parts. Therefore, I elected not to reorder. I am going to attempt to find a similar product, but from a different company.

Only buy this if you plan on NEVER taking it apart. I'm having the worst time trying to get it apart.

This product was extremely hard to put together. It seems easy enough but if you make a mistake, there is no way to fix the mistake properly.

I ordered this after seeing all the positive reviews and I really regret it. I am an engineer and very technical and I have to say the instructions are very clear and to the point.I am giving it 1 star because you cannot dissemble it once the product is assembled. They provide a tool which allegedly can only be used twice to disassemble it, let alone trying to dissamble the whole thing, I could'nt even remove a single pipe with this flimsy tool. . My fingers are all swollen trying to remove just a single pipe.

I never knew this didn't come with anchors so the apparatus doesn't tip over!!! Worst purchase ever to assemble too!

Don't buy, people. It boldly claims 'easy peezy' set-up and it is NOT. It is painful and downright impossible, hence unsafe for child. There are black springs in each joiner that pop out and impossible to re-install. Sometimes those springs get jammed and don't poke through the holes on the poles which make connection UNSAFE AND UNSTABLE. I can't go through the hassle of returning and my only recourse is just write a bad review. And I NEVER write reviews! So this should tell you I really hated this thing. Cursed all the way through. Buy something else!!

The bars are OK. The assembly was just horrendous as the buttons that needed to be pushed were very hard to depress and insert into tube holes. The buttons also don't insert into the tube holes. A couple buttons fell out. Our fingers were swollen and hurting. It should come with a floor/ground securing assembly -- which it did not.

We haven't even had this for a year and it is starting to rust already. SO DISAPPOINTED! Also, it took two days to assemble and was not easy as the product description would have you believe.

Package arrived, box destroyed, parts scratched up, and one part was not even finished. The one bar was not finished being fabricated and had no hole. I had to modify the piece and drill the hole myself. The rubber caps do not stay that we'll either.

There were parts missing in the box.

Package arrived in time. Package was taped all over and was open. I am missing the 10 half bottom brackets and there was two brackets on top of package when I got home. I hope I am not missing anymore pieces. Bolts nuts and washers were vacuumed sealed. For now I will give one star and update when I deal with coma timer service.

We Could not put it together. Because Many pieces missing. We have Very disappointed children. It Was purchased for grandparents home.

Bought this for the kids for Christmas. The box was torn and damaged when it was delivered and when I was assembling it there were several parts missing. I was very disappointed
