Purchased this dome 11 months ago.  Assembled it only four months ago.  Upon assembly, noticed that the powder coat on one bar was bubbled in one spot.  That spot rusted within days of assembly.  I submitted a warranty claim to Lifetime.  I received a reply in 24 hrs, confirming that they would be sending a replacement bar and touch up paint.  The replacement part arrived shortly after.  I would not hesitate to buy another Lifetime product. Highly, highly recommend this company! The dome itself is super sturdy and the colors are bright and fun. A+
