Easy Assembly, Lots of Fun
I chose this play set because the reviews indicated that it was easy to assemble. I could not agree more. I transported it from my garage in the front of the house to the backyard and put it together by myself in 1-1/2 hours. It came with pretty poor picture instructions that weren't very clear, so I had to back track a couple of times...but overall very easy and intuitive. It was definitely manageable for one person. My one year old loves it. The play house under the slide is perfect for her, and I'm sure she will grow into the rest of it. It is very sturdy and stable for little ones, but I doubt it is strong enough to accommodate older kids. The plastic bowed slightly under my weight and the slide is too narrow for an adult bottom. The plastic got quite warm under the hot Texas sun, but was not hot enough to burn skin. Parents in hot climates will probably need to check the temp or hose it down before little ones get on it. Overall, I am a very pleased mother so far. I only wish there were add-ons to it for future play. Rating:

Fun times on the deck
Yup, it's small enough to fit on our 12' x 24' deck. Solid and sturdy. Instructions are typical - frustrating. No words, just illustrations. Look at the pics REAL close - it took us a half hour to get the slide on. Finally realized that you had to TIP the tower to install the slide (small arrow and shadow in the picture indicated this). We purchased separately toddler swings.

good swingset
i purchased this for my granddaughters, ages 1 & 3. they love it, especially the swings. I like it because it was fairly easy to assemble (it took about 4 hours with the help of my granddaughers), it's sturdy and won't rust and it's large enough for the kids, but fits well in my 50 ft. x 50 ft. back yard. The shipping cost took me by surprise, about $190.00 and I had to purchase a toddler swing seperately. Overall I am very satisfied and would highly recommend this item. Rating:

Problem with the nylon rope...
We purchased a Naturally Playful ® Playhouse Climber & Swing Extension last year. My son really enjoyed it initially. But there is one major problem. During the winter, the yellow nylon ropes that is used for the swing had frayed throughout, thus producing countless slivers along the whole rope. I once rubbed my hand along the rope and got several tiny slivers (I had to used a sterile tweezers to get them out). Also, the child next door got a sliver on his finger -- a nightmare for parents to remove. Now, my son refuses to sit on the swing because the rope is "too pokey and hurts." Step2 needs to use different ropes so that the winter will not damage them. Rating:

Check it OUt in Person Before Buying
I recently purchased this item via the internet (it was on sale, over $100 off!). My husband and his brother put the swingset together in roughly two hours. I had never seen the item in person before, just a picture on the internet! The swingset is attractive and goes well with landscaping. However, there are a few things that I do not like about the swingset. The main thing is the play house underneath the slide. It is very small. It would probably be okay for a 1 1/2 or 2 year old child but my 3 year old barely fits underneath and rarely uses the playhouse. I have put a small chair inside so that she can go inside and sit because standing is not an option. Also, my 3 year old had some problems with sliding down the slide. I recommend that you take a sheet of wax paper and rub it over the slide (it works). It is also recommended that two holes are dug, cement poured and swingset stakes be planted inside of the cement. If not, you will notice that frequent swinging will bring up the stakes. My daughter does love the swings and yesterday I purchased a toddler swing by Step 2 for my six month old daughter so that she can enjoy the swingset as well. My 3 year old also loves the slide and loves to climb on the tower above the play house. All in all, I do like this product but I would recommend seeing it in person before purchasing it. |
