Comments about Step2 Fort Slide-Away:
I received the Fort Slide-Away as part of Step2's Test Drive Mom Blogger program. As with all of the Step2 products I have experience with this one is just as durable & kid friendly! It is pretty tall so it can span quite an age group, and even the youngest of kids can enjoy the fort underneath! The slide wasn't too bad to put together but was too big to go inside my house. It has been outside in the rain and so far no problems! I frequently find my son hiding in the fort reading books & enjoying snacks. I LOVE that it has anchors for outside which do a superb job at keeping it in place! My son still hasn't been able to knock the anchors out!

Comments about Step2 Fort Slide-Away:
Awesome "hide-and-play" slide! Our 18 month old is tall for her age and she gets bored with some of the smaller slides. She LOVES this one! This is a great slide for indoor or outdoor play and is super sturdy and easy to assemble! We've recommended this to several of our friends! LOVE it!

Comments about Step2 Fort Slide-Away:
My 20 month old daughter loves this slide! She run right to it when I open the back door to our yard. It's a great height for her age. My son, who just turned four, also loves it. He doesn't play inside the fort as much as I thought he would but the slide alone was worth it!!! They love to slide down and run right back around and up again!

Comments about Step2 Fort Slide-Away:
For the price, I kind of expected a little more sturdy of a build. The slide itself if very nice because it is tall and even our 4-year old has fun on it. The 2-year old LOVES it. The tent is also a nice feature. However, the assembly was difficult (I'm a very handy person and good with tools) and the tent was frustrating. I would have liked to see better construction than some small screws that go right into the plastic. Long bolts that go through all the way would give me more confidence in this item's durability as my kids play on it. I really don't trust those tiny screws to prevent this thing from collapsing one of these days.
Service and delivery comments:
Needs better assembly instructions. I found the pictures difficult to decipher, and many of my pieces did not match the pictures. The construction needs to be more durable. Instead of tiny screws that you screw right into the plastic, I'd have more confidence if this had long steel bolts that went all the way through. I don't see these screws staying in place very long as the kids play, and I find myself checking them and re-tightening often. This seems a little dangerous to me.
