We bought this house for our 3 year an 1 year old. My 3 year old especially loves to play make believe and was always constructing a makeshift house out of sheets, chairs, etc. This house gave her a permanent structure to play house in. We have it inside our home in the playroom for the long hot days of summer when we cannot spend as much time outside during the heat of the day. I was skeptical about the front porch thinking that the kids might not utilize that space as much and would make the interior of the house seem too small. On the contrary, they love the front porch. My eldest plays inside while my youngest sits on the bench on the front porch. They love putting letters back and forth through the mailbox too. Another plus is that the front door and the shutters on the windows have extra space where they close so fingers will not get pinched. Both my kids have played for hours in it together as well as separately. We have been very pleased with our purchase.

This was a gift for my three and one year old girls. This house is cute but way to small for the both of them, they can't even stretch out in it or put anything in there due to lack of space. My oldest likes to climb on top and my baby likes to ring the doorbell. Also my oldest was upset when her play dishes didn't fit in the sink. Other than that this house is boring and I don't see this house will get much use. This house is perfect for one small child.Later on I will invest in the larger one.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:
this house took a long time to put together.the roof screws together, the first wind storm blew it into pieces and took it across the yard. the shelf inside the house just screws onto the wall. the first thing my two year old did was try to sit on shelf and broke it off wall.After my experience with this toy, i would never buy a step2 product again.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:
Our 15-month old, an only child, LOVES this playhouse! She's around 25lbs and a little over 2 feet tall. The dimensions of the play space inside and out are perfect for her right now, with some room to grow. The porch bench is great for snacks and playing her conga. The skylight is ingenious. Assembly took less than an hour on Christmas Eve. The instruction booklet was easy to follow for tired eyes. We feel that this product was well thought out and we love the simplicity of the parts and assembling them together. As others have mentioned as a tip, it'll be easier to recruit help during the roof installation phase of assembly.
Service and delivery comments:
A suggestion we have is to increase the width of the inside step by 1 1/2 to 2 inches and texture it so that kids wearing socks/sheer-footed pajamas won't slip. We bought this playhouse at a local toy store some distance away from our home and didn't realize that a truck/cargo van was necessary to transport the unassembled product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Front Porch Playhouse:
My daughter loves this house, she is a busy body in it, swinging the door and shutters, ringing the doorbell and answering her phone. My son is 5 and while he can fit in it with her, he barely does. The worst thing is that we keep it outside, and I guess rain gets into the inside of the pieces, and then mold grows in there, and you can see the shadows of the gunk inside the pieces when the sun shines on the house, and it is kinda creepy and gross. But are you supposed to take it all apart and somehow try to wash the insides out? I can't imagine that is regular upkeep. If anyone has ideas on how to clean out the insides of the pieces or keep them from getting all gunky to begin with, please share. It's a good house though, lots of fun, just hard to keep clean.
