After many, many hours of researching playhouses for my daughter's 2nd Christmas we finally decided on the Storybook Cottage. I have extremely high standards and I really try to buy the best quality when it comes to big purchases. I liked that it wasn't gender specific and from the reviews I was really looking forward to a really high quality, nicely sized playhouse. With that being said...the house seemed a lot smaller than I was expecting. It easily fits 3 small sized children but there is not much room to move around. You have to push the door bell a certain way for the small bell to ring. The phone is hardly worth the effort...it is not loud at all. The table inside is so flimsy, little children naturally want to lean on it and it almost bends in two. The material doesn't seem sturdy at all. Yet, my daughter LOVES it and has played in it everyday for the past year. It is small enough to keep in her bedroom. The price seems too high for the quality and size...but we still love it! Looking back I probably would not have spent this much for this particular playhouse.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful StoryBook Cottage:
I purchased this 5 years ago for my Family Home Childcare and it has been a wonderful addition. The kids pretend to cook, have parties and act out story book characters. It has taken quite a beating with several rowdy 3-4 year old boys and still looks brand new. 6 kids, every week day for 5 years and not a complaint. I must say, that is pretty awesome.

I needed to find the perfect house for my two children that are one year and two years old.
I decided on this playhouse. Since we only have a small courtyard I couldn't get a massive playhouse, but I wanted one that was fun, attractive and had most of the bells and whistles. This playhouse fit the bill!
They both love it and I know they are going to have many memories playing in this house together!
It is also attractive and doesn't look like a major eyesore in our courtyard. It is the perfect size and provides hours of imaginative play and outdoor play time.
I am always concerned about how long and how difficult assembly is with these types of things, but Step 2 made it so incredibly easy! It was not difficult at all.
Step 2 doesn't disappoint and this playhouse was worth every penny!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful StoryBook Cottage:
My son absolutely LOVED the little back door the store display had. In fact, i let him play with all of the displays for at least 20 minutes to see which little playhouse he would like. Out of all of the ones that were displayed (including slides and play-sets) he played with this little cottage. The display model had this little back door he liked to crawl in and out of. However, when we got home and got the cottage put together, we noticed that the model we bought did not have the little back door. It had a sticker fireplace instead. My son was pretty sad but still loved playing in the cottage. He got over it and I am sure has forgotten about the back door by now, but I know he loved that little door. It's the reason we decided to get the cottage. If you are getting this because of the little back door, make sure your model comes with it because apparently that is not standard in all cottage models.

The only thing that happened was [...] I didn't get all the pieces in the box. Called Step 2 and they sent me all the hardware and pieces.

This cottage was a 3rd birthday gift for my daughter. She loves it! It's very cute and I like that it has a table and little kitchen. I was a little disappointed in how small it was for the price but she doesn't care.
