[...] I ordered through Step 2 [...] I put it together in 15 minutes. There are only 4 screws to attach it all-leaving room for pieces to have some "play." I do not really like that, but for now its ok. I can always add some more from Home Depot later. My son (18 mo) plays on it from the first thing in the am til dark. We live in Las Vegas so the weather is still nice now. My only issue is-its a lot smaller than the cube climbers-being a rectangle platform instead of square.

I just bought this today for my 3 1/2 year old and my 1 1/2 year old as a christmas present. I cant wait to give it to them. We have So many step 2 Items (kitchen, play house, toy boxes, table and chairs) it all matches. We had a small climber and slide but they both have outgrown it. So they are going to be Excited Christmas Morning! Thank You For Providing safe, sturdy, and afforable Items Step 2!

We love this product. Our two year old and his 20 month old cousin immediately started climbing on this once out of the box. Our only challenge is that our two year old boy wants it all to himself. It is great opportunity to teach sharing!

We got this originally for our son who at the time was 15 months old, he was getting scraped up at the playground and we wanted a "Big Kid, Cool" toy for Inside our home. We got this, built it in minuets and haven't stopped having fun with it! He loves the slide, rock walls, play space underneath. Still uses daily at 22 months.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

That was resolved very quickly after a call to Customer Service, and it took only 10 minutes to assemble our Woodland Climber after it arrived. A delight from the moment our granddaughter saw it!

My two year old grandson claps every time he slides down the slide. When the slide got hot on a very hot day, he learned to get wet in his wading pool and then go down the slide. His parents found it easy to put together.

Bottom Line:

We researched many items and choose the woodland climber. It looked the most realistic and fun for our grandson, who loves to climb. He was climbing all over it from the moment he saw it. He's 15 months old, but that doesn't stop him. He can maneuver the slide on his own but needs our help getting up the ladder and the rock wall. We don't mind helping him up at all and love watching him play. Soon there will be two little boys all over this toy. We are quite pleased with our purchase. It's exactly what we expected and plan to purchase additional items in the near future.

Great climber for small spaces

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We have a very small backyard (our lawn is about 15' x 20' so a larger playset is not possible for us. This works out great! It was very easy to put together with just a screw driver. It's a good match for kids 1.5 years to probably 5 years. We have a woodland cottage playhouse by Step2 in the same color and material and it's been in our back yard for 2 years and still looks immaculate. That's 2 years of summers & winters with temperatures ranging from 35-110 degrees on our back patio. This product is sturdy, won't fade and is made in the US.

Very Sturdy and Well Built
By SummerVerified Purchaser from Madison, MS on 1/9/2008
Pros:
Easy Assembly, Sturdy
Best Uses:
Backyard
Describe Yourself:
Novice
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was super easy to assemble and is very sturdy and well made. My little girl is only 14 months and she does not show much interest now as she cannot climb on it by herself and can't figure out the slide yet. Step 2 recommends it for children 2 years and up and I think this is a good recommendation. I think my daughter will enjoy it much more after she gets a little older. But I am satisfied with the product.

Favorite Christmas Gift!

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My 18 month old granddaughter loves this climber and I loved the easy assembly! It is in my kitchen/dining area for her to play on during the winter months. I put a pillow and blanket under the climber in the sand box area and my basset hound has taken over that as her special place.
The slide is the perfect size for a toddler because she can actually slide. A lot of the slides on other sets are too short. The platform with the steering wheel is big enough for for her to move around and the sides keep her secure. The big smile on her face says it all! We have to watch her climbing up the ladder in case she slips because it is pretty steep but she is mastering it quickly. I am also a little nervous about her falling back through the ladder opening so I'm not comfortable letting her play unsupervised on it, but I'm sure as she gets older I'll relax more. I comparison shopped for weeks before my selection and I am not disappointed. It is definitely well made and a very attractive style. It will give her lots of play time for years to come. I am so pleased I am anxious to get the matching pieces to add to our play fun! Thank you for an excellent product!

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We recently purchased this product as our 11 month old triplet girls are climbing everywhere. They love the Woodland Climber! We have it in our playroom and they can't get enough of it! They are still a little young for all the features such as the rock wall, but have quickly learned to climb up the ladder. Our girls love the steering wheel and sliding down. Since our girls are younger than the recommended age, we do have to watch them carefully on it. I'm sure that when they're a bit older and more steady on their feet we won't have to be so vigilant. I am so glad we decided to purchase this item and can't wait to move it outside after winter.

We love this climber! We bought it for our two year old and he loves it! He plays with it everyday, we loves the rock climbing wall and the steering wheel. When it arrived I was going to wait for my husband to get home to put it together but when my son was taking a nap I decided to do it myself and it took me literally 15 minutes! So easy!

We placed the climber in a 10 x 10 sandbox and it takes up very little room and our grandson has a soft place to land when he slides. And since the Texas sun is very hot, he can get in the shade to play underneath the platform. He is so busy imaging when he plays on his climber! And begs to visit so he can play!!

I was overwhelmed by the size of the box, but also by how much my entire family uses the climber, everyone from my 2 year old son to his 60 year old grandma have climbed in and played. Hide and seek is our favorite game as a blanket over the top keeps us hidden from our personal "monster" aka daddy. My son loves the climber as do I. If you have a large play room as I do it fits nicely as an inside toy. Awsome product

I bought this for my 14month old son, who was intimidated at first, but now loves it. I get nervous about him going head-first down the slide and there are many openings for him to fall through. It takes a lot of very close and active supervision. Other reviewers bought this for their 1year olds, so I did too, but it is definitely for older children. I wish I had waited until he was 2 before I bought this.

My wife and I got this for our daughters 2nd birthday. She loves it, and it is holding up well so that our twins who are going to turn 1 this summer should get much use out of it as well. I put sand in the bottom and it is working out fine, the sand really helps to stablize the toy and keeps it from moving around the yard in the storms and wind we get here in OKlahoma.

Of course any climber from Step 2 is good to be great and this one is! My son is almost 18 months and has a ball, he is not able to climb the rock wall yet, but he will soon. His favorite part is the steering wheel! The only flaw I see in this product would be that they state that the playhouse area underneath could be filled with sand. At first I thought GREAT now we dont have to have the sandbox and the climber (we have a small back yard) but there is no way to cover the sand from cat/dog feces or rain. I just wish they would sell something you could cover it with.
