Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I just ordered my second umbrella for my Step2 picnic table. Some might consider that a bad thing, but I LOVE this umbrella and the other one was well used. We live in hurricane country and the weather down here can be hard on outdoor toys. The first umbrella took a lot of beating before we had to replace it. Thank you Step2 for another great product!

My umbrellas get a lot of abuse from the sun and wind and do stand up to them both very well. I did have to replace both of them this year (after two years of hard weather). But at a price of under [$] each - replacing them was convenient and affordable! Thanks Step 2 - you are my favorite outdoor play manufacturer!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

Product was purchased to replace another Step2 umbrella for a sand table that was lost in a storm. I was unable to find a replacement for the original so this was purchased as a replacement. This umbrella is larger than the lost one and did not have the straps to tie it to the table that the other had, as the original umbrella also acted as a cover when the table was not in use. I was disappointed that Step2 no longer had that model but I chose to buy and adapt this one to our needs.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I use this umbrella for the Naturally Playful Sand and water table. It is so easy to put together and take apart so it can be stored. You have to take it out of the sandbox if you want to put the cover on so I just close the umbrella and take the two pieces apart and it fits nicely into a toy box. It does have a point at the bottom for sticking in dirt or grass but I use it on a brick patio and works just fine. I do wish it was just a little bigger and longer on the sides to keep out more sun. I was impressed with this umbrella considering it is not expensive.

Great for playing in the Sun!

The umbrella that had come with our sand box ripped after 3 years.. so we had to find a new one. STep2 had just the right one at a great price. We're so happy we didn't have to buy a new sandbox just to get the new umbrella. It gives nice shade so our kids can play all day in the sand!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I love this umbrella! It is large enough to cover the whole table and the people sitting under it, unlike the small ones you find from discount stores that cover just the middle of the table. It matches the naturally playfull toys perfect. Easy for even the children to use. Although, it is not suitable for children to open. Potential finger pinch hazards and metal poles present problems if done without parental supervision. The umbrella did not make it through one year left outside to the elements. But the price is so good that I can easily buy another one without being upset. Hint: Do not leave it out in high winds or snow.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We've had our Step 2 Naturally Playful table for years but didn't get the umbrella for it until this summer. It's great! I wish we had gotten it sooner. It keeps the sun off your little ones when they eat outside and keeps the seats cool enough to actually sit on with shorts! You can adjust the height and the quality of the material is excellent. My kids love to twirl it while sitting, too, for some reason. Great buy at a great price!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We bought this as a replacement for the first one. The umbrella adjusts in height and the clip that holds it in place is plastic - it broke after about 2 yrs. Other than that it's a fabulous product. Also if you live in the Southwest - store it away unless it's being used.

I would buy this product again and again

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We love the sand/water table that we bought 3 years ago. I was very glad that a replacement umbrella could be easily found. Our old umbrella had cracked due to the excessive heat here in Tx.
I also appreciate the low price!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I have one of these umbrellas for the sand and water table and I really like how large it is and you can adjust the height. I bought another one for my son's fold and store picnic table by little tikes. It didn't come with an umbrella and to purchase one from them it was twice as much as this one and smaller. This one fit and it matches with the table just fine.

I absolutely wanted the table umbrella for the yard and was thrilled it was available on-line at a very reasonable price.
I would have paid a bit more for the table had the umbrella been include. Also, I would prefer the fabric be canvess not plastic.
