Wonderful product....we love it
from Unadilla, NY on 10/8/2008
Have had other Step 2 products and love the durability and portability of them all. Although this product is large it is still portable with "some" labor. My twins LOVE it!!! I have no complaints.
from Stafford, VA on 9/23/2008
Both of my kids love the swings, the double playhouse...great for learning how to share!!! A definite must have!!!
from grand island, ne on 9/15/2008
kids love the swing & glider.looks nice in back yard.
My 3 & 1 year old love this swing set. We looked into wood swing sets but who wants to deal with the maintenance? With the help of my father it took just about 5 hours to put together. I have only had it for 4 months and the canopy already faded and the screws that hold it down are rusted! Other than that this is a great set. I would recommend it to anyone.
from Flemington, NJ on 9/15/2008
This set arrived perfect and we couldn't wait to put it together. It took my husband, my brother and father 4-5 hours to assemble - so long as 1 person is reading the directions it goes smoothly. The entire neighborhood has enjoyed our new set - along with our 3 year old. It was worth every penny. Excellent product to be enjoyed for years to come!
from NM on 8/27/2008
the fort went together pretty easily, but the two poles that connect for the swings and the glider do not fit together as the instructions tell you.[...]
This product is wonderful backyard fun for my 3 year old grandson. Assembly was fast and easy. All pre-drilled holes matched perfectly. All pieces were included. It took two men 4 hrs to assemble with no difficulty. The set is sturdy. My only complaint is the canvas rooftop on the clubhouse faded to a light pink in 1 month. My grandson is dissapointed his clubhouse has a pink roof! For the price this product should have come with a durable plastic roof. The set will last a long time but the tarp roof will probably have to be replaced next summer due to the extreme heat in the south. I did not know this was a tarp roof. I see it in the product detail now but I don't think it was in there when I purchased mine in March 2008. It is attractive to the landscape of any yard except for the PINK roof!
from Sterling, CO on 8/23/2008
Well, as a Mom, Grandma & Daycare Provider I want you to know after reading all the reviews I knew what I was getting...good & bad. Assembly wasn't fun because the directions need revised, there was missing hardware, & some parts were hard to line up. The slide is too steep & bumpy, the stairs to the loft are straight up & down with no railing to hold on to, but the swings are great & I like that it's heavy-duty plastic & the kids won't get splinters. The kids absolutely LOVE it and that's what counts most!!!
from S.C. on 8/14/2008
My 21 month old LOVES it!!Have to bring him inside with much encouragement every evening!!
i REALLY ENJOY THE nATURALLY PLAYFUL SETS. I HAVE ALMOST EVERYONE IN MY DAYCARE PLAY YARD. tHE CHILDREN REALLY LOVE THE COTTAGE,SANDBOX,SEESAW,PICNIC TABLE AND ADVENTURE LODGE PLAYCENTER WITH GLIDER.gREAT PRODUCTS!!!!!!
from Michigan on 8/3/2008
My five year old just loves this set, it is perfect for her age. It can be very time consuming to put together, so you need at least a day to sort the parts, look over the instructions good (before you start to assemble), and to put it together. Of course my husband is NOT a handyman, but he did a good job. Took him a LONG time. He said the instruction were somewhat unclear @ times. Overall, it was worth it for our kids. Looks great in our back yard as well.
from Athens, GA on 7/30/2008
My 2 year old squealed with delight at the sight of the thing!! Although she is not yet able to get use of all of the activities, the slide, glider, and house are all big favorites right now. I am glad we didn't get a larger wooden one, it would have been too much for her, but I didn't want to get something to young for her either. This is just right...room to learn and grow. It would also be very movable if you HAD to!!
from Warren, MI on 7/23/2008
Be very careful following directions. Do not tighten anything until it specifically tells you to.
from MT on 7/22/2008
Some holes did not match up, which caused delay. My husband was able to set up with just my guidance in two evenings. My daycare kids like it. I would recommend this set for ages 2-5.
from Port Lavaca, TX on 7/22/2008
This product is being used for my preschool. I like the different areas that make it a nice playset for several children to have something to climb on, swing on, slide on and imagine many adventures on. The children I teach love to play on this playset.
from Dayton, OH on 7/19/2008
Purchased this 2 wks ago, and it's in the backyard partially assembled and unused because of poorly manufactured parts. Although replacement parts are being shipped, my toddler can only stare at her new playset. The experience should be a one-time incident. My family and I generally refer to Step2 products as "high" quality. Hopefully, we'll call this "high" quality after the replacement parts arrive and the playset is completely assembled.
from Cedar City, UT on 7/17/2008
I have a 2 1/2 year old and he LOVES this playset. I live where there is really harsh weather and all of our neighbors have purchased the wood sets, which have lasted about one year before they began to splinter. Also their kids were too small to really even play on anything but the swings and that was with the help of an adult. This swing set is great because it is not too big for my son to play and climb on without my help and it will hold up to the elements. I plan on just selling it to another family with young children when he outgrows it. Can't do that with a wood set.
from boston, va. on 7/14/2008
would not recommend because of terrible assembly instructions which appear to be wrong in places
from Lacygne, Ks. on 7/13/2008
We put this item in a playground area for our 2 year old son. He loves it and plays on it all the time. I do wish they had made the assembly instructions a bit easier to follow though.
from Georgia on 7/11/2008
We bought this swing set after much research. We looked into wooden, and metal swing sets. This one was the best value by far. Our 22 month old twin boys love this swing set. They can already do most everything on it. It's a great addition to our backyard. We're sure they will continue to enjoy it as they grow for many more years. We found it very easy to put together it took us just about 4 hours. With only me and my husband working on it. Thanks Step 2 for another great product!
I absolutley love this swingset!!! I had doubts about how much fun my daughter would actually find this but I am not dissapointed at all. We have had it 3 weeks now and it gets plenty of use every day.
It was really easy to assemble, only common sense needed and a bit of patience. It took my husband and I about 5 hours to put it together.
My 8 and 11 year old sons actually play on this as much as their sister and I'm not worried, it's pretty sturdy.
We used to have a wood one, it took days to put together and the kids only played on it a few times. We were very dissapointed. Not only that, it looked shabby after a short time. We left it behind when we moved because it wasn't worth moving.
I have many Step2 products and they are all sturdy and have lasted many years so I'm not worried about this set.
The price it a bit high but don't worry about you little one growing out if it too soon.
from BUFFALO, NY on 6/26/2008
AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I AM HAPPY I DID NOT BUY A WOODEN SET FOR MY SON'S 4 YR. BIRTHDAY. MY 11 MONTH TWIN BOYS CAN EVEN USE THIS SET TOO! THEY GO IN AND OUT THE CLUBHOUSE DOOR. I ALSO SWAPPED OUT A SWING FOR A TODDLER SWING FOR NOW. I MAY BUY A BIGGER WOODEN SET DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I FEEL THEY WILL ALL BE READY FOR IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE EXTENSION GLIDER!!!
from Orlando, Fl on 6/23/2008
First thing my 2 year old daughter wants to do when she wakes up is go play on her playground. We love it and we are very pleased with our decision to purchase this swing set. We have a small backyard and it is perfect. We also have an 8 month old, so we replaced one of the swings with a toddler swing for him. They love swinging next to eachother. It was relatively easy to put together for my husband and I. A few of the parts were mismarked. Also, the pictures showing where you were doing what were not very clear. A picture showing things a little more descriptive of the steps would have been helpful. Overall, it was easy to put together.
from Tennessee on 6/22/2008
This is a great product for our 2 year old with a few exceptions. The ladder on the back side of the playstructure is somewhat difficult for him to climb. The age limits start at 3, but the bottom playhouse is already at his height, so by next year, he will be too tall to stand upright in it. Despite these issues, I have and will continue to recommend this to friends. Assembly was very simple and 90% of the time was done by one adult.
from Tennessee on 6/21/2008
First off the directions are not easy to follow and the mislabeled parts do not help. The directions need to be rewritten correctly and easier to follow. Most of it can be figured out but when you have an excited kid ready to play you do not need wrong instructions holding you up. It is lots of fun and will get lots of use. The one thing that needs to be changed is the stairs are very steep and do not have handles for extra safety in climbing up. Either the stairs need handles or need to be made less steep so a child can not fall off. Our daughter kept sliding off the stairs because there is not any where for her to hold onto while climbing up. Maybe she will get better climbing as she gets older. Other than that it seems very enjoyable and much safer than the wooden swingsets.
Thanks Step 2 for great products.
from Kentucky on 6/19/2008
Have a 2 year old that is just old enough to enjoy the slide and swings with help. Loves the little house and is just so much fun to watch her and her friends play on it and enjoy themselves...
from Lockport, IL on 6/19/2008
This product is awesome! My 18 month old son just loves this! The slide is the best! Assembly would have taken me just 5 hours alone. [...]
from PITTSBURGH, PA on 6/17/2008
MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE AGES 4 & 7 & WILL BE ABLE TO GET MANY YEARS OF USE FROM THIS PRODUCT & NEXT YEAR THE ONE YEAR OLD WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT, TOO.
from S.E. Michigan on 6/16/2008
Over all very good design, however there are a few areas that could be better. First, the instruction manual, could be some what clearer as to some of the sub assembly pieces being used. The pieces themselves should have there item number on them. The thickness of the plastic could be greater in most of the load bearing areas. Height of the play area under the loft should be 4-5" higher.
from Vass, NC on 6/11/2008
We purchase this for our grandchildren. It looks very nice in our backyard and love the idea of no splinters. It is great to have a safe place for our grandkids to play. My husband and I put it together. Very Good Directions. Just follow the directions and it is easy. Fun Fun Fun and the fun is just beginning at Papoo's and GG's house!
from East Hampton CT on 6/9/2008
[...]My husband and father put it up in 5-6 hours, and my 2 year old daughter loves itmuch better than a metal swingset, but not as large as a wooden swingset you would pay a [$]forThis is perfect for my family, as I have another baby on the way, and the kids will be able to use it until they are probably 6 or 7My daughter loves the glider, the fort on top, and I like that it is plastic, much safer than metal or wood, and cleans very easy [...] it was much easier to assemble, and it is not as big so makes it much more safe for my little ones. For small children I think it is perfect-if you are buying for age 4 and up, you may want to consider a wooden set as the slides, etc are much bigger
from Dallas, Texas on 6/5/2008
I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old and they can both play on this. My 6 year old can get on the glider with her little brother and I can just watch them enjoy it and each other.
from Mobile, AL on 6/4/2008
We are using this product as part of our church playground equipment!
from Clovis, CA on 6/2/2008
This playset was very easy to put together, even with the instructions being mislabeled. I did alot of research before I purchased this playset and I'm very pleased on how sturdy it is along with how well it looks.
from Barrie, Ontario, Canada on 6/1/2008
We bought this swing set for our 3 young children, ages 4.5, 2.5 and 4mths. Although it is recommended for children ages 3+, it is easy for my 2.5yr old to enjoy. She can safely climb into the structure and swing on the glider without my help. The whole structure is perfect for our 4.5yr old. She loves the swings & the glider and challenges herself with the rope ladder and climbing wall. We could tell right away that this set will be fun for a number of years to come - even for our oldest.
Assembly is time consuming, but not more than you would expect for such a large structure. I assembled most of it in about 4hrs, and it might have taken my husband another 1.5hrs to add the swings, glider, adding the final bolts, etc, and pounding in the ground bars. We also purchased an infant/toddler swing to install in place of one of the belt swings - easy to do, and allows our infant to swing safely as well.
The instructions are very clear in my opinion, and the accompanying pictures help tremendously for visual learners like myself! I would recommend reading the instructions through, and looking at the photos at least once before getting started; to familiarize yourself with the natural succession of assembly. Overall, we are extrememly pleased (as are our children) with this set and recommend it to anyone with children ages 1-9.
from Cowen, Wv on 5/31/2008
This was a great addition to our play yard, We have the clubhouse climber,storybook cottage,picnictable, and a few other Step 2 pieces, And this is by far our favorite Step2 toy. Our daughter can't wait to get outside to play, And even though she's only 3 she can still do just about anything on this. We have nieces and nephews of all ages and they love it as well. I would recommend this product to anyone with small children, It's GREAT>..

from Franklin, MA on 5/30/2008
We couldn't be happier with this swing set, and it looks great in the back yard. The instructions were simple and easy to follow, although they did have some mislabeled parts. We liked the fact that no child can get a splinter from this set, as we've heard some horror stories about other sets. Overall, we are very happy and would recommend this to our friends.
from Philadelphia, PA on 5/30/2008
This product is wonderful! I have a homedaycare and the kids range from infants thru 5 year olds. All the kids enjoy everything that the swinget has to offer. There is so much to do and it was so easy to put together. I took two guys three hours to assemble the entire swingset.
from Mantua, OH on 5/30/2008
My 20 month old loves the fort and the glider. We had over 5 children from ages 1 1/2 to 10 playing on it Memorial Day and all had a blast. The play center is well constructed and we should have years of enjoyment on it.

from Chicago, IL on 5/29/2008
Our 20 month old enjoys her new swingset. However, she finds the playhouse boring (no table/stove/sink inside), and, due to the lack of handrails (?!), can't safely navigate the steep stairs to 2nd story & slide without an adult. Never would have purchased had I known handrails weren't included. She navigates our neighbor's wooden set like a pro (wish I would have gone that route). Would return if I could.
from Massena, NY on 5/29/2008
I love this swing set. It looks great in my backyard. I love that it is not wood, so I do not have to stain it every year. It gets dirty just hose it off. My children and the day care children just have so much fun on it. There is so much you can do. It is very sturdy. I love that it comes with its own stakes to hold it down so I don't have to cemet it into the ground. The only thing that I don't like about it is the top of the clubhouse needs to be higher so that the children older than four can stand up more comfortably. The slide should be straight not bumpy. The children go down the slide to slow. Other than that I think it was worth every penny that I have spent.
from Austin, TX on 5/25/2008
We bought this for our son even though he is only 15 months. We knew it would be something he could grow into. My son and his friends really enjoy the new playscape. He loves to play in the fort and we replaced one of the swings with a toddler swing which he really enjoys. The playscape fits perfectly in our backyard and really compliments the yard.
It took about 7 hours to completely assemble. While I didn't think it was extremely difficult it was time consuming and a few of the pieces required a bit of patience. I only had to make one adjustment where the bolt wouldn't fit properly though a section. No parts were missing and it is a well designed unit.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the price. I think it is a tad bit over priced but it is good quality.
The directions were easy to read with the exception of some of the parts did not match up with the letters and illustrations. This didn't cause to much trouble, it's obvious which parts you need by the pictures.
from O on 5/24/2008
Kids love the glider! It's a fun way for them to swing. Like that there are many activities on one set; fort, swings, glider, rope ladder, hoop.
We bought this swingset for our 3 boys for easter, ages 4,3 and 7 months. My husband started it on friday evening and it was done by saturday afternoon,with help from 2 other people. The directions are not very clear and at first it seems very difficult to assemble. My advice is to label everything. There was no missing pieces and everything lined up fine. Overall it is a great product and the kids love it, we have had as many as 8 kids playing on it at one time.
from Lake Charles, Louisiana on 5/22/2008
This is a great value. Grandchildren 4, 7, 10 love it and they hold "Club" meetings in the little fort. Assembly was reasonably fast and my son and daughter put it together. He actually did most of it by himself. No complaints.

from Maryland on 5/20/2008
My husband and I had no difficulty assembling the Play Center. My 22 month old daughter absolutely loves the glider! She also enjoys the toddler swing I purchased separately from the Play Center. Though my daughter uses the slide, my hope is to be able to find a slide with a less steep grade to replace the existing. I love Step2 products and have recommended the Play Center to my neighbor who has a toddler as well. You can't beat the quality for the price!

from Wayne, NJ on 5/18/2008
Great product and very sturdy once assembled. The material is great and the design is fun and the size is great. Assembly, however, was very difficult. The holes for the platform didn't line up, causing a major delay. So far it's been worth the trouble. I also suggest putting the ladder at a greater angle for easier climbing, it's just about vertical.

from SOCAL on 5/17/2008
We bought this for our daughter for her 5th b-day. It is such a nice set. We love the looks, feel, and design. I'd say the only drawback was the amount of time to put it together and you def. need at least 2 people. But besides that everything is just perfect. Our daughter just loved it when she walked out in the backyard and received it as her surprise gift. She has so much fun on it. I esp. like the fact that it is not wood and we don't have to worry about splinters, refinishing and treating wood every so many years. Just rinse and go if its dirty or hot! And I highly recommend the glider extension. Our lil one is an only child and she can do this all by herself...boy can she get going and get pretty high! Makes me wish I were a kid again ;) Oh and I love the color scheme, neutral and just very nice and clean. I love it so much I am buying the picnic table to match and replacing the sand water table I currently have with the matching one. We have the large house as well and everything just goes so well, lasts thru the really warm summers we have, and we have had no problems with any inside or outside Step2 products at this time. :) And yes we have the toy box, kitchenette, and matching desk inside as well. So we are familiar with it all!

from Annapolis, MD on 5/16/2008
The swings are nice, the slide could be a bit faster and more fun.
The look out tower is great, but the rope could be on a horizontal slant, instead of vertical.
Easy to clean, and safe for the little ones.
from Brewster, NY on 5/13/2008
This play set is in our backyard & it looks great. The plastic rather than wood give me a sense of peace knowing that we won't have to worry about splinters or painful knocks against the supporting components. It's very difficult to line up the various parts to ensure you can fit the bolts through. Also, the basketball backboard can only be attached in 3 places, rather than the 4 that are expected.
from Indiana on 5/13/2008
We bought this for our 18 month old daughter. She absolutely loves the playset, and wanted to play on it before my Husband could completely get it together. While she is too young to fully utilize the set, there are many aspects for her to enjoy and she will be able to have fun with this set for several years to come. My husband spent the weekend, working at his leisure to put the set together. Some of the parts were mislabled, and the instructions were sometimes confusing, but all and all it was not so bad to put together. He did not have any issues with pre-drilled holes not lining up like many others complained of. Maybe the company made some good changes as a result of previous complaints. The only thing wrong with the set was the ladder, which is 6 inches too short. I called Step2 and the lady was not very friendly. She told me it would stretch out eventually. I can tell you right now it is not possible, and my Husband is emphatic of that fact. If you pull and try to force it, it pulls out of the bracket. I will call again to try to get a replacement and hopefully will get a different operator. With the exception of the ladder issue, the set is GREAT! [...]
from delaware on 5/12/2008
excellent product that my 2 and 1/2 yo daughter loves playing with. directions are not good, we were able to assemble it fine, however, many items and parts in the directions were not numbered correctly which made it more difficult
from Weirton, WV on 5/10/2008
Great set. It was a little difficult to put together, but took my time and it is worth it. Your kids will love this!! Directions were not the best, but if I put it together, you should be able to.
from Feasterville, PA on 5/9/2008
My husband and I purchased this swingset as an early birthday present for our daughters, one who will be 4 and the other who will be 1 but not until the very end of the summer, but we wanted them to enjoy the swingset all summer. [...]. It only took my husband (who is a contractor) about 4 hours to put it together. My 7 month old obviously can't use it too much now but we replaced one of the swings with a baby swing and she loves to swing. And my 3 1/2 year old loves everything about it, the swing the glider the lodge and the slide, but her favorite is the rope ladder. The only thing I wish is that I could go on it with them. I am a petite mom only 5' tall and I went into the lodge so the baby could sit up there (of course I would have to be with her) and it does say max weight 300 pounds but the floor of the lodge does not seem very firm, kinda flimsy, and if I continue to go in there I'm afraid the floor will start to sag. I also wish the swing and glider held more weight, I would love to swing on the glider with my daughter, but this swing set is obviously only kid friendly, and not for adults which is a shame. So I guess my swinging days are over. ALL in ALl it was a great purchase, it will last long, won't fade and will get a lot of use.

We HIGHLY recommend at least 2 people to assemble and 1 person to give directions from the book as you go along. We had 5 guys total and it went rather smoothly. About 3 hours total. [...].Our 4 children LOVE it. Ages 10,4,3 and 1 and we are pleased that all are able to use it and all equally love it.Also, the roof is fabric so we're concerned about it shredding in the wind. This happened with our former playset after about 3 months, so time will tell.
from Aurora, CO on 5/5/2008
Fairly easy assembly,some confusion with directions Mom & Dad able to assemble in 1/2 a day. Product would be perfect if parts were numbered or lettered and if slide were wider and less bumpy.

Our play center was put together in less than 3 1/2 hours--not sure what other people are doing wrong--our grandchildren love it and I am certain it will hold up to our Upper Peninsula winters since we have 3 other Step2/Naturally Playful outdoor pieces that we've had for at least 4 years.
