Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We bought the sandbox/bench combo and the kids all have enjoyed using it for the past two summers.

The umbrella has been up all of that time and had started to look bad so it was wonderful to see that they sold replacements!

We'll be sure to order more when we need a new one. All of the outdoor products are built really well!

Good product. Easy to assemble.

Service & Delivery comments:

I would make the top portion adjustable. If I use the bottom attachment, the umbrella is too tall and doesn't shade my 16 month old. If I use only the top half of the umbrella, it's too short for me to play too.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We had purchased the picnic table a few years ago. Although it has been pretty rainy this year, our girls like to sit outside and eat their lunch/dinner if the weather is nice enough. On the hot days they would complain of the seat being too hot to sit down and I would worry about them getting too much sun. This shades them great and keeps the seat from getting too hot for their legs. The design is prettier than I thought it would be. It's just what we needed! It was a gift for our daughter for her 3rd B-day, but I think her 5 year old sister was more excited than the youngest.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I ordered this product to replace the original umbrella that came with the picnic table. This one provides more shade than the original, so the kids can sit at the table and be almost completely shaded from the sun. The last one only shaded one side of the table. Seems to be sturdier as well. The kids are happier that they can enjoy their lunch outside on sunny days rather than be inside all the time.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I have never taken the time to review something before, but I was so disappointed in the quality of this umbrella material, I decided to respond to their request for a review. The umbrella material developed several small holes near the hinges within the first few days of using it. I was very surprised and disappointed. Unfortunately, this is the only umbrella I know of that fits the sand & water table, so we are continuing to use it with the holes.

We will not only use this with the table but we will take it to the beach for a little sun relief. [...]. We are very pleased with our purchase and experience!!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

The new outdoorsy leaf print for the Step 2 umbrellas this year is much better than the ugly brown stripes of last years' design. The beige color and the generous size are helpful for blocking out the sun over my daughter's picnic table.

One con - after two uses one of the tines popped out of the top hub and ripped the fabric. I was able to put the tine back into place.

Also, be very cautious of any wind. One mild gust took the umbrella straight up in the air and across the yard into the fence. It's *very* lightweight.

Note that although the umbrella fabric looked yellow to me on my computer, the main color of the fabric is a medium beige. Not ugly but not what I expected.

Step2 Response: Thank you for taking the time to complete the review. We encourage you to contact us at 800-347-8372 for assistance with your umbrella.

The only thing is the poor guality of the clip that tightens the umbrella pole inside of the anchor pole...it's plastic and of not very good quality.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I previously had the striped one that originally came with the naturally playful picnic table. It didn't last long since it was very flimsy, so I was happy to find this one to replace it. It seems improved and is also larger. The price for this product on the Step2 website was also the best I've found even with the[...], which surprised me.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

This is a great umbrella. It is large enough to provide a good amount of shade and I love that it blocks UV rays. It's easy to assemble and is well made. Works great with the picnic table, but could also be taken to the beach on its own. I would not leave it open during wind storms, as it could blow away. We're very happy with this product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

The umbrella isn't incredibly well built, but it is fairly large and provides nice shade over the sand/water table. Plus, it does look nice. I actually picked up the table at a rummage sale but it was minus the umbrella. I was thrilled that Step2 offers the umbrella solo. Shopping at the site was also super easy. I would shop here again.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

I use this for my granddaughter's picnic table. It's the perfect height when opened, tall enough not to be dangerous to the eyes.

The color/design could be a little more fun, should be brighter colors.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We have all of the Naturally Playful outdoor products and the original umbrellas on the table and water play table were starting to rip after several years of being outside year round in California. I am glad a replacement is available and that they lasted as long as they did. They aren't the same style as the original but they still match the set. Thanks...

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

This is a nice, well-made umbrella. My son and daughter love to eat their lunch outside at their picnic table, but they were getting burned without any covering. This umbrella works really well to help that, I just wish the umbrella was slightly larger to help block the sun from the entire table (it only covers about half). We accidentally left it outside in a wind storm recently and there was absolutely no damage to the umbrella, which was a big surprise. Overall it is a great item that works well for my children.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Umbrella:

We have a naturally playful swing set from a few years back. Sand and water tabel, 2 picnic tables and just got a play house. We needed to tie all the colors together from past years and current purchases. By getting this unbrella it pulls all our toys together. We also use the extra umbrella's in the yard for kids to sit under for shade. We take them down after every use and store them to reduce ware. They are the best priced from step 2 direct. [...] Love all five we own and are still in prefect condition!

We love our new umbrella! It is holding up VERY well against the Texas winds and my daughter LOVES to sit under it and eat at her picnic table. She wants it up even when she's in the shade! So cute!
