Grandtwins Flip Out Over Cottage

My grandtwins were so happy with this playhouse. They started playing with it before it was put together. Running and screaming and attacking each part as it was added. Only problem was a part was left out of the shippment. The table. So we'll have to disassemble the one wall and roof to add the table when it comes in. [...]Addie and Webber will have many hours of fun in their very own cottage!Baby Max will be ready to play next summer.

I bought this on line for my daughters 2nd birthday while deployed to Iraq, my husband put it together in 2 hours and said my daughter loves to play in it for hours. It made me happy with the ease of ordering on line and the other reviews since I could not be home for her birthday. Step-2 products are the best so far for the money and durability

Got this last night and was able to put it together by myself, with just a screw driver in a little over an hour. The only trouble I've had is with the phone hook, I am still working on that. My 2 1/2 year old LOVES the house! She is cooking, cleaning, talking, ringing, mailing and having a fantastic time!

My parents gave this toy to my 2yr old daughter for christmas, and she loves it. We had it the house over the winter and it keep her busy for hours and we put it outside this spring. Her and the neighbors kid love to play together in the house. The only bad things about it was, there where no screw holes in some of the places that there need to be and if you don't have a power screw driver it make it very hard to push the screws through, and with bad weather you have to put something heavy in the bottom so it wont blow away. But all together my daughter really enjoy having this house.

It was easy to put together except for the fact that the holes for the screws are not predrilled. The plastic is too tough for just a screwdriver. You would think that the company could predrill the holes.

Cute!
By Mom of 2 from TX on 4/28/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Easy Assembly, Hours of Fun, Weather Resistant
Best Uses:
Group Play, Individual Play, Small Children
Describe Yourself:
Parent of Two or More Children
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

We've had this for over 2 years now. It still gets played with quite a bit, has no fading, and looks like new. It is small (which for us was perfect), best for kids age 1-5. Our 7 year old still gets in it though. About 2-3 kids max inside. BUT, with the windows and all, you can still have more kids buzzing around outside, ringing the doorbell, delivering "mail," etc.

The open-air style is also welcome in areas where it is hot--it keeps the air flowing through. Most playhouses are so shut-in, that come July or August, the kids can't sit inside the house. This keeps air flowing through quite nicely.

I really like this because of the built-in floor. You don't have to worry about a fire ant mound (here in TX) , plus it keeps the interior cleaner. I put it together myself, while my husband was doing other yardwork. So, easy to put together, very simple to maintain (hose off from time to time), doesn't fade or wear, it's great!

Overall, great little cottage for the money. However, telephone is made very cheap-the buttons stick causing batterys to die quickly. Table is very flimsy-needs some reinforcement to make more sturdy. The door bell & mail box are great features. My daughter really loves this little cottage! Just wish it was a little better quality.

This is the best playhouse for the dollar. I checked around & found quite a difference in price. The kids in my daycare have so much fun with it. The mail slot is a favorite even over the door bell.Assembly was easy as long as you predrilled the holes. I absolutely love it!

CUTE PLAYHOUSE

This is a nice playhouse but I would not recommend for a child over 3 years. I have two 4 year old grand kids and they have to duck to go through the door. I also have a 15 mo. old granddaughter and it seems perfect for her. Also the assembly is somewhat difficult.

Very Cute, Perfect Indoors or Outdoors

Bottom Line:

I purchased this playhouse for my grandson's first birthday after reading the reviews from others online. It is currently in their playroom, but will go outdoors for the warmer weather, thanks to the floor to keep him off the ground.
I'm told it's his favorite toy and he spends a lot of time in it. He loves ringing the doorbell and opening and closing the door and shutters. He has climbed out through the windows, as well, and just enjoys playing all around it.
Although he likes putting "mail" through the mail slot, I was a bit disappointed to see that the door on the mailbox does not open. I also was surprised to see that the telephone doesn't ring or at least have push buttons on it.
My grandson loves it, and so do his parents! My daughter-in-law is 5'8" and is able to crawl in and sit with him, and when the play group comes over, there is plenty of room for several little ones in there at once.
I think that, because of it's size, this playhouse will be appropriate for another 2 or 3 years for my grandson. The price was right and everyone is very pleased with it. It is well made and should last for many years.

I love Step2 products and this one did not let me down! I wanted a house for my almost 3 year old son, but did not want to spend a lot of money and wanted one that would blend in my backyard color-wise. It only took me 1 1/2 hours to assemble this house and that included the time it took me to get out my tools and clean-up in the end. I did use a drill to drill through some holes to start them as others had recommended. I was most worried about the height of this product but loved the color, compactness, and opennes of the design and the fact that it was Step2, so I went with it! At 38" my son fits in it just fine and should not have to duck in it for at least another year or so. Even after that I don't think he will mind ducking a bit. This house would be absolutely perfect if they just made it a few inches taller!

Carson got this for her very first birthday and she absolutely loves it. There is plenty of room for me to fit in there with her and play. She loves the doorbell and peeking her head out of the windows. We have it in our living room now since it is still cold and she plays with it all of the time. I like the colors of the house alot too. This house was super easy to put together. It literally only took 20 minutes to put together. I think that is a really great house for the money.

Not getting hours of play out of it, but she does like to go in and out of it thruout the day. WE are keeping this inside in our living room. She loves the phone and doorbell. A powerdrill is a must for putting this together, my dad had this together in less then 20 min! Thanks step 2 for the great products!

My girls received this as a Christmas gift from their grandparents and it is still sitting in the middle of the living room! They have not stoped playing in it and do not want us to put it outside (we live in the midwest and it is very cold outside!) The only problem we had was the box didn't contain enough screws and the little table was missing. [...] Otherwise, this is a fabulous playhouse for the price! I'm sure my girls will have many exciting adventures in their playhouse this summer!

I chose this particular playhouse because it is small enough to be indoors during the winter, and small enough to fit through the doorway so we can move it outside during warmer weather. I watch 8 children during the day, and they love it! It is fun to watch the imagination that is generated from this "toy". Their favorite thing to do is play "house" and now they have a neat and tidy one to play in!

I love this house. I think its so cute and my son loves it also. he has been in it all day so far. (he just got it) my only downfall on it is that i dont have a drill and it said i could use a screwdriver but a drill is recomended. it took me over 4 hrs to put together cause i had to pop all the holes in the tough plastic myself. I would have hoped for it to be done already. other than that i totally love this product and will be buying more from step 2! i just need to buy a drill!

Wish I had bought this earlier. We have set the playhouse inside the house in our living room and our 18 month old daughter loves being there. Its her special place, she loves the door and the phone. She loves calling it her "house". Keeps her busy. I will be buying many more step2 products in the future. I specially like this open design of the playhouse as it enables us to clearly view what she is doing in there.

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

We purchased this for our older child over two years and loved it then. Now it is the favorite place for her and her new sister. I love the solid floor and the texturing never seemed to both my daughters bare feet. It goes out in the summer and comes in in the winter. We have to partially disassemble every time, but the assembly is easy, even without an electric screwdriver. A plus, with the solid floor I can put and inch or two of water in the bottom in the summer for my girls to splash (the drainage holes don't work very well on grass) and it is easy to tip over to empty when they are done.

Only down side, at the age of 4 my daughter is getting too tall (43"). She wants a bigger playhouse (the welcome home playhouse no less!)

We love the playhouse. It is perfect in size and very sturdy. The phone is the cutest thing. All the buttons work and everything.

The only con is that the groves in the floor are cute and all but very hard to keep clean and not very comfortable for bare feet. We keep the playhouse in our home (not outside) and milk and such gets trapped in the groves of the floor. It is beyond a pain to keep clean.

Besides the floor everything else is great. To make the floor work for us we put a bathroom rug in the playhouse. It covers just enough to actually catch some stuff and we just pull it out and clean it.

By the way we have a 10yr old, 2yr old, and 8mth old.

perfect playhouse
By KarenVerified Reviewer from Baltimore, Md on 7/15/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Durable, Easy Assembly, Hours of Fun, Safe, Very easy assembly, Weather Resistant
Best Uses:
Individual Play, Small Children
Describe Yourself:
Working Parent
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This was very easy to assemble. Some stated that a drill is required, which is not. We assembled this in 15 minute's with a screwdriver. My one year old loves this playhouse, especially the phone, doorbell and front door. We bought this because he loves to open and close doors, and that is just what he does.

I bought this playhouse for my daughter, age 2 1/2. She absolutely loves her new playhouse. She can play with it for hours. It is a great addition to our backyard; unfortunately, I think she might outgrow this quickly because she is tall for her age. Otherwise, great buy for the money!

Great Playhouse
By Em and Maddy's mom from Northeast Indiana on 5/8/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Hours of Fun
Best Uses:
Group Play
Describe Yourself:

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

My two daughters LOVE this playhouse. My husband put it together quite quickly, but you do need an electric drill. We were two screws short in the packaging for the roof, but my husband found some in the garage that worked. I wished it had two phones (one for each girl)!! They fight over it. Great playhouse. I love that it has a floor already in it.

The price is a definite pro compared to some of the other playhouses. I do think that a cordless drill is a necessity to assemble this playhouse. My daughter loves it!
