Only child and group of children love this. Easiest for me to get in and out of. Chose the smaller Natural Cottage, but should have gotten this. Was even on sale for [$] once when toy store closed. Best playhouse, most sturdy.Worth every penny.
from ontario, canada on 9/19/2008
Expensive for what it is. Nice playhouse but difficult to put together. Screws rusted after first rainfall including those on the phone that was never in direct contact with water. Doesn't come with much to do for the kids.
from Newton, NH on 9/5/2008
My grandson loves this house cannot get him out of it
from Denver, CO on 8/25/2008
My daughter got this for her 3rd birthday & has played with it every day since. All her friends love it too - in fact we didn't even get to any of the planned games at her party because the kids played in the playhouse the entire time!
from Seattle, WA on 8/24/2008
[...] Easy to put together. Kids love it.They give you four pins for the bottom - but there are slots for pins in the top and bottom. After putting it mostly together, I decided to add pins to the top as well - a $5 purchase at [...] (had to cut a rod in 4 pieces) - and that added to the stability considerably. We have 3 kids - a 3 year old and twin 2 year olds. They love it.
from Sudlersville, MD on 8/22/2008
This is a spacious, durable, and very attractive playhouse. My children just love it! This will give my children hours of imaginative fun. I did purchase the fold out chairs to go along with them, they're great too. Thanks once again step2!
from Central Wisconsin on 8/20/2008
We purchased this playhouse for our granddaughter's 2nd birthday. She just loves going in and out, talking on the telephone, eating at the little table, and especially ringing the doorbell. Can't wait until her cousins come for the housewarming birthday party. They will have so much fun playing in the house together.
from Kearney, NE on 8/20/2008
Step 2's playhouses are perfect to use at our Head Start child and family development centers as they are cute, durable and fun.
from McMinnville, OR on 8/18/2008
We purchased this for our daughters 3rd birthday and it was a big hit! The larger size was appealing to me because we also have a 6 year old boy. They both can fit inside easily along with the neighbor kids. Assembly was easy for my husband. I think it took him an hour or so. We hope to get many years out of this as we are expecting our 3rd any day now!! I have been very satisfied with my other step2 purchases.
from Kent Ohio on 8/16/2008
My husband and I were very disappointed with this product. The overall quality is poor. The stickers came on the product and were wrinkled and crooked. There are uneven grooves and edges from where the plastic was made in the molds. On the directions, it displayed the sunroof as having premade holes for the screws and ours did not have any. I do not know how this product passed inspection.
from Vail, CO on 8/12/2008
This product was a nightmare to assemble, the directions are only pictures. There are no pins included or described for the top to hold it square--only the bottom--so we had to "McGyver" the thing together with sticks from the yard to be able to put the roof on. Alot of money for that kind of frustration!I just hope it stands up to the weather now!
from Montclair, NJ on 8/12/2008
My 3 1/2 year old and 18 month old love this playhouse. It is a safe place for them to play in our backyard and I can actually fit inside it too ! It is large but great for when their friends come over to play - they all pile inside.
from South Beloit, Il on 8/12/2008
She loves the doorbell and talking on the play phone while she's cooking. I also liked that I can shut the shutters to keep rain from getting in. It is also really tall inside so I'm not killing my back. I think it was worth the money to get this model for that very reason. Great buy.
from Nashville, TN on 8/8/2008
We are very happy with this product. My kids really love it and have a lot of fun. Excelent desing and quality. I would recomend it to a friend. Thanks STEP2
from Wantagh, NY on 8/7/2008
My 1 and 3yr. old daughters love playing in their playhouse. They "cook" and "make tea" whenever they're in there. The playhouse is well-made and very durable. Adults can actually fit in there too. Definitely recommend this playhouse over any other I've seen.
from Iowa on 8/6/2008
This is a very nice product for my daughter, she loves the working doorbell and the phone, although for the price, it is a little flimsy, and there isn't much accessories on the inside (kind of plain).
from Royersford, PA on 8/5/2008
This was a great purchase. Great size for the children to grow into. My daughter loves this house. The first words out of her mouth in the morning are "My house". It has plenty of room for my husband and two children to fit inside. We have also put two chairs in the house and have added a few 3M hooks for her to hang items on the walls. She loves the phone that come with it. It's comical to see her have conversations while sitting at the built in table. My son loves ringing the doorbell. On the downside, there isn't much holding the house together. So, my husband put in additional carpentry screws to make the house more sturdy. Even with the additional screws, still took us only an hour to put together. I would definitely recommend purchasing through Step 2. [...]saved A LOT of money and [...].
from Liberal Kansas on 8/4/2008
My daughter loves the playhouse and so did my nephew. I wish there was more stuff on the inside of the house and the outside does not seem to fit together perfectly. All in all I like it
from N.J. on 8/4/2008
My son and daughter in law love it ,not to mention my 2 year old grandson. This is great for up to 4 children to play in.
from Tampa, FL on 8/3/2008
Overall sturdy and durable design. Children love to play in and love having a little house of their own.Did not contain all the parts and several stickers were put on without attention to details. Some stickers were already coming off. Most had creases underneath and were not placed properly.[...]
from Somerset, nj on 8/3/2008
My daughter loves her house, and wants to play in it all the time
from Thornton, Colorado on 8/3/2008
We put ours in the basement so that she can use it all year long without regard to weather. She is only three but has used it not only as her house, but her cousins turned it into a drive thru resturant because of the design of the windows. I even fit in there with her!!!
from Buffalo, NY on 7/31/2008
Granddaughter uses her imagination and plays in her new playhouse everyday..... loves the doorbell.
from Pennsylvania on 7/27/2008
This is a very nice product. My daughter loves it. The only thing I was disappointed with was I thought it would have more things on the inside such as a fireplace or pictures on the walls.
from Enola, PA on 7/27/2008
My daughter spends hours out in her playhouse, she loves it. Easy to assemble. Plenty of room for mom and daughter to have a tea party.
from Marshfield MA on 7/26/2008
This was our grandaughter's third birthday present. She absouletly loves it and uses it daily.
We intend to order another one next year for our other grandaughters birthday.
the playhouse looks much, much bigger on the pictures ,than it really is...I was expecting something larger and more roomy ,for the money ...
the size of it disapointed me a lot.
besides it's pretty and nice, I hope that my kids will find it attractive enough to play in it for hours....
from Ponca City Oklahoma on 7/24/2008
I have a four year old little girl and she loves it,as for me i really wish it had a floor...lots of fun my little boy loves it also..
from Seatle, WA on 7/24/2008
The playhouse is attractive and my grandchildren have enjoyed playing in the playhouse. The house was very easy to put together with only one exception. The predrilled screw holes in the roof edges should be lower for two reasons; 1- some of the holes did not allow the screws to go into the top of the sides, and 2- with the holes being so close to the roof, it was hard to turn the screwdriver without your finders hitting the roof. .
from Ohio on 7/23/2008
My son just turned 3 and loves to play in his "house". He has to ring the doorbell everytime he opens the door. It is a good size, still too expensive though. The sky light keeps blowing off, we'll have to glue it down or something.
from Oceanside, CA on 7/22/2008
Best price for the size of the house. The only thing we had difficulty with was putting the roof on. It doesn't fit as easily as it should but with some elbow grease you can definitely work it. Also, the stickers inside the house came wrinkled but you just have to smooth them out. We also think they should have included 8 rods for reinforcement instead of 4. That would have made the assembly easier. Other than those minor mishaps, our daughter loves it and plays in it forever! Gotta love that.
from Chippewa Falls, WI on 7/21/2008
My girls 1 1/2 yrs and 3 yrs just love to play and pretend in their playhouse. They will giggle and play for quite some time and I don't have to worry about them. It is sturdy and very safe! [...] We love it!
from Fallston, MD on 7/19/2008
My father purchased this house for my 16 1/2 month old daughter after seeing it at one our relatives homes. We chose this model because it is larger than most and can fit multiple children. My daughter loves the playhouse and screamed with exictement when she first saw it. My oder nieces and nephew (12, 9, 4) were over the first day and they were all able to fit into the house together. Since we assembled the house my daughter has played in it every day. We got a small set of dishes so she can have a tea party in the house. The only drawback was the assembly of the roof. My husband had to be creative with getting the roof to attach.
I just love how I can look at my daughter and see the smiles on her face as she play's with her step 2 items. I have the sandbox, sliding board, waterwheel, angle fish teeter totter, adventure lodge swing set and the pinic table with umberlla as well as other items. I have not had a problem with putting things together nor have I ever experienced any bad instructions(thank GOD) like I have read. I would like to say thank you to the step 2 productions for the smiles that you have put on my daughters face as well as millions of other children's faces. I enjoy that I can also play with her in many of the items. It holds up well for older children as well. To clean these items I just spray them down with the hose (very easy). Again THANK YOU STEP 2. It is worth EVERY DIME.
from katy, texas on 7/18/2008
great playtime activity
from Paso Roble, CA on 7/17/2008
Love this house!
from Shelton, Connecticut on 7/15/2008
I love the design of this house it is the perfect size and the colors are very attractive. I wish there was a way to keep the windows either open or shut to avoid little fingers from becoming caught, and my husband used some extra screws to make the house more sturdy. The assembly wasnt so bad although the last thing they want you to put on is the welcome mat which requires you to tip the whole house on it's side (not what you want your last step to be). In addition for the price of this house it should come with a chair or two for the inside table. Other than that my daughter just had a birthday party with 32 children they all climbed all over the house (not at the same time of course) and it held up and was easy to hose down to clean. I am very pleased with the purchase.
from Big Bear Lake, CA on 7/15/2008
it took my husband less than 30 minutes to put it together. It was a great birthday gift and our daughter especially loves that she can open and close the windows and the phone is a wonderful accessory. She had four friends in the house with her and there was plenty of room for everyone. One of the best purchases we've made.
from Katy, Texas on 7/15/2008
kids love going in and out of it playing around pool
from Golden, CO on 7/14/2008
Great outdoor playhouse, especially with a group of kids. So far its a big hit.
from Matawan, NJ on 7/14/2008
We bought it for our twin 15 month olds. The size of the house is great although I did think it was going to be a bit bigger. It was the biggest sized playhouse I could find and adults can definitely fit into it. The assembly was very easy. I did it myself (a 33 year old mom) although my husband did provide minimal assistance when I had to lift the house for one step in the assembly. I do not like how the roof and the sides of the house stay connected to each other. I feel there should be more screws involved especially since the roof pieces do not line up exactly. The doorbell and phone are neat, but I think the faucet should make some noise too and maybe they could have added a mailbox that makes sounds too. In addition, I think they could have added some accessories to it for the price we paid for it--maybe a chair, a mailbox with mail and some kitchen accessories. I do love it and would recommend it. I just think it should have been a bit less expensive or had extra features to make the price more worth it. It does seem that it will last for a long time so I guess that makes the price more worth it. And the kids love it so, of course, that is very important too!
from Weslaco, TX on 7/14/2008
This is very roomy and spacious enough for me to be able to enjoy it with my child. It was easy enough for Mommy to assemble it all by herself.
from Mississippi on 7/13/2008
I have two little girls, 22 months and 4 and they have fallen in love with their playhouse. We wanted a playhouse that was taller than the average one so the girls could use it for several years to come. Our oldest is pretty tall for her age. This one is plenty tall and will be apart of our family for many years. Also this playhouse is easy to assemble and will be easy to move with us to future duty stations.
from Avon Park, FL. on 7/12/2008
I thought the house was awesome. It was big enough for me to fit in! It was not difficult to assemble, it was sturdy, and it had a lot of really cool features.
from Pgh, PA on 7/10/2008
I think it would be better if it had a floor. It is a great house and my daughter likes it.
We bought this playhouse for our 2yr old Granddaughter. That was 10yrs ago. She is now a little over 12yrs old. She played in it up till about 2yrs ago. My great nieces and nephews, neighbor kids, kids I have baby sat have all played in the little house. I have a second set of grandkids, an almost 3yr old, a 1yr old and a 10 month old. I know they will all enjoy the little house as well. The little house is very durable it has went through over 10yrs of Kansas weather and it still looks great. I WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THIS LITTLE HOUSE.
from long island, ny on 7/8/2008
this is a great playhouse. the kids love it, it is plenty big enough. they love the windows, doorbell, etc. we put those foam squares under for a floor and to reduce the bug population in there. it was a pain to put together, the holes dont quite match up. well worth it though to get one of this size, which i think is really the most important consideration. be sure to put it in the shade or you will have a cute little sauna. it was perfect for a shady are where only weeds are growing anyway.

from Illinois on 7/6/2008
My 3 kids love the playhouse 6,4 & 1. They all enjoy it and its tall enough for my 6 year old to play.
from San Diego, CA on 7/4/2008
My son, age 2 1/2, and his little friends love to play in this house. It seems to be very sturdy. It also looks nice and isn't garish, like some kid's products.
from Greensboro, NC on 7/4/2008
I have 2 year old twins and a three year old so I wanted the biggest playhouse I could find. All four of us fit in the playhouse with room to spare. I'm sure as they get older my kids will continue to have room in this house.
from rye brook, ny on 7/2/2008
my neighbor had this house, and my son was always running into their yard to play...we finally ordered his own and we absolutely love to watch him play in it!

from New York on 7/1/2008
My two year old daughter loves this house. So do I. I can stand in it and even put a back yard chair inside to sit with her and play. I think I like it more than her. Very easy to assemble. One part was missing, but customer service was great. They sent one right away, no questions asked. We will be playing with this for years.
from Huntsville, Alabama on 6/30/2008
The playhouse is wonderful, and it has provided a very special little girl with lots of fun and laughter. My niece has cancer, and the playhouse provides her with alot of fun while in the hospital. Now she has one at home to enjoy as well.
from Millville Minnesota on 6/30/2008
I love the durability and that it is a bigger than the usual playhouse so she will get to use it for a long time.
from Wilkesbarre, PA on 6/28/2008
Our children and the neighborhood kids all have a great time playing in this playhouse. One reason we bought it was due to the higher height inside compared to other playhouses, and we like the no maintenance plastic. Children enjoy the pretend play inside.
from Chicago, IL. on 6/27/2008
Perfect for a growing child.Large enough for multiple kids.
from Renton, WA on 6/26/2008
My grandaughter loves her new house and can't wait to go outside and play.
from North Carolina on 6/26/2008
This is a great product and well worth the monetary investment. My two girls, 1 & 3, can both play in the house and still have room. Although, the house did not have a floor, we placed it on top of a ground barrier cloth and spread mulch around the perimeter. This keeps the weeds out and helps for cleaning. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it!
from Sumter, SC on 6/26/2008
Needs to have 4 more rods for the walls to be put in the top of the walls. It would hold together a little bit tighter on the top.
from Rhode Island on 6/25/2008
Great house. Buy it!!
from st clair shores, mi on 6/25/2008
this house is great. my husband and i got a sitter so we could assemble it in peace...we were done in 1/2 an hour! it was a pleasant surprise! dont be intimidated by the size of the boxes it comes in. [...]
from Fairfax, VA on 6/24/2008
This is a great playhouse and my daughter loves it, especially ringing the doorbell! Putting the house together took a while and more than one person. The directions don't give as much detail as I would have liked. [...] the boxes are HUGE! Well made, and I'm sure it will provide hours and hours of play.
