put it in front of my little girls room she won't go into her room without going thru the door way plays with it every time she is at my house easy to move light weight
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We put it up at Christmas and my daughter would not stop playing with it for days!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this for our 15 month old daughter for Christmas, she LOVES it. We keep it in the doorway to her bedroom. Our 3 year old also enjoys this toy. Our daughters share a room and ring the little doorbell. They always go through the door. I think this is the cutest toy! We have a very small house and this is a great alternative to an actual play house that would take up too much space. I would reccomend to everyone!!!. The only draw back I found is that you cannot buy this toy in any store and you have to order online. [...]. Kind of pricey for such a toy. But overall we love it.
My girls Christmas morning with the playhouse
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was a Christmas present for my 18 month old grand daughter. She immediately started playing with it...loved the door bell and mail slot. Perfect size. It was very sturdy sitting by itself in our living room...worked great on her bedroom door which is where it pretty much stays.
Several other kids (a few years older) have joined her and all seemed to love it. I'm glad we purchased it now so that she will get years of enjoyment from it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with small kids.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product has been great for my 5 year old and my two year old. They love it. I like the fact that it can be used stand alone as well as in the doorway. Sometimes they take it on the porch and use it as a pretend playhouse. It is NOT flimsy, and hasn't ever fallen over so, that is a great plus!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 16 month twin girls absolutely love it! Together and installed in minutes and they played with it half the day. Would like to have a couple of interactive items like a porch light but not really needed. So easy to move. Now our under the stairs closet is their playhouse thanks to this door.

Great
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great Toy! Got it for my 3 year olds who got lots of play out of it! Great Quality, now 3 years old and still looks brand new. Love Step2 Products! My twin daughters loved knocking and ringing the doorbell for each other. They love pushing mail through the mail slot and think it's great that their's a "doggy door" for their small stuffed animals! Highly Recommend! Great Product!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I had the doorway playhouse shipped to my grand daughter for her 3rd birthday. [...] she couldnt wait to open the box and play with her playhouse. The best part was, it only took minute to assemble and install in the doorway of her room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son loves this toy
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We got this to block my Son's playroom off from our puppy. It works perfectly & he loves it! His playroom is right across the hall from his bedroom & whatever room he's in at the moment is where he wants it. It's very easy to move & we are so happy we got this.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this for two reasons. The first was to keep our cats out of our daughter's room, and it helps with that. The other reason was for play and our daughter loves it. We are going to purchase another one for our son's room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I use this wonderful doorway both in front of any room opening to make a neat house out of that room, plus free standing between two houses for my daycare children and finally with a second doorway in a corner to create a neat house all its own.!!!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We purchased this product as an alternative to using a standard doorway gate to keep our two English Bulldogs out of our daughters playroom. It easily allows her access to her playroom while keeping our dogs out. She really enjoys entering and exiting through her own little doorway. She also enjoys playing house and delivering mail. I was a little concerned that it might be too large or not fit our doorway correctly but the size is perfect (not too bulky) and it fit the doorway exactly! The colors are nice and it is very sturdy. This product is awesome! It meets our family's need to create a fun alternative to keeping our dogs out of a restricted area.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
MY 3 YEAR OLD GRANDSON LOVES IT. IT IS VERY EASY TO MOVE AND STANDS WELL ON ITS OWN. ITS GREAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR A BIG PLAYHOUSE. HE HAS SO MUCH FUN GOING IN AND OUT OF THE DOOR, RINGING THE DOORBELL, PRETENDING HE IS THE MAILMAN ETC...
THE PRICE WAS PERFECT TOO.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We are using the doorway playhouse on the door of our playroom. I have three children 5, 3 and 1. They love it and all play with it equally. My only complaint and it's not really even a complain is that I wish it would stay in the doorway a little better. The kids are able to move it a bit too freely.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Can be used in any doorway, hallway, or in the backyard free standing.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The kids love this. Especially the doorbell. The only problem I find is that it easily slides out away from the door. If it stayed secure to the door frame, it would be easier to play.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughters love this. It is great for the imagination-has a mail slot and real doorbell. Very simple to put together-took less than 10 minutes. Only down side is I thought it was a tad pricey-[...]
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son is 13 months old and loves his play door! It is very sturdy, and he can use it to push himself up to a standing position with no problem. He loves the little doorbell!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My granddaughter loves her new "house"!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Needs accessories, does not have mail. We use the mail from another product when we play with this. Works best when used for 1 1/2 - 3 year olds.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We love the doorway playhouse.
We solved the problem of it falling over and being unstable by velcroing it to the doorway.
Daddy and I can easily remove it to walk through when we don't feel like crawling through the door, and it no longer scoots out into the hall or tips when my two under two play "rough"!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Surprised my daughter for her 3rd bday. Perfect fit on her doorway. Her room is her club house now, she calls it. The 2 gates in front are great size that don't take up alot space in our small hallway, yet still holds up the house sturdy so won't tip over. Kids couldn't wait to use the doorbell. I wish there were door knobs on doors or handles on windows so easy to open and shut. I can probably add them on my own. Overall, this is a great product, well worth it. I would recommend it to others. Will last for long long time until my kids can't fit through the doorway anymore.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this while it was on sale to save for my infant, but my 8 year old has claimed it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for my in home daycare group. They are ages 2 years old to 6 years old and they enthusiastically use this toy daily. It has been a fantastic addition to my large collection of toys. The amount of pleasure it has already given to us makes it a wonderful find and one I whole heartily recommend.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is used in my home, where I run a small daycare with 4 children ages 3 and under. They love this toy! It allows them to use their imagination as they play "house", and even put "mail" in the mailbox. The only thing I do not like is that there is no door handle, and we have had some problems with them getting their hands caught in the door. Also, you have to use it in a doorway, otherwise, it is not steady enough to stand up to play! Other than that, it is a great toy!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My nephew loved using the doorbell and opening and closing the door. He really enjoys it and it keeps him busy. :)
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter was very excited to see this little playhouse arrive [...] She has a small bedroom and we don't have a lot of room for toys so this fit perfectly in her doorway and can be easily stored in a corner of her room. My six-year old son will even play with her with it. I only wish that it came with a few accessories like maybe some mail pieces to go with mailbox or something. Otherwise, it was just what we were looking for! And assembly was very easy - I put it together myself.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have 2 young boys. My 4 yr. old is autistic and this will be great to help teach him pretend play with his 1 yr. old brother!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
LOOKED FOR THIS TOY FOR MONTHS AND IT WAS WELL WORTH THE LOOK!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Just bought this toy from our [...], although i paid more than [$] for it i still think it was worth what i paid. my son gets tired of toys easily but he has been playing with this for hours. He loves it and although the doorbell is annoying at least I know he enjoys it. The only think i think would be great it if it had adjustable things to help it fit better in our doorway. It's just about 6 inches short on each side from our doorway and keeps moving out into the dining room floor. At least it was worth the [$]I paid for it. If anyone wants a playhouse for their kids but lacks indoor space than this is the thing to get them. We love Step2 products and will continue to purchase toys from them. Next stop, swing set. LOL

My two year old loves it. His calls his room his house. He says mommy, want to come play in "Tucker's" house.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 18-month-old son loves opening and closing doors and gates and pushing buttons, so he has fun playing with this doorway. The doorbell is realistic, just wish it were slightly louder. The mailbox is cute too. The peephole is nice too. Needs a window and wish there were more activities to play with, like a door-knocker, light, or buttons. It's light and not that stable (the footers should extend on both sides but only extend on one side but it's a good thing that the dutch door swings out when it opens to help stabilize it).
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I use it for a gate for my grandaughters bed room
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My two girls love this and enjoy it on their playroom door. Great product for the price.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is used in a daycare ages ranging from 1 to 4 and the kids just love it. It helps the kids use their imagination to create real situations such as making believe the pizza man is here or the mailman has delivered a package or even the avon lady has arrived.it is definitely an item I would recommend to othr parents.Reasonably priced .
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Love this!
I have a home childcare and 2 kiddos of my own. This has made everyone from my youngest 8 month old to my oldest 8 year old. It made a boring old storage closet into a cool indoor playhouse. Well worth the money. This will be one of our most frequently used toys for a long time to come!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for our 2 year old, but our 6 year old and 10 year old love it too!!!!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
my 3 year old grandson and my 2 year old granddaughter loved it. they also loved "shutting" the door to keep the dogs out, then opening the doors to let them in, only to start all over. i thoroughly enjoyed watching them play house.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My four year old son loves this "pretend" house. It takes up very little space and we can move it from room to room with ease. The features work great (doors, door bell, mail slot, peep hole) and it keeps him busy for an hour at a time. He has put it in every nook of our house! It allows him to have a playhouse indoors when he can't play in his big playhouse which is outside!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I really liked last year's brighter colors better, but am pleased overall. Our kids just love playing and I like how they are able to use their imagination during play
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Been looking for this toy forever and it was well worth the wait

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The best part about this product is that its an indoor playhouse! Great for winter time, and you don't have to worry about snakes or ants getting in.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
When my 2-year-old saw this Doorway Playhouse he was excited to see his new "barn" as he calls it. He loves it. I was uncertain about it at first, as when we measured to make sure it would fit we forgot to include the baseboard, and the playhouse will not fit in our doorways. However, it does great as a stand-alone, and we found a great place to put it. The doorbell is a favorite feature for my son, and I am delighted that it is not at all obnoxious in tone or volume.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter (17 months) loves this doorway playhouse. Her and two friends (3 & 4 year old boys)play with it and ring the door bell and she
pokes her head out and go hellwo. She has lots of fun pressing the door bell and going in and out of her doorway. it would be nice if there was a handle made in the top for one handed moving it out of the door way.

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This has so much potential! My daughter likes it but not as much as her Step2 kitchen and her clubhouse climber. We got it as a way to keep the dog out of her room while still allowing air to circulate (we don't have to keep the real door closed). The only con about it is that I wish the door opening was taller. She's not yet 3 and is small for her age yet she almost has to duck to go through.
It fits great in the doorway, good design, and stands up with no problems. Definitely not flimsy.
Great item though with very fast shipping from Step2!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product was bought for my 3yr. We live in apartments and are not allowed to have outdoor playhouses so this works great in the aptmt and gives her the oppurtunity to play house. I have asked my child care facility to purchase some for our center as well. I would recommend to every mom and teacher!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our two year old daughter received this as a gift. It fits a variety of doorways, is easily moved around and provides great imaginative play. Our six year old son has played with it with her, obviously ducking down to walk through but it hasn't slowed him down. The "doggie-door" is perfect for stuffed animals. It is sturdy, bright (but not too bright), well-made alternative to a playhouse.

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My husband and I bought this doorway for our daughter for Christmas. She loved it! It was the first present she opened and she didn't want to open any more after that. She plays with it everyday! She loves to play house, ring the doorbell, peek through the peekhole, and have us give her mail through the mailbox. It is great for pretend play! We couldn't be happier!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our apartment isn't big enough for a whole "playhouse" so making our daughters' own room into a playhouse is the perfect alternative. She loves the door bell and the windows. It truly makes her room hers.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
A cute toy. Both kids play with this (ages 2 and 4), but I would say that the younger one enjoys it more. They especially like sending things through the "mail slot". My only negative is that it gets in the way when parents are trying to go in and out of the room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I FILLED WITH SAND TO GIVE A LITTLE WEIGHT,I HAVE A ROUGH LIL BOY
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have 4 kids- 3 of which love this(my6 almost 7 yr.old is a little big for it)I purchased it for my youngest and the older 2 above her have a blast with it-the doorbell and peephole are awesome!!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this for our almost 3 year old daughter for Christmas knowing that she and our 6 year old son could play with it together. They seem to like it so far and have come up with several interesting ways to play with it. My daughter doesn't like to keep it in her door though so they just put it in the middle of the floor and it stays upright just fine even with rough play.
Love the doorbell!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
its a great toy and my son really does love it the only problem i have with it is that parents getting in and out of the room. but all you have to do it slide it to the side. but its worth your money.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The girls love this. It is used everyday with the play kitchen and the Playful picnic table.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We received this as a gift - it only fits into one doorway in our apartment, so we are limited as to where my son can play with it. If you are going to buy this make sure you have the measurements for where you want to put this. So far its okay - my son likes the doorbell and to go in and out. We havent had it for more than a week so Im not sure how long it will remain of interest to my 3 year old.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this for my 2 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves it! Our 5 yr old leaves mail for her in her mailbox. We ring her door bell & she answers the door like she has her ow little apartment.
We used a suspension rod & hung a curtain from the top of her door way to the top of the playhouse doorway so it feels a little more enclosed.
Its durable, but easy to move when its bedtime, etc.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter loves this playhouse. We don't have a lot of space in our house so this is perfect for us. The only con is that it doesn't fit snugly in the door but it seems to be sturdy enough for my daughter to play and not get hurt.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product is awesome. My 20 mth old loves it. I have no complaints against this product.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product is cute, but it needs to weigh more as it does not stay in place. We even tried putting sand in the bottom and it helped, but not completely. My son likes it, but it does not stay put in the doorway and he is constantly moving it and tripping over it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Product is just how it appears on website. [...] Ordering from the Step II website was not only easiest, but lowest priced as well. Overall, I'm very happy with the product and service. My children are 4 1/2 and 20 months and do play with it, however they have lost interest a little more quickly then I would have liked :) Not the products fault though.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is great, I have a 3 year old and a two year old. My 2 year old really loves this door. It great for keeping the dogs out of the play room too. The only con is that our doors are larger than your standard door frames so it sits just inside the door. We are still looking for ways to fix this problem. Other that the door size this is lots of fun for our girls. Oh one more thing it would be nice to have a way to open it up for adults to get through it too, instead of having to move the whole thing just to enter the play room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Comes fully assembled. Just put batteries in the doorbell and apply the stickers. My daughter loves this so much she wants to take it everywhere she goes. She loves that her room is also her playhouse now. Both my daughter (2) and my son (4) have hours of fun with this. It also helps with the young sibling squabbles as they both like to "visit" each other and "deliver the mail". The pet hole is MUCH smaller than anticipated though as I thought our Chihuahua may fit through it. However, at best a Guinea Pig may fit through it if it really tried. That is truly the only downfall to the product though and it really isn't one. This is overall a great toy!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I purchase this for my 2 grandchildren at the request of my daughter .She tells me the kids love it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We love the doorway playhouse. It is a great way to turn any play space into a play house complete with doorbell and peek-a-boo windows without taking up too much space. It works great in a doorway, freestanding or with a fort built around it. My youngest loves it when I ring the doorbell and surprise him with a stuffed animal friend when he opens the door. It also makes a great puppet theater. Great toy, great price. My only suggestion would be to design alternative styles, like the door to a fort, or space ship or castle -these would be great too!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter loves this house...she is only 19 months and rings the doorbell before entering. We use it on the doorway to her playroom. It is nice because it does not take up extra space.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 15 Month Old Grand Child LOVES IT, especially the Door Bell.... Her Parents put it in the Doorway to her bedroom & she Goes IN & Out, IN & OUT !!!!!!!!!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We leave this in the doorway to my daughter's room all day so she can use it. At night we just pull it out into the hallway, hardly takes up any room compared to traditional playhouses, and she loves it. Her brother and her play house across the hall and use it for their front door. She did tend to pinch her fingers trying to open the windows until she got the hang of pushing them instead of trying to pull them open. The doorbell is a great feature, and it's not too annoying like some we've had in the past.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter really enjoys playing in her room because she really likes going in and out of her house, and just loves ringing the door bell.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was a Christmas gift for my son and daughter. My husband thought that he would have to take some time and assemble it. But when we took it out it was pretty much put together! All he had to do was put the door bell and the part that makes it stand. Both of my children love it they like to ring the door bell and go in and out of it. My son loves to look through the peep hole to see who it is. My daughter loves going in and out of it. I am glad I got it because it is fun and not to big.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I got this for my daughter as a x-mas gift!! She loves it and I think it is adorable..I can also play with her as I crawl in and out her little door!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought the doorway playhouse for my 2 yr old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves it. We put it on the doorway to her playroom. It's like her own special area. I would reccomend this to anyone looking for something fun for their children
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great substitute for a playhouse for those of us without much room. My 2 year old loves to ring the doorbell and walk through the house door to her room. Her 4 year old brother enjoys playing with it as well. I wish Step 2 came out with this sooner! The only bad thing is you can't close the bedroom door with the house in the doorway.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son is 2 years old and he loves this product.
we have a very small house and this is great. We set it up in the doorway of his room. He loves to "invite people in" after we ring the doorbell. He checks us out in the peep hole.
Great for small houses
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It is used in our daughter's room which holds three girls. I wish it was a little taller but other than that it is great!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 18 mo. old daughter loves the doorbell. She also loves going in and out of the door saying "bye-bye" everytime!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 and 4 year old daughters love their doorway playhouse! It's very cute and stands up well. Doorbell and peephole work great. I would have liked to have some accessories like play mail or something with it, but I'm sure my kids will figure something out :)
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 yr old daughter Loves it. My 4 yr old son falls on the ground laughing as she pretends to be "the pizza man", " the "mailman" or whichever she decides to be at the time. Great for imagination... I wish it would have come with some mail or something for the mailbox, but I guess we have enough stuff around here we can use too!! Great purchase and got a great deal on it too!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Nice product. Kids loveit, but the doorbell does not work.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Bought it for my 1 year old, but my 4 year old loves to play with it too. The kids love the doorbell and opening and closing the door. Placed it in front of their playroom door and it just adds lots more fun for them. If space is an issue the doorway playhouse is a great alternative to a large playhouse.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great for our 2 year old, I like that is sets up in the doorway or can be free standing.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Each child received their doorway play house around the age of 18 months. My 4 year old still uses hers today. They love to be able to open and close the door, ring the doorbell and peak out the windows.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was such a treat for my granddaughter.
I don't have room for a large playhouse but this
fit the doorway and she was so happy. She just
loved the doorbell and mailbox.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I liked the fact that it doesn't have to be in the doorway, it will stand alone. My children love the doorbell (which is not too loud) and the mail slot.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this as a Christmas present for our 16 month old daughter. She loves it! She goes in and out, in and out ringing the bell each time. We used it in her doorway a few days and then took it to the basement and made it the entrance to her playroom. I would definitely recommend this product for children this age.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was opened at a large family Christmas and the kids ages 1-8 all played house for hours!!! They loved it. It is sturdy, easy to clean, great colors and tons of fun. Obviously a large item, so have to find room to store it when we aren't using it, but I knew that buying it. Love the item...wish I had one for each of my boys' rooms.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for my 2 year old for Christmas. Him & his 6 year old brother play with it every day. You can't go wrong with Step2. Great product
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our 15 month old grandson couldn't stop opening and closing the dutch doors. And the 1st thing he noticed was the doorbell (Avon calling!!) He enjoys using the mail slot and crawling thru the bottom door. Our 4 yr old grandson also likes the mail slot and the dutch doors, and we grandparents enjoy playing peek-a-boo thru the side windows! This toy is well made and easy to move and a must have for small children.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It is great for use in the doorway. It gives the kids a sense of territory and space by having this door since we do not allow them to play in the room with the regular door closed.
It also wors great as a stand alone prop for my daughter's storytelling, play, and re-enactments.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 18-month-old grandaughter knew exactly what do to when she came downstairs on Christmas morning and found the doorway playhouse. After checking out all the features - "I can do this!" - she started moving all her favorite toys into the space behind the house.
Since Christmas, the playhouse has worked well in several spots throughout the house, and I suspect it will be in use for a long time. I gave this same playhouse to my other grandaughter last Christmas. She is now almost 3, and is still enjoying having her own "house."
Thank you Step 2. Keep up your good work. Your products inspire a child's imagination.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
She loved turning her bedroom into an entire playhouse. We all have to ring the bell to announce our arrival!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this for our 3yr. old daughter. Her play room doesn't have a door to it because we didn't want her shutting and opening a door afraid of little fingers getting caught. However, this summer we got her a Chocolate Lab who loves to go see what she has left laying out to chew on. This door has been a life saver and our daughter loves it! I now have to ring the door bell and knock on the door and she welcomes me to "Her House". We also have one of the Step2 kitchens and the vanity in her play room, so she really does have her own house.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
the gap between the top and bottom door is to big,so the two doors will not click together to open or close as one.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 year old son absolutely loves it. We live in an apartment and it does not take up a lot of space. He loves ringing the doorbell and going in and out of the door.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great fun for our two year old. We put it near her bed to make an entrance to a new play area behind the bed. Only two negatives:the door to the mailbox was missing...still waiting of for a call back to replace; and the screws are very hard to start in the plastic.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this as a Xmas present for our boys that are 4 & 2. They woke up Xmas morning and had to walk through the doorway playhouse to get out of their room. Needless to say it took atleast a half hour to get them downstairs!! They loved it!!! Especially the doorbell!! The only downfall is the door isn't tall enough for our 4 yr old. He has to duck to get through.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
my children love to play with it. but it is a little top heavy so it falls over easily
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter says my granddaughters love this doorway. The only drawback is for the parents. Don't plan on entering through the doorway often or easily. This doorway was definitely meant for children. Despite the slight adult inconvenience - my daughter is delighted with how much joy my granddaughters are having with this doorway.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was a gift for my 16 month old, but my 5 year old is having just as much fun with it. It will be a toy that will be used for many years in this house!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I totally loved this product. My granddaughter is two years old and we played with this for hours the night it arrived. They live in my upstairs apt. and room is unfortunately an issue. This is amazing! The house takes up very little space at all and the minute it is placed at the doorway of a room, instantly transforms it into a magical "playhouse" My daughter in law now puts "mail" in the mailbox every day and my granddaughter entertains herself for hours in her new "home". Within minutes of setting it up, she had the upper door open, was leaning with crossed arms on the lower door asking "what you guys doing?" It does enough to keep a small child occupied but is simple enough to not overwhelm them and allows them to use their own creativity and imagination. I truly love this product! Great value!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It is easy to move around and the grandkids LOVE it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Color was different than what I had wanted but is still going to work out. The kids are having a great time playing with it
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Bought this for my 2 year old boy for Christmas. He's had a total blast playing house. We put it in his doorway, ring the bell, and he comes out and invites us in - too cute! We've moved it to other areas of the house to create fun spaces. It fits in any regular sized doorway perfectly and doesn't take up any space like a full playhouse. A little tipsy at times, but overall a great toy! Highly recommend.

This is such a cute toy and helps to keep the dogs out of her room!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I purchased this for my 3.5 year old. It was easy to assemble and super cute. I only wish that the doorway was a little taller.
Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and feel that it was well worth the money.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son just got this playhouse for Christmas and it is a huge hit! His favorite parts are the working doorbell and the peephole! We set it up this morning in less than 2 minutes, and all 3 of my kids spent the bulk of their morning playing with it. I expect this toy to be used daily in my home!

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for my youngest child's first birthday, and he loves it. He rings the doorbell and answers the door. And his 2 1/2 year old brother enjoys it too. I got the doorway playhouse because our space is limited, and it transformed our hallway into more playing space! I definitely recommend it.

The doorway playhouse is an awesome way to turn a play room in to a play house!!! My grandchildren love it. They especially like the mailbox and door bell...thank you so much
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our little boy loves it. He plays with it everyday, we got this for him after we noticed he loves opening and closing doors. Very easy to assemble. You will love it too.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I use this in my learning center as a doorway for the children's imagination into the play areas of the center. My grandson loves the door bell! He can't reach the doorbell at his house but this is just his size.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
my kids think this is AWESOME! and Its just the right size
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Giving this for my 2 year old grandson for Christmas. He will love it as it makes his room a playhouse. His parents have a small home so this is the perfect way to give him a "playhouse" without taking up space!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for my one year old grandson. But I think the older grandson likes it even better. They are having a ball with it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter loves to play with this doorway. Also keeps the dog out and away from her toys, while I am able to keep an eye on her without the door closed.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We do not have the room for a full size playhouse and this was the perfect solution. My 2 year old son loves it. It fit perfectly in the doorway to his room and also on his closet. It is by far the best investment made out of all the toys he has to play with.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 year old daughter loves her door! The only thing is that I wish that step 2 made more of a selection of doors like a castle, club house, something along thoes lines. But I do like the door I have for my daughter, I have an infant son whom I would like a door for as well, just maybe moer boyish. I also use the door to keep my cat out of her room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My child is a little younger than the recommended age, but she has thoroughly enjoyed it. She's only a year old, but she loves to open the door and ring the door bell. We love it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My two kids (2 and 4) love this toy! My son loves the shelves on the inside of the house for keeping his treasures. My daughter loves the working doorbell.
The only con is that it is a little tippy - not too bad, but a little, so his treasures fall off the shelves if the door tips. However, it does not fall over.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have wanted this doorway playhouse for over a year, and finally decided to get it for my daughters, ages 3 years, and 21 months.
I wish I would have bought it sooner!
My daughters LOVE this and play with it all the time!
It fits in their bedroom doorway perfectly, but we decided to use it in their closet so they could have a little "house in their closet. We just took their closet door off and put the playhouse there. Their closet doorway is a little bigger than the bedroom doorway, so the playhouse isn't snug up against the door frame, but it's not a problem at all, and the playhouse is free standing anyway, so it really doesnt need the doorway to be used.
My girls love to go in and out the door, and they love the doorbell! They haven't used the pet door or the mailbox yet, but they have just started to get into pretend play and I'm sure they will figure those out soon.
I love the tan color! It looks a lot nicer next to their step 2 custom kitchen that is also tan.
I wish it was just a little taller, as my 3 year old is at the top of the door now and she sometimes has to bend a little to go in.
It doesnt bother her at all though, and I even love to play with it with them and I can't even fit at all, so I dont think the size is necessarily a bad thing.
It would be cool if there was a phone added to the inside too. We have a step 2 phone with our kitchen, so we don't really need one on the playhouse, but some people who buy this might not have a kitchen with a phone like we do.
The set up was an absolute breeze too! Ready to play with in 5 minutes!
I would definetly recomend this toy to anyone!

My son loves ringing the doorbell and getting mail in his mailbox. The door is easy for him to use. We are currently using it free standing in our living room and he loves it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My almost 2 yr old son and his friends love ringing the door bell (the best feature) and opening/closing the door. Moving forward, I can see my son using this for a long while, which makes it a great value toy.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I am a licensed child care provider with 6 full time children, ages 8 months to 4 years. All of them love it. We use it in a doorway or free standing. Initiates many hours of imaginative play.

Our kids love this doorway playhouse. They play with it daily. We would have liked the playhouse to come with mail to use in the mailbox, but other than that it is a great product!

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this product for my son for his 2nd birthday and it was well worth the money. The same product was being sold by 2 other retailers, but it would have cost us close to [$]from either of those places; so we were really happy to have found it at Step 2 it for [$], [...] This is a very cool toy. My 6 month old son plays right alongside his big brother too!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Dispite the doorbell not working my kids LOVE it!!! My son (5) plays with his sister (15 mo) with it all the time. He plays house with her, decorates it as if it was Christmas, and plays peek a boo...

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We got this for our two girls and set it up in the doorway to the room they use as a play room. They have great fun ringing the doorbell and answering the door, delivering and getting their play mail, and sending their stuffed animals through the doggy door. Set-up was fast and easy! We've actually used it in several different doorways, at the opening to a big box, and even free-standing, with no problems. We can highly recommend this and are very glad that we decided to get it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son and his friends love opening and closing the windows and doors and ringing the working doorbell. It's great for our small apartment because we don't have room for an entire playhouse.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
this toy looks great, doesn't take up spaces, has 2 faces of fun so allows my 6m to sit at one side and my toddler at the other side. wish it comes with more accessories though.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have 2 Grandchildren (3 years and 1 year). They both love the Doorway Playhouse. The 3 year old can keep the 1 year old out of her room and the 1 year old loves the mail slot.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is great because my one year old loves to open and close the door.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This playhouse is very easy to use. Just set it in the doorway to your child's room. Our four-year-old daughter loves the "privacy" it provides, and we love the fact that it is lightweight enough to move out of the way whenever we need to go in her room. Also, the split door is wide enough to let her favorite friends in - our big Labrador retrievers. It's portable, so we plan on taking it to granny's house on our next visit. Great product!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
There's nothing that I can say that's NOT so great about this product. We also utilize it for Puppet Theatre...the kids LOVE it! :)
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
A great toy the kids won't outgrow for a long time, and they love it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Does not always stay put in the doorway, but my daughter just pulls or pushes it right back where it needs to be. My daughter loves it, especially the doorbell!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I saw this in Parents magazine (or something like that) and thought it would be great for my daughter to play with when her cousins are over. She JUST turned 2 yrs. So far she doesn't play with others with it very much, but still plays with it a lot- with her imagination or the dog. It's really fun and fits perfectly in our doorways inside the house. On nice days we put it in the back door to play with going in and out of the house. She loves the doorbell and passing things through the mailbox (to herself). HIGHLY recommend.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This doorway playhouse is great for people who live in smaller places and can't have a playhouse. We have it in the doorway of our playroom and the kids love going in and out the doors, looking through the windows, and pretending to deliver mail and packages to each other. I wish it came with a little more action to it, though. I'd like to see more sounds added to it other than just the doorbell.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Purchased for my granddaughter, she LOVES it. Easy to move, perfect size, absolutely delighted with purchase.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We purchased this door for our two year old a few weeks ago. So far it is a tremendous hit with the kids! It seems to be very sturdy - our 5 year old climbs all over it without damaging it or tipping it over. There are lots of fun details like windows, a mailbox and a working door bell. It's important to note that the door bell is loud enough for the kids to hear, but is not so loud that it disrupts the whole house. The door is easily moveable so we can leave it in the kids doorway and simply slide it out of the way so we don't have to crawl through. Overall this is a wonderful product and stimulates the imagination.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our twin boys love it. They have this item for about 7 months. We use it as a "door" to their playarea. They only downfall is we do not see them using it much longer should be a little cheaper.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My children ages 1 year and to 5 years love this product. The doorbell really works. I love that it is reasonable for in the house instead of a big full sized playhouse. And it doesn't take much space for storage.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This has been a great addition for the grandchildren's "playroom". They love it and it's the perfect entrance to any childs room.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This toy is great. It does not take up much space and my 6 year old son loves to play with his 2 year old sister with it. They play for hours. Its really cute when she gets sent to her room and she slams her door shut thinking you can't see her. Then she peeks out her windows just to make sure.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Terrific product - stimulated individual and group play. My granddaughter loved it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This toy looks much more attractive and fun than it really is. My daughter is 21 months old and I thought she would like it more than she does. She only wants to play with it if I interact with her or if some of her friends come over and play with her. Otherwise, she will not imaginative play with it by herself. I do not think she has quit reached that development stage yet. She would prefer playing with it if someone else is playing with her also.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son loves opening and shutting doors, so he loves the dutch door. I like how it easily fits into doorways and was easy to assemble. The shutters are kind of hard to close once you push them out and the mailbox is on the small side, but the mouse hole is really cute.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I bought this for my daughter's second birthday. I considered the playhouses, but as quickly as they grow, this product is ideal. Now she loves playing in her room and keeps her toys in her room. Takes up minimal space and moves easily. She doesn't walk by it without ringing the doorbell. Definately a great investment. (even my 11 year old son plays with it.)
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product was great for our 1 yr old son who loved to open & close things repeatedly. Unfortunately, it did NOT fit our doorways so I had to attach it to something else.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was a great purchase, we use it as the doorway to our son's playroom and he loves it. Also, it is very convenient for us because it is not 'installed' in the doorway, it stands freely on its own feet and can be quickly moved aside when we need to get in there, and then pulled back into place with NO struggle or fuss. His friends love it on play dates as well.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great toy in my family daycare business. Was well worth the money!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is a great product
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product is great for my 11 month old. She plays with it all the time. Make sure that your doorway isn't to wide though. We made our foyer into a small play area and it's almost to small for it.

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We use this playhouse door everyday. My daughter is 2 1/2 yrs. old and she loves it. She rings the doorbell, knocks and asks who's there. When I have play dates with her friends they are all using there imaginations and improving their social skills. I highly recommend this product. It has made a huge difference in our household.

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Please review the design of the door braces. The door tips over if pushed to hard. A different design may work better...
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 17 month old son really enjoys this. It turns his room into a playhouse. He loves the Step 2 cottage at his daycare, so I thought this would be great for home. He has a great time with it.

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I use the Doorway Playhouse for my daughter's room. I needed something that would be easy for her to use (she is a year and a half)and keep the dog out. This works great! Her room is a high traffic area and now I do not have to worry about a gate popping out all the time. It is very easy to move when my husband and I need to get into her room. I would recommend this product!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have three children (ages 2, 3, and 10) and they all play with this toy on a daily basis. They love to ring the doorbell and look through the peephole. When friends come over, they immediately go for this toy. The only thing I would change about this is to add a phone to the inside. My 2 year old daughter is always asking where the phone is; every house has a phone! The addition of a phone would make this toy perfect.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I was not very confident when I ordered this from my wife's list for my 2 YO daughter's birthday gift. It is easy to put together. It was a big surprise for both of my daughters (2 and 6). They are spending quite a bit of time playing together with this Step 2 product. Now we are planning for Step 2's kids outside products.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We live in a condo and have a limited amount of space to devote to large toys; this one provides all of the imaginative play of a larger playhouse while requiring very little space, and we can easily move it. Our son absolutely loves it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great product
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this but my 3 yr. old neice is coming to town for a week and thought she and my 2 yr. old daughter would have fun with it. So far Suzie really enjoys it. We play house, she plays with it with the dog and it keeps her occupied for a long, long time while I'm working in my home office. Highly recommend.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is a cute door! We use it as an entrance to my daughter's playroom. We originally bought it to keep our eight month old son out, but it didn't take him long to figure it out. It doesn't keep him out, but it's working wonderfully with our Boxer puppy. Now she can't eat the toys!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 3 year old daughter loves her doorway... she spent an hour walking in and out of it when she first got it... the top of the door stands away from her door frame a little and i have a 8 month old son that pulls himself up on things and the door has a tendency to fall over on top of him.. It is an easy fix. we secured the top of the door with a couple bungies for now... All in all a good product tho.. Tons of fun for all ages!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We use this as a gate to my son's room...it helps keep the dogs out!

Just great for imagination,,,no batteries
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter loves it, she plays with it all day. She will be 2 in March 26th. The only thing I wish I could attach it to the door. It is really sturdy, however she is a climber and tries to climb over the bottom part of the door. She had not knocked it over yet, but I watch her. She does love the door though it makes it her own. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for a great product.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have a home day care with children from infant to 4 year olds and even after school care children. They love it. It's big enough for more than one. Adds to imagination play. It does not have to be in a doorway to be used. Works as a small animal gate too! I looked at it at other sites and they wanted more for the shipping than the item itself. I was very happy to find it on step2's website with [...].Very easy and quick to put together.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Great toy, my daughter loves this. Allows me to keep on eye on her but lets her feel like her door is shut.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We use this product all the time in our house, and my daughter loves it. Very good for imaginative play, works well in a doorway with carpet. Not as well with wood, as it can slide a little bit if pulled on. It could use a little more support, does not work so well freestanding and will tip easily if not in a doorway.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I purchased this fun doorway playhouse for my daughter's 2nd birthday. I'd read numerous reviews for this item and I have to say that once I received the item, I can sing the songs of praises that every other parent did on their review. This playhouse is very durable (does not tip over easily) and my daughters, ages 2 and 3 have had hours and hours of fun with it...and it's not even a week old! The doors/windows are very easy to open and the doorbell is a huge hit...and it's very soft and does not get very annoying! The mail slot is a huge hit, as are the shelves on both sides of the door on the inside. My two year old walks thru the door no problem, while my three old has to duck a bit to pass thru, but she thinks it's pretty cool to have to duck...all part of imaginative play. I highly, highly recommend this item to everyone!!

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 18 month old loves this doorway playhouse. It's the only way you can enter his playroom :). The only issue i had was with wood floors it tends to slide. I fixed this immediately when i purchased a pack of rubber circles from the hardware store. [$] and it does not move. Awesome product!!!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have two boys - 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 yrs old. They both love it! My older son has to duck to get in but he doesn't mind a bit. In fact, I think for him it adds to the playhouse effect. It's their special spot at my parents' house.
Interestingly it does NOT fit in any of the doorways on their main floor. Perhaps it's designed for a bedroom width door frame? Who knows. But, we just put it across a corner in one room and use the space behind for the inside of the house and obviously the outside with doorbell and mailbox on the front.
They love it and play for 30 min or more at a time.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have a 2 1/2 year old son and a 10 month old daughter. He loves to pretend this is his little house and uses all the features. My daughter loves all the windows and the door to play peek-a-boo. This is a great toy that allows us to play together as a family - even with the range of ages between my little ones.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
WE BROUGHT THIS FOR MY 1 YEAR OLD TO PUT IN HER DOOR WAY TO HELP KEEP HER PUPPY OUT WHILE SHE IS PLAYING SO THAT THE PUPPY DOESN'T CHEW EVERYTHING UP. THIS REALLY WORKS. SHE REALLY IS ENJOYING THE DOORWAY PLAY HOUSE. SHE LIKES RING THE DOOR BELL AND LIKES FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND KNOCK ON HER DOOR. THIS IS REALLY A GREAT TOY TO GET. IT ALSO KEEPS HER BUSY. IF YOU HAVE FLOOR FOR THIS TO SLIDE ON JUST PLACE A LINER LIKE FOR CABENTS UNDER THE FREE STANDING LEGS THIS WILL HELP FROM SLIDING. YOU GUYS THIS A REALLY GREAT TOY.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 3 and 1 1/2 year old play together with this and have a good time. We found a space between a bed and a wall to put it in that gives them a little "playhouse" behind it, without having to clog up a doorway. It is easy to move around. They love the mail slot, the doorbell and the peephole. The door is not that high, so if they are much older than 3 this is too small. The dog door is impossibly small - we can't even fit a small stuffed dog through it - maybe a beanie baby type dog would fit. All in all a good toy that encourages imaginative play.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Once this Christmas gift was opened, my 13-month-old son Nicholas ignored absolutely everything else he had received. He played with it for over an hour, walking back and forth through the door, ringing the doorbell. He even gave it a hug and a kiss, which is a first for him with an inanimate, plastic object. His interest in it remains just as high as the day he received it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It is great as long as the child stays on one side, but it tips too easily the other way. If doorway is too wide, it tips in both directions. Wish it had a study base so as not to tip. Otherwise, it is very imaginative and lots of fun!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter has been playing with this nonstop since Santa brought in on Christmas. She just turned 3, and wants to shut the door to her room to play. This product allows her to feel like she has privacy, and still allows me to keep an eye on what she is doing. She loves to pretend that she has gotten mail, or is having visitors. Also keeps the dog out of her room, keeps him from waking her up when she's napping, or getting into her toys.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son just loves this doorway. we move it to different doorways in the house and it just has created a whole new look on his play areas!!! he absolutely loves it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We use the door for the entrance to my sons play room, wich make the play room feel like a house.My son loves the doorbell and answering it.My son loves opening and closing doors, so this is the perfect toy for him and for us because we don't have to help. The mailbox and pet door make it even more fun. I thought the selves on the inside was a nice touch and the color make it good for a girl or boy. I have not fond anything I don't like about this toy and I'm glad that I bought it. The one thing I liked the most was how fast it got here. Thank you Step2 for make my life easier..Angela

Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our 11 month old grandson loves standing in the doorway and having us "peek" at him when he opens the door. The doorbell is soft enough to be heard and not loud enough to be annoying. I am thinking of buying one for the pre-school that I run.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I use this as a divider between daycare rooms to keep them broken up a bit and It works great! The kids absolutly love it! Only con is that it tends to tip over when the kids try to go through it fast, other than that it is wonderful!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
we really liked it.the kids were excited they love it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Fits in the doorway very well, not tooooo heavy, durable, my 3 & a half year old LOVES the working doorbell, and the doorbell sound is nice not over bearing like some other noise toys 8 )
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is great if you are short on space but want a playhouse for your kids. It took only 5 minutes to put together. Super easy to clean. I have twin 20 month olds & they absolutely loved it from the day I put it together. I like that you can put it in any doorway of your house & it even works just as well free-standing. However, you have to have it on carpet otherwise it'll easily topple down. Other than that my twins think its great as do I.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The only thing that I do not like as much about it is that it could be a little bit taller for the older that want to play with it or if mom wants to join in the fun and play too. Otherwise I think that it is a wonderful toy for the children and they love it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My children love the doorway playhouse, especially ringing the doorbell to get in. We have set up store items on the shelves and my kids pretend to shop. They also like getting mail through the mail slot. On the negative side, we had to place a bathroom rug underneath it to prevent it from slipping on the tile floor, and I have to move it out away from the door when I go into the playroom to put things away, which seems often. Taller children would have to bend down to get through. My 4 year old daughter is shorter than most 4 year olds and she just makes it through. However, I still think it's cute and encourages imaginative play.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Very easy to assemble and dissassemble[...]; can easily move against wall to get out of way; only 3 decals to apply; doorbell not too loud/annoying but very sensitive - my daughter is constantly bumping into it as she goes through the doorway and ringing it; doorway could be taller - my child is ~34"tall/19 months old and has to duck a little to get through; otherwise she loves this house - have been using it only freestanding too as didn't fit in any of our doorways well - but stable enough to do so, as long as she doesn't try to push on a door the wrong way - then it will knock over. As I am always with her, this is not a big problem. Would give it 4.9 stars really - not 5 b/c of doorway height and inability to adjust to most doorways and damage upon arrival - really all minor problems.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
bought this for my 1 yr old for Christmas. It has turned her room into a little play house and she loves ringing the doorbell every time she enters her room. Her older siblings also like to use it as they play house. Very durable and well worth the money.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 1 1/2 year old received this for Christmas and loved it. We had looked at much more costly playhouses and were thrilled to find this cheaper and smaller design. Her favorite part about the bigger playhouses was the dutch door, so this toy fit the bill. After getting a rain check at a national toy store and being given the run-around for weeks. [...] We will only shop directly with Step2 from now on. This product is pure genius!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Grandson was able to have a playhouse indoors that doesn't take up any room!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Put on Granddaughter's playroom - She seemed delighted that it gave her privacy yet she wanted people to come into her own area.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is a great product, wonderful for indoor use! It doesn't take up a lot of space, and is easily moved. My 18 month old daughter loves it. She has a large walk in clost in her room and I put it in the doorway and the closet is her "house". The only negative thing about it is that I thousht it would fit more securely in the doorway.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I love this because with my young nephew 18mths will play peekaboo with his sister 8mths. The children I Nanny for 4 yrs. old and 21mths old love playing house with it.

Good old fashioned fun.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My girls (21months) love playing with the doorway. They will take turns ringing the doorbell as the other one looks through the window to see who it is.
my cons: the doors don't have handles so when the girls are both closing the doors their fingers get pinched between them. Also the doorway doesn't stay in the door frame (we have carpet).
Overall, its a great toy and I would buy it again.

We purchased this for our children for Christmas. When our daughter saw it she was so excited! Her eyes lit up! It is placed at their bedroom door and they love to go through it every day. Our 2 ½ year old loves to ring the door bell and pretend that she has friends coming over to play. I cannot think of a better toy to inspire creative roll play. I am going to purchase one for my toddler Sunday School class, too. Thanks Step2 for a great product.

My 3 yr old daughter got this for Xmas and totally loves it. No one is allowed in her play room unless they ring the doorbell first. She plays all day with it and pretends that her playroom is her "house". It also works great and keeping the dogs out and is very easy to move so I can clean and put away toys. It is so worth the money and I would recommend it to everyone.

My 20 month daughter plays with this everyday. She loves to ring the doorbell which is a very nice sound and not too loud. We have used it in doorways and also freestanding. She enjoys both.

This door provides hours of entertainment as long as you start the imagination. I have a two year old who loves the doorbell and the mailbox.

We just moved into a house with a small familyroom, but a good size stage closet tucked under the stairs. We took the door of the closet and used the doorway play house to turn it into the kids hide away. they love it! Kids girl boy 3 year old twins and 19 mo old girl.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is perfect for my son to learn the functions of open and close, how to check to see who is at the door before opening, how to check the mail, how to look out the window, as well as many other things. He really enjoys the live door bell too!

We got this for our 3yr old & 1yr old boys for Christmas. We already had them to much when a playhouse was ask for. I got on line and found this doorway playhouse. It is great, the best of both worlds, the boys got the playhouse they wanted and we didnt have to spend alot of money. The only drawback I have seen is it standing alone. We have it in a doorway so not a big deal for us. But if you are getting it to stand on its on it is a little light weight and could fall over. The two yellow legs you see in the picture are only on one side of the toy and are the only braces to keep it from going over. It also will slide on slick floors. So if its not on carper it will slide. All and all my boys love it and I would never take it back.

My daughter loves her doorway playhouse. It makes her think that her room is her own little house. It is great for those times that mom needs to clean house or do some kind of work in the house. My daughter plays in her room long enough for me to get those things done.

Our twin girls (18 Months old) have a blast with this! They love playing peek-a-boo and even share it with their older brother (4 years old).

The product was purchased for my 16 month old daughter for Christmas. She loves this door. At first it was free standing in our living room. We had no problems with tipping and we have carpet. I have moved it to her bedroom doorway. It fits great and is easily removed and set aside. I love this product. My older children play with it too. They love to ring the door bell and ask my little girl if anyone is home. She giggles and giggles. I would buy this product again in a heart beat. My husband agrees too. It was the easiest and least time consuming present he assembled this holiday season.

What a wonderful product.
My daughter is 2 and loves the play house doorway.
It is set up as an entrance way to the playroom and the kids are having a wonderful time using their immagination with their new entrance way.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Bought this for my son and he absolutely loves it. He really enjoys the working doorbell and closing the door behind him as he walks through the doorway.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Bought this for my 16 month old. He's not feeling well so not playing with anything much that he got for gifts. He seems to like it most when his 8 year old sister plays with it with him. She has been playing with it to make club houses.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Both my 3 and 1 year old loved this gift. I would recommend it to everyone. My one year old liked opening and shuting everything. My 3 year old loved playing pretend with it. I am sure we will get alot of use out of it!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This was a great buy for our 4 year old daughter. Her face lit up immediately when she saw it on Christmas morning. We placed in it front of a window dormer alcove (perfect fit) where we have her Step2 kitchen and it makes a perfect playhouse. Only regret we didn't buy it for her when she was a little younger so she could enjoy it longer! By the way, placemats make a great welcome mat for the playhouse door!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 year old son loved this toy. He rang the doorbell and kept opening and closing the door. He wanted the entire family to play with him. Then he drove his Step2 motorcycle through the front door and attempted to do the same with the Step 2 fire engine for two.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We like the door, but if your door frame is too big the door tips over very easy. There needs to be something to secure it in the door frame.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Santa got this for our 18 month old son but all three of our boys (6, 4 & 18 mo) love it. They have been playing house all day. The older two love the doggie door and windows and the baby loves the door bell. Great purchase[...].
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2yr old LOVES it!! She played with it all night long. It's very sturdy; even on carpet it was stable. I was very impressed with the quality of this item & would buy one for anyone with a child if I could. Her sister is 9 & she also enjoyed playing with it. It had plenty of room for her to go in & out of the door also.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Kids love to open and close the door and use the mailbox. It won't fall down on them.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Currently, my 18-mo. old granddaughter has a fixation with doors and I am so afraid that she'll slam her fingers in a real door. But, with the doorway playhouse, I don't have to worry about that and she still can "come and go" as she pleases.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Nice childs toy
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
We bought this doorway for my one-year old daughter who hides in the doorway to hide from our older son. He rings the doorbell and really loves the house more than her. They love pretending playing house and going in and out of the door. The doorway is always up and doesn't take up that much room.

The kids use it in the doorway to the toyroom and also out in the main room as a door to many different areas. It works great with the Little Tikes kitchen set and the kids love all the features with it. (Thanks for making the doorbell a soft tone for adults in the room!)
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Bought this for my 3 year old grandson and he loves it. Wanted something we could use inside for the winter and outside in warm weather. Very easy to move where we want it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 15 month grandson and his 14 month cousin have been playing with this nonstop. We call it the "Magic" Doorway. Even all the adults in the family wanted to play. The only suggestion I would have is providing optional rear anti tippers in case we want to play with it away from a door jamb. I would then get one for my school physical therapy room too.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Use to keep pets out of hallway to kids bedrooms.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My son is 20 months and plays with this each day all day! He loves going in and out of the playroom through the doorway and of course ringing the "real" doorbell!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter is 1 and absolutely loves going in and out of the door and ringing the doorbell. I just wish it was offered in different more girly colors.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My granddaughter really enjoys this new doorway to her bedroom! It's like a new playhouse!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
A really cute playhouse to use in a small area.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My daughter loves her new 'door'. She's 22 months and thinks it's the greatest thing, especially the doorbell! I love how you get the playhouse effect without using up a lot of space, and it packs up easily enough to take to other houses. The only negative is that it tips forward fairly easily; we placed newspapers under the front supports to lessen it's tippiness.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Our two girls just love the doorway. The room is now their playhouse. thanks
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This item is great in a doorway into a playroom.
When my kids are playing in the playroom my 2 big dogs always want to be in there with them and they get in the way of my 3 year old twins playing and they are always asking me to get the dogs out. So I would put a gate up to keep the dogs out but then my kids couldn't get in and out so it was such a hassle to keep taking the gate down everytime they wanted to play or when one had to get out to go to the bathroom or just wanted to get out. So now this door lets the kids in and out and its fun for them to play with and when they shut the doors this unit keeps the dogs out too. So its a great idea!! My kids can go in and out of the playroom when ever they want and they can also shut the dogs out to!. We did have a problem with the unit slipping at first on our tile and hard wood floor but I got a strip of thin rubber slip guard at the home depot and attached it to the bottom of the unit and now it works perfectly! Also my twins learned quickly to keep their little fingers away from the opening when the other was opening and shutting the door. They did get their little fingers stuck but you have that problem with any door and they did catch on quite quickly not to put their fingers there. But anyone with dogs out there that chew toys or are just into everthing when kids are trying to play, will love this item. I can not stress enough how nice it is when the kids can let them selves in and out of the playroom and I can keep the dogs out! GREAT INVENTION!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This product is awesome! I was so excited to get it... it looks great in my house and the kids also love it. Lots of different imaginative play with it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is such a GREAT idea!! My daughter loves this. My only issue with it (and it is not a big one at all) is that I need to move it every time I go in and out of her room but it is worth it to see the excitement in my daughter's eyes as she plays with it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The doorway playhouse is awesome!! It sits well on top of carpet in a doorway and easily moves for when moms need to get into bedrooms. Everyone who comes over to the house for visits will love it too and it's cute design. My daughter was 19 months old when I bought it and she is a few weeks away from being 2 and still loves it. Doorbell chime is music to parents ears and is not loud and obnoxious. I see at [...] they now carry one with colors that match parents decor if you do not care for the primary color line.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
They love it. The doorbell is not too loud so it doesn't drive you crazy when they ring it all day long. Their really enjoying greeting each other at the door and it is cute to hear them being so polite and letting people in to play. It is a great additon to the playroom.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Perfect! My one year old loves this! She and her 18 month old cousin, 3 year old cousin, and 2 teenagers played for hours going in and out and answering the door for each other. Looks great at the entrance to her playroom.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
This is a great alternative to the large playhouses. We live in an apartment and this
makes my grandson's room into his own little hideaway. He loves the versatility of the dutch door. I think an outside light would make it even better.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
My 2 1/2 year old son loves this the working doorbell is the biggest hit!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
The doorway playhouse was a great compliment to my daycare room. The room is to small for a full playhouse, so this was just perfect. The kids love it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I love this product. My daughter is 21 months old and love it.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Just terrible. I have twin 20 month old boys. First of all, it slides away from the doorway every time they try to open the door. We mostly have hardwood floors and it will not stay in place. We moved it to a doorway with an area rug and it still slides away. There in no weight to it and no way to secure it to one spot. BUT even worse, the dutch doors connect together tightly, but come apart easily. In the few days we've had this, my boys have caught their fingers in it several times each. After that happening a few times, they are reluctant to even go near the door.

I am a Mom always looking for ways to entertain and educate my three toddlers. Also for ways to make my life a little easier. This did all of that. It keeps my kids attention, and with all of its cute little features they feel like their playroom is their own house. Also with its convenience to me it keeps the dog out and the toys in. Plus the hight is enough that I can see right over the top. I absolutely love this!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It is nice but it didn't work where i wanted it to go. you need to have a door frame on the doorway or it doesn't fit right and it doesn't say that
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
In the 80's my mother bought a similar play door for her first grandchild. It's a very rare toy but I continued to hope to find it for my two girls. Then I visited Step 2 website to see their version of the door playhouse. I immediately bought the item for my girls and they LOVE it. It fits right between the door frame and it's like having a minature door for them to use and play with. The dutch door is wonderful as sometimes my daughter doesn't want her dog in her room and this pretty much keeps her out. Thank you Step 2 for bringing back some good memories and creating such great products!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I thought the idea was new and different and was such a great alternative to buying a large enclosed playhouse (and less expensive). My 5 year old daughter loves this, it is permanently set up in front of her bedroom doorway so her room is now her 'house'. It took 5-10 minutes to assemble and is very lightweight - we brought this to a relative's house recently. It's a slim item and seems easy to store, although we haven't tried to put it away yet. We are very pleased and I would recommend to anyone who might be hesitant.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
Set up was only like 2 minutes!!! Kids love this toy!!! I wish it came in earthy colors though so it matched our decor better though. But overall it was yet another genious idea by Step 2!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
I have a daycare and the product cannot be beat!!
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
All my grand kids (ages 3-10) love playing with the Doorway Playhouse. It was very easy to assemble and since it is free standing, it doesn't have to be used just in a doorway. It can be used anywhere.
Comments about Step2 Doorway Playhouse:
It's amazing how something so simple can make such a big difference. Unlike many bulky toys, this product stores easily and still leaves pleny of imaginitve play for the kids.
