Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Summertime Play Center:
Overall this seems like a good product even though I am a bit concerned about how durable the plastic will be with kids sitting on the sandbox edges. I really like the combo of the table & sandbox and the umbrella is a great idea. The colors are very pleasant & blend into the yard very well.
I am a bit perplexed by a two things though. First, the lid seems like an afterthought. It just seems to rest on top of the base & doesn't really fit the contours of the base. Secondly, there are 3 holes around the perimeter of the sandbox base that do not appear in the pictures. They do not appear to have any function & seem like they will just collect debris & harbor insects. I think we will need to add our own caps to these holes.
I'd see about other comparable options before recommending to anyone.

I was looking for something for my granddaughter that was child friendly. She is 18 months old and I wanted something she could play with now. She loves sitting in the sandbox (empty!)This is my second product from Step 2 and I am very pleased!!

I bought this several years ago and over time had losted the drain plug that goes inside. I called to order a new one and they sent it out to me that day with NO CHARGE! How cool is that for Customer Service?!

This is an awesome set! I purchased this when my daughter was one and a half...2 years ago. Ours is a slightly different color combo...the table part and umbrella are burgundy/red. It has held up beautifully and has been outside constantly, even in winter. There is no fading and nothing has cracked or been damaged! The bolts havn't even rusted! Four kids can sit at the table, and it rinses off easily after messy projects and lunches. We use the sandbox as a pool though...and it's awesome because of the drain and the hard plastic cover. Truthfully, I let it drain partially and then pick it up from the side and dump it...it's really easy to clean with Lysol and rinse in this position! We use a 20 ft long "Python" hose set (supposed to be for fish tanks)to fill the pool from the kitchen sink with hot water, so even if it was cooler out last summer it was like a hottub for my daughter! She frequently even took a bath for the night in it too! Can't say enough good things about this!

We love the Play Center Sandbox. The umbrella and bench/table combo is wonderful. My daughter (2 1/2 years old) loves to make sand castles along the table top and the umbrella makes the shade priceless. She loves to sweep off the table with a little outdoor brush that we purchased. Even after a thunderstorm, the cover has not blown off nor has water leaked into the sand. The umbella detaches easily when the wind picks up. The plastic is sturdy even when mom comes to play and the natural color does not clash in the backyard. I only used three 50 lb bags of sand so far which is plenty for a toddler. We are very happy with this purchase.
This is our third Step 2 purchase.

We've had this product for one year, and it looks as good and is just as entertaining now as it was then. There's plenty of room for 2 pre-school children to play in the sandbox. And when they get hungry and thirsty, I can put their snacks and drinks on the picnic table. My 5 year old still fits comfortably on the picnic bench, but it's still easy enough for my petite 3 year old to sit, too. I am so glad we have this!

This is a great play center we used it with sand but you could us it as a pool as there is a drain plug. The only thing I didnt like about this was that the lid was very thin and buckled alittle. They needed to make it thicker and stronger as my daughter wanted to sit on it but she couldn't

this is awsome, my toddler son loves it... I use it a pool, rather than sandbox and it would be just PERFECT if the hood/cover latched on!! Aside from it needing a latching lid, my toddler LOVES the table attached, and it perfect for cookouts and snacktime...
