Reviews
Don’t waste your money.
"Terrible lid design, no handles to put it on and off and after rain storm sandbox was full of water, no drain holes in bottom to let water escape. Rain rolls off lid right into sandbox. Had to scoop all sand out and start all over."
“Sandbox” is used as safe pool for dogs
"I purchased this “sandbox” to use as a pool for my dogs and they love it - and I do, too! No worries about their nails tearing the the bottom, and the best part is I can cover it when pool time is over."
Very sturdy sandbox
"We've had our sandbox for 15 years and it's still going strong. The lid sometimes blows off during severe storms with high winds. Replace the lid when you see it off and it will last! Something we sit a regular brick on the top to help hold it down. This sandbox has been through my 2 older kids and now my 3 year old. He loves it just as much as my 17 year old did and still does!"
Honest Review after 1 Year
"We have officially had this sandbox for 1 year and although it has provided a place for my toddlers to have fun playing with sand, the actual sandbox itself isn't the best. It is pretty expensive for how small it is. I have a 3 year old and a 2 year old that barely fit comfortably it in, and both of them are slightly short. So taller toddlers, would probably have a harder time fitting. Also, my biggest issue is that the lid does not help much anymore. For the first couple months, the lid worked great. However, it seems to have changed over time, maybe after being out in the sun? Now, it will not sit flat in the ridges when you close it, so everytime it rains, it all just trickles right into the sandbox and turns the kids' sand into a huge mess and they don't really want to get in there now. Its pretty disappointing for how much this thing cost. I would not repurchase this item."
Great backyard box
"Great sandbox! I love that it has a lid and is made of plastic. It’s a perfect size for my almost 4 year old. I’d say it’s a good size for 2 little kids or one older, but it’s not much bigger than that. Works great for what we needed!"
Pool and sandbox
"Plastic pools are hard to come by since COVID-19. While it’s hot outside I’ll continue to fill it with water and have a sturdy kiddie pool. Yes you have to bail out the water and then tip the rest out (no plug: but that’s a small price to pay, compared to a $45 kiddie inflatable pool that I old got to use for one month. ) Once it gets cooler, I’ll buy 6-7 large bags of play sand and transition it for that purpose. I love the neutral beige color. . . it’s hardly noticeable in our back patio."
TOP not completely sealed due to finger holes.
"Not having top completley sealed allows bugs to enter sandbox. Otherwise it would be 5 stars. It's beautiful. I bought this same sandbox without holes 15 years ago and it didn't have an issue with bugs unlike this one. I added cinnamon to sand as a deterrent. And tried to seal finger holes with child proofing furniture edge. :/"
Naturally Playful sandbox
"I absolutely LOVE our new Naturally Playful sandbox from Step2. My favorite feature is that it comes with a lid, which keeps out the rain, and leaves, which keeps the sand clean longer."
Good investment
"I am very pleased with this sandbox; it is sturdy and the cover fits well. Roomy enough for grandkids to play together. Perfect color and size to be used as a planter after they outgrow it."
