Step2 Naturally Playful Adventure Lodge Play Center with Glider

Decided to purchase this after looking around for a reasonable sized swing set that could grow with my toddler. Either the slides on the sets were too small or the set was overpriced. This set fell right in the middle and had extras like the basket ball hoop the rope ladder and multiple swings! This takes a while to put together- it has so many parts- but the instructions are great. My husband was able to put it together by himself but perhaps that's why it took a bit longer. My son is three- but a very tall 3 (he's as tall as an average size 5 year old) and this set is absolutely perfect worth the money. I liked the colors they weren't too bright and would blend into the backyard. I thought I would have preferred the wood look but this is better as it hasn't lost color (like most of the wooden sets) it looks like it just came out of the box. My son uses every inch of this set whether he's playing by himself or with his friends. The slide is quite long (much longer that most other products of this size) and I like that he can use it for wuite some time. The playhouse is great sizeable the ripe ladder is safer than I thought it would be, it has been very sturdy- i have not had any issues- we put it up for my son's b-day party it had multiple users and no issues. We didn't need cement or anything- we judt used what was in the box to hold it down. I would highlyr ecommend.

My kids love this. It is very good quality and has lasted us a year so far with no issues. Got all of the parts. The directions were easy to follow. Make sure you have 2-3 people for assembly. It looks exactly as advertised.

My son loves this. He has a ton of fun with the parts that are currently together. This brings me to the problems. The quality control is lacking with this product. When I initially got the playset delivered I was sent the same swingset pole twice and one additional pole instead of 3 distinct poles for everything. This was frustrating, but they sent me the correct pole no questions asked. I was able to build the fort part of the playset while I waited for the new pole. Once the new pole arrived I began to put the A-frames and swingset and glider poles together. The swingset pole was perfect, everything lined up and it was great. The glider pole was not. The holes were visibly crooked and did not line up in any way. I could not get the anchor pin in and then when I attempted to put the glider parts that connect at the pole one of them was about 45 degrees off due to the mis drilling of the holes in the pole. They are once again sending me a new pole for that part. Once I get that pole I am confident it will be all together finally. Other than the issues, the set was fairly easy to put together by myself. I had to get some help once or twice, but it would have been possible to do it all by myself if I had to I think. The reason I am not giving it less than 4 stars is for a few reasons. 1. Like I said, my son loves the thing. He has had a blast playing with it and his baby brother should have fun too when he is old enough. 2. Even though the quality control was not great, the customer service was top notch.(and get this, they were in America!) They were super nice. They didn't question me in any way and immediately sent me new parts. Hopefully once the new pole arrives everything will work as expected and we will enjoy this playset for years to come. I may have just been an anomaly and had some bad luck, I don't know. I'm just glad they have been great about replacing things for me. I think I would still buy it again if I had the opportunity.

We have had our playground for a full year officially. It does take quite a long time to put together but it’s so worth it. My boys have so much fun. Only one tiny complaint is that the shade on top has faded so much. However that couldn’t be helped as my yard is 100% fully in the sun. We do not have any trees or shade. Other than that, I love it. Great product and would definitely recommend for little toddlers.

We bought this product for our two boys - ages 4 and 2. We looked at larger wood sets, but because we have a cautious 4 year old and a fearless 2 year old, the wood sets all seemed to have slides and open gaps that were too tall/dangerous for our needs. This set is as safe as I have seen - no large gaps where children could fall from tall heights like the taller wood sets. It took my husband and father between 4-5 hours to assemble it from start to finish ...not bad at all. The boys absolutely love the playset and it looks great. The only drawback I see is that it will likely not last us for more than 3-5 years simply because of the weight restrictions associated with it. The good news is that the Step2 products have decent resale value, so we plan to enjoy it to its fullest and then resell it to purchase a larger wood set down the road.
