Lifetime Kid's Playhouse

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been a Lifetime family for as long as I can remember. When we decided to Foster we chose Lifetime products for our backyard to give our Foster kids something special to enjoy while in our home. This Lifetime Playhouse has quickly become a favorite. From the ease of putting it together with the kids, to the size and durability, this Playhouse is the most perfect addition to our backyard. Thanks Lifetime Products for helping families create amazing memories and products that will last for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *Lifetime Products sent me this complimentary playhouse in exchange for my honest review. While I received this playhouse for free, all thoughts and opinions are my own* This is the first playhouse my family has ever owned. My kids were beyond excited the day it arrived, and cheered when I said it was for them! There was even an "Alright, let's go!" in there too. 🙂 The box was pretty heavy, so my oldest son and his friend helped me pack it into the house. I was a little worried that it would take a while to put together considering the size of the playhouse, but the entire process took less than 30 minutes after opening up the box. I was pleasantly surprised of the simplicity and how easy it was to assemble! I pretty much did it myself, and the only thing I needed help with was lifting the roof onto the house. No tools are necessary since the parts just snap into place. I actually used a rubber mallet, making it easier for me to attach pieces together as my hands aren't the strongest. Since we don't have tons of room inside our house, we decided to set up the playhouse (dimensions: 44” x 46” x 55”) outside on the deck which is the perfect area for it. I'm able to do things in the kitchen and keep an eye on the kiddos while they're playing in it outdoors. We don't have any other backyard toys, so this addition was greatly appreciated. We also have a Lifetime Folding Picnic Table that sits on our deck as well, and when the warmer weather arrives, I'm going to add an outdoor rug and some potted plants. 🌼 Once the playhouse was ready to go, the older kids immediately took over and turned it into a fortress to keep the younger ones out. As you can imagine they weren't too happy about that, and I finally had to set a time limit so everyone could have a turn. I absolutely love the colors and openness of this playhouse! I've never been a fan of bright colored playhouses which tend to look tacky and cheap. Often times they fade and crack after sitting outside too long. My husband was worried about this, but I told him that this particular playhouse is UV-resistant so it won't fade in the sun, and can stand up to any weather without chipping, cracking, or peeling. I also like that there are no stickers...please tell me I'm not the only parent who doesn't like putting stickers on toys! 🙃 I love that it has two swinging doors, and that there is more than one way in and out. The extra windows are a plus too; I like the fact that I can always see what's going on when the kids are playing inside it. We have always had a good experience with Lifetime Products! I would rate this playhouse a 10/10, and hands down recommend one for your kids!
