There are pros and cons about this cottage. I love the interactive details like the doorbell, telephone, and the ability to use the mail slot. My 2 year old granddaughter loves these details. The cons were few. One thing I dont like is that the one side of the cottage has 2 large open spaces that do not have shutters like the two other sides that are supposed to be windows. I want to hang some tension rods with curtains in these spaces or something because its just wide open and not cozy. The other con was that the faucet is very flimsy and wiggley. My granddaughter began playing with it and started saying "OH NO!!" as if she broke it because it moved so much and seems like its not made correctly. We also had a long screw missing for the door knob that I will have to contact the company about. For the price, its a very cute little cottage with limited space inside to play.

Got this for our daughter a couple weeks ago for her second birthday. It was priced lower than a lot of the playhouses out there, but she doesn't know it :) She loves it! She loves to ring the doorbell and talk on the phone. She's very tall for her age, and it's a great size for her. Plus it will last her a while, because there's plenty of headroom once she gets in. Shipping would have been way too expensive, but Site2Store worked great and was free. It was simple to put together.

This is a nice playhouse. It's open, but has a door and windows. Our child loves to ring the doorbell and put mail in the mail slot. Thre are some small divots in the roof that collect water, and while I love that it has a built in floor, we do have to clean it periodically, as the texture floor also tends to hold leaves and dirt. Overall, a really good house for the price.

I only wish that I would have read the dimensions more carefully. There's nothing wrong with it...its just slightly small for my 3, almost 4, year old. She still likes it, but has to duck to get in. I envisioned something that would be useful, longer. My bad. The product is great. I would invest as soon as she is walking. I waited too long.

I have been trying to buy this cottage for months- everyone is sold out! My mom bought this for my 13 month old son online (we paid $200- including shipping) and it is awesome :) It was very easy to put together (took 30 minutes), it is sturdy, and he loves it!

I purchased this play house for my 1 and 2 year olds for their birthdays. WOW!! I LOVE the price compared to all the other play houses I looked at and I LOVE the size. It is great for 2 or more kids to play in and WONDERFUL for tall children. My kids are super tall and they fit in this play house like a dream. I would absolutely buy another step 2 product from walmart.com as this was great. I do have 1 word of caution.....make sure you read the dimensions of the product you are buying. This one was perfect for my tall kids but so many others would not have been.

We purchased this for my 19 month old daughter to have something to do while my mother babysits her. I love the idea of this product, however, I do not think it is worth the money spent on it, quality wise. Please keep in mind that is from an adult point of view. My daughter LOVES to play in the house. Set up on this product was HORRIBLE! Mind you, I am the "official" assembler in my household and am pretty good at it. You NEED to have a drill to assemble it because where the wholes are suppose to be there is plastic. You will not get anywhere trying to use a screwdriver so please save yourself the headache/hand-ache. Even with the drill it was hard to get the initial hole going. I knew the product was plastic but some pieces, the floor and roof are made of an extremely cheap wobbly plastic and I did not get enough of the correct screws to properly assemble it. Something about the screws in the images and the actual screws did not quite add up. It is safe to say that I will not be purchasing another Step 2 product but I am glad my daughter is enjoying it. Her smile made my painful red hand worth it.

My son is almost 20m and just got this. He loves the phone and doorbell, but the doorbell sound is VERY low. He's tall for his age, 33 inches, and has plenty of head room. The kitchen sink could be a bit more sturdy. If they put any weight on it, it'll bend down. Overall, it's a great playhouse. It'll keep him out of the sun while he's playing in it and has a floor too.

We bought this little house for my son when he was about 18 months old. He absolutely loved it. There was plenty of room for him and a friend to play. The best part was that i could see him while he played in it. It is very open. It was easy to put together. It has been outside since we got it, and it has held up great. The stickers did not make it through the rain and weather, but everything else has. The door, windows, and even the doorbell still work great. It is very easy to keep clean. Just spray it out with the water hose, and it is good to go. My son is now 5 and he has gotten too tall for it. I just passed it on to a friend of mine. Her little girl is 18 months old...and she loves it.

We got this as a present for our 1 year old son and he absolutely loves it. Fairly easy to get together. It is not that big so I am not sure how long he will be able to use it, my boys are not small, but even if he is able to use it for a year, for the price it is well worth it. He loves it.
