I found 40+ excellent reviews elsewhere on line and ordered this from another retailer who offered free shipping on it. We put it together in about 10 minutes and our 13 mo old was sliding on it immediately. It is for ages 18 mo+ and I think that is probably correct. We are using it in the house until it gets warmer and then will move it outside. We didn't assemble the periscope but saved the pieces for later. It is very well made and is attractive. I like that there is a platform before you get to the slide and that it can be a fort as well. The slide part disassembles easily for transport. It does require close supervision. We found we could back the ladder to the wall and take off the slide and then it is just a safe fort for when we don't have time to supervise. We're very happy with it.

My newly turned 1 son is the most athletic little guy of my 4 boys so even though we have lots of boy toys around the house, I needed something special for his first birthday. He wants so badly to keep up with the big boys! Having an October birthday, I was trying to opt for something he could play with indoors during the rainy/cold weather but that was also very active. Fortunately we have enough room for a small climbing structure like this and it is just perfect!
PROS:
-very easy to assemble
-fits inside without being to awkward we have it in a dining room and it could easily work in a space 1/2 the size
-the perfect size for a 1 year old (and my 13 month old niece loves it too!)
-durable enough to withstand big kids -- my 5 year old twins are all over it as well and while it has a 60 pound weight limit, it is managing to hold up well for time when they sneak on it together

CONS:
-I can't really think of anything! I was worried about kids falling off but so far no problem even when one is coming up the slide and one up the ladder, they seem to work it out just and my niece is not as athletic and coordinated as my son but she does great with it as well. Only took a few days to get the hang of climbing up the ladder and how to slide down. Now they both climb the slide also!

I am looking forward to moving it outside in the summer also.

This is an excellent indoor slide if you are looking for something for your little ones to do in cold winter months. It is a small slide, takes up very little space, and the tree house is perfect for play. I bought it for my 18 month old son and he has had much fun using it. His friends of up to 7 years old have played on it and it has lasted many children's parties. I plan to move it outdoors in the Spring.

We bought this for our one year old granddaughter. She may be on the tall side but she already is too tall to stand on the top landing and it was supposed to be for 18 months to 3 years. Also the ladder is not designed well-nothing to hold on to as the child climbs up. The reviews were pretty good but I am dissapointed that she won't be able to play on it for very long.

We didn't get to really try this toy out for more than one afternoon, as my 34" tall 2 year old was entirely too big for it. She didn't even have to use the stairs to get in to it. She couldn't stand under the top and look through the periscope, and she didn't have enough room to turn around to use the slide to get down. I think a better age range would be 18 mo to 2 or 3 years. We returned it and ordered a slide for the yard instead.

We ordered it for our son that was 18 months old it said it was for a child 1-1/2 to 5 years old.once we put it together he could not stand up in it the space from floor to the roof was not tall enough for him to stand in.We shiped it back for credit.

We just bought this for our 1 1/2 year old son because he has tons of energy and loves to climb and explore. He does enjoy playing with this and has fun when other kids come over but I am just a bit disappointed about the height of the product. Our son can not stand up on the platform because the roof is too low. I would not be too upset about this if he was older and near the end of the age range of this toy but the box indicates that this is for 1 1/2 - 5 year olds. If our son who is not even 18 months yet cannot stand up than how much fun can a 5 year old have? Or even a 3 year old?

I purchased this climber for my daughter's 1st birthday, hoping that it would be a great indoor toy during the winters here in MN. As soon as it was set up my 1year old and 2.5year old were in love. My daughter scaled the ladder and went down the slide with the biggest smile! My 2.5year old says it is the best fishing spot in the house!! Great quality, very sturdy!

My son is 11 months and goes non-stop, all day. He loves this thing! He is 29.5" and has about 2 inches of clearance from the roof when standing in the middle of the platform, just for a size perspective.

I got this used and it took me 5 minutes to put it all together. The walls snap in with the legs, which makes the platform really sturdy. The periscope is adorable and actually has mirrors in it, so it's functional! My son has no issues climbing the ladder or getting down the slide - it is a great way for him to burn off energy on rainy days.

It really doesn't take up very much space indoors, which I love.

We bought this treehouse for our very active, climbs everything 16 month old in the hopes that it would curtail some of the dangerous table and couch climbing that she was constantly doing. We keep it in our house so that we can redirect her to it when she begins her crazy climbing. It has worked remarkably well and she plays with it every day. (My other kids love it too) It is the best toy purchase we have ever made-and there have been many purchases as we have 5 children. I am rating it 5 stars as an indoor toy. (We have no experience with using it outside.)
