Our daughter who is 2.5 has lots of stuffed animals just like many children her age. For a while we've been putting the stuffed animals away in her toy box, but eventually there were so many that we could no longer fit them in the toy box, which is when we started looking for other options. We considered one of those mesh hammock-type solutions that attach to a wall, but were drawn to the simplicity of this organizer. The solution also seemed to be more compact.

PROS
+ Offers a compact way to store stuffed animals.
+ Can store up to 60 stuffed animals, which we were able to confirm.
+ Works with all sizes of stuffed animals (use legs, arms, etc. for larger stuffed animals).
+ Base is sturdy enough where it will not topple over easily.
+ No tools needed to put this together. Literally took me two minutes to put together and within 10 minutes of opening the box I had all the stuffed animals hooked on.

CONS
- Price. I thought that $25+ was expensive for the organizer. I think it should be at least $5-$10 cheaper.
- Construction material was mostly plastic and for the price of the organizer I thought it would be much sturdier. While the organizer did not topple easily, it was easy enough to sway the pole on which the stuffed animals hang, which just gave me a sense of cheap. I would just have expected this to be more sturdy, especially since we were careful to balance out the stuffed animals.
- Straps. I would have liked to have straps of varying sizes. I felt like in some instances I was stretching the strap out to the max to get a stuffed animal to hold on, while other times I could practically wrap the whole toy and it still felt somewhat loose.

Overall, I would still have made the purchase, since it accomplishes our main goal, which was to get the toys off the floor. If the item were cheaper and bit more sturdy I would have given it 5 out of 5 stars, but because of those two main issues it's a 3.5 out of 5 for me.

I bought this tree organizer because my daughter has a lot of stuffed toys and I was tired of them always being on the floor. She is 7 and also doesn't like putting them back on her bed everyday when she makes her it. I was extremely surprised when the item arrived w/in 2 days after I ordered it. I only chose the free shipping method which states it could take 5-7 additional days. It was also very easy to put together, no tools necessary.

The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars is because my daughter finds it difficult to stretch the elastic bands over her stuffed toys heads. (small and medium sized toys) I have to help her take them on and off, so it can be a little inconvenient at times. Maybe after using it for a few more weeks it will be easier for her. Overall this product is great and I recommend it for all kids rooms or play rooms. It is money well spent.

This is a great product!My daughter has more than 60 stuffed toys and they used to be all over the place.Now they are very neatly hanging to this toy tree. This however cannot hold the huge ones, but then there are only few of that size.I am planning to buy another one for her room. It is quite stable and easy to assemble. It does not tip off as I had feared it would after hanging the toys.

This is great! It holds a lot of stuffed animals. I don't follow the reviewer that said it doesn't hold large stuffed animals. Huge ones -- no, but large -- yes. You just need to put the loop around an arm, leg, tail, etc. Great storage tool!

It's really good for smaller to medium sized stuffed animals/dolls, only because the larger ones would cover up the rest of the dolls/animals and it would be overstuffed. Everyone comments on how cool it is, with the tree of stuffed animals. It's practical and helps keep the toys off the floor and in view so the kids will play with the stuffed animals/doll more.

I bought this stuffed animal organizer for my kids' play room. It is very cheaply made for the price you pay. Instead of clips to hold the toys, there are elastic bands that don't stretch very well. Because they don't stretch well, it makes it very difficult to hang the stuffed toys on the organizer. It is very flimsy and small. My husband and I were very disappointed when we received this product! I would never recommend it to anyone.

I was a little leery that this "tree" would really work, but it does!!! The height makes it hard for my daughter to get the smaller toys on top, but her having to ask me to get them down helps me to keep a handle on the amount of stuffed animals that are out as she has to put others back before I'll take more down. I had no problem getting the loops over the tops of large animals, but I could see where a child might. Until my daughter is strong enough to do it herself, I'll just do it. The tree was really more for my sanity that for her. The only concern I have is I've been telling her to never put anything over her own head or around her own neck, yet I'm telling her to do exactly that with her animals. I'll just keep reinforcing that the loops won't hurt the toys but could hurt her very badly. Other than that concern I think it's well worth the money!

Found that the item is too unstable when using on carpeted floors. Furthermore it becomes top heavy when putting too many animals on there. A better solution would be to hang a chain from the ceiling.

This is great for holding the small to medium stuffed animals and it was super easy to put together. My daughter is able to see and get the animals that she wants to play with instead of digging around in a bin and throwing them on the floor or forgetting about them. It is also good for keeping the clutter down, it only holds so many, so once it is full then we can't bring home more without getting rid of something. I suggest putting the larger items on the bottom and not too many of them because even though the elastic will stretch around most animals I am pretty sure that it will topple over if it gets too heavy.

Easy to assemble. Holds all the big webkinzs and the little webkinz. Fits nicely in a corner.
