Toys and Games Reviews of Playhut City Boutique
Customer Review: be prepared to be frustrated
Summary: 3 Stars
My 27 month-old daughter got this yesterday for Christmas and I bought a similar Thomas playhut for my nephew. The Thomas came first and I should have been prepared. I wanted to look at it before I wrapped it and it was a disaster to put away both because of the lack of coherent instructions and the fact that my daughter fell in love. When I put the beauty boutique up, she was just as excited. However, I was just as angry trying to deal with the thing.
It is made of flimsy material which I made the mistake, in my review of the Thomas tent, of giving the benefit of the doubt.
I tried to insert one of the rods into the door and ripped the stupid thing. Bye bye door.
The curtains are a sloppy mess, even though my daughter could care less.
There was another longer rod included and the instructions didn't mention this. I found out by reading reviews that the longer rod is supposed to go across the top to allow a "little" more stability. I'm not sure if it goes across the outside or inside but it's better than nothing. Without it, it collapsed on my daughter 3 times before I even got all the stuff out of the bag.
The mirror is a ridiculous waste of material. Even a 2-year-old can tell something is not right. And forget the dressing room curtains. Back in the bag they went along with the other rod and the ripped door.
This is all in the first 20 minutes folks!
I don't even want to attempt to put it away and my daughter probably won't let me because, thankfully, she has a good imagination and can pretend it isn't junk.
It took me an hour of struggling to put Thomas away and I anticipate something similar with this.
The only saving grace is that when and if I do get it folded up, it tucks away nicely. Also, I can't forget that it was pretty cheap cost-wise so I guess you do get what you pay for.
Overall, young kids will enjoy playing house. It will probably never be used the way it was meant to be and the extra parts are useless. So are the instructions. Recommended to parents with LOTS of patience.
