Perfect Roundhouse & Turntable
I bought this roundhouse for my son's 3rd birthday. The look and construction seemed fine from the product description. Other reviews had mentioned the 5 screw holes visible on each of the two sides that are not visible in the images associated with the product. Well, they're small and insignificant. I can see why the company would photoshop them out. It's not something you would want to draw attention to. There's no safety factor and I don't think my son notices at all.
My biggest concern was, will the large engines, Gorden and Henry, fit on the turntable with their tenders? It turns out that they do! Hurray!
The back is open enough to allow easy access to place the engines. The doors open easily. And the turntable operates easily as well.
Some other reviews had mentioned that it was odd that the center part of the turntable comes out easily. It does, it pops right out if you turn it over. It's held in the plastic part by gravity only. But I can see...
Turn table not wood
My son loves this shed, however I am very disappointed that the turn table (the grey part) is plastic, not wood. I have re-read the product description and it doesn't indicate that it is plastic. Also, the doors do not stay closed which is somewhat frustrating to my son. We plan to fix this with magnets, but for the price the entire product should be wood with magnets for the doors included.
Well built and sturdy but a little expensive
My 3 year old son LOVES the Tidmouth Sheds. I was apprehensive paying $60+ for an accessories but that all vanished when my son started playing with it. There's something about the Shed that really brings the wooden set to life and the children playing with it. I think it's because the trains now have a home which adds to the children's imagination. As for the quality, it's very well built and will last for years. The doors are pretty sturdy and haven't had any issue with them coming off. Overall I very happy with the purchase and my son is a thousand times happier and that what's most important.
