I checked the contents
I checked the contents, prior to sending on as present. Just a bit of rope, a couple of cheap pulleys and a little wooden box. I was expecting a rather more than this. I could have bought those items for £8 down the DIY shop and saved £30 !

Ordered the den kit as a present
Ordered the den kit as a present for my 10 year old niece. Great success!!!
Loved the canvas bag which keeps everything together and found it very easy to set up the den and repack afterwards. Lightweight so easy for her to carry and she has used it many times with cousins and friends
Was so impressed with it I bought another one !

Lovely packaging bag and good fun for our granddaughter to open at Christmas. Can’t wait for the weather to improve to see her with it outside.
Good quality items and the hat I bought from you to go with it was great but could have had the logo on too.

Great Company and awesome gift for my Granddaughter !! I ordered direct from them but realized it would be too late so they kindly cancelled it as I found one locally and they cancelled it straight away. I was impressed with their brilliant service and bought their kit at a local shop.
Fab little kit from a small British Company what more could I ask for . Definately worth it all round.
