Tools and Hardware Reviews of dbest 00-022 Stuffed Animal Organizer
Customer Review: Better for older child
Summary: 3 Stars
Really loved the idea of this product. Looked great, and did get a large amount of animals off the floor. However it is a bit flimsy. The base is heavy enough to keep it upright even when all the loops are in use. But the post sways easily even when empty. My 4 yr old was able to use it without problems. When my 18 month old tried to pull a toy off from the upper portion (he didn't figure out taking the loop off of the animal) the pole snapped in half at the base. I will get another one for my older child, but if you are looking for something for a toddler this probably isn't it. I thought it was a reasonable price, but would love to see it with a metal pole to make it more durable.Customer Review: Better than I thought it would be!
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this today. I assembled it in only a few minutes with no tools. It took about 10-15 minutes to get all of my daughter's stuffed animals on. I had no problems with getting the elastic bands to fit over the heads or arms of her animals. It is sturdier than I thought it would be from the previous reviews. The only advice that I would give is to place the larger animals on the bottom and fill in the holes with the smaller stuffed toys. I am so excited to finally have a product that will help keep my daughter's room a bit cleaner! So happy!Customer Review: Could Be Better, But Does the Job (3.5 out of 5)
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Creative Storage Idea
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Good Idea
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to put together. Love being able to hang up all the stuffed animals and dolls. Can be difficult for my child to do it on her own. Other than that, I like it.
