Slides to rock star stage

My boys absolutely love this. From the day we opened it, they were bursting with ideas (aged nearly 5 & 2) from slides to the rock star stage which is a favourite! Highly recommend!

Gets used so much

I wasn't sure how much these would get used but my 4 year old and 7 year old boys have been pulling them out every day to create balancing tracks, tracks for their cars, and slides. Very happy with the purchase

Great for balance and movement

My 3 and 6 year olds love setting up tracks to balance on, making obstacle courses, using the planks as part of their marble runs etc. I've been really impressed by how many uses there are for them

Beautiful set, great quality

We are so thrilled at the quality of these beams. The wood is beautiful and non slip pads are an excellent touch. Beautiful neutral aesthetic that we know will last for years

Great fun

1YO loves climbing all over this, particularly when we make ramps and steps. Sadly dog also thinks it’s his personal sofa so they have to take turns…love the feel of the covers and the fact they are easy to wash. We got the two thick bases which builds a better sized sofa. Really pleased with it, would recommend.

Loads of fun

We got the play couch as a Christmas present for our boys (5 and 3yrs), and they absolutely love it. We’ve had so many different creations, the cushions are great for bouncing on, and comfy to sit on. Highly recommend!

Fantastic

Bought this for my one year old and he/we absolutely love it! So fun being creative, making tunnels/shapes for him to climb on/slide balls and cars down! Initially thought it might be too old for him but we have had so much fun playing. It's also very comfy to sit on and doubles up as a comfy mattress if needed. Worth every penny and will be telling all my friends to get one!

Best Christmas present

My 3 year old and 6 year old LOVE this. It had endless play opportunities. It is also pretty comfy to sleep on (having had to sleep on my child's bedroom floor during a recent illness!). I think it will be amazing even when they're older as a chill out space. For now, it's a sofa, a boat, a den, a stage & a thousand other things! Feels very good quality.

Great product!

Our granddaughter loves her Possum Play, so versatile and brings a level of safety to her surrounds.

Well made

It’s well made and a good fun for my children.

Great purchase!

We had no trouble at all buying from the website. The product arrived within the date indicated, well packaged and with everything in order. My son is 2 years old and he loves his new couch for jumping, buildijg forts and just laying down resting. Even we adults have fun with it and find it very confortable. Thank you!

Love

We purchased the green possum play couch for my almost two year old son for Christmas. It has been the gift that keeps on giving. Im heavily pregnant and love sitting on the lounge (instead of the floor) in his playroom and watching him play, and my husband builds all kinds of tunnels and buildings with him. It has been endless fun for our family and looks beautiful in his room too. I should also mention it has been great to clean. I vaccume it every few days and have used water and a microfibre cloth to remove playdogh/ food stains. It always comes up looking perfect :)

So worth it!

I was skeptics about how much fun they would really have but they absolutely love it, (although sometimes two boys nearly injure themselves with what they come up with so maybe a play mat underneath is next 😂) but also so do I! I got the forest green colour and it is so beautiful
And goes so well with our decor. I also take one cushion and the wedge every evening into the bedroom to do story time and then lie with both boys to cuddle to sleep so an absolute game changer! Would definitely recommend

3 year old loves it !

Would buy it again !!! Worth the cost. My daughter plays with it everyday.. she uses her imagination whilst playing !! At first I had my doubts but after a few
Weeks my kid is obsessed!

Hours of fun!

All my kids (3,5 & 8) love their possum couch and play with it daily. It’s great for cubby building and relaxing!

Better than expected

I had been holding off buying a play couch for some time, but bought a possum play couch when it was on sale and due to the reviews. It didn’t disappoint! The girls (3 and 7) have played on it literally every day since they got it for Christmas from Santa… for forts, stages, movie night and more. Great colour and design and all around fantastic product - highly recommend

I bought the Possum play couch with circles set, moon arch set and armrest set for our 9mth old grandson. I bought the 3 items in different colours for a bit of fun. He loves it. It has been amazing for him to learn to climb on and he has used it every single day since he received it for Christmas. The moon arch set is so versatile. We set it up as a table for his toys to sit on which encourages him to stand to play with them and he climbs up onto it too. It’s amazing quality, definitely worth every cent and will last him for years and years. Amazing product.

Best gift ever

We bought this for our kids for Christmas and it has been their favorite gift ever! They love building forts and special comfy spots for them to all enjoy time together as siblings. Even our 9 year old has enjoyed playing with it. We also use it for movie nights to set up a comfy spot to lounge and watch. So far we haven’t had any big messes but it generally seems easy to clean.

Love our possum couch

The kids are thrilled with their new gift and are so creative with their ideas when playing with the couch!

My boys love it!

We’ve had the possum couch for a month and my boys (2&4) still play with it everyday! It does take up a lot of space (I went a bit overboard and ordered every add on), but would still recommend.

So popular with our kids it’s replaced our living room sofa

This has gone into so many configurations in the last 3 weeks, from vehicles, hiding places, crash mats and houses. One of the best gifts we’ve ever got for our kids

Very comfy and great fun!

Brilliant quality, easy to assemble. Little one loves it. Definitely worth it for black friday sale price

Versatile & big age range

At 9 & 6 I was wondering whether my boys were starting to move out of the play bracket but they absolutely love the possum! I was looking for a sleepover bed for their room for when we have guests and they do still love to make a den so figured this ticked both boxes. It has been in constant use since it arrived. They love making dens especially when friends are over and it’s so comfortable and has been used countless times for sleepovers it’s been just fab. Cannot recommend enough.

Happy Customer

We are really delighted with our purchase so far. We ordered the couch during Black Friday but saved it for when we set up a play space a couple of months later so I was a little worried about how well it would last in the box for that length of time. I’m delighted to report that when we took it out of the box it took less than an hour to fully expand. The kids have been loving it. I really appreciate the versatility of the product and the fact that I can have it set up as one couch or two separate chairs when not in use for play. This means I can have it set up in multiple areas of the home, the living room, kids rooms, anywhere really. I can’t comment on life span as yet but the couch seems to be great quality and I find it very comfortable for myself too! It’s definitely an investment that will grow with the kids, I can see many happy years ahead.

Our boys love it

Soft, comfortable, great for den building!

Fantastic, we love it!

Great for making dens and assault courses!

Best Christmas present!

We bought the Possum Play Couch with circle set for our two grandsons, who are 6 and 3 years old and they absolutely love it and have really enjoyed changing all the cushions into various camps. It’s a perfect size when in sofa shape for their playroom.

A great purchase!

I bought this for my twin granddaughters for Christmas and they love it and it is joyful to see them playing and relaxing on it.
