Thank you to Step2 for letting me test this item as part of the Step2 toy tester program. This is a great product that can be used indoors and outdoors by young children. The assembly was pretty quick and it was ready to use in no time. There was minimal learning curve for my 1.5 year old as he started to play with the balls and the chute indoors right after I assembled the table. Taking it outside and adding water just upped the fun factor 10x. However, perhaps because my kiddos are a bit rough, the chute was not as sturdy as I would have liked. It's not a huge deal because my 4 year old would just place it back and the fun continued. The lightweight, plastic balls were the highlight as these were sent down the chute, catapulted with force and spinned around. This is a great addition to your backyard and/or patio this Spring/Summer. For those with harsh winters, just bring it indoors and continue with the play!
