We looked and looked and looked and …
We looked and looked and looked and looked for our first play set. There is so much out there, it was a bit overwhelming. We couldn't imagine the dimensions, how it would be in our yard, whether we needed add-ons, etc. Our children are 5 years apart: oldest is 7 and youngest is 2, so we wanted versatile without breaking the bank. Then we received a flyer from Creative Playthings in the mail-- serendipity at its best. Better yet, there was a store in our town that we didn't even know about (and right off a main highway close for many people wanting to see things first hand). We walked into a clean, comfortable setting and saw 5 different models. The sales staff were friendly, very accommodating, and easy to work with. They also helped us make a few decisions, and there was no pressure at all. We left and thought things through for a few days. When we were ready to purchase, we walked in again and the buying experience was the same: low pressure, MULTIPLE add-ons for free (part of the sale for the season), and when we couldn't decide we were able to SEE enough to help us along. We ended up spending what we had expected, which was only a bit more than what we almost purchased from Craigslist for a used set that we would have to break down, transport to our house, and rebuild. Three weeks later a Creative Playthings builder came over and in 4 hours he meticulously put together the set. He left our yard very clean and showed us that one of the piece of material had very small surface scratches that he would report to the Company. We ended up receiving a replacement for that piece. Meanwhile, our children love the set and we suspect it will be used for at least 10 years if not more (the adults love to swing on it also -wink-).
