This product makes your children look like if in a real beach house. Wonderful that children on a beautiful, sunny day spend hours enjoying. They can climb the stairs to the tower. From there, they have a beautiful view of the entire garden. Then they slide easily down the long slide. Hemlock wood does not splinter and is inherently resistant to weather conditions such as rain and thus resistant to rotting. The wood is treated with a water-based stain and is therefore virtually maintenance-free. This naturally-based stain is not harmful to the environment and safe for children (without chemicals).
