Brilliant present for a 7year old.
I bought the Den Kit as a birthday present for my 7year old grandson. He loved it and is trying to persuade his parents to allow to use the Den overnight.

Great fun
All as described, arrived before expected, good and sturdy, looking forward to hours of fun...
ETA: my son and his 2 cousins (5, 10 and 4) had an absolute ball with this. Brought it to the beach with some bamboo canes and utilised the groynes for more support. They managed to build a structure that stood up to the wind and the rain of a Welsh summer! Looking forward to seeing what they produce out in the woods next

Loved by the grandchildren
The website was easy to negotiate, I found the kit I wanted for my grandchildren and the payment system went smoothly. It arrived at my front door 4 days later in perfect condition and the children really enjoyed using it.

Amazing in every way
I loved my den kit. Though it is quite expensive, all the things inside the bag are great quality and fun to play with. The kit arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. Overall, I would rate this kit 100/10, should definitely buy great for all ages.

Grandchildren exploring the world of potions
We got a potion kit for each of our two grandchildren, aged 4 and 3, and they loved trying out all the mixes, adding a few items of their own from our garden. They also played with the containers in the bath. We need to top up the 'potions' now as they are all in one gigantic mix. A very successful present!

This was my first experience of The Den Kit company and it’s been a very positive one.
Ordering was made much easier by your lovely helpful staff, speaking to an actual person when I needed to change some of the order was so much better than our usual experience these days.
We can’t wait for our two grandsons to share the den making kit when we go away with them it’s the sort of thing they love and for an older granddaughter collecting wild flowers and keeping a log of the names will be lots of fun. I’m probably as excited as them about it all.
So glad to have discovered your company.
