Aosom Baby Kids Wooden Playpen Room Divider 8 Panel Review
I got it as a gift for my son's first birthday. He had just learned to walk and was all over the house. I had to keeping eyes on him all the time. This playpen helped me a lot. It is big and sturdy, my boy had plenty of room inside and it is quite safe for him.
I saw the reviews some other people said there were issues with the gate. I believe this new designed gate did fix the problem. I did not see any safety issue with this gate. The plastic cover is quite tough to slide, so once you closed the door, there is no gap on the gate that could hurt the fingers of child.
Also you need to be aware, this playpen is really huge. It could fit two kids easily. I do not have enough room for all the 8 panels, so I only used 6 panels. I like the way you can customize the panels and rooms you need. I'm also very happy with how I can pull the whole thing in different shapes to fit the room better. I did not mount the panels on the wall, even you could do so. I found it is sturdy enough already and my little one can not move it.
The only thing I do not like is the playpen is not foldable. But since I only have two extra panels to store, so it is not a matter for me. If you need to store all the 8 panels, it could be an issue. I have contacted with AOSOM, they said they will have next model which is foldable. I hope that model can be available soon.
Overall, I'm very happy with this playpen. My boy has a lot of room to move. The size and flexibility of the design is great. Absolutely love it!

Awesome Playpen! - Mike Tihiq -
I bought it last year for my first son, the setup was really easy and no manual needed. The gate works fine, and the height is definitely enough for my son. It is also very sturdy, my son could not move it till 2 years old when we decided not to use it anymore. Now we have our second boy, and we are using this playpen again. The playpen still works great! The only thing is it is hard to be stored. Other than that, it is a very good playpen.
Regrettable purchase - L. Flagge -
I purchased this product when my son was only 11 months old. He wasn't even walking yet. I purchased this play pen because it was made of wood, advertised to be a safe place for a child to play in, and offered a lot of space. I didn't purchase this unit from Amazon, but directly from the AOSOM Company in Oregon who is the manufacturer/distributer of the unit.
It was only in use for a little over 2 months, when I noticed that it had areas where it was cracked and split on half of the panels. I noticed this because my child was playing with something in his hand; and I saw that it was a large chunk of wood. The wood that is used in the manufacture of this unit is soft. The wood pieces that are above and below the dowels are not whole pieces of wood, but three smaller pieces of wood glued together. The connection points between each panel are not reinforced and due to the soft wood, split, crack and break off. The entire unit is supposed to have some sort of coating to make it smooth and keep it protected. This is definitely not the case.
I contacted the manufacturer and dealt with 2 different people. The person who contacted me via phone stated that he would replace any broken panels and that he wanted me to send him pictures. On the same day a different person e-mailed me and said that the company couldn't help me because I only had 2 months warranty, but he said that he wanted pictures. I took pictures of the unit. When I took the pictures I carefully look at every panel section and noticed that the other 4 panels had damage as well. The first 4 had very obvious damage where pieces of wood completely broke off, the other 4 had pieces of wood that were splitting and splintering and were ready to break off. Thus, the entire unit would need to be replaced, or I would need a refund.
I sent the pictures to the manufacturer and the person that e-mailed me back stated that he would only replace 4 of the panels ---with me paying shipping expenses for the new panels to be shipped to me. I was floored at the response since I sent pictures showing that the unit not only was unusable and posed a choking hazard, but had obvious manufacturer defects.
For three weeks, I repeatedly asked for someone to call me, and I asked the manufacturer several times for a refund as I didn't want 4 panels replaced and 4 panels broken. The response from the company was that they could not help me. I asked to speak to a supervisor and the last response that I received is that their manager "doesn't accept phone calls".
I contacted the Better Business Bureau and also the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC picked up the unit and is completing an investigation of the manufacture of the unit and the choking hazard that this unit poses to children.
In my opinion, this unit should be recalled.
As part of my due diligence to the CPSC, I looked on the internet to see if there were other individuals that had the same issues as I had with the playpen. The lesson learned here, is that I should have looked on Amazon first to see if there were any poor reviews of the product. There are several poor reviews out there on Amazon and other places. Had I seen the poor reviews on this unit, I would have never purchased it in the first place.
One Safety Issue After Another - Robert R. Welniak - Indianapolis, IN
I was SO excited to get mine in the mail. With a VERY active 12 mo. old I NEEDED a play pen in order to just go to the bathroom without him getting into something. We also wanted to use it for outside so we could corral him. It was great for about a week before the gate section broke off. I gave it a chance and removed that section and continued to use it. That was until I realized that my son was able to move it around and flip it over his head (no I am not kidding). Then I found out that b/c the screw holes are not threaded he was able to take the screws right out and basically take the thing apart. I am at the point where even when he is in the play pen I am just as worried about his safety if not more. I like to think that my son is a normal 1 year old. He is active and gets into everything but I would guess that is how most of our 1 year old boys and girls are. Sadly I don't remember where I got it from (got mine off ebay) so I am unable to complain and get my money back. Don't waste your money.
