This is a wonderful doll house ! Very well designed , but it does take a lot of time to put together even for a pro. In fact it took us almost the whole day to put together but it was fun.. It would help if the instructions were printed in color. but after its all done- it's just wonderful , my daughter LOVES it. Just had to put pool / patio part on a side as it's hard to reach over to the house due to the patio size
