We love our Sweetheart Playhouse!!...Our 18-month old enjoys playing in her little home! Since it doesn't have a floor, my husband came up with sanding &amp; staining a fence panel and set it as the floor. It's very easy to assemble and a little heavy so it stands perfectly. The LifeStyle Fresh Accents Kitchen can fit inside this playhouse (since it doesn't have a kitchen on it!) We had ours in our backyard since May 2013, so far it hasn't faded yet after all the Spring rain and heat. Our little girl loves ringing the doorbell. We love playing with our daughter in her little playhouse! If there's one thing that I would like to suggest, it would be that Step2 should have playhouse covers too(like patio furniture covers..hehe), it would help us take less time in checking these cute playhouses for some insects before we play and also for protection against color fading.
