I love this playhouse. It took my friend and I less than an hour to unpack and put together. My kids love it! I thought my 5 yr old wouldn't like it as much as my 18 month old, but they both enjoy it. The only thing I don't care for are the stools inside. I thought they would screw down, but do not. They aren't stable at all and my boys are constantly falling off of them. It is a bit smaller than I thought, but since we are a military family and move alot, it's not a bad thing. I would suggest watching the instruction video online first. I watched it at work, and when I got home I barely needed to look at the directions. Two of the screws didn't line up, but it's all plastic, so I made my own hole.
