The whole concept of the cottage is a really good idea! It has a front & back door, the windows open, letter box etc my kids love playing pretend house with this house it has amazing features. It was easy to put together and it didnt take too long, the only downside is that the plastic doesnt feel as sturdy & durable as the old one but i still feel it will last long! the main thing is the smile on my kids face and they love it !
