My wife talked me into buying this house for are daughters. I was against it as I know she makes the purchase and I have to assemble. Having had to assemble "easy to assemble" products before. While it did take me about 4 hours to assemble the job was pretty straight forward. If assembly had taken twice that long it would have been worth the sight of our daughters (4&6) faces the first time they saw the playhouse. I assembled it at night so they woke up to it one morning. We now have a hard time getting them out of their house and into our house for dinner. The kids love this house and I look like the star that made it all happen. Thank you for making me look so  good.
