We’ve had this house for about a year and it’s help up really well outside (the picture is after having the house outside for almost a year). It is small and would recommend it for ages 1-3. We got this for my daughter’s 4th birthday and the magnets that keep the doors closed are so low that she’s bumped her head a bunch of times on it. Because of this, she hardly ever used it. Luckily my 18 month old likes it or it would have been a waste to buy. You definitely need to get a little kitchen or something to put in the house because there’s nothing about the house itself to play with.
