It's a really cool and classy looking playhouse. The kids are having fun in it. It took several adults about 30 hours of work to finish it. This time could be reduced if there were fewer sizes of nuts/bolts/screws, etc to sort through (there were probably 30 bags of different hardware!). The boards were all marked, but the mark was very hard to see on the darker boards. My kids feel like the main floor is a little bouncy, so I'm planning to reinforce it. Overall, though, I'm pleased.
