I bought this for my daughter's second birthday - she LOVES it. Because we live in a small condo the only place for this is on the porch, it works great, she can play outside even if it is raining, as the porch is covered. She put one of her small plastic chairs inside the house and she will sit there playing with her dolls. She loves the sand/water table (which was the real selling point over other playhouses), a neighbor's girl came over to play and they stayed in the playhouse or played with the sand for over two hours straight. The neighbor didn't want to leave when her parents came to pick her up. She loves getting her own "mail" too. I will put a small card or book (paperback coloring books fit great) in the mailbox for her to find.
