I am a staff reviewer and received this item as part of a sampling program. The Charming Cottage is exactly that, adorably charming! My nephews, ages 3 and 5 were very excited to see it arrive and eager to help put it together! It was easy to put together and we had it done within a few hours. The instructions were easy to follow and the 5 year old helped the whole time. Their favorite part of the house are the awesome doorbell that actually works. They love the ledge that they can sit on next to the fireplace and the little ledge on the outside by the sink. Their mom loves the wide windows that she can easily reach through to interact with the kids.  The tall roof is a great feature, because she can get inside without feeling too claustrophobic. There is ample room inside to play and the book holder is awesome to store books and toys. This cottage is adorable and  we highly recommend it!
