We purchase for Christmas and "Santa" left it in her bedroom...she slept with her big sister Christmas Eve:)
It was the Grand Finale, and it did not disappoint!!
My husband who has no construction bones in his body was able to put together!! We did not add the bench....first because we ran out of time...second because it was above his level of construction ability.  If you have any construction sense you will be fine. I would definitely suggest having a second person to help build.  It has been FUN to play picnic, restaurant,  drive through...you can really get creative. I also can fit and stand up in the house. (I am about 5'3".)
Great FUN!!
