This playhouse is really well made and worth the effort. It took a full 12 hrs from start to finish, but what a result.  Only one glitch during the build (one board was not correct & the picture in the manual was inverted).  This was recognized and all went smoothly after that.  Such a joy to watch children's imagination take over as they play and play on this set.  Our grandson now calls this his House.  
Thank you.
