Very cute but smaller than expected and wood is quite thin. My husband put this together by himself in about 4 hours. I would recommend using a tape measure to lay out exactly how big this house is before you buy so there are no surprises. My daughter is 2.5 and the house is just the right size for her. I would say 5 and under is the ideal age range. We did a LOT of modifications (adding screens because bats love roosting in the open eaves!) But my daughter loves it.
