My parent &amp; I bought this for my granddaughter when she was two years old as a Christmas present. She is now almost 6 &amp; she still loves it. When we first got it, we had to buy a rug big enough to go under the opening. During out last move, she now has her "House" in her room! (NO RUG NEEDED!) Needless to say, she has gotten years of enjoyment out of it &amp; I'm looking forward to passing on whenever she decides the time is right.
