Loving the playhouse! My husband put it together alone (due to the current pandemic) across 3 days and, while it was a lot of work, he reported that the directions were mostly clear and materials set-up well (all hardware needed for certain steps was paired together, for example). Kids are loving it so far! Our4-year-old does have to duck down a bit to go from the inside to the deck, but not a big deal. Our one-year-old is mostly enjoying the lower level so far (and opening and closing the door; very exciting. ;-D).  Looks beautiful (not an eyesore!) and very happy with the purchase.
