The cottage is lovely, and my toddler has really taken possession of it! It was very simple to construct, looks nice, and I'm sure will last a few years of imaginative play. I would have given the item 5-stars, but I do find the doors disappointing as they are quite flimsy, made worse by there being a single centrally located latch/catch; unless the door is pushed at the central point it latches in a bowed position. I think this could easily be resolved with a tiny design change, by having two latches/catches, top and bottom.
