This is such a cute little playhouse! My 3 year old absolutely loves it! I think it's the perfect size for the suggested age of 3-5... it would be nice if it were a bit bigger so that they could use it a little longer, but that's about the only complaint I can think of. It took my husband about 1 full afternoon to put it together (5 hours roughly) and he said it was a pretty smooth/easy process.
