I really liked this playhouse because my son can do a lot of different things in it. One side, he plays kitchen - cooking, washing dishes, grilling, etc; another side he does sand and/or water, gelatin play, mud play, bubbles, etc; the other side is an empty side where he can do so much from play dough, eating his snack, the idea is endless. 

My husband put it together by himself. I loved the small mesh bag that came with it and the little accessories for kitchen and sand area.
