The house has most of the essentials but we did have some challenges in the kitchen with some basic utensils like tongs, coffee tamper, baking dish to do cooking. The clips in the oven holding the tray in fall out when the tray is removed which was a bit tricky when checking the roast dinner. The couch is really low to the ground which was a bit challenging for our old backs getting in and out of. The two recliners were in a nice spot and the big dining table was great.
