We have had a lot of fun playing with this house..my girls will drive their 4wheelers around it to the big window and pretend they're in a drive thru. I love that it is so big and roomy inside and actually has great height so my kids will not outgrow it for many years to come. I like that it has a kitchen inside, lots of room for storing playfood/dishes under the sink and a good amount of shelves. You can choose to put the table inside up or down. My Girls usually can not use this house in the summer because all the walls and roof pieces have rounded edges where they connect and it creats the perfect nooks for wasp nests, spider nests, pincher bugs, ect. So in the summer the thing is swarming with all sorts of bugs and wasps that come out of the wall and roof cracks when you enter the house. When I ordered this, I read that it can be easily moved for mowing the lawn under it..this is NOT true. My husband, FIL, and I move it carefully and after having it for about 6 months, everytime it is moved the walls come apart and the metal rods don't go back into place right because the plastic is warped! The walls are hollow and have holes on the bottoms so they fill up with rain water and you can see the gross mildew inside through the plastic. There is no drain in the sink and it's a pain to get the dirty water that accumulates in it, out. My duaghter's wanted the sweetheart playhouse because it's so pretty but they were okay with getting this one when they found out how small the other was compared to this. I wish this house came in girly colors because the sweetheart one was just too small. Overall, it isn't worth as much as it costs. We had a lot of fun with this house when we first bought it and it would still be a wonderful house if it were sealed better where the pieces connect, didn't have a problem with water accumulating in the walls and sink, didn't fall apart everytime you try to move it, and it would be great if it had a floor and came in girly colors. The only way I would recommend this to a friend is to warn them to build something to place this on before putting together so it would never have to be moved and getting some sort of spray insulation for between the walls and roof.
