My son is 2 and loves this playhouse! He really likes the doorbell, shutters, and built in seat. However, the parents did not love putting this together. The holes were not pre-drilled, so a drill was required to get the screws in. Some places didn't even have a mark to indicate where the screw was supposed to go, and it took us a few tries to get those into the right spot resulting in some extra holes in the playhouse. The grill holes didn't line up properly, so we were only able to get 3 of the 4 screws in there. And this isn't lack of experience putting things together, we had 4 adults trying to figure this thing out. Love the playhouse itself, just wish the assembly process was better.

My mother bought this for my children (ages 2.5 and 1.5) in May. We set it up on Memorial Day and it was super easy to put together. My kids throughly enjoyed playing in it and the box it came in (even though the doorbell doesn't work). We immediately called the company and they sent us a door. Upon receiving the door another phone call wa made and they sent the doorbell (correct broke piece). That doorbell doesn't work either. I then called the company again and explained everything to them again (which they already had on file because the woman I was speaking to told me about the wrong part being sent originally and I hadn't mentioned it yet. Today, I got what is now the THIRD doorbell and this one doesn't work either! Seriously?! I am beyond frustrated! I know it's not my batteries because I have tried two different brands.

I bought this for my three grandsons. 3,2 and 1 year. They loved it. I found only one problem, so far, Between the door hinge and the mailbox overhang, there is a very small gap close to hinge, where little fingers can and did get pinched much to the surprise of the 1yr old. The 2yr also got his fingers pinched. The overhang on the mailbox was really poor planning. The kids were having a good time with it regardless. I guess they will have to learn where to place their fingers or stock up on bandaids.

My granddaughter immediately fell in love with this cottage. It was fairly easy to put together with a stable frame. I would say the roof of it wasn't as sturdy as the rest but once put together it was fine. She enjoys the doorbell, sometimes a bit too much! The sink she hasn't had a whole lot of use out of yet but she is only 16 months, so she doesn't quite know what to do with it. I am sure she will. The shutters in one window is a nice touch my grandchildren play peekaboo with them all the time. I would recommend this to parents who want their children's imagination to grow.
