Easy to assemble but a drill is a must. Cuts down on time and effort. I found it very easy to assemble by myself. My granddaughter is going to love it. She loves doors, windows peek-a-boo, the door bell and phone. Don't know about outside durability yet but time will tell. From my point of view it will last for years to come.

This was the first major, outdoor purchase I made for my daycare. I chose this one because I don't have a lot of experience with Step2 and I wanted to make sure I was satisfied with the quality of their products before I made a big investment. The kids love it and so do I. It is the perfect size for 2 toddlers, 3 if they don't mind being a little crowded. I put it together myself in under 45 minutes. The only issue I had was that the screw that holds the sink/table on didn't quite line up with the hole and eventually fell off. We popped it back in and it sags a little but the kids couldn't care less. I just bought the Naturally Playful picnic table and intend to purchase another, bigger playhouse as well as a climbing structure in the next few months. I would absolutely buy this again and recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller playhouse.

This cottage set up easily within a half hour. We especially like that it has a floor,a half door and wide windows to see inside.

I purchased one of the cottages through a store website but found this site cheaper. I have two granddaughters age 2 1/2 and 1 1/2. They "visit" each other. I put them outside but it is so hot I moved them into a play room. They love them and love taking their friends that visit to their house. I do wish the holes had been predrilled instead of just showing me where they went. I'm a 60 year old grandmother and found the plastic hard to break through. But overall, I am happy I bought them and would definitely recommend it to a friend. Very economical and like I said, the girls love them and that makes them great to me.

We purchased this for my 18 month old daughter- she loves her "house". She wants to eat her breakfast at her table (in her house) every morning. The only issue I had with this is the assembly, it was time consuming. Overall I would give this an 8 out of possible 10.

We have purchased items before and it seems that the item that was purchased years ago was a thicker plastic compare to now. I like the product but I am disapointed on the material.

I ordered this for my granddaughters ages 2 1/2 and 1 1/2. It is a little small for the two of them but they love it. One loves the doorbell and the other the phone. I put it together fairly easy but it would be so nice if the holes had been drilled. It would be easier with a cordless screwdriver or drill but I was using a manual. There are indent where the screws go but you have to make the hole. I do find that it is a little small for the two of them together, so I just ordered another. Now they can visit each other. The price is nice.

I really like this playhouse. For the price it is a great deal. My son loves it and he is 3. The only thing is he is tall and doesn't have room to grow but for now he enjoys it. My daughter is about to turn one and she likes to get in it and I love the fact that it has a built in floor and it protects them from all the dirt and bugs of the outdoors.
