" ... The playhouse is sturdy. ... "
" ... Some assembly required of course but great buy for the price compared to anything local of the same material ... "
" ... Cute but very cheap wood. ... "
" ... The quick set up it was easy to put together good quality wood ... "
" ... The cedar smells great but is kinda delicate. ... "
" ... My kids really like it and it is very sturdy. ... I called the company about the broken hinge and they were VERY nice and apologetic and quickly sent me 2 new hinges (I guess they sent me 2 because they anticipate the 2nd one breaking and I'd need a 3rd?!). ... "
" ... The reason it took so long is because I had to screw all the screws in, by hand (no power drill) It went together easy enough. ... "
" ... But that also means it’s a very soft wood. ... "

" ... There was a broken piece that attaches the roof base to the body of the house. ... "
" ... The predrilled holes don’t match up well either. ... "
" ... There are no screw holes in some cases and even though I used the proper screws they came out slightly at the other end - so now I need to put something there so my kids dont get hurt by the sharp screw ends. ... "
" ... I have chickens and you need the large openings closed for weather ( but make sure there is ventilation). ... "
" ... Edited review: now giving 2 stars because the roof is starting to split and peel on several pieces of wood after only having for 4 months. ... "
" ... The holes are not predrilled and the wood was awful and continuously cracked and splintered during assembly. ... "
" ... Some pieces came with a split in the wood and some pieces were peeling already. ... Other pieces you couldn't even start putting the screw in before it split in two. ... "
" ... Poor material Falling apart already ... "
