Customer feedback often praises the appearance, play value and instructions, with some noting helpful assembly videos. Other reports describe assembly as a two-person job and mention pieces breaking or wood that seems thin or brittle. Durability experiences vary, including reports of the playhouse holding up in Northeast weather as well as reports of damaged pieces.
