Step2 Neat & Tidy Cottage Kids Playhouse, Indoor/Outdoor Playset, Interactive Play with Sounds, Made of Durable Plastic, for Toddlers 1.5+ Years Old, Grey

My niece turned two this year and some friends and I went in on this playhouse for her birthday. Since it's plastic, we figured it would survive the elements and whatever a toddler did to it. It was relatively easy to put together. A friend and I assembled it in about an hour (even with a 2 year old "helper"). It does take two people since someone has to put pressure on the pieces while they are being screwed in so they align. And there are no pilot holes for the screws so while technically this could all be done with a manual screwdriver, my advice is to use a drill to make pilot holes first or at least use an electric screwdriver to drive the screws in and then tighten them up with a manual. Be warned that you attach the screws from inside the house. Luckily, I'm a pretty small guy and was able to sit inside to do the screws but even for me there was a lot of bending and awkward contortions.Everything came together pretty nicely and it looks great. The doorbell works but you will need to supply batteries. A set of stickers come with the house so you add the "fire" in the fireplace, the clock, a painting and the house address with those. The "front" door is a half door that swings out and there are some shutters that open and close. A nice feature is the floor has channels built in to help with water drainage.My niece absolutely adores the house. She loves to sit in it and talk on the toy phone that came with house. She pretends to cook and loves to go in and out and climb through all the windows. I'm guessing she will get years of enjoyment out of it and it's sturdy enough that it will probably get passed on to another kid when she outgrows it.

Very happy with the styling of the playhouse with shutters and a seat inside. Easy to open front door with doorbell, mail slot and removable window box for storage. Roomy too. Lots of fun. Assembled by one in about 1 hour.

Love this play house! I added a solar lantern to the outside also! Definitely recommend for littles!

Believe it or not, I used this as a hay hut for my horses for 3 yrs and I am now gifting to my niece who has two young daughters. It has been outdoors and cleaned up beautifully. This is a stripped down photo without the extra paraphernalia, but as I told my niece, this could be used as a "camp" using pillows and a rug, they could bring their computer and use it as their "office," they could cover it with a sheet and make it a spooky house, they could decorate with colorful lights for the holidays, or even store all their toys and make it a huge play box. (Of course, I also suggested it would be great as a "stall" for their rocking horse, too). I would have Loved this when I was a kid, but they didn't exist back in the 50s!

I own a small in-home daycare, and this is just the bees knees! I was back and forth with wood and plastic, and super glad I chose this! My 19yo son and I put it together with a drill in like 1 1/2 hours maybe. It was a quick and easy set up, and super self explanatory. The kiddos LOVE playing in it. It has handled Colorado weather, so holds up, including wild wind. Highly recommend!

GRANDKIDS, AGES 1.5 AND 3.5 LOVE THIS LIL PLAYHOUSE! EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND LIGHTWEIGHT TO MOVE.

It took a while to assemble but is well made and my grandson loves it
