Backyard Discovery Aspen Cedar Wooden Kids Playhouse Cottage with Play Kitchen, Snack Bar, Picnic Bench, Dinner Bell, Mailbox, Dutch Door, Flowerpot Holders, Toy Lights, Country Style for Outdoor Play

This was a great purchase! We have had up to 5-6 little girls playing at one time and it provides plenty of activities inside and outside! The construction is good quality and it is heavy enough to stand up to higher winds. We put a concrete stepping stone floor in the one we purchased.

I saw all the reviews for this little house and decided to buy it for my infant daughters room and take it to the next level.The little basic faucet it comes with is cute and all but not good enough for what I envisioned. I bought a whole new wooden kitchen and fully stocked it with play food, pots and pans and of course appliances. I put some LED motion lights for lighting, an RGB strip for fun and a rug for comfort. I also added plexiglass to the back window so that toy food could be cut on the counter and not fly out of the house. And of course every kitchen needs a landline phone (yes it's a working toddler toy phone).This was a huge project to take on. The building and painting is no joke, but WOW did it turn out gorgeous. I do have one complaint though; the bottom half of the door has a hinge with springs that will force the door shut. I suppose that's OK if you're using the house outdoors, otherwise it would open with the wind but my toddler smashed his fingers because of it. I did however call customer service and they immediately sent me regular hinges without a spring at no cost, so I am thankful for that.My toddler plays in this house almost everyday and has so much fun. It's big enough for me to get in and stand up (I'm 5' 2"). It's probably the best purchase I've made on Amazon. I really like that it's all wood because it means you can screw on things wherever you want and be creative. However, the smell of the cedar wood was extremely potent and because it was built indoors, it took a while to air out but the paint also helped tone it down. It is extremely sturdy and because of the rug, easy to push and pull around.All in all I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. This little house brings immense joy because of its aesthetic. It was an expensive project but worth the delight in my childrens' eyes for years to come.

I just completed the Aspen Playhouse for my grandkids over Christmas. It's beautiful, well designed, and sturdy. But it's what's under-the-hood that most impressed me. I've been building self-assemble furniture for thirty years. Generally they are made of cheap particle board and designed for a few years of use before they head straight to the landfill. There are typically missing parts. And the instructions are in incomprehensible hieroglyphics and completely ambiguous illustrations. Not this. Every part was here. Every screw, nut, and bolt was in an individual packet and clearly numbered. And most of them contained A FEW EXTRA just in case you lost one. What a gracenote!!! The house is made out of soft pine - sturdy but easy to screw into. Every piece was individually numbered. And the instructions. . . Oh the instructions!!!!! Clearly written by a native English speaker with a knowledge of human factors engineering. They know what questions you'll likely have and what mistakes you're likely to make. Each page is dedicated to a single step with clear illustrations and number references so you know exactly what goes where. Each page includes a note in red caps whenever you're likely to encounter an ambiguity. I cannot tell you how rare this attention-to-detail is in the self-assemble industry. I worked on this for about six hours straight from start to finish. It was a pleasure from beginning to end. At the end I took the extra step to affix the Backyard Discovery nameplate to the front of the unit. Why? I could have just skipped it. What's the point, right? But I felt these guys really earned it. Kudos to you whoever you are. I'd have given this six stars if I could.

Quite a terrible product and cheaply made. First, UPS didn’t deliver the box in good condition, it was all jacked up. As I opened it, I quickly realized that the material wasn’t packed in a way that could protect it when shipped. Regardless, I attempted to pull it out and see if I it would be an easy enough salvage, and most of the material had already broken apart or come undone. The wood is pretty cheap, but their method of holding the piece together was via staples and very little glue. So even if delivered in perfect condition, there is no way the preassembled panels would stay together… especially long term. Call Amazon and they were great, refunded me and offered to come pick this up. But this was a terrible purchase and caused a lot of headache from simply unpacking it. Didn’t even get to attempt to assemble because it was completely falling apart as I unpacked it.An extra note, I called the manufacturer before calling Amazon to address the problem, and gave them an opportunity to fix the problem. Ie, can y’all just bring out a new set and build it for me. They refused and the best they could offer was to send “replacement parts”… pretty much the entire product was damaged, so I said “well, I need the entire thing replaced. They said I would have to take pictures of everything and request each part piece by piece, showing pictures of everything and wait for them to make a decision on it all. It was so cheaply made, I just decided to return it. Some things in life are just not worth your time or energy. This one was of them ….
