thoak90: It was easy to assemble but the one I received was flawed because half of the roof was not able to fold in. I ended up just taping it. If I didn't there'd be a big opening on the top.

aguasdemarco: This product was described by my grand daughter as the "perfect" house for her 18" dolls and their furniture with the added plus that she can go inside the house and play with the dolls.
The house fits her18" doll furniture including a farmhouse style table and chairs and hutch, a two-doll bunk bed, and a couch.
The house would best be left assembled if you have the space. I think it would fit under some models of loft-twin size beds if you did not use the chimneys. If you can do carpentry, framing the inside of the house on the floor and four corners and ceiling line would lend stability if you want to keep the house assembled. The roof tabs are a little precarious, but can be taped inside if you plan to keep the housed assembled.
The house could ideally be made of a thicker cardboard.

JustaMoM: This house has been played with and coloured on for 3 years now and it is still standing and still getting play by our 3 kids. It's been one of the best purchases we have ever made. Our kids, 6, 5 and 2 still find spots to colour and they find all kinds of ways of playing with the house.

Amazon Customer: My grandchildren enjoyed playing in the house and colouring it, but it wasn't as sturdy as I had hoped.

PAUL BRADSHAW: As a parent, the thing I like most about this house is the ease of assembly and disassembly, and the small amount of space that it takes up when it is folded down. A frequent problem with large toys like this is that they are great fun at first, but eventually the child loses interest and you then have a lot of floorspace devoted to something that is not being played with. My 5 year old daughter got this house for Christmas and loved it, but sure enough after a week she was not quite so excited with it. I found it very easy to fold it down and put it away, and it occupies very little space when folded. (I measured the dimensions when folded to be 35 inches by 20 inches by 4 inches). Now that we have been having 1 or 2 snow days every week, I have been bringing the house back out for snow days and then putting it away again. Of course when the house has been away for a few days my daughter gets excited with it when I bring it out again and it has been very helpful in occupying those interminable snow days.
A playhouse is always fun for children, but the really nice thing about this one is that it is meant to be colored and drawn on. Both my 5 year old and 10 year old...

OutlawPoet: First, the not so great:
LOL - okay, so I read in some of the reviews that this thing is big, but I thought, "It couldn't be that big."
Um...I was wrong. This house is huge! First and foremost, make sure you've got room for it. My daughter is a tall 2-year-old. It could fit six 2-year-olds with room leftover. It takes up a ton of space. And, since it's cardboard, it's not feasable to keep it outside.
In addition, like some of the other reviewers, I did need to use some packing tape on the roof to keep it closed and stable. Since I had to do that, the fact that you can collapse and store it becomes a moot point. I'd have to remove all the packing tape each time.
The markers that come with the box dry out really quick.
Finally, the shipping seems expensive until you note the size and the weight of the box.
Now, the great things about it:
The quality of the house is amazing. This is durable, cute and my daughter loves it. It seems like it will stand up to a lot of play.
The illustrations are adorable and begging to be colored. When my daughter realized she could color her house, her face lit up.
It's easy to put together....
