It is tiny, my 3 year old is the perfect size but I have had my 9 & 11 year old sleep in it. It has a fabric cover over metal bars. You can split the sides apart and make it all open or push them together for a "closed" house with a door. I had never seen one of these in person and I always wondered how was it worth the cost. Her favorite gift by far at Christmas. This makes it a bit hard to put together but makes it washable with is super nice as kids tend to bring food into play houses.
In the end I am VERY glad I bought this. I debated giving it to my 5 year old for Christmas but in the end I gave it to my 3 year old an I am glad I did. Anyhow, we love it. My three year old spends HOURS in it playing.
We act out every fairy tale ever written from Goldilocks to the 3 pigs. Great gift. We had no trouble putting it together though it did take 30 minutes and full concentration. It is the perfect size for their bedroom. They love it. We bought this for our 3 and 1 year old daughters. They have played in it everyday for weeks. We love the details.
Less imposing than a plastic house. Sturdier than a typical tent. It's very cute and makes it easy to get in and out of since it's also divided down the middle.
The only downside to it, was putting it together. I would recommend this to anyone. You have to make sure everything is snapped together perfectly. When pushed together as a house, the inside is very roomy. Aside from that, I would still buy it all over again.
She absolutely loves it. It came with the stove and she also has a baby bed inside. It took me almost 2 hours, some of the poles were hard to push together, and putting the actual tent over the structure was a bit difficult. Its a beautiful little house, probably about 4ft x 4ft. I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 2 1/2 year old daughter.
We did not buy all the accessories, so she just takes whatever she wants with her inside the house. I have read some reviews where they say to have 2 people, which would definitely cut build time in half.
Besides it not being the easiest thing to build (at least it was easy to get out of the packaging because we all know how hard that is anymore), it is really awesome. We all absolutely love it. My 2 year old is the perfect size for it. I usually build all of our furniture myself and this wasn't easy so it does take some experience. The fabric/pole construction does seem a little rickity, but I would rather a lightweight toy fall over on my daughter than an extremely heavy plastic one.
I would say it is a little difficult to put together as the instructions are extremely helpful but once you get the idea of how the whole frame is supposed to fit together it goes faster. I also did need my husbands help with putting the fabric cover on the frame in the end, so it's not a one person job. Very pretty design, and very big. (She's a monkey and will climb on everything so I figure everything is bound to fall over, and so far I've been right). The cottage is great.
I also figured out quickly I should use a hammer to fit the metal pieces together onto the plastic parts. She loves having her own little space.
