Kids love it!
Easy to assemble and our 1 year old and 4 year old love it! We've had a lot of wind lately and I was worried about it possibly blowing over since its plastic but it has held up really well and hasn't moved at all with the strong winds.

Charming Cottage
Directions are easy to understand but screws are hard to start as there are no holes you have to create them with the screws. The stickers were in horrible condition and looked wrinkled as they were not packaged well. Overall not thrilled with this purchase for the price.

    Wonderful playhouse with lots of fun features
    Very pleased with this playhouse. Lots of fun details to keep my little one engaged. It's one of the bigger plastic playhouses available which will give my kiddo more time to grow into it. I expect to get many years of use out of it. We currently have it set up in our basement so can't comment on how it holds up to cold (Ottawa) winters. Took 1 star off because assembly could have been easier. As others have noted in their reviews, there are no pilot holes, only indents in the plastic to indicate where screws should go. This does make assembly a bit more challenging. To make things easier, I strongly encourage others to drill pilot holes first and to use an electric screwdriver as there are a lot of screws. I put this together by myself and it took me about an hour. Also, I found that the hole for the doorbell wasn't big enough for the doorbell assembly so I had to use an utility knife to enlarge the hole. Not a big deal but for the price, I would expect a bit more quality control. Otherwise, I'm super happy with the purchase.

    Worth Every Penny!
    This playhouse (indoor for us) is everything, and my 22 month old son loves it! Assembly was very easy, and there being no pre-drilled holes wasn't a big deal. I'm glad that there wasn't an indentation for the house number sticker, so I replaced it with my son's birthday on the side. The house is a lot bigger than I thought, and can fit 5 of my younger cousins it it all at once. My son will have years of fun with this toy!

    The. Harming Cottage is Charming
    My two grandchildren love the little Step2 Cottage. They are 3 and 5 years of age and fit nicely in the cottage. I can even enter and sit on the floor and play with one of them at a time inside. It is smaller inside than it appears on the picture. My rating of four was because, it came with a crack in the roof which was a bit disappointing. For the price, it is a nice little playhouse. Must admit, it would have been nice to have more working parts instead of just stick on pictures. Regardless to the stick on pictures, the children love it; especially, the ringing doorbell. Recommend this little cottage for small backyards like mine.

    Perfect playhouse
    This was gift for my 2 grandchildren 5 & almost 1. It's a perfect size for them both. It was pretty easy to assemble. The only complaint was that the screw holes were not pre-drilled so it made screwing in the hard plastic difficult. I would recommend this playhouse as its big enough for older kids as well. On a side note Kudows to the support team. I accidentally put in a wrong phone number to schedule a delivery. They emailed me so I could fix the problem and the shipment arrived on the delivery date.

    Charming Cottage
    We ordered this for my 4 year old granddaughter. She loves it. I think it was a little pricey for the small size. Also doesn't have much in it so don't forget to get small chairs, play food, etc.

    My daughter had the "Storybook Cottage" when she was small and absolutely loved "her" house. Now, years later, we just got this one for my granddaughter and she loves it just as much. She has picked out flowers and a welcome mat and we also got her toy food and dishes and it keeps her busy for hours. Highly recommend!

    Spectacular Playhouse
    This playhouse is beautiful and my daughter love it! Room enough for two or more children inside and it's tall to play for years. The only thing that I don't like are the decals. Some of them are taking off.

    Great Product and very durable.
    The Charming Cottage was purchased for a child care center. The children love it! They are having fun with all the special features. Four preschool aged children can play in it at a time. The teachers like the open window concept so children can always be observed. My only complaint is the stickers are not sticking very well.

    BUY IT – you and the kids will love it!
    Okay, this is such an amazing playhouse for my children and for me! From a looks perspective, it the perfect size for kids and it's adorable – from the sticker decorations, to the doorbell, a skylight (I mean so cute right!?) and the potted plant holders for fake flowers – nothing is left out. Assembly is a breeze – quick (10 minutes), light pieces and simple to put together. The quality is great – it's sturdy and can withstand kids banging on it and extreme outdoors temperatures. The ordering/shipping process was easy too; it was delivered by a freight shipper due to the large box size. Even still, shipping was seamless – the freight shipper called and scheduled a time when I could be home to receive the delivery. Surprisingly, the box was light enough for me to push through my tile house to the backyard (yay!) and flip over to pull the pieces out. My kids (and our neighbor's kids!) gleamed/screamed with delight when they saw the house… they walked right in and began playing. We've already had picnics and tea parties in it… BBQ's are next.  What I love the most – it's a place for the kids to practice imaginary play instead of sitting behind a TV, tablet or smart phone. Get it – you'll love it too.
