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 playhouse, her face lit up.

It’s easy to put together. If you can put together a gift box, you can do this. It took me about 5 minutes flat to put it together and that was with my daughter insisting on helping!

All in all, a really nice play house. Just make sure you’ve got the room for it! More information at My Very Own House
