Backyard Discovery Sweetwater White Cedar Wooden Kids Playhouse Cottage with Play Kitchen, Snack Bar, Half Door, Toy Phone, Windows, Flowerpot Holders, Working Doorbell for Outdoor Imaginative Play

We've only had this for about a week, but my kids love it. It's well designed, everything looks good and feels solid. I think my kids will get several years of use out of it. But! Be more prepared than I was and make sure you either have a good level spot for it or pre-build a platform for it so that you aren't scrambling the day before (and then of) a birthday party. It took a couple hours for two of us to put together, but mostly it was pretty simple; just a matter of going through the steps.Oh, and disable the doorbell and pret and it doesn't work. You'll thank me for your continued sanity.

We've had this play house for about 2 years now and couldn't be happier with the purchase! The play house lived indoors for the first year and was graduated to the backyard for year 2. My husband assembled the play house and said it took him a couple of hours (over 2 days) but was fairly simple to do. He also said that the wood was very soft and advised to be mindful when using a drill. We didn't have any pieces split but read that it was a common occurrence with this product. To be honest, the quality of the house has far exceeded our expectations. The product, overall, feels light weight so we were worried about its longevity but it has held up well. All of the additional features are absolutely adorable (kitchen sink, range top, phone, door bell- which we conveniently covered with some thick tape to help mute) and well appreciated by the little girl who it was bought for! If putting outside, we would recommend covering the house with a stain or sealant first. We ended up painting the house a different color (per the request of our daughter and not a project I'd probably attempt to do again) but we made sure to finish with an outdoor grade sealant and it has held up very well. I added two 4inch Terra cotta flower pots and filled with faux flowers, which definitely added that perfect extra touch! My daughter is now 5 and still loves to play in the house. Very cute and great purchase for the price. I have recommended this play house to other family members and will continue to do so!

This playhouse is so cute and well made! For my 1 year old daughter, it’s perfect! Even her older brothers are able to play in there with her as well (3, 6 and 8 yo). I love that it comes with the pots and pans and phone. It’s a simple amount of items to clean up and keep up with. The flower pot area on the front is darling. I am using 4 inch pots here and faux flowers. I plan to add some solar lights as well. Only cons would be the wood was easy to split. Based on other reviews I read before purchase, we were very careful about this but both triangular sunburst pieces on the front did split, one totally in half. We were able to still install it but will need to wood glue it or something. Others mentioned the strange gap in the doorway. I believe the gap is to help keep from pinching fingers and is helpful, but does look funny. The big thing for me is the wood piece that sticks out at the bottom of the doorway to catch the door. For a small kiddo playing with this, such as my one year old who is already unsteady walking, I foresee her tripping on this often. Other than that, I am so impressed and feel it actually makes our yard look nicer, rather than being an eyesore which is huge. I got this on sale for less that $250 and it is definitely worth that and then some!

Overall, we are pretty happy with the design and quality of this house. Assembly did take a good amount of time, but that was expected. The wood is on the softer side, so you do need to be careful using a drill, as it can split if you apply too much pressure—we did have one small piece break off, but otherwise no major issues. A lot of the accessories don’t have pilot holes, which actually allows you to customize placement instead of strictly following the picture. Everything was very clearly labeled and shipped well, and the size is great and very engaging for toddlers. My two-year-old is obsessed with this house. I do wish it came with the little plants shown in the pictures, but overall we are very happy with the quality. We plan to apply wood conditioner and UV protectant to help prolong its life.

my daughter absolutely loves this playhouse. It was super easy to put together and only took me about two hours. It’s very easy to move and I had no issues with any parts.The only thing I wish it also came with where the flower buckets and the flowers that it shows in the photos, but I knew it didn’t come with it when I originally ordered it. As of right now all is well and the doorbell works great. The quality of the Playhouse is really good and is super cute!!

This is the second Brickyard Discovery playhouse of this kind I have assembled. This playhouse is well packaged. The instructions are easy to follow. It took me approximately three (3) hours from start to finish to assembly it all by myself. A few take aways are; the wood is extremely dry. I recommend using a clutch power drill and start at clutch setting of four (4) so you won't run the screw through the wood. Did I mention the wood is extremely very dry! I followed the instructions and ran out of one of the screws needed; but, I was able to compromise with screws from a different bag to get the parts assembled. Other reviews mentioned the plastic strip door hinge breaks. I experienced this with the first Brickyard Discovery playhouse I assembled. I installed additional three (3) spring door hinges to the outside of the door so when the plastic hinge fails the door won't fall off. This playhouse will be sitting outside so I ran a bead of silicone along the roof peak and then sprayed the entire roof with Varathane as a weather protection. The doorbell is very soft sounding. You can barely hear the door bell. Over all the playhouse is very sturdy and safe for our two year old grand-daughter. I would recommend it to be purchased.

So this took me about 6 hours over 2 days to put together mostly by myself with someone helping to hold some things together at times. You definitely need to be handy with a drill and need 2 people, at least for some things. Please do not try to put this together if you don’t have a drill and 7/64 drill bit, you WILL split the wood! The issues I had were A: most of the pre drilled holes for the screws didn’t line up so I had to redrill almost all of them as I went, and then only about 1/3 of the screws that’s needed actually had pre drilled holes anyways; B: a couple boards are held together with a plastic hinge and they were put together BACKWARDS so we had to improvise with that (shown in the picture circled in red you can see how they were put together backwards, the dips in the wood were supposed to be facing up) Those same boards also weren’t long enough so they left a gap at the corner, which wasn’t that big of a deal thankfully but doesn’t look great (if it was any shorter I wouldn’t have been able to put the roof support boards on); C: the same kind of plastic hinge is also the hinge for the door and it’s AWFUL it makes it hard to close. That should have been a metal hinge for sure; D: some of the parts don’t seem that durable, like the side walls. It says to add a coat of wood sealant to it as well to protect it. Overall I really do like it and my daughter loves it so I guess it was worth it, it just could’ve been higher quality as far as the hinges and pre drilled holes. It’s a very cute playhouse and I like it much better than the plastic ones. The phone, sink, and stove toys were a nice touch to make this playhouse stand out from others.EDITED TO ADD: within 3 months, the door fell completely off and there’s no way to put it back on unless they send me a completely new one! 😡 It’s held on only by a flimsy piece of plastic that folds in half. It snapped off at the bend. This piece of plastic should have been a metal hinge since it is meant to move frequently.UPDATE: I sent the seller a message about the door coming off and not only did they send me a new door free of charge BUT they also sent me metal hinges for it!!! 😱It came within a week of sending them a message. Excellent customer service!

i would not recommend this for the price it is. the wood is extremely cheap and has multiple discolored red spots and chips and cracks and it’s very lightweight. the sizing of the wood is also inconsistent leading the house not to be very straight. this is only getting 3 stars because i’m sure my kids would have fun and couldn’t care less about the quality of the wood. it is cute however if it wasn’t for the hassle of taking it apart and packaging it up i would’ve returned it.

Très belle cabane et solide. Des heures de jeu été comme hiver pour notre fils !Le montage est plutôt long mais pas compliqué. Forte odeur de résine les premières semaines mais qui disparaît. Elle est légère à transporter si jamais il faut la déplacer.

I bought this cubby for my son and he absolutely loves it! It’s beautiful, sturdy, and full of fun features like the little kitchen and flower boxes. The white finish looks gorgeous in the backyard, delivery was super fast, and assembly was easier than I expected.

So cute and not too hard to build. Took 2 of us about an hour and half.

Muy bonita. Montaje bien explicado. Recomiendo utilizar máquina de atornillar un poco potente. No se que durará. De momento contenta con la compra.

Great play house, so cute and the kids love it
