Purchased this for our 4 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Very pleased with the quality and found this to be the best priced play house on the internet. Delivery was a little later than stated by a couple of hours but would definitely recommend one garden to family and friends.

This house is a dream! My little girl is over the moon. My husband and his dad put it up in half a day and it’s so so lovely. We painted it inside and out and we couldnt ask for a nicer house. We are all over the moon. Would recommend this house and company to anyone. A must!

It's a great playhouse, but some warnings about putting it up. Firstly, the design is slightly different to that advertised here. The roof is now built with shiplap timber and the entire structure comes in six large panels that you screw together. The largest of these panels are the front and back walls - they are both 225cm x 240cm, so check that you have sufficient clearance to get them into your garden. The playhouse is easy enough for two careful people to put together but the structure does need a little shoring up - I added some cross bracing with 34mm timber on the side panels to eliminate any "wobble". A couple of extra beams across the roof have also helped. The quality of the boards was largely OK, though some minor repairs using filler and nails were needed before painting. I would recommend Googling "Assembly of FP Loft 2015" to find and download the current instructions - these will give you some insight into what you're letting yourself in for. Overall, I'm pleased with the result, though may not have purchased if I knew that I'd need a side return to get it into the garden...

2 stars only because now it's in place the kids love it. One panel damaged. Another sent, took another week to arrive. Replacement also damaged. Would take another week for another replacement. Husband then spent our own money and time building a panel himself so the house was in place for birthdays. (ONE GARDEN COMMENT: Please accept our sincere apologies for any accidental panel transit damage. We are now in contact with both you and the manufacturer to investigate, as we were unaware of the full history due to your direct dealings with the manufacturer. We are though pleased that your children are now enjoying their playhouse.)

A mixed review, delivery was not complete and driver just shrugged when I informed him of this, but customer services was efficient and the missing parts were sent promptly. Unfortunately there were still bits missing, plastic for diamond in door and one of the walls had the top protective layer of wood missing, even though the playhouse is lovely and was quite straight froward to construct. Good value for money and my little one is pleased.
