Playhouses

[spud912]

How long have you had it? Has it held up to monsoon rains? I am deciding between this and a plastic one and not sure which would fair better come the monsoon season.

We got it in December, so not sure about the monsoons yet. It did handle a tree branch falling on it when my dh was trimming a tree

Haha they do that with the one I've got now. Definitely a kid thing.
Controlled chaos, which wooden bridge are you getting? I've been looking at those too and added one to my amazon cart, it's a 7' long one. But the price just increased 10 bucks yesterday. I want one that will take the dc abuse it'll get and some of them don't sound that sturdy according to reviews.
Nearest Costco is 80 miles away and I don't have a membership. I'll have to go online to check it out.

It was a bridge for another thread. I have the link saved somewhere but not sure where... It wasn't on amazon. It was around $200. If I find the link I will PM you. But dont hold your breath as I am on a diet which makes my brain not work bleh

Forgive me for quoting your post . I am only quoting it to share with you that someone thought it was a real house and tried to fit their bed through the door, and well, the result was not good ::. It was a review on amazon

To Josie, my friend Donna bought this for her kids recently . Its a bit small, but she mostly cares for 1-4 year old kids

Before you sell your home to purchase this play house I highly advise you to read about the slippery slope it can take a child down. Below I am pasting a review from that page for your convenience. ::

5.0 out of 5 stars The culmination of an empire
By Dan gelinas on October 12, 2015
My son started pre-school at a new venue he developed a lucrative business selling his grapes to his fruit addicted classmates. After a few months he developed a following of seedy children that would help him move his supply of cotton candy grapes. We decided he needed more space due to his crew constantly leaving crumbs, toys,and grape stems all over our home. With his earnings we purchased this beautiful house! It was great for a while, our house remained clean! However every day we would find 5 or 6 milk drunk kids passed out in our back yard. My wife and I decide it was time to have a tall with out son. We found him behind his desk, face down in a huge mound of powdered sugar, rotten grapes surrounding him....he screamed something about "his little friends". We knew we had to act...my wife promptly scooped him up, dragged him in the house and let him detox while watching PAW PATROL for 6 hours straight. While he was cleansing I burned the house to the ground and extinguished the pre-fab, lightweight trussed building with 4 gallons of water. Needless to say, my son learned how cold it is a the top of the world at a young age.

I got rid of the playhouses in my yard.I found that the "big"kids wanted to just sit there pretending to watch tv.They would hold the door closed and not let the 2 yr olds in their clubhouse.I replaced them with climbing toys and it worked out so much better.I loved the idea of houses but the reality was constantly not good.

My sister used to work for a toy company that got bought by Posh Tots where they sell play houses like this. She got employee discounts along with sales. When my kids were young, she bought them both their own play houses. They were very well made. All kids play like this. Also, it's not really meant to hold a lot of children. I think it's best for one or two kids. Second, kids want variety. I had this when I started my daycare. I prompty replaced with a bunch of cheap plastic ones. They still played fresh and I have decided to ditch play houses.
