Remember when your child was a toddler and you bought them a present and they played more with the box it came in? My son is 10 and loves this house. He decorated it with his drawings, he has a blanket in it, he likes to hide in it, everything, he had a lot of fun playing with it. He is tall enough to use a small door despite being a skinny kid. The only negative for us - wish it was stronger, I had to fix it several times.
