Great playhouse

I purchased this playhouse for my Granddaughter’s 4 th birthday, she loved the house and specially the door and the curtains. Even before we were finished putting it together, she was in it and playing. Not to bad to put together but the worst part was putting the hinges on the doors, please come up with something better.

Playhouse review Cedar Playhouse

Just assembled the playhouse for my 3yr! It was very easy to set up and instructions were clear and simple. Great project to do fast and easy. My family and neighbors haven't stopped playing in it. I love the natural cedar wood that will last a long time as it stays outside next to our sandbox. My son helped assemble it which gave him confidence in completing tasks and working with basic tools and following instructions. Would recommend for anyone who strives to have their kids playside and be active with their imagination. Fairly heavily with the box, so be careful with lifting. Love this product and carefully throughout design. 10/10

Entertainment for hours!

It was so easy to put together and extremely sturdy. It quickly became the neighborhood hit. Our neighbors kids came over and all the kids had so much fun using their imagination playing with the kitchen (playing restaurant, house) planting flowers and getting the mail. I would recommend it for all!

Charming and Sturdy Backyard Playhouse

The Mystic Playhouse is such an adorable addition to our backyard! My three young kids absolutely love all the charming details, especially the split Dutch door with its mounted mailbox and real mail slot, plus the working doorbell. Inside, it has a cozy feel with the sweet window curtains and the included stovetop and sink. We can’t wait for warmer weather so we can plant flowers in the window pots and make it even more special. It truly encourages creativity, learning, and endless adventures. I also appreciate that it’s made from cedar, so it feels sturdy and durable. Everything was packaged well, and the assembly directions were clear and easy to follow. Highly recommend!

This playhouse is absolutely adorable!

This playhouse is absolutely beautiful and a huge hit with my daughter for her birthday! The quality is impressive the wood and materials feel very heavy and durable, so I know it will last. Regarding assembly: be prepared to spend some time on it. While the instructions weren't hard to follow, it is quite time-consuming to put together. However, seeing how much she loves it makes the effort totally worth it. Highly recommend for the quality alone

Don't buy. Way too fragile to last.

Do not buy this if you want it to last. The wood start splitting as soon as nails went in, the metal plates bent when even a little force was put on them and it didnt last a single wind storm afger only having it for a day. sams club just told me to put in a claim for home insurance. Terribld.

Do not but this.

Do not buy this. The pilot holes do not line up with the hardware so you basically have to drill your own holes away from the existing pilot holes which does not look clean. This thing is a royal pain to set up. The wood splits when nails go in and the materials are cheap. I am completely disappointed in this purchase. The review system will not allow me to attach a photo demonstrating the hardware and pilot holes not lining up.

Hours of Fun - we added pavers for a floor

Bought this playhouse for our granddaughter who just turned 2. It is just the right size for her. Loved that it shipped from Sam's directly to their house. It took a day for her Dad to put it together with a couple of helpers and she just loves it. We've already had hours of fun with her going in and out the Dutch Door, cooking %26 serving us out the back and peeking through the curtains on the sides. The Dutch Door has open space all around so little fingers can't get pinched and she loves open %26 closing the top part, ringing the bell and peeking out the windows. It is super sturdy too. One tip: Since the playhouse doesn't have a bottom, my son in law went out the next day and bought 12" x 12" pavers to put underneath the house so that it has a floor and sets up a bit from the ground. They extend out on all sides and make the perfect finishing touch! Thanks to Sam's Club for a quality product at a very reasonable price we are super happy with our purchase.

Solid Cedar Fun that Lasts!

We just set up the Backyard Discovery Mystic Cedar Wooden Kids Playhouse from Sam's Club, and it's perfect for our Chicagoland backyard! Build quality is great: solid 100% cedar, sturdy, weather-tough, and has that cute cottage vibe with light brown stain, gray accents, and white trim. The kids go crazy over the working doorbell, mailbox, Dutch door, big windows with curtains, and little play kitchen setup. It feels safe and handles all their rough play no problem. Directions are straightforward—everything's pre-cut and pre-drilled, manual is clear, and the BILT app's 3D steps help a lot. Two adults knocked it out in a full day, easy if you're organized. Kids have been nonstop: ringing the bell, “cooking,” pretending all day long. Can't wait to plant real flowers in those planters this spring. Solid pick—built to last and full of fun!

Adorable playhouse

This Mystic playhouse is adorable, but like other reviewers stated, some of the holes don't line up. My husband is great at all things construction and mechanical so he had no problem making his own. The upper part of the Dutch door was stained from the paper it sat on in the box. Not a big deal since it was on the inside part of the door but for the price, QC could do a better job. Overall, our 2 year old daughter loves it. We laid 20 12x12 squared pavers down as the foundation for the playhouse in our backyard. I added petunias in her little planters and painted some flowers onto 2 old white plastic planters I found in my shed. I planted some cute flowers in there as well to add more character to her play area. My husband stapled a 12 ft string of lights we found at Home Depot. We also added 2 battery operated push lights to the inside. One on each side of the door. That way our daughter and us can easily access it. It reminds us of a little fairytale home. We're overall very happy with our purchase.
