For starters, the LEGO Creator houses are awesome. They are well constructed, can be built 3 different ways, and have a lot of neat features. This set fits that bill. The reason for it's somewhat strange name - 'Apple Tree House'. That is because there is an apple tree in the yard. :-) The name had me scratching my head until I built the apple tree.

I got this set, among others, for my dad. He's in his 70's and can't get around like he used to, but he really enjoys building the Creator houses. Based solely on his experience with the construction I believe this set is a little more difficult than some of the others, even larger sets which he has built. The main reason is because the roof over the garage is a couple of bricks lower than the main roof. This really confused my dad. Also, LEGO instructions are difficult to follow sometimes. This doesn't take much away from the set. It is pretty much as fun as all the other sets and almost as pretty.

It has several really neat touches - satellite dish, basketball goal, lawn mower, and of course an apple tree. :-) It even has a downspout and outside spigote.

My dad said it should have came with a vehicle to pull into the garage.

I bought this Lego set for my 11 year old daughter. She's a pretty smart kid and good at figuring things out. This toy kept her busy a good while assembling it. This isn't her first Lego set, she has quite a few random pieces and a few other sets. While it is reasonably challenging to build and cool to look at, once she built it, she never took it apart. I don't know if that was a "been there done that" thing, or she didn't care to figure it out again, or what. She disassembled and rebuilt her other sets however. Overall, a reasonably priced (by Lego standards),fun toy that is pretty challenging for the average kid to put together.

I bought this set for my daugter who just turned 9. I thought it was one of the few that wasn't totally geared to boys. She loved putting it together and now has it displayed in her room. As with all Legos, you can "play" with it gently but something usually falls apart; although easy enough to repair. I bought this online because I was short on time for shopping around and hadn't seen it in the stores. But within a month of purchasing, I did see this set at Toys R Us for cheaper than what I paid! That's what you get for convenience but it was worth it.

My six-year-old son put this together in a couple hours, all by himself (following the directions). He loves Legos and has been asking for this for a while. A great addition to his already large Lego collection!

This toy is very good and I like the garage and the apple tree but here are the cons - it doesn't have much room - you can not fit lego people on the 2nd floor - but I loved to build it and it was very fun - I am nine year old

This is a great Lego kit.
There are three different models and every week we built a different one.
There is good combination of small and big pieces which help with the motor skills.
My 6 years old loves it.

Overall I agree with the other reviewers, so I won't go into great detail about the sturdiness, etc of the product. I just want to comment that my son was very disappointed that we couldn't fit even his smallest Lego car into the garage. The way the door swings up makes the entry very low. Other than that, it looks good (we only did the Apple Tree House so far) and was pretty easy to build.

I bought this Creator House kit for my son's 4th birthday. It's more difficult than the other Creator sets he's done, especially when it comes to building the roofs, so we worked through them together. Since then, he's built each house version at least 2-3x, and requires less and less help each time. The design and details are so interesting that it keeps him engaged. Incidentally he picked out a Harry Potter Lego set yesterday and once we got it home, he decided he would rather build his Creator house again!

I purchased this for my 7yr old daughter who likes to play with her older brother's set. I couldnt find a decent well reviewed pink set of leggo that would challenge her. This set included that plans for 3 different house styles. The roof lifts off and it you have little leggo figures you can build it and play in it. The lawn mower, mailbox, apple tree and basketball court are cool things kids identify with.

This was an expensive set but I beleive it will engage her imagination and give her many more hours of fun.

Bought this to play with 4 years old son, we had a lot of fun on it.
You can build a lot of different houses from the given blocks if you have
a good imagination.

The bad part, just ONE day after I received it, the price on amazon dropped for about
20%, and customer support says there is no price match possible.
