5.0 out of 5 stars My niece loves it, November 25, 2004

By 

Cool Aunt Amy (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Very Own House Cottage (Toy)

I think the people a couple reviews down are confusing this playouse with something else.

I gave this very same playhouse to my niece, Amanda, 2 years ago (she was 3) and she still plays with it! Am buying another one to keep at my house for when she comes over.

It has held up through tons of sleepovers, "tea parties" and decorating. It's still one of her favorite toys.

5.0 out of 5 stars NOT SAME AS WALMART PLAYHOUSE!, November 23, 2004

By 

Proud Father of 2 (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Very Own House Cottage (Toy)

MyVeryOwnHouse is NOT the same playhouse sold at WalMart or Target! MyVeryOwnHouse (MVOH) is MADE in USA; others are made in CHINA. MVOH is single piece construction with FACTORY GLUED CORNERS, verses six separate panels and 17 tabs. MVOH is almost double the size! 14 square foot of floor space verses 7.65. Big enough for 1 adult and three children to comfortably play/ color inside! Heavier gauge cardboard, more coloring area and NO SHARP TABS or ROOF OVERHANG, (which stick out right at a child's face height). MVOH includes 8 JUMBO markers, verses 5. MVOH has been tested and certified as a safe toy for children as per the ASTM (US), CHPA (Canada) and CE (European Union) regulations. MVOH is 97% pre-assembled, simply expand it like an accordion, flip up the ATTACHED roof halves for play or do the reverse to fold flat for storage (and the directions are printed on the playhouse with pictures so they never get lost!) MyVeryOwnHouse is the Best! A High Quality cardboard playhouse at an exceptionally great value!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite Simply: The Best, November 25, 2004

By 

Buckykatt (Lakeland, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: My Very Own House Cottage (Toy)

BEST PRESENT YOU CAN GIVE A KID.
Keeps them busy for hours!

Kids love it because they can take their sleeping bags, stuffed animals, small tables & chairs, toys and favorite adult inside.

It sets up in minutes (and I mean 5 minutes, not 95 minutes!).

DON'T CONFUSE THIS WITH THE OTHERS! It's nothing like the cheapo ones that are dangerous (lots of sharp corners and tabs that stick out), really small, assembly is a nightmare.

Plus selfishly, it's fun being the one that gives the "FAVORITE" gift. :)
