I just got this set also and really like it. I tried ordering at US DS some of the wall parts and the roof and floor pieces to do an expansion, but they were all out of stock except the corners - and the narrow wall section is listed as discontinued. It may be back anyway, I've had that happen with a brand new item before and it was in stock the next time I tried ordering it.

This is a great detailed presentation of this product  :)

I like the outdoors look of the house with the pergola and the climbing plants but I am not so keen about the open plan kitchenette overlooking the loo  :hmm:

Yes, that is pretty strange! And there are also two HUGE windows into the bathroom....

I've got the set as well - and I must admit that I love (nearly) the entire theme.
Though I must admit that I found the interior slightly odd too.
No living room
No Head room (in the sleeping room) ...
A look in from the kitchen right into the bathroom and shower ...

very odd indeed.

However - the kids loved it and played with it a lot.
And it was great watching them play.

But watching them play showed me the one great problem of the set.
There isn't actually room inside to play. Try doing that and you'll knock everything over. Even Brynn (my youngest son of 5) with his tiny hands doesn't manage.
So that's really my big disappointment with the set.
But it is a great set!

Depending on who used the bathroom that's a BIG plus.

Great review Bonnie.  I like this set.  A couple of weeks ago I went to my local Learning Express store to get a few specials and other things.  I have gotten to know the store owner pretty well.  As I was looking I noticed he brought out the summer house already put together.  He asked me if I was interested in it and of course I said yes and asked how much he wanted for it.  He said since you come in here and buy alot that I can have it.  It's a complete set without the box.  I was stunned that he would do that.  It's not a set i would have bought because I'm trying to stick to certain themes but my kids love it.
