The Shire Pixie playhouse provides a remarkably enthralling platform for all sorts of fairytale dreams and games in an oh so cutesy setting that will get their imaginations flaring! Whether it be goblins, elves, leprechauns, mischievous sprites or indeed a pretty pack of pixies your little ones contend with, the Pixie playhouse really makes the perfect setting for it all.
Large, airy and fully opening windows let in lots of light at the front of the building while a canopy overhangs for a smattering of protection against the British elements. The roof, tastefully edged with a wavy trim at the overhang, is supported by mini banisters on either end. All in all, the resultant effect will be nothing short of magical for the little mites.
Quality smooth-planed tongue and groove soft wood is used in the construction of both the walls and floor while OSB (Oriented Strand Board) makes up the roof of the Pixie playhouse. The building is treated inside and out with a water base coat of honey brown for initial protection. It is advised that a top coat be applied within 3 months of setup so as to add further protection and longevity. Comes with all fixings and instructions for assembly at home. Will require the help of just one more set of hands in most cases.

Thank you, your comment/review has been submitted.
"Instructions were a bit vague but the playhouse went together really well. Good product that my son and his friends love. Altogether a good buy. Delivery was a day late which was frustrating. Customer service staff were friendly and polite. Have painted it cornflower blue with white rails, windows and doors. Looks fantastic!!!" [2012/1/8, 4/5 stars]
"Exellent house our little girl loves it an cant get her out of it, very easy to put together and very well made, and came with every thing you need to finish it, so no extra trips to the shops" [2010/11/7, 5/5 stars]
"Great little house." [2010/9/3, 5/5 stars]
"Great playhouse but had to chase up delivery after failing to arrive on day promised. Took a while to construct and needed few coats of paint, probably best done prior to constructing. Now painted cream with pink window and door frames, and my daughter is delighted with it. Also found it easier to glue beading on to avoid damaging windows panes when nailing on." [2010/8/30, 4/5 stars]
"The house is very nice. Our kids love it. The manufacturer was fast to respond to replace parts damaged during shipping. The instruction manual was a nightmare and basically not readable. However, you can set this house up with a little commen sense." [2010/4/24, 4/5 stars]
"I was very pleased with the quality of this product, also how quickly it was delivered. The grandchildren were so excited when they saw it on Christmas morning." [2010/1/25, 4/5 stars]
"Arrived on time, good notification of item arriving. Effiecient service" [2010/1/25, 4/5 stars]
"For the price this is a lovely little playhouse, an instant hit with the kids, delivery company were very informative and helpful even when I changed the delivery address at the last minute. Construction did take a couple of hours inc the help of a joiner only suggestion would be a stronger latch for the door as the one supplied doesn't keep the door shut." [2010/1/23, 4/5 stars]
"Lovely Playhouse, exactly as stated. Easy to assemble. Very pleased!" [2010/1/14, 5/5 stars]
"The playhouse is good quality at a reasonable price. It took two of us about 7 hours to put together. instruction pictures and writing were a bit small and blurred but the only tricky bit was with the window hinges. Our daughter loves it and it sits nicely in the garden." [2010/1/13, 4/5 stars]
"Fantastic playhouse. Kids love it! Very good quality but took a long time to put up (would consider paying the professionals if we were to do it again!)" [2010/1/13, 5/5 stars]
"A super playhouse and excellent value for money. If you paint it, which you should, allow 3-4 days to do the job, and paint in sections before assembly. It looks terrific." [2010/1/13, 5/5 stars]
"Lovely quality, easy to follow assembly instructions. Some bits (eg window frames) quite fiddly. Verandah design not great and interior front wall needs some extra braces to prevent the occurrence canting. A little sap leaking in places. Otherwise a super item, My 2 and 5 year olds are very pleased with it. 2 coats of Cuprinol Garden Shades and it's fit for a king and queen!" [2009/10/9, 4/5 stars]
"Pieces were well finished and the playhouse was easy to assemble." [2009/10/4, 5/5 stars]
"i'd recommend spending some money on decent quality screws as the ones it comes with are the world's cheapest. its worth buying a load of Spax screws as you can then assembly with just a makita electric screwdriver and not have to drill every hole. more tricky than an ikea wardrobe to put together but i felt very manly at the end. my daughter loves it. also recommend tea towels for curtains (ikea or heals depending how posh you are)." [2009/5/13, 4/5 stars]
