It looked BEAUTIFUL fully assembled and furnished sitting next to our twinkling Christmas tree in the dim light of dawn Christmas morning. We also purchased the horse and carriage and had them parked in front. We haven't noticed any "flimsy" issues so far.
my daughter loves it and i am sure any child will but the quality is not that great. The plastic is hard and on the thinner side on certain items like the stairs. a small piece had already snapped off 2 days after christmas.
