 Some on the site seem to be great, yet there's no way I would pay $1000-2000. for a playhouse for my kid.

They're really cute but I think it's more fun to be imaginative with playhouses and such. When I was a kid I found some boards, blocks and assorted "stuff" and made my own playhouse...I made kitchen counters for my mud cakes and I didn't miss having a real playhouse, of course there wasn't such a thing back then LOL. My imagination and creativity got a workout playing in my playhouse. Then, when Lauren was four, we found a really big wooden box and her dad cut a door and two windows out of it...I put curtains in it, a little table and a chair, even an old discarded phone...she seemed to enjoy it at least for a year or so until the bugs invaded...LOL

There's no way I'd pay that much money for something my kids would outgrow in a couple of years. Building something that may not look as perfect, but still functions the same, would be the way I would go.
