Hayneedle Review

Tweet

You all know my infatuation with CSN Stores. Well hayneedle is very similar.
You think of something you need/want and they have it I GUARANTEE it!!!

They separate items into categories. You click on the category you need at the top and choose your item from there. Helps weed out possibilities a little better. They have Outdoor, Baby, Furniture, Kids, Sports, Outlet and MORE!!! Lots more.

We were VERY lucky to receive the Backyard Discovery Winchester Playhouse and I'M in LOVE!! Yes I said I as in ME am in love!! Avery loves it too, but I think it's great!
It's for ages 3-10 so this really couldn't have come at a better time.

 All the parts

 I was very thankful that most of it was already pre assembled!

 3 sides together and the front and one peak on.

 Yes we need to finish our deck!!!

 Bay Windows attached and the roof assembled.

 All done. Front porch peak on, door on, bench on flower pots on!

 Working Doorbell

 Shutters

 You might notice the bay window doesn't look all that even. I had to cut a couple pieces in order to get them all to fit. So it's not perfect.

 Same with this one.

 Pretty good size. EASILY fit 3 toddlers in there or 2 older kids.

 Flower Pots

 She got to see it for the first time!

I'm 5'6" and can fully stand up inside at the peak!!

I need to take her to Home Depot and let her pick out some flowers. 

We are going to buy some rubber mulch to put inside of it and some pea gravel on the outside. At this point I think it would kill the grass so this is a great option. THEN I'm going to put her kitchen in it which I'm pretty sure will fit PERFECTLY. 

I'll put it out there in the spring/summer/fall and bring it in for the winter every year!

The directions were very easy to follow. All the pieces were stamped with the number they needed to be, so it was pretty easy. 

Because I'm pregnant and needed LOTS of breaks for food and water this took me a total of 6 hours over 2 days, but I don't think that was so bad, and if it had been cooler and I wasn't pregnant, I'd say maybe 4 hours! It would have been easier with 2 people doing it too. Jon didn't help me hardly at all. Just with putting on the shutters and door so he could hold them still while I screwed them together and while putting the porch awning up. That was it. The rest was all me!!!!

I did have to drill 3 holes. While I as putting the 3 main sides together the holes didn't line up. There was a corner piece and they put it on upside down so the holes were on the right and I needed them on the left. So I drilled 3 holes and then cut 4 pieces with a saw and miter box. Other than that, Everything lined up perfectly and was easy to assemble!

ALL ON MY OWN TOO!

If I can do this ANYBODY can do this.
It might be easier to have an assistant, but I got it done. 

Overall Avery really loves her play house. 

Hayneedle has things at a major discount from their MSRP and that's what I love! 

Price: This playhouse retails for $499. On the Hayneedle website it's $399 so 20% off. That's a huge discount.

And I'm glad that I'll have at least 2 kids to keep it busy!!

Overall: ***** the shipping was fast. It was here in 6 days. It actually sat in the driveway for 3 weeks before we finally got it together. Jon was wanting to build a patio to put it on, but that would have been expensive.
