Recently purchased Vantage Summerhouse and the wife and I are pleased with the finished result. We employed someone to erect it after the base was prepared and they managed to finish within one day.There would be one or two slight improvements that we believe could make the unit slightly better without too much of an additional cost,however, we are pleased that we have the summerhouse in place.Will I think be especially useful in spring and winter sunshine.

Good quality product, solid and a great size for the kids. Good delivery. Instructions are unclear, the whole frame is turned around between steps without any indication, you need to look carefully at the position of the long bars running across the top being either on the outside or inside of the long bars running up the ladders to ensure the corner supports fit between the top ladder rungs.

The monkey bars are well made, delivery and communications were good and efficient, however the assembly was a nightmare. The holes in the wood should be pre-drilled, or at least marked. We had to guess where to put the screws and I am sure some did not go to the right places. Instructions were not clear at all. I am not sure we connected all the panels correctly! I asked for assembly service before I purchased the item but it was not available! Would not have purchased if I knew it would be so much trouble.

We are very pleased with our "super-shed" it's added genuine, usable space to our home for a growing family. Dunster House were great throughout the sales and installation process, the standard of materials used in construction and the workmanship on assembly is really good. With a base and electrical work it has ended up being a substantial investment for us but worth every penny.

This is a brilliant play frame. It is sturdy, has plenty of features and my 3 year old loves it! I'm sure it will give our family years of pleasure. All the kit was delivered very quickly and with clear instructions. It took a couple of adults a day to put together but the instructions were such that it was very straightforward. Highly recommended kit and company.

Some good things: - Customer services very helpful! Not sure why some others have complained about them. I asked questions and got polite answers. - You get what it says on the website. Everything is of the quality would expect and hope for you for such a product. - Unlike some big DIY stores, the paint is high quality trade paint, the wood is clean and mostly free from splits and knots, the nails and screws are good quality and the fittings and shingles excellent. - There are plenty of screws and nails plus they supply spare planks of wood such as logs, roof and floor. - Everything goes together as described with some care required to make sure you are using the right bits in the right place. - Windows are better quality than my previous cabin and double glazing is thick and good quality. To note: - They don't take away the packaging materials and there is a lot of waste wood, plastic sheeting etc. used as packing. - The instructions are more a series of notes, not a step by step guide. The YouTube videos are essential to understand the instructions! - I built mine (almost, I am still going) on my own. Its not a technically hard job but it does involve some labour, DIY skills and time. - Some parts of the build look easy on the videos but climbing over the roof on slippery plastic sheeting is a bit dodgy for anyone over 35 years old! - The real pain is painting. There is lots of it and several coats are required. - Even if they put it up for you, you still have to paint it yourself. I am doing mine as I go rather than at the end to protect it as best I can from the rain whilst building it. My suggestion would be remember what you are buying and don't "spec it up" too high. Higher spec summerhouses can be bought elsewhere at 4 - 10 times the cost and are manufactured as large components in factories to control quality and minimise on build time. They are not supplied as many bits of wood for DIY construction. As a low cost, self-build, summerhouse Dunster House is very good value. Don't buy from any cheaper company to save a couple of pounds, you will get what you pay for!
