Whimsical Woodland Advent Cabin with Wildlife Surprises

We have, as a family, collected Advent calendars for decades. We had never seen anything like this. We are also animal lovers and live in the beautiful state of Colorado. This is a perfect expression of our history--camping, hiking, watching wildlife, photographing animals.

I really am glad I opened this up and looked it over before Dec. 1st. My 3 girls love animals and I thought this was such a cute concept. I wavered bc of the price, but went ahead bc Plow and Hearth usually has great items.

I was HUGELY disappointed that one drawer was broken and 3 opening do not have any animals. The animals were rec'd -- well, yes, as stated above, cheap, and crudely painted. Some look very mean. A few duplicates as well. And, where do you stick all the birds?

I am returning this and will be on the search for something else. Great concept -- needs better construction -- and better animals. Wintery animals --

We received this as a gift and used it last year. My kids really enjoy this advent calendar and they get excited to see what animal surprise is behind each door!

I received this Advent Calendar as a gift last year and my children absolutey loved it! As we counted down the days until Christmas, my children were excited to see what animal surprise they were going to get! I can't wait to give this is a gift to my friends and family!

This was given to us as a gift last Christmas. We used this last year and I'm getting one for my two sister's kids. Nice quality and all the items are well packed and

I was very disappointed in the quality of this advent cabin. My expectations were high because Plow and Hearth endorsed it. The animals were cheap, dime store figurines, many of the same kind, and where do you put all those birds on metal, needle-like posts? They were not functional at all. The animal shapes were all different sizes-they should be equally sized. Too many of the same animals-wish all were different. Two drawers pulled apart and broke and now that they were glued, they don't close. I can't retrieve the animals that fell into the cabin from the windows. Not a great piece.

Unlike several of the other customers, my Advent Cabin arrived in good condition with all parts & pieces intact. I had no mechanical problems either, and got a lot of nice compliments from family members during our Holiday Party. On the downside, I thought the product was a little expensive given the material, and I was somewhat disappointed in receiving duplicate animals.

I was disappointed with this product for the reasons stated above.There was no excuse for a door being empty(#7 door) especially being it was one of the larger doors and my 4 year old granddaughter was eagerly waiting for what was inside which turned out to be nothing. One of the animals had a broken ear. It's only the 17th of Dec. and we have opened 3 doors with 3 identical squirrels. They could at least be in different poses.For the money I would wait until it goes on sale and use the following year.

Although it is adorable, there are quite a few quality issues. Two of the drawers fell apart before we even opened the package-one of which fell inside the cabin with the figurine and it cannot be retrieved. Some of the birds are missing mounting posts (I broke up some plastic toothpicks and used them to hold the birds in place.) Some of the windows and draws stick and others do not close completely. All in all, it is not worth the price. We have another one wooden advent calender we have had for many years and have never had a problem with it. We are waiting for a replacement piece for the one stuck inside but I may end up returning the whole thing.

We love this advent house and plan to use it every December for the next decade or more. Quality craftsmanship, adorable woodland creatures in each door and window. The house arrived in perfect condition. We've had no troubles at all with the mechanics of the doors or windows. Highly recommended.

It's very cute but cheaply made. It was scratched when we received it. The drawers fell apart and didn't slide in and out well. Some fell into the cabin and were very difficult to retrieve. Very disappointed for the priced.
