Oh my God! My granddaughter had this same playhouse, only when I got it (used) it was missing the doors! May I ask how did you attach these newly built doors and what measurements did you use? Ive been googling/searching for months for someone who had this same idea as me, to put real wooden doors on here but the plastic is so flimsy so I got to know how you did it!?
