Average

#34 of 51 Ideas sets with 1,000+ pieces

The Tree House is rated highly, 4.5 of 5 from 805 builders, but it’s a little below typical for a big Ideas set on contents: about 92 pieces per $10 against 99, about 8% less plastic per dollar, and four minifigures at under the usual rate. At $249.99 it also costs roughly 10% more than its contents usually would, which leaves it at the low end of average.
