Take A Look Inside This Tiny 5-Room House Which Sells On Amazon For $33,000
Looking for a way to build a tiny house but find yourself short on time? Don’t want to invest too much of your savings into a living space? Out of the gazillion products available on Amazon, there are real houses to buy, too. For those who want to downsize to save money or those who are simply into smaller spaces, this easily buildable house might be the answer to your prayers. However, some reviewers on Amazon did spot a few disadvantages as well, so scroll down below to find out more.

“If you are searching for a cabin with a functional floor plan, take a look at Allwood Avalon,” the product description reads. “540-square-foot combined ground floor area with a 218-square-foot sleeping loft (whereof 53 SQF with min. 48″ headroom) allows many room allocation options,” the company writes. “This cabin can be a lake house, guest house, beach or garden cottage, or even a stand-alone retail building.” In addition to this, according to the company, all of the materials are made from high-quality Nordic spruce wood.

While you might imagine a truck towing a new house to your preferred area, the assembling of it is a bit IKEA-like. The tiny cabin comes in the form of a kit, which includes all the needed materials to build the structure. The seller estimates that with two adults working on the house, its assembling should take about one week.

The Allwood Avalon Cabin stands at $33,000 – which is a lot more compared to other company’s houses. However, the price is higher because of the bigger space that it offers. When constructing, you can choose from two possible floorplans for the cabin, with either five or three rooms. In addition to this, there’s also a 218-square-foot second story to use as an additional space.

“Avalon is very energy efficient and well suited even for colder climates,” the company writes. However… the keen eye of people on the internet proves otherwise. “Only access to the bathroom is from the patio. It’s a glorified outhouse. Definitely NOT suited for cold climates!” one person on Amazon writes. And there it is—when you look at the plan, you can clearly see that the door to the bathroom is outside.

Another tiny inconvenience is that while the company does write that only “minimal tools are needed”, they also recommend a forklift or a small crane to use for the installation of the tiny house. All in all, it seems like these are the only disadvantages to this cabin. What do you think? Would you buy such a house?

Lumber Advisors say: Nordic Spruce is rated slightly resistant to non-resistant to ROT. It's most commonly used for paper manufacturing.

It's a low quality prefab house with a really bad layout. What's so special about it?

I wonder the same thing. The floor plan is ridiculous. What is that space behind a TV set used for? I would move the bedroom where there is kitchen and bathroom now, and use all that space for dinette - kitchen - bathroom; the bathroom accessible either from the kitchen or from the bedroom, perhaps, there would be a space for a small closet too. it's a wild guess since BP did not provided the dimensions.

Those are classic and pretty well made too and I love how a lot of them are doing just perfectly today . There's this Sears house somewhere in Savannah where the people who installed it put up the windows upside down. For some unknown reason I love looking at that house.
