How durable have these buildings been for folks using them in their games? They look like great models, but I've never seen them in person. |

Have two, with the floors included they are very durable.
They fit in well alongside my other stuff from Sarissa and 4Ground. |

I got mine before they came with floors, but mounted them on 3mm plywood, and they are doing fine. I did add plastic card 'wood' floors to the smaller buildings. I also added some interior stalls and a hay loft to the barn.
Plenty of pictures including in-progress shots, here: link |

They are quite sturdy even w/o floors. |

Thanks. This evening, I was going to buy a couple small buildings to test them and take advantage of a small sale they're running, but when I got to the shipping (nearly $13 USD) on a $23 USD order, I decided to pass. |

I have a few of their kits, none with floors, but they're very sturdy. I just glued them together with white glue and they've held up great. |

I have half a dozen and they are pretty tough. Once glued together they are solid as I need them to be. I wouldn't want to stand on one but suspect if I did it would hold out for a bit longer than my homemade foamcore and balsa buildings. |

When Arnica first came out with this style building, I did a stress test on trhe corners as I was considering folding them up after use. Well after 1oo test assemblies I saw nop loss of tightness or susceptibility to breakage |
