Have you ever gotten yourself into a situation where you have some guests coming and you realize you don’t have enough place for all of them to sleep? Sure, you can try laying some sleeping bags on the floor or politely ask them to sleep in their cars but you know what else you can do? Build them a house.

Turns out Amazon is selling something called the Allwood Solvalla, a 172 square foot garden house that you can assemble in just 8 hours.

The company says their house kit is made from high-quality Nordic wood and is an alternative to the classic log cabin styled structures. “It works well in a variety of surroundings and can be a guesthouse, home office, granny flat, or even a retail space,” says Allwood. “Versatile Solvalla can also be set up on rooftops of multi-story buildings. Assembly of this solid wood structure takes a full day for two adults.”

Even though the house doesn’t come with a bathroom, Allwood says it’s not too difficult to install one and you can even purchase a DIY kit for that.
