I would have loved this when I was a little girl 
As a big girl, I'd still like something like this

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Blimey, he's belt and braced that one!
I used to work occasionally with a crew that built fake rock formations, castles, trees... pretty much anything... mostly for amusement parks. We mainly used a condense foam to sculpt the surface, and timbers underneath... only time we'd do a steel frame like that is if there was any type of weight going over the top of people's heads.
Beautifully finished though... love all the touches with the birds nest and the fairy ball. Bet he's a hero in that household now!

Seriously impressive work!
I just hope he doesn't have to move house any time soon, that would be impossible to move.

Well yeah, he does have weight going on the branches - his daughter.
"My daughter wanted a fairy tree in her room that she could sit inside and read books, climb the branches, and also have a top sitting area."
That is so cool. Loads of work though with the steel skeleton, I was guessing it would have a timber structure. Impressive skills!

Fair enough, but there is nothing that could not have been done faster and cheaper with timber that would have supported the weight of a kid, or even an adult.
Mind you, perhaps I shouldn't comment because any minute now comes the comments that I'm knocking what he's achieved, or I shouldn't comment until I've built one myself... pretty much the same as when I commented on a shelter some random YouTuber built..... but there you go... nevermind...
Yeah... nobody with any experience of building these things need comment or join in... just say its nice and move along. We're not here to join in... just say its cool... or pick a pedantic point on someone else's comment... thats the way.

damn sharing opinions like you do
HWMBLT and I had a discussion about this.
I think it's ridiculously over engineered and convoluted. Himself says the man's an artist and used to working with those materials.
Me ? I'd have built it out of wood. Might have covered it in fabric, but I wouldn't have use a metal armature…..but then I'm not an 'artist', I'm a Mum
I still think it's pretty cool

YOu not feeling the love at the mo?
I expect that he's overbuilt it like that out of ignorance. I bet he didn't know he could have done it faster in a diffrent way and just went off and learnt to weld and cracked on.
Oh and if I was him I would dread the day that my daughter decided she didn't want it in there anymore!

I think I'd flit.

That is a fantastic thing to have built for his daughter, something both he and she will remember for the rest of her life 
If her Dad installed a suitable wi-fi connection within the trunk it should be OK for a while. And what a cracking place for the future boyfriends to hide!!
