We had a beautiful one. They seem to use space very efficently in them. The only draw back we had was that when we went to sell they actually depreciate in value. We had completed a large amount of improvements, everything from new roof, new addition, new molding, ceramic tile in bathrooms etc. Thankfully the land that we had made up for the difference and somebody was pretty much willing to pay what we wanted. But other than that they can be built to be as well built as a stick built home without the cost.
