Tiny homes are having a serious moment. Whether you want to have an instant guest room behind your 'normal' house, a home office that's separate from your living quarters or to seriously downsize, tiny homes are where it's at. There are even a bunch of reality shows dedicated to the phenomenon.

Well, it turns out that you don't have to hire a special contractor to build your pint-sized home — you can just pick one up at Amazon. That's right: The mega retailer is selling tiny home kits, so you can have materials to assemble your downsized dream house delivered right to your door. The structures start at $7,950, which is pretty impressive.

A few things to keep in mind before you hit purchase (because, hello — tiny homes!): You'll probably need to check local building codes in your area before you erect a new structure in your yard. Also, these homes usually don't include a bathroom or kitchen space, so you'll want to factor that into your plans. 

And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

Want to add a tiny home to your cart? These are some of the best available at Amazon right now.

At 117 square feet, the Allwood Mayflower Base Garden House Cabin Kit makes an adorable addition to a yard. Made of solid Nordic wood, it's not as hard to assemble as you'd think — it takes about 2 to 3 days for two handy adults. Just think about all the books you'll read during those lazy Sundays spent at the cabin...

This little cabin is the perfect indoor-outdoor living situation. And at 172 square feet, about half is a covered porch. Two of the walls feature floor-to-ceiling windows, while the rest is crafted from Nordic wood. The whole vibe of the space is modern and cool. Use it as a guest house, backyard rec space or home office — the choice is yours. "Honestly this is a really great deal," a five-star fan wrote.
