Nice part. I don’t own any.
@MeisterDad: Same here, although it is in a few sets on my wanted list, the smallest of which, 41447, hasn't been available since 2021.

The only sets this has come in which are less than 100 whatevers are two Friends sets; 41447 and 41449, which really explains why.
I mean, it also only comes in 9 sets total, but price matters too.
I got several dozen of these in white from the PAB wall, and on a different day, the transparent panes to fit them. So, with the reddish brown ones from The Chamber of Secrets and sand blue from City of Lanterns- I have every color of this part!
Got it in the Boutique Hotel and the Chamber of Secrets, and has reminded me that I must get 2 or 3 Creator Medieval Castles before they retire.
Available in sand blue, white and reddish brown at 'pick a brick' for US$0.47.
Great piece. I used some in reddish brown with black lattice panes for a hot air balloon basket.
This one has to score pretty high in the list of parts that LEGO publishes images for that have the rotation of the part at the worst possible angle.

I found 41447 online at Barnes and Noble (bn.com) in January 2023.
Really looks like something I’d see in IKEA, we sure this wasn’t from their collaboration?
Wow, I've got this part in every colour it came in. Funny coincidence that I just finished disassembling my City of Lanterns set for parts reusal.
The element was originally designed with 75978 Diagon Alley in mind. The designer who continued from my sketch model decided to use a larger scale for the buildings. It debuted in two Friends sets that I designed, and if I have my way, we’ll see it in more colors in the future!

I really should check that and Amazon; It's just been so long since I got Lego from an online source that wasn't lego.com, since most of my online purchases are made to get GWPs, VIP rewards, or both. In fact, the last set I bought online from a non-Lego source was 71033-6, on eBay last May.

I’d love to see it in Light Bluish Gray, sooner than later… ;)
I own two of these. It’s used in 21330 to make a fireplace screen in the corner of the master bedroom, and I bought a second copy of that set to make the missing wings of the house.
