(More customer reviews)This isn't really a toy and I sort of bought it by accident. I was rushing and didn't really read the description very well. My 4 year old has had a dollhouse for a few years and when we moved I packed up all the furniture in a box and never saw it again. She never really gave it a lot of attention to begin with but I did want to replace the furniture and plastic fisher price dollhouse furniture can get pretty expensive when you want to furnish every room. So I saw this for $12 and thought ok, I can do some assembling if it will save me $100.
First off, it is a puzzle. And I don't believe that it is intended to be played with. But if you buy some paint and glue and have about 5-6 hours to spend on it then it can become a pretty good toy. First I assembled it then I got some tacky glue (shop around for some craft glue that dries in a decent time) and glued all the joints. After that it was extremely durable, I was very surprised. Then I bought some craft paint, mixed my colors, painted it and voila!! 35 pieces of dollhouse furniture for less than $20 including glue and paint.
Now, if you dont glue this it wont even stay together if it's just sitting there. But after its been glued it is just as durable as something you'd buy in a store. In fact the only way to break it is if you actually crush it by stepping on it or something, which would break even a plastic toy. I'm not even a very crafty person and this was easy but it does take a lot of patience. The really cool thing is that you can customize it with any color you want to make it. I also sewed up some little blankets and pillows for the beds.
My daughter has been playing with this almost non stop since Christmas Eve and the only thing that broke is a chair that my husband stepped on. She actually plays with it more now than she did when we first bought it and had all the furniture that was designed for it.
It is very small though. The only dolls that fit it are polly pocket size dolls, which are about 4" maybe. But everything fits in the dollhouse very well. It's not too crowded so when she's playing she isnt constantly knocking things over. I believe we have a fisher price loving family dollhouse and I think the dolls that came with it were about 8" tall. Luckily my daughter has several polly pocket dolls and accessories so it all worked out well.
So if you want to furnish a dollhouse and save money this is the way to go. It does require some time and patience but its well worth it.
