All Seasons Kids Wooden Dollhouse by Hape | Award Winning 3 Story Dolls House Toy with Furniture, Accessories, Movable Stairs and Reversible Season Theme L: 23.6, W: 11.8, H: 28.9 inch

I bought this dollhouse for my daughter's fifth birthday (which is tomorrow), and I know she is going to love it. In looking online at options, this one was her favorite because of the features/design and also mine because it seemed like the best quality and value. Thus, we saved up for it. Yes, the price tag is high, but you get what you pay for--in this case, it's quality. The house looks really nice, and it’s sturdy. It comes with enough furniture/accessories to put some in each room, although you can buy add-ons to make it more complete/full. For example, in my photos, we have the add-on kids’ bedroom and dining room sets from Hape, as well as a set of kitchen accessories (bottles, boxes, dishes) from Haba, which are mostly in the fridge and cabinets, so not very visible in photos. The wardrobe in the parents’ room does have useable space, and we have the Haba doll that comes with multiple outfits, so maybe we will store her clothes in there. The topmost room is empty right now, but that’s not because there was nothing to go there. We’re going to put the add-on baby’s room from Hape there—just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. We also plan to put the Haba laundry room set in the bathroom, the Haba bunny hutch on either the balcony or the space beside the living room, and the Haba kitty in the kids’ room. By the way, Hape makes a lovely set of three pets (dog, cat, and bunny); it’s just that my daughter already has the Haba ones, and they fit well. Without the add-ons, I think I would have done the “double living room” (as shown in the manufacturer’s photos) and either and truly left the topmost room empty, as though a second balcony. Under the kitchen is some empty space, and I’ve heard that you can park the Hape car there. The Haba vet car also fits, as we verified. I also think this space will be useful for storing dolls, laid flat. We don’t have any of the Hape dolls (again, yet—who knows?!), but we have many of the Haba Little Friends Dolls, hence purchasing this house. As with the pets mentioned above, Hape’s dolls (the wooden ones shown in the manufacturer’s photos) are also perfect for this house; we just happened to have the Haba ones already. I absolutely appreciate the ability to mix/match the two lines! Assembly was not difficult. If you're not used to assembling wooden furniture, etc., it might not be easy or necessarily intuitive. However, if you look at the instructions beforehand and think it through, it's no problem. From the time I cut open the box to the time I placed the last piece of furniture, it took about an hour. That includes unwrapped (items come bubble/tissue wrapped), studying the instructions, inventorying the pieces, and so on. I'm not very "handy," so I took my time, to ensure I wouldn't make a fatal mistake. Someone else could probably assemble it faster than I did, especially with a helper. My top pieces of advice for assembly are: 1) study the instructions first, 2) make sure you have all the pieces and lay them out orderly, 3) line up all the screws in the holes before tightening any on that side (because then you won't have the problem of screws not fitting, due to misaligned holes), and 4) take the time you need to work comfortably and confidently. I cannot imagine that my daughter will not absolutely love this house, given all the anticipation and how absolutely wonderful it is. If it does disappoint her, I will update to add her comments. I also hope that I can get some better photos once the gift is actually given. Right now, it’s wedged in a corner of the basement, so I apologize if the photos are not clear enough to be helpful. In all, this is the dollhouse of dreams. Any little girl or boy would love it and get many years of enjoyment from it. It’s also definitely large enough and has enough access points that two children could easily play with it together. I’m so glad we purchased this, and I definitely recommend it. Thank you, Hape!

My 2 year old daughter LOVED this for her bday last year, and it’s held up GREAT. A big thing I was worried about was finding dolls to fit it that weren’t the same brand as the house. We got peg dolls from target, fisher price little people, and even some random figures that all fit great in the house and on the furnature. This dollhouse is so sturdy! My toddlers are climbers and I’m amazed how well it’s held up against them sometimes climbing on it (without permission of course LOL) it’s big and open so my 2 littles can play with it together but not be all in each others “bubble”. its shape makes it sturdy so it doesn’t fall over with play, but it’s also light enough I can easily move it to clean inside or behind it! Took me about a hour to build BUT a good 20 mins of that I was super gluing pieces into the rooms so we didn’t have lots of choking hazards and/or missing and scattered pieces. Instructions to build it were easy to follow, even for me who isn’t really good at that kind of thing. Regular super glue has stuck great to the material and they haven’t been able to rip off pieces. Awesome open ended toy and well worth the money!

My three year old son requested a "purple house" for Christmas. After much searching, I came across this house. I like the fun colors and one of the panels was purple, so I was able to sell it to the 3 year old as a "colors house". (If you are looking for a house for a boy...don't give up! There are several houses that I found that are all wood or wood and primary colors and seem very nice. I just needed these colors because the request to Santa was for purple.) This house is very attractive. And while it is in no way "girly" as most doll houses are, I can see both girls and boys enjoying this product. I was pleased with the amount of furniture. I had considered buying the children's room and the dining furniture too. I'm glad I waited; the furniture provided is plenty for my son for now. Of course the need of a 3.5 year old boy will be different than an older, more detail oriented girl. I did purchase the Hape family and the Hape pets, both of which my son has thoroughly enjoyed and he's only had it 3 days! I didn't really understand the "all seasons" aspect of the house until we got it. He has really enjoyed changing the roof panels from "green" to "snow". He can do that without help. The stairs are movable, and he, at 3.5, is able to move and reattach the stairs without assistance. His grandparents assembled the house and hid it for us until Christmas Eve. I can't personally speak to assembly, but I did ask my mother-in-law after reading reviews about various problems. She said it was a relatively easy assembly, but she felt like the fact that two of them worked together to put it together helped with lining up the floors, a problem many seem to have. Also, they realized the need to refrain from tightening completely to ensure everything is aligned. The only problem we have had is that the bed frame for the master bedroom was missing. I haven't tried to get it replaced yet. That may prove difficult. Again, the 3 year old boy hasn't even noticed. He lies the people on the "mattress" that is supposed to go on the bed which we just placed on the floor with the other bedroom furniture. The house seems sturdy and durable. I feel as though the house will outlast my son's interest; I can't say that for all of his toys. I would definitely recommend this product to friends! ***update 1/6/13*** - I contacted Hape via their website and received the missing furniture piece. A representative emailed within minutes of my request and the bed was received in a matter of days. - I'm not adjusting my 5 star rating; I still think it's a great house. However, after spending some time in play with my son, I do agree with another reviewer that there should be more stairs.

Like it all. Extremely well made. All doors and drawers open and close. All wood. Zero cardboard and the only plastic is the bathtub. Buying this for my granddaughter and I’m sure her children will play with it someday. It says on one of the descriptions (not on the assembly instructions) not to wash it or use alcohol wipes. Glad I caught that. Easy to put together. Footprint is good. Doesn’t take up a lot of room but there is still enough room for two children to play at the same time. Very clever and very good value. Would buy again if I had other granddaughters. And her little Charlotte Bear we bought her fits perfectly . The family is sold separately and as her grandmother I appreciated that it comes with grandparents (gray-haired) as well as pets. Buy it. You won’t regret it!

SOOO happy that I chose Hape. I was considering the Melissa and Doug, but based off of the surprisingly high number of negative reviews, I decided to go with the Hape (which had not as many negative reviews). As soon as I got it today, I quickly wanted to open it and put it together so I did not make the mistake of so many others. Give myself a week before her party to find any problems and come up with plan B. NOT NECESSARY with my purchase. Disclaimer: All of my parts were included and in one piece without damage. I can understand negative reviews for that, but not for difficulty building it. My 7 year old and I were able to complete it in less than 45 minutes. Super helpful trick: I took the hex wrench that was included, cut off the short end and made a drill bit to be used in my DeWalt 18v drill/driver. Cut building time in half at least. Set it on torque setting 1 and did not go all the way on any of my screws until the very end. Once all screws were in and aligned, I set the torque to 3 and finished drilling each screw in. As another reviewer noted, Hape is German company, but the outside box that it came in AND the actual toy box were clearly marked "Made in China". See pics. below. Construction is solid. The floors are pretty slim, but sturdy enough. Pretty stiff, about 1/4" thick. Could they have made it 1/2", probably, but it will be fine as long as they done decide to pull it out and use it as karate practice. With a 7 year old son (who helped build - but is also a lego genius) and a to be 3 year old daughter, I have put together my fair share of toys. I also consider myself to be a little bit of a handyman. Construction was straight forward, make sure when you are putting in the 12 cross beams that you make sure the slots all line up and you will be fine. If you got all the pieces and they were not broken, construction is a snap, unless you are one of the less incompetent other buyers. SUPER CUTE, can't wait for my daughter to open it!!

Beautiful dollhouse. It would have been 5 stars but I was missing the baby furniture and one of the sets of stairs was broken so I glued it back together. I contacted Hape about it so I’m sure they will replace it. Anyway. The dollhouse is wonderful. The steps, reversible roof and balcony are a nice touch and all of the little furniture is adorable. Setup was easy, it took me about an hour. I got a little family separately for cheap. Highly recommended. Great for boys because it’s not too girly! All wooden and the little ones can take the stairs out and take the roof off themselves which adds to the exploration. Open sides so they can easily play.

Durable, solid wood pieces, pretty decor and adorable furniture and accessories that are thoughtful - the drawers in the tiny vanity open and there's a lid for the itty bitty pot! So glad we chose this specific dollhouse after trying the huge Kidkraft mansion. This fits their Little People. Definitely not Barbie size. Our 3 year old loves imaginative independent play with her new dollhouse.

Both me and my two year old are thrilled with the Hape All Season Doll House. It is so fun, durable, colorful and fosters endless creativity. Honestly, I like this doll house so much that I almost want to buy another. For any girl or boy that doesn't want a Victorian style dollhouse, this should absolutely be among your top considerations. Given that this has been a popular item on Amazon, I'd like to make a few comments that I haven't seen in other reviews, and offer a couple counter points to criticisms I've read that made me cross my fingers when I first ordered this. 1) The quality of the wood and wood furniture is great. Some of the seams don't come together perfectly, similar to how a prefabricated picture frame doesn't often come perfectly together in all four corners, but nonetheless it looks awesome. Definitely maintains a high end look and feel relative to many plastic and even other wooden doll houses I've come across. 2) It's *super* easy to assemble! This is what had me worried a bit when I first bought it, and perhaps Hape has made some revisions to the assembly since the product first was introduced on Amazon, but it took me 10 minutes to assemble and all the parts to put it together are included. No drilling necessary as some others indicated! 3) The *two* ladders are awesome, and one has a slide on half of it! My daugheter loves to send her baby Calico Critter Cats down the slide between floors. She also noticed right away that there aren't stairs between each floor, but it they did this the middle would be so cluttered that you'd have a hard time moving about between the rooms. The ladders are mobile and easy to move from one floor to the next, or you can simply jump from room to room. 4) The open design is very conducive to play. The rooms are big and there is more than enough room to accommodate the furniture plus whatever dolls/critters you may have about the house 5) The furniture on the box isn't necessarily what is in the box. Plus, the box shows furniture in all rooms, but only 4 rooms are pre-furnished (which is very clear on the box). The quality is outstanding. Awesome! And many of the cupboards open and shut, which is great fun. Our set included: **Bedroom set: bed, dresser, small chair, mirror, lamp, floor mat, beddings and two pillows **Bathroom set: toilet, shower, bathtub, floormat, wooden ducky, towels **Kitchen set: oven/range, coffee maker and pot, pot with lid, sink, towels, table (but no chairs), fridge **Living room set: plant, lamp, TV, fireplace, couch, loveseat, coffee table, pillows Having two spares rooms is also very good in my opinion. My daughter keeps her cars and airplanes on the ground floor. 6) If you or your young one like to have non-traditional dolls (i.e., not human form) this set is great to work with all the Slyvanian Family or Calico Critters sets. 7) The roof is removable. It doesn't screw or bolt down, but rather sets on pegs at an angle. It is very sturdy, and makes it easy to remove if you want extra movability in the top floors. Also, you can change the seasons of the roof from summer to winter theme. I don't think the reverse of the green roof is shown on the box, but can be flipped to a white/blue winter style. The only things to be careful of is (1) the style and large size of this doll house may make it tempting for a little one to scale the building like a ladder! The floors are constructed well, but surely wouldn't support the weight of a kid; and (2) there may be a very small split piece of wood here or there around where the holes were drilled for the screw assemblage, thus creating the risk of a child getting a sliver if they handle the wood frame a lot. You may need to use a fine sand paper or just remove any small splits. Again, this is such a cool doll house regardless of the price, and when considering the price it's truly a tremendous value relative to just about anything else I've seen. I really like the Calico Critters dolls for my daughter, but their doll houses, furniture, etc. are wildly expensive, plastic, small, and (in my opinion) cheap looking--having this for furniture and a larger, classier style home is a perfect combination (that will save you a ton of money!). Hape doll house isn't overly girly and promotes fun and play--I am sure many boys would like this too...I could see Cobras on one side and G.I. Joes on the other! Hope this review is helpful to one of you out there.
