KidKraft My Dreamy Wooden Dollhouse with Lights and Sounds, Elevator and 14 Accessories, Gift for Ages 3+

After much searching for a dollhouse that would not be easily destroyed (and my daughters year-long quest to convince "Santa" that a dollhouse with an elevator is crucial in her happiness), my husband and I decided this would be the dollhouse of the century. We were right, our 5 year old daughter absolutely loves her dollhouse! BTW, Mommy thinks it quite nice as well. Now be prepared,if you're assembling it by yourself, to get a bit of a workout. It's probably much easier to assemble with the help of someone else. It took me a few hours over two days to complete my project. I had to hide it after I put it together, so it's a bit hefty fully assembled. The directions were pretty straightforward; I really had no major issues other than the elevator track being in two parts instead of one. I called Kidkraft and they sent the part right away, apologizing for the inconvenience. Thank you Kidkraft for standing behind your product and for having such an excellent customer service department. Sadly, that is such a rarity nowadays.... The dollhouse furniture is darling, my daughter is especially fond of the piano (which plays a snippet of music), lamp (which works as well...be aware that once you switch it on, it shuts off by itself) and the table/chair set. Batteries were included for the the piano, lamp and toilet. My 3 year old gets in on the fun as well. Who knew they had so many fashion dolls? There is more than enough room for two children to play in the various areas of the house...and don't forget that there are two, yes two, balconies! The 5 year old has even added additional furniture from her old Barbie fold-up vacation home. This is not a tiny dollhouse, it takes up a big space. But, if you are so inclined, you can mount it against a wall (hardware included) if you want it to stay in a specific location in your home. I think it is quite sturdy and durable and will be played with for a very long time. Also, based upon various friends/family comments comparing this one to the Barbie townhouse, we made the best purchase. I purchased it on Black Friday 2011 and got it for a very good price as well (yay me!). Many other sites had it listed at around $160, it was under $120 here. Thanks Amazon!

I recommend this product. Everything arrived unbroken and on time. Its extremely sturdy. All pieces were in box were labeled and boxed nicely in carton. Assembly took about 3-4 hours. I checked off all pieces a head of time to make sure none were missing before we started the process to put it together. It was not difficult to assemble it was a bit tedious because of so many pieces. My husband suggests using wood screws for the elevator to make it easier to put together. (But the screws provided did work.) It comes with enough furniture to get started but also allows addtional furniture to be purchased and added and still have room. (I love the lighted lamp, piano that makes music and the sound of the toilet flushing are really cute and adds a special touch. The hanging plant on baloney is adorable). The elevator does work and is a "little tight" but I don't think it will be to difficult to operate. If it is we will use some of the suggestions mentioned and try to make it work easier. I am glad I read reviews a head of time and used others helpful suggestions about making sure screw colors match the house color when putting together. Directions are just pictures but you can figure it out. But addtional details would have been helpful. This was purchased for my granddaughters 3rd birthday and we can't wait to see her open it.

Our daughter is going to absolutely love this. We think it’s very good quality & the instructions are very clear. A lot of reviews have said this product takes 3-5 hours to build so we were nervous about that, but it only took us 1.5 hours. Amazing detail & the little pieces that come with it are adorable!! AND it fits Barbies!! So considering all of this, we highly recommend this product especially for the price.

I ordered this for my 4 year old daughter for Christmas, 2020. She is going to absolutely love it! She wanted Barbie dreamhouse but I've seen those fully assembled and they are flimsy and made of plastic, so I went with this doll house instead and it does not disappoint. Super sturdy, looks great and is VERY big! My only critique: I was reading reviews before I purchased and saw that a number of reviewers noted it took them about an hour or 90 minutes to assemble....well I'm here to let you know that is not even close. I will tell you, I am not a handy man by trade but I can do things around the house and have assembled many things in the past without too many problems. This assembly is a BEAST. I don't have an exact time but a fairly close estimate from start to finish is about 5 hours and 30 minutes in total, lol. There are LOTS of peices, I mean tons. The directions were fine, no complaints there, but there are so many screws and bolts and differnt peices you have to fit together. I would suggest if you are going to buy this ask someone else to assist when you are assembling as this would definitely be made easier with 2 people. All that said, I got it all together myself, it was a bit of a challenge and as mentioned just very time consuming...very glad I did not wait until Christmas Eve to start on this. Can't wait for my daughter to see it, really great product for a good price!!!!

I was amazed but how big this was once we go it together! It’s true to size very sturdy as long as u put it together correctly and the paint quality and accessories are so cute and beautiful Definitely worth the value you pay for!

Very nice my daughters loved it
