 Great Doll House w/ no character tie ins!Dec 26, 2008
By L. Prichard
Okay, as a parent I began researching dollhouses about 2 months before Christmas for my 3 year old. I was looking for a product that would hold up to abuse and creative play. I wanted a doll house that my daughter could really interact with and chose this one after a lot of looking around. My husband and I opened it up to put together on Christmas Eve and realized it was an even better product than we'd hoped. Here's why:
1. damage proof packaging
2. easy to assemble with a power driver and a philips head screw driver, although it would be harder to do without the power driver, to be honest
3. she played with it for hours
4. everything about it is well-made and sturdy, even the fully poseable dolls (although they look suspiciously like a couple of Art Majors) and chunky wooden furniture
5. you can make two houses if you want, love the modular rooms
6. no character or commercial slogans! My husband and I are tired of the over-commercialization. This product doesn't even carry a logo by the maker. I like that a lot.
Ther are no downsides to this dollhouse that I can see. The little fridge even opens.

great valueFeb 24, 2010
By minimal mommy
I searched for a dollhouse that was wooden, not crazy colors and simple, and I got exactly what I wanted! This a great dollhouse for the money! I love that you can move the rooms around to create whatever style house you want--highrise, two-story, one-story. Not knowing if my daughter is going through a dollhouse "phase" (she is five), I really did not want to invest crazy amounts of money. She loves it so far (she got it for Christmas). I love the furniture, and I am impressed that they include workout equipment as one of the room set-ups--a great example to show our kids! My only complaint is that there are only two dolls. I just got another "family" from Plan Toys, but I feel like they are a touch too big, although my daughter doesn't seem to mind. Would definitely recommend.

 Perfect Dollhouse!Oct 18, 2010
By Mama2Girls
I'm so happy that I decided to go with this dollhouse thanks to others' reviews. We wanted wooden for durability and we're just not fans of plastic anything. I wanted an appropriate size for a 3 year old that would still grow with her, but I still wanted it to look like a regular house (no mod/eco, no victorian). This is perfect and for the price is a phenomenal deal.
-It comes with so much furniture!!!! I mean there's a car and weight room, book cases, lamps and the list goes on. That is a huge plus. It also has a lot of rooms.
-It seems my daughter enjoys just putting all the furniture on one side for now. Down the road though I think it will be wonderful that it's accessible on all sides so her baby sister can play along (hopefully with no fighting!).
-It's well made (although I venture to say that Plan has a slight advantage with durability) and was easy to put together. You definitely should have a power drill.
-We purchased the Ryan's Room Family Affair IV Hispanic-American and they are a perfect fit (excellent quality as well) if you need more people.
Minor downsides so it gets 4 stars
-We had one broken piece upon arrival. We got the Plan Toys Nursery set along with it (awesome by the way) and it's packaged much better with an individual compartment for each piece to prevent anything from being crushed. These just come all thrown in a box with each individually wrapped. The piece is the picnic table for the terrace that she won't even miss anyway but just wanted to share. Everything else was just fine.
-The box doesn't have a picture of the house on the outside so there's no wow factor if you're giving it as a gift to a young child. It's just a brown box full of pieces. In hindsight we should have put it together and just let her open the furniture.
-No stairs. My daughter keeps trying to have her dolls climb the bookcases!
I will happily recommend this house!

Modular design is a plusSep 24, 2010
By Dean T. Miller
"engineer dad"
My son wanted a building for his action figures, and was very happy to get this "doll house" for his birthday. His imagination is boundless, so he didn't even care if some of the walls were pink! The packaging was generic & the construction is sturdy. Easy to assemble, but using a power-driver with a Phillips bit was necessary. Completely assembled in ~30 minutes.
Son & daughter both played with the set for about 3-4 hours the first day (actually shared!) The furniture & dolls are a plus; sturdy & simple. The colors of the various furniture pieces made it easy to group them together, and the kids had fun using the pieces however they wished - moving to different rooms & mixing the pieces to change things around. They had GI Joes & Loving Family figures intermingled in some great imaginative play.
I like the fact that the "rooms" can be arranged to make different buildings - keeps it fresh & encourages more imagination.

 a little bummedSep 16, 2011
By B. Muzel
"bemu"
I fell in love with this concept of the changing dollhouse, because we love to change furniture around. It is creative, however the quality doesn't match up. I do regret buying this one every time I see it. The price had an influence when I bought it, however I wish I would have waited to buy a better quality doll house. The cheap plywood-like frame it's made of came slightly twisted, uneven, and chipped, so the levels don't stand aligned on top of each other, not even close. At the time I didn't have the time to call the manufacturer about it, so I'm not sure how they would deal with something like this. On a positive note, the furniture is adorable , and there's lots of quality furniture in this package!
We'll keep the furniture to go into another house eventually.
