I bought this dollhouse on a whim as a gift for my Daughter's 6th Birthday, who basically has everything imaginable. I did little research and only read a couple reviews. The package arrived in 2 days on the day stated for delivery. I was a bit intimidated when it came in a flat, long, heavy box weighing more than me. (maybe exaggerated on the weight but it's heavy, need a strong set of hands or a dolly to move) I anticipated a long assembly but had the house complete in about an hour. The pieces are well labeled and the instructions are easy to read. The screws are color coordinated and comes with an allen wrench however I suggest a small sized drill and an extra set of hands as it made construction a breeze. The house is very detailed an ornate and easy to maneuver once assembled. The house comes with a strap to screw into a wall so it will not topple over. The attention to detail, ease of assembly and sturdy construction of this house make me extremely comfortable with my decision to purchase this house. The furniture is compatible with a Barbie sized doll however I brought out my daughters Barbie to see for myself and even though they do fit I feel a smaller sized doll would be more suitable in this house especially with multiple players, dolls, accessories, etc. I was also surprised by the size of the house. I read the dimensions but I guess they did not quite register at the time of purchase. Once assemble I stand 5'2" and the top the house comes to my shoulders. I am very happy with this house and I know my daughter will love it as well. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a good quality dollhouse.
