I bought it for my daughter last year for Hanukkah. I really like the design of the house itself: the three completely open floors are easy for a young child to play with, and I like the bright colors and simple assembly. But I don't like the felt dolls that come with the house. They're flexible, but they don't hold a sitting position, so you can't sit them down in the chairs. And, frankly, I just think they're weird-looking!

The furniture is OK, not great--it's not as smoothly finished as similar products from well-known makers of wood dollhouse furniture, and not as well constructed--one of the chairs fell apart yesterday when she was playing with it. It's also scaled a little smaller than most other dollhouse furniture, so if you replace the funky felt dolls with standard plastic dollhouse figures, they may not fit very well. Our replacement dolls are always falling out of the chairs.

Still, the whole package is not a bad deal for the amount of money. If I were buying a new dollhouse today, this wouldn't be the one, but my daughter still likes it just fine.

This doll house has proven hours worth of fun and imagination. The furniture pieces are easy for little hands to maneuver, and the "family" members are flexible. There is enough room for a child to move things around, and the open floor plan allows for room changes.

This doll house that is suitable for a child as young as three, yet it has an heirloom quality to it.

We purchased this for my daughter when she was 2 1/2 years old. She continues playing it with almost daily at 4 years old. It's amazing and a great value.

The dolls are a little odd, but other brands (like Loving Family) fit just fine in the furniture. And my daughter (and her friends that flock to this house) don't seem to mind the cloth dolls.

I was initially concerned about the durability of this house, but it has endured many many hours of play from different kids--boys and girls. It's a hit with both. We've had such a good time with this and hours and hours of fun. It's definitely been one of the best toy purchases we've made--well worth the money!!

This says it is a wooden dollhouse but is not worth the money - is cheesy looking and cheaply made!

I have been very disappointed with this purchase. The furniture is not well made and easily falls apart. The dolls are weird and don't fit in the furniture well. The assembled house can not be moved without falling apart and simple play causes the roof and top back wall to fall off regularly. I spent a good deal of time picking a doll house and after reading ample reviews went with this one (I have noticed growth in the negative ones). I have regretted this purchase ever since. Absolutely not worth the money -- in my opinion this is very overpriced for the quality. The colors are cute and cheerful and the space is well designed for little hands, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about this item. I am discouraged to say, I will be replacing it at Christmas.

I bought this dollhouse for my daughter's 3rd birthday. Within the first week I had to glue at least 3 pieces of furniture back together. Over the past year I've repaired numerous pieces and the house cannot be moved without the back and roof coming off. (It is now taped together). For $150 and with all of it's "awards" I expected much better quality. I think ALEX needs to stop selling this house and redesign it.

I bought this for my daughter. She hardly ever played with it. The furniture fell apart without much use. The dolls were not fun (they didn't do anything & were ugly) & most other dolls will not fit in the house! My daughter now wants a new doll house that is more fun.

Within six months of owning this 50% of the furniture fell to pieces. Some wodd glue and a clamp will fix but for the price you should not have to make constant repairs. Save your money.

Very cheaply made.MY children broke it after only four months.The back wall broke off along with the top roof.The furniture also broke.The people's hair came off.This house was a big mistake.I wish I had purchased a different one.This house is very cute,but not sturdy enough for preschoolers.

I owned a toy store and this was the dollhouse that I selected for my daughter (who was then 2). She is now 3 and has loved every minute playing with this house, furniture and dolls. The house has withstood rambunctious play, *I* was the only one to break furniture (I stepped on a chair with a heavy boot I was wearing -- but amazingly, only the leg popped off, the rest of the chair is still intact and could be fixed if I had the motivation...) and the dolls are a beautiful, heavy felt with a wired body for easy movement. They are unlike other dollhouse dolls with the wooden heads and pegged bodies, which I felt were inappropriate for a young child.

All in all, this brightly colored, well made dollhouse should last my daughter until she is old enough to either grow out of it, or want to grow on to a traditional, hand-made set.
