My daughter and I bought the Forever Barbie - Totally Real House Playset. We immediately put it together, which was easy and started to play with it. It's so fun and cute. The little details make is so real. I like that you can close it up, but all the accesories and furniture won't fit in it when it's closed up. If it had been made a bit wider it you could get the bigger pieces in there. I just got an extra box for that. It will be easy for my daughter to take it on a trip.

I was very pleased with this purchase. It took me a little over an hour to assemble it. Be sure to keep the box with the colorful photo illustrations handy along with the enclosed black and white instruction sheet while putting together this toy. You'll find that helps a lot to put this whole thing together. I popped in the batteries, and the sound effects work just fine. I use this toy along with my Barbie as Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) and my Ken as Prince Phillip dolls in my illustrated stories. It's loads of fun.

Update Note added Dec 28, 2010: Wow. Just saw the asking price here. I bought mine in February 2007 from Amazon. Price then was $[...] which I felt was reasonable. With tax and shipping the total came to $[...]. Seller was Target.

I just purchased this EXACT barbie house at Kmart for 49.99! WHY is amazon so expensive? This is is a really cute doll house and the one I purchased came with all the furnishings. We really like it but I would have NEVER paid the amazon price for it!

I have been very happy with this house, and so have the kids!
The kids love:
The very cool sounds. (The toilet even flushes, endlessly delighting the preschool set.)
The gadgets. This thing is LOADED with accessories, enough for a lot of playtime.

Mom loves:
The sounds can be TURNED OFF. Big bonus in my book!!
It folds up and fits nicely against the wall. Great for those with less than huge play areas.
Enough stuff to accommodate two to three children playing at the same time.

One caveat:
Be prepared to purchase a small container for the extra pieces. They really do NOT fit inside the house (despite the claim).

This is the most wonderfull little house! It folds up for easy storage and is small enough that it could be taken to grandma's house. You'll need a small box for the bigger extras and a small ziplock bag for a few little pieces, but all in all well worth the money. Great product Mattel!

What is up with Amazon? Is this a joke? I got this at Toys R Us for around $30 last year. I usually love amazon, but do not buy this from amazon unless you just need to blow some bucks.

My daughter (6 year old) saw this at Target early in the Christmas season and went crazy! She called it a Barbie apartment. Since receiving this for Christmas she hasn't stopped playing. It is very interactive -lots of sounds with all kinds of additional pieces. It also folds up for easy storage. The size is perfect not like the old Barbie house that was huge! I would recommend this toy if your child loves to use their imagination and pretend "house" with her Barbies.

Amazon was amazing. I was looking at the Barbie doll house that sells for approximately 100.00 and was not impressed with the reviews that it received. I did not want to spend all that money and not be happy with the product. I was surfing the web and accidently came upon this playset. I thought this is the right product for my 7 yr old daughter. Just right for the money. I was surprised to find that they were discontinuing this model. I surfed Kmart, Walmart and Target some had it and some didn't. If the store had it they could not guarentee the shipping by Christmas. Not only did Amazon have it, but they told me exactly when I was going to receive it and I didn't have to pay extra for speedy shipping. Next year I am going to buy all my gifts for Christmas from Amazon.

We bought our now five-year-old daughter this house for her birthday when she turned four, and she STILL loves playing with it. As she has grown older, she has gotten more adept at setting the table and chairs, arranging the flowers, putting Barbie on the toilet...Sorry for the TMI there, but my point is that this toy has grown along with her, and it's just so cute, too! My favorite thing is that the whole house folds up and snaps shut for easy storage. I was a little concerned about where the furniture was going to go, but we have a plastic tub for all of that, and my daughter is very practiced at rounding all of the doodads up and putting them away. I HIGHLY recommend this toy for any Barbie fan!

My 2 daughters got this very cute doll house as a Christmas gift and they love it very much. The reason why I gave it a 3 stars was because the sound doesn't work and the washer and dryer also do not spin. Seeing as that was almost the whole reason why it was given to them I gave it 3 stars. But the lack of sound and spinning aside my girls still play with it all of the time. Like someone else posted you will need a little ziplock bag and a small storage box for the pieces that come with it. It is very cute though and I would still recomend it.
