The toy ia awsome. I love the fact that my 6 year old daughter can play with it an then pack it up to bring to Nana's house. I would have given it 5 stars but the clasp is a little flimsy and I think it will break soon. But it has already been used alot! Good to y for the price!

I ordered this for my daughter's X-mas gift. I was interested in something that had two beds, and had more of an updated feel to it for her two Monster High dolls. Considering how expensive MH merchandise is, I was surprised to see that this Barbie toy cost as much as it does. I guess I should have realized this, but it seems that for any Mattel item, the rule of thumb is "If it looks like it's worth 'X' amount, you'll be paying at least ten extra."
When I first inspected the toy (I like to pre-assemble things for X-mas), I was shocked at how bare-bones it was, and was so disappointed, I would have sent it right back had I not managed to find the bags of fabric bedding, and plastic dinky stuff like the tea set. I thought, "well... this makes it a LITTLE more fun."
The actual housing for the toy is sturdy-when it's folded up, the toy is compact and I don't hear things banging about inside (that is, if you don't include the plastic bits that come extra like hanger and chair and whatnot), but the fold-out components are pretty flimsy. As shown in the picture, the room does not have a floor, so if you're unfolding this on carpet, or anything else less flat, the unfolded canopy bed is quite rickety and does not lay flat (that joint in the middle makes it flop about). The bed does not come down in one piece, but rather it is a made up of two pieces of thin plastic that fold up like an accordion. At least the plastic vanity at the end looks nice. When looking at the picture, I didn't even realize that the second bed/bathtub was too short to fit a normal, Barbie-sized doll, and needed a thin, fold-out plastic sheet so that the bed would be long enough to fit a doll on it. There is no locking mechanism to keep the bathtub/bed from flipping over and over, except for that rickety flap.
The 'bedding' is just some thin pieces of fabric, I guess I was somewhat expecting something with with a bit more fill to it, but they're really just some scraps of nylon.
Another disappointment is that the only real "storage" in the toy is the shallow wardrobe with a peg inside of it. At least the set of plastic trinkets includes a hanger. There is room inside the wardrobe for perhaps one shirt on that hanger. The wardrobe has molded drawers beneath it that do not open, and the bedside table has molded drawers that do not open. For forty dollars, the LEAST they could have done is make furniture with drawers that open, especially considering how big the furniture is here-there is enough space that those drawers could have held Barbie-sized shoes, and some folded garments. Urgh>:(.
Basically, what is here would be forgivable it didn't cost so much, and had local retailers been displaying this toy for inspection, I wouldn't have ordered it. It's a shame that there are so few choices for beds for 12" dolls out there, and this will probably be cheaper next year.
Nevertheless, I like this much better than the Dream Vacation Home (for one, it has two beds), and it has a little extra to make it stand out from the Monster High beds (the Dead-Tired Clawdeen came with two bunk beds, but at least this toy has a whole room with it-come to think of it, why doesn't THIS come with a doll??), and it is MUCH cheaper than getting any kind of "Dream Home" for 12" dolls. It has the feel of a dorm room, which is what I really wanted for the Monster High dolls, and the bathtub is a nice touch as you can't find anything outside of a dream house that has a bathtub. The important thing is that I know my daughter will love it as it looks like a real bedroom, has a bath, and she's been wanting a place for her dolls to 'sleep' since we got them.
*sigh* I really should have made them sleeping bags.

Gave it to my granddaughter for her 5th birthday. She and her 4yr.old sister played and played with it. There's enough variety in it to keep their interest for quite a while. And of course we got one of the charm school dolls...beautiful.
It's a great buy. Anything that can keep a young child's mind busy for more than 5 or 10 minutes is a keeper.

As expected, price a little high, but consistent
I am always a bit surprised how much these types of toys cost for what you receive, but our almost 5 year old has enjoyed this very much. Read more

Perfect for travel and small rooms
This is one of four houses we have. It gets used more because she can take it with us and move it to where we are. The beach and town houses are too large to move around.
