This is awesome!

We bought this playhouse for our daughter this afternoon.

She is 3 and really into pretend play. My husband put it together in a couple of hours, it wasn't too difficult. It is ADORABLE!!! She loves it! It's midnight here & she's still in her new house LOL!

My 11 year old can stand up inside and not hit her head on the roof, so there are years of play ahead without our 3 year old growing out of it too fast.

There is a battery operated phone inside, a cute little built in table, a pretend clock, two windows that open, a sky light, and next to the actual front door, there is a little front door that is "doll" sized. Too cute!

I have nothing negative to say about this playhouse. Even my husband was in it earlier playing with my daughter. It was worth the money!

I did lots of research into the different play houses available and found this one to be the best value in this price range. It's bigger than most I looked at and was also the cutest (for a girl).

We got this item for our daughter's third birthday (May 2003). We also got her the Barbie Take Along Tunes Jeep. We had a ton of kids over and they were the biggest hits! The kids played with them non-stop (even when it started raining). Since then my daughter has used the house quite a lot, often by herself (for about an hour or so at a time). When we've had other parties all the kids love it, even the boys.

The only thing that wasn't GREAT was the fact that the chairs in the picture don't come with it. I've looked all over for durable chairs to match the house (pink or purple) and can't find any.

It is SUPER durable! My husband and I were moving it off our deck, it slipped and went over the railings. It dropped about 5 or 6 feet to the ground. The only thing that happened is the corner attachment came apart. It slipped right back in and is as good as new. It was also very easy to put together. I did it by myself and it took only about an hour and a half.

I'd recommend it to anyone with a girl who loves pretend play.

This house is very cute. My Father-in-law and I put it together in about 45min. This review is being written on Christmas Eve so my daugher has not had a chance to see it yet. I'm sure she will love it. Two hints on putting it together. 1)If you have a cordless drill with a screwdriver bit it will make your life much easier. It will also save the palms of your hands. 2)Instead of putting the roof on the house in three different pieces like the directions say, put all three pieces together and then put it on top of the house at the sametime. Enjoy.

We bought this playhouse for our daughter's B-day. Be warned! The product you see IS NOT really the product you get. Foremost, the table (with pedestal support) is form-fitted to mount on the inside, NOT the outside as shown! A huge chunk of playspace is now gone. Beyond this, most screw holes are missing and it is impossible to gain entry for a drill. This is most critical when an adult must secure the roof from the inside as the final step. Pushing the screw tip to bite into the plastic can cause the screw head to countersink, or worse! The whole product is poorly designed, but the ads are enticing!

My daughter just recieved this item. We purchased this item to replace her recently damaged play househouse.(Huntington Beach oil gusher) Her playhouse was out of stock so we thought the Barbie and Me House would be a good choice. The Barbie and me House was a litttle more expensive, but it looked worth the price of the picture. Once the house arrived my daughter brought out her barbies and princess music and had a wonderful time. However, we noticed this house was a little bit smaller inside and their were no chairs or kitchen. I was most diappointed by the lack of chairs, when the picture selling the playhouse showed matching chairs.

I was grateful for the review that mentioned that the chairs were NOT included as pictured. I was able to find the matching chairs on the Step 2 website. What an awesome playhouse!

The little chairs do not come with the playhouse and I haven't seen them anywhere for sale but any little plastic chairs (from Ikea or Wal Mart) can be used there. The playhouse has provided hours of fun for our kids and all their friends. We initially assembled it in our basement and later decided to keep it there for year around play! The comment to assemble the roof before attaching it is probably a good idea as we had trouble gettig the roof on correctly. You will have to drill a few new holes but I also suggest that you attach the counter piece on the outside as shown in the photo and NOT inside as the directions show. There isn't much space left if you have that table on the inside of the playhouse.

I have not decided which house to buy my daughter, but wanted to let you all know that at Sam's club the house does come with the chairs. Hope this is helpful....and, here at least, it's cheaper than at other stores....

We bought this for our daughters 1st birthday. She isn't walking yet, but I seen how she holds on to the window or wall & reaches for the table & walks while reaching.
I would definitely advise to put the table on the outside for more play room. My 4 yr old & 1 year old really like this house. It's also something you can have around for years to come & it's SUPER cute!

This playhouse is great! The house is very easy to put together! After reading the other reviews we put the table on the outside it leaves much more play room that way and we put the roof on together first like the review said and it worked great!! My daughter just love this and there is plenty of room in it that she will not out grow it right away!! Thanks for all the great reviews they really helped!!
