This set is great. You can either have a nice dinner table with food on the plates by flipping the place mats over or you can pull the table open and up pops a birthday cake. The dolls do sit on the chairs. You can't scoot them under the table but they are close enough anyway. Another really cute set of furniture for the dollhouse.

Ok, I really like the features of the Dora Dollhouse furniture in that it all does some kind of conversion! However - the people can't sit at the table b/c the sides of the table come down too far and they all fall off the chairs - if you can sit them on there at all. Only the jointed papi doll sits on the chair without falling off easily. My 2 year old gets very frustrated!!!!!

Like most people, we bought the Dora House for our daughters for Christmas. We were bummed out to discover the furniture was no where to be found. Instead of paying hugely inflated prices on some websites, we waited...and waited for the furniture to be stocked in stores. FINALLY, the day came (in February) when we found the dining room and bedroom. What a BUMMER! Yes, the tabe does a cool conversion thing, but none of the people can sit at the table. It's almost like the furniture sets are too small for the people. The bunk bed set is a bummer too. The bed looks like a single twin bed. You push a button and the top bed pops up to uncover a second bed underneath. Pretty cool at first, then you realize you can barely fit a doll on the bottom bed. Also, if you put a doll on the top bunk, the weight of the doll pushes the "spring loaded" bed down. My daughters LOVE dollhouses and they are completely UNinterested in this set. I recommend Fisher Price Loving Family Doll House sets.

My daughter gets SOOOOOO frustrated when she can't get the dolls to sit in the chairs. They just tumble right over.

The table itself is nice, though, and she really likes to play with it.

This is really a great doll house, I like the versatility of the different pieces. The shower turns into a bath and the bump bed turns into two beds. I just think Fisher Price has to think about the kids more when designing these products.

What I mean is that...the furniture is too small for the figurines. I brought my niece all the accessories, but she gets frustrated when she can't get them to sit or stand for that matter. The mom and papi don't fit on the see-saw and it's hard to get them to sit at the table.

They should also make it so that when you close it up, the accessories could fit inside. I brought my niece a plasitc ben to put the accessories in.

Even with these draw backs, my niece loves it and pulls it out ever chance she gets.

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she loves this dollhouse. We got the dollhouse for her birthday and all the sets were available to buy. They can be expensive but compared to other sets we chose this one. She loves Dora and she loved this set. Yes it is a little hard to sit them at the table but it teaches them patience and she is constantly entertained by trying to get them to sit. She never becomes frustrated. We have also put Diego on the bottom bunk and Dora on the top and it has worked out. We just got the Momi and Poppi bedroom set and the backyard set and she loves them. We are getting the pool this week. There are alot of things to add to the house that keeps her interest. My nieces play with it for hours when they visit as well and they all have a room that they can play with. Loads of fun for my daughter. Glad I bought it!!!

My kids want to like this set, it's nearly a full kitchen. The thing is, the movable parts are difficult to move. The oven door needs to be pried open and you need to jam your finger down to get the plate settings to move. "Mommy, open it!" is what I end up hearing every 30 seconds or so when my kids play with the set. Also, you can't take the lid off the pot. I realize this might exclude the product from children so young they may eat the lid, but even if it hinged open to reveal SOMETHING in it, it would have been nice. My kids try to take the lid off and I need to re-explain that it just doesn't open. Not a great toy. If your child loves Dora, I suggest getting the Dora figures with a different dollhouse set.

My little girl likes the idea that she has this instead of the other regular table set bec. there's another oven plus a pot & blender that go with it. Like the other table set, you can invert the plates to reveal the food.

There are two kitchen sets to choose from.This is the cheaper option at $7.99.What's nice about it is that it comes with a blender.Too bad it doesn't come with a small pie to put in the oven.

I purchased the Dora the Explorer Talking House Christmas 2005. It was a big hit with my than 3 year old daughter. I 've since added the nursery extension to the house. When Dora's Kitchen Island set came along, I included it on the Christmas 2006 shopping list. My daughter really enjoys the set. I like the fact that the piece fits in with the overall decor of the kitchen. In other words, it does not look out of place. My only issue is that the kitchen floor space is limited and tends to get a little over crowded.
