my daughter LOVES this dollhouse. Its for C-mas, but I got it out to make sure everything was there. Well, my 17 mo old saw it and LOVED it, even when it was not all put together. When I tried to box it up, she threw a fit. The people are just the right size for chubby toddler hands. The chairs are a little hard for a toddler to get one of the people to sit in them. There are also a few sounds, but not so many that it discourages imagination. It seems very durable. I know there are a few extra "rooms" you can get to add furniture (recommended because this house comes with very little), but the house is not too big, so not sure how all the available accessories will fit, but I am sure they will.

Now I can't wait for C-mas so I can get it back out and we can play house!

I researched many doll houses for my 2 year old, and chose this one for price and durability. The people are "chunky" enough for her to hold because she's not dainty about moving them. At first I thought it funny that it came with a toilet, but she likes to put the little girl on the potty (potty training...makes sense). She really enjoys pretending with this set. We also bought three of the add-ons. I'd recommend only getting one though, because the doll house can't fit all the furniture at the same time. Also, there isn't a brother doll, which we'd like to see. I found out her day care has the same set. That shows it can take a lot of use. Overall, good value.

The retailer needs to revise the description of this product! Take note, the doorbell and phone DO NOT MAKE SOUNDS!!!! Therefore, the toy DOES NOT take batteries.

This house is very durable and my 2 year old daughter was thrilled when she received it for her birthday. She played with it for about an hour but then lost interest. There isn't a lot of furniture that comes with the house and I think that may be why she lost interest. I know you can buy additional accessories but found them to be an expensive addition. I may have to though to get her interested in the toy again.

My biggest disappointed was in discovering that the doorbell and phone DO NOT WORK and the toy DOES NOT make any sounds. I found the retailer's description very misgiving and probably would not have added this to my daughter's birthday wish list if I had known this as I thought the sounds were a really "cool" feature. I would also have likely given this product 4-5 stars if the doorbell and phone did make sounds.

I purchased this for my daughter when she was 20 months old. The sound features (doorbell and phone) never worked. I agree that the paint comes off of the dolls too easily from normal play. My daughter never put them in her mouth, and the paint has scratched right off most of the dolls. I have to say that at first this was her favorite toy, but we purchased the extra sets from Fisher Price for added play value. She played with this hard for about 5 months, but now she has discovered the larger version with added detail which she wants for Christmas. I almost wish I would have just waited and bought her the 3 and up one instead. While I think this is a good dollhouse for introducing the concept of dollhouse play, it didn't hold her attention as long as I would have liked and now is rarely played with months later. My advice is to wait and buy the larger Grand Dollhouse which is probably fine for a two and a half year old even though the box says 3.

I honestly wasn't sure our daughter was ready for a dollhouse at age 2, but put it on her birthday list because it looked fun. Wow, this gift was the hit of her birthday! She plays with it all the time. The pieces are nice and sturdy, able to stand up to a two-year-old. I love the fact that it's a quiet toy and that it's all up to our daughter's imagination. She has the best time making the parents walk around the house and putting the baby on the potty, creating her own stories as she plays (mimicking a lot of what we say). Very cute! We're all getting a lot of enjoyment out of this toy.

We bought a couple of the additional rooms, which was a wise investment. It allows for more creative play with the house and they're not that expensive.

The surprising benefit to this dollhouse is that our five-year-old son likes it, too! We were floored when he started fighting with his sister over it, because he's such a boy boy (only into trucks, action figures, things that crash, etc.). He loves moving things around in the house and is happy when his sister naps because he can run his action figures all around the structure.

Highly recommend this dollhouse!

this dollhouse was bought for a 1 1/2 year old. She really likes to play with it, but I was disappointed that all of the furniture does not fit in the house. We bought all available furniture, baby' room, sister's room, mom and dad room, living room, and grandma and stroller. There are only 2 bedrooms and furniture for 3 bedrooms. Also there is a table and chairs for the kitchen along with living room furniture. Both rooms of furniture do not fit in the bottom of the house comfortably.

I gave this dollhouse to my niece for her 2nd birthday. She has had the best time with "her house". I love our play time together with the house and it has really helped strengthen her language skills. She imitates what she sees others doing in the house and is able to talk about it so much quicker by reinforcing her language through play. She's even teaching the baby to use the potty! It's light enough so that she can carry it anywhere she wants, but sturdy enough so if she drops it, it doesn't break. The pieces are also a perfect fit for small hands.

The only drawbacks I see are that 1) you have to pay for the furniture individually, which makes it rather expensive and 2) there isn't room for everything (I wanted to get her the sister's room, but it won't fit).

I bought this for my 2 year old daughter and we love it. My baby is rough on toys and this house can take her abuse.

This is a great first dollhouse.

I bought this dollhouse for my niece's 2nd birthday. She LOVES it. A total hit. It's a pretty cool toy that can hold a toddler's attention for a few minutes ... and this one she played with all day after receiving it. Her mom can't believe it.

I looked around for quite a while trying to decide on the best dollhouse for the age group, and for the money this is by far the best I found.

My daughter received this doll house for her 2nd bday and she love to play with it. Keeps her busy for quite a while - and that's very helpful to mommy!! Great for learning hot to pretend play. I suggest purchasing some of the rooms furniture when you buy the house, otherwise it will be fairly empty.
