5.0 out of 5 stars 1/2 scale beauty, January 8, 2010

This is a lovely dollhouse. I own one. I can only wish that the product description would clearly state that it is half scale. That is, it's scaled to represent "real life" at one twenty-forth of real life scale. 1/24th scale is also referred to as half scale.
I hope this helps, 'cos it seems to me that someone not aware of this fact could be in for a shock.

Important to note that this is not the typical dollhouse size. The product description doesn't say, and I bought it expecting a 1 inch scale house. It is a half scale (1/2 inch) dollhouse. If you are looking for something smaller, this is a nice kit. It's easy to put together and the directions are clear. I also like the two-sided opening, so two kids can play without getting in each others way.

IT'S FUN - IT's GREAT. This house is an exceptional buy. You can build as shipped and it will be very nice, or you can upgrade with extras listed in the instructions. It seems to be the most compact of the miniature dollhouses too which might be a plus for storage since it doesn't come apart. Calling it a dollhouse is a little deceiving because it is a miniature and well suited to an adult builder -the sky's the limit on tricking this house out. The more craft experience you have of any type, the easier the build and more creative you can be.
Although the instructions and piece sheets are daunting, it is relatively easy to construct if you follow the directions.The fits are tight, but pieces do fit well for the most part. They do mean it when they say construct in the order directed. I did use a very small file to enlarge some slots a little (some tab/slot places just woulnd't fit) and a nailfile to smooth tight places. I needed a small hammer to tap parts in that fit tightly. Tweezers might not be bad.
Before you buy, examine the reason you're buying. If you expect to assemble this on Christmas Eve for the next morning, it won't happen. If you take the time to do a nice job (which is easy but does take time) decide whether you'll let a child play with this as a dollhouse. It's pretty sturdy, but will smudge and may break. If you can't stand that after all your work, buy the child another type of house. This house is probably for an older child who might collect miniatures or help with construction. If you want to buy the house just for the challenge and fun - you can't go wrong.
