My daughter received this doll house for Christmas. My husband and I tried unsuccessfully to assemble it. This is not a project for beginners! We have now hired someone who can hopefully follow the directions and assemble it. The person who bought it thought that it came with all the paint, accessories, etc. It is just a box full of plywood sheets. We are very disappointed in this product.

I don't know if they didn't when you got yours, but all the ones I've seen say they need to be put together and painted. You just use regular house paint and primer that you'd use on your walls. I don't know if hiring someone to do it was teaching the kid a good lesson; had it been fully assembled, they are still fragile and children need to beware of this. I've done these before, and you need small tools, ie Dremel drill, small pliers, manicure scissors, small wirecutters, and so on. Even as is, the child can still learn a lot be learning to measure, how to sand, and how to be careful with her things; which children don't learn unless they have to put effort into it. It's a gorgeous dollhouse, but what I read said nothing about being assembled or including paint.
