This review is from: Melissa & Doug Fold & Go Dollhouse (Toy)

We just bought this doll house for our 5 year old daughter and it was an instant hit. For those considering making the purchase, here are my thoughts about this toy.

I think this doll house looks quaint, and for my part I think that wooden doll houses are just much nicer than plastic ones (even though there are some really cute plastic ones around). I particularly like the fact that the garage door and front door can open and close--very realistic!

The couple that comes with it is very cute and they have moveable legs, so they can sit on the furniture, etc. The furniture does not look like "real life" furniture (may be a problem for some people) but I thought it was nice anyway and also it is really sturdy. My daughter has a younger brother and we don't have to worry about him breaking anything because the pieces that came with the house are solid and well-made.

Some people mentioned the problem with the glued on labels. Perhaps the manufacturer has been reading these reviews because the labels on the house we bought came off quite easily (my 3 year old son pulled them off with no problem).

What disappointed me about this house were three things. First, although the house folds shut, which makes it portable as advertised, the handles don't fasten together. If you are carrying it you have to be careful to keep both handles together or the house will slip open and the furniture will fall out. I think they should have included a simple clasp that would keep both halves together.

Second, you can't take the clothes off the dolls. My daughter wanted to put the figures in the bath, but felt that she had to undress them first. So that wasn't a plus.

Finally, although I love the figures and the furniture, I'd like to be able to add to what I have. If you buy a more traditional type house it isn't difficult to buy more furniture. With this set, though, it would be hard to find furniture that matched.

All told, my complaints are few. I am glad we bought the toy, it was well worth the money, and my daughter loves it!

This toy house is sure to become an heirloom in our family. Although it's listed for 3 year-olds, my 2 year-old daughter took to it immediately. I don't think she really understand the rooms particularly but it's fun for her to pretend with the "Momma" and "Daddy" dolls. This house could be very much fun to paint and decorate.
My only complaint is that the labels are glued to the roof eaves and very hard to remove....why wouldn't the manufacturers use that tacky glue that comes off so easily?

This is a terrific doll house! I work in a school environment and selected this house because of its appeal to both boys and girls; so many doll houses are pink and purple and that could be a turn-off to some boys. I'm pleased to say that the boys frequently pick this house during free play. In addition, it is very durable; I have had this house for more than 3 years and it still looks nearly brand-new! I agree with one of the other reviewers that it would have been great if the manufacturer had added a clasp to keep the house closed while it is being moved. It is tough for little hands to move it without the house spilling open. Nonetheless, this is a great toy! This house is a favorite in my school-room and I think will be years to come.
