I worked in a toy store over the holidays and fell in love with this Playmobil Victorian Dollhouse. That toy store offers free assembly, and I got to do lots of assembling, so trust me when I tell you two things: 1)Although the assembly is not difficult, it is involved, and it will take you 5 hours if you are doing it alone, so budget enough time for that, and 2)Glue the large roof pieces together. This will increase the storage space that the disassembled dollhouse will require in several years when your children are through with it, but it will make it much, much sturdier. The roof is the only thing that isn't incredibly sturdy, and it's fine with a touch of glue.

The detail on this house is amazing. The windows all open. The flowerboxes and garden urns have flowers with individual stems and heads, so your child can design and redesign the flower arrangements. Doors swing open on hinges. Flooring appears to have tiles or floorboards. And the staircases can either be installed or not, depending on whether your child would prefer more room or a more realistic house.

There is a companion item that you can buy that will add another floor to the bottom of the house, making it a three-floor house all together. Also, there are many sets of furniture available--all of which have all the details that matter to kids: the drawers open, the doors open, there is cutlery to go in the kitchen drawers, etc..

We have friends whose daughters have this house. They love it and have played with it for hours on end. Their older girl only stopped playing with it when she was about 12 years old! All in all, this is a wonderful, fanciful product that will be passed down from child to child for sure.

I was given this dollhouse for christmas when I was 11 years old. I remember helping to set it up on christmas morning. I have wonderful memories of this dollhouse and all the fun little accessories I have collected for it over the years. Even the ones that didn't necessarily fit in the same era (pirates and vikings). Because all the Playmobil sets are set at the same scale, I had hours of fun for several years, creating different senarios for each doll.
Last month I brought this dollhouse out of storage, and though I'm missing a few pieces, I set it up, and it looks just as beautiful as it did the day I opened it.
I am a huge fan of Playmobil. The pieces fit together logically and sturdily (with an exception of the roof), and what's more, when it's properly taken care of, it lasts!
I highly recommend this product!

Santa Claus brought this for my 2.5 year old daughter. She was too little! She did love to play with it, but the parts were too small (we never installed half of them) and hard for little fingers to manipulate. We thought it would "grow with her," but it really would have been better to wait! She is 4 now, and we may get it out again. If you are looking for a dollhouse for a younger child, try something simple like the Fisher-Price one, and buy this one for a later birthday or Christmas.
