Ok. So i bought this item for my then 4yr old dtr last year for Christmas. I didn't get this particular package deal; instead, I purchased everything seperately. I have everythign in this package EXCEPT the chair and the apron. So, I will reveiw the items that I have.

To begin, the house itself is amazing. It did take a few attempts to get the darn thing together (i may have gotten it on the first try if i had read the directions more carefully). Once we got that together though, everything else was cake. The house is like a painted fabric almost, that is stretched over a metal frame. This makes the whole house (both halves) very light weight and easy to move around. This is a plus since you can "nest" the two halfs within each other and it isnt too heavy for kiddo's to move around. Also, the fabric can be removed and washed if say, the dog mistakes the corner of the house for a tree... :) It's sturdy enough, too. Our cat lounges on the "roof" where the chimny is, and so far, it has held her weight. No bending or denting. The door opens up and secures again using a magnet which is very well sewn in and the little windows have mesh netting. The painting or print or whatever it is that makes the house so colorful is very pretty and quaint. I did not find it to be abstract or ugly in any way. The colors are very girlish but not so icky pink that you just want to puke! :D

As for the little "appliances", they are made from a sturdy cardboard like wood. I dont think it's wood, but more cardboard. But the cardboard is very thick and not like a cardboard box type material. It really is sturdy. The appliances are fairly light weight as well and were (at age 4) and are (at age 5) easy for my dtr to move around. We have the sink, stove, washer, baby bed and changing table. The sink is basic molded plastic fixtures with a water basin. I dont recal any moving parts on the sink. THe stove has knobs that click when you turn them to turn on the "burners". The washer has a little clear door on it that opens to a simple shelf where kids can put doll clothes (or in my dtr's case, french fries). The top is flat. The baby bed is like a little bassenet. It has slight rockers on the bottom so that the bed rocks a tiny bit. It will fit a standard sized baby doll, probably around 12 inches or so... Anyway, the changing table is pretty basic. It's a table with sides and has a slightly depressed surface and comes with a little mat for changing baby dolls.

As for size, this is a considerably sized toy. When the two halves are put together in the shape of a house, the total space is around 12 square feet - it's around 4ft long on each of the four sides. But, when nested, its half that. I have the house set up in an "L" shape in teh corner of my dtr's room. We dont generally let her move it around since her room is fairly small, but in a bigger playroom or outside, I dont think the size would be an issue.

When i purchased this product, i also got a play cooking set and veggies (including french fries) from Target so that it would give off more of a dramatic play feel. It has been an amazing addition to our dtr's playroom. I bought this product after watching an episode of John and Kate Plus 8. If it can survive 6 toddlers, it will definately stand up to my 1 kindergartener!! :D

I LOVE this product and would deffinatly recommend it to my friends and other parents!! :D

I bought this for my grandaughter on the Walmart clearance aisle. I paid $40.00 for the cottage and stove, $17.00 for the washer, $17.00 for the sink, and $28.00 for the baby cradle and changing table. It was difficult to get the house together even reading the instructions. It is cute and my grandaughter loves playing house but I would Never pay what they are asking for it. Just do your homework because you can get it considerably cheaper.

Didn't come with all pieces, some parts were missing. Very dificult to put it together. I wouldn't buy it again.

I love this house! The pieces are a little generic, but it still serves its purpose and is fun! A little difficult to put the cloth over the bars, so watch out for that!

Undoubtedly the BEST playhouse ever. Totally genius design. Easy to snap together with no tools at all. Beautiful, sturdy and perfectly wonderful in EVERY way. Pair it with Melissa and Doug cookies and a AG baby doll and our 3 year old is in heaven. Loves to "wash" the baby's diaper and jammies then dress baby, put her down for a nap and bake some muffins! The chair is cozy and doesn't roll over. The apron and mitt are as cute as can be. I got a deal on it at Christmas so watch the prices. I paid $230 total but it'd be worth every penny you have to pay I promise!

We bought this product for our then 2 y/o grandaughter for christmas and we liked it because it's a good size and you can take it down and store it.. it's big like a little tykes house!! she's a VERY active little girl and it keeps her BUSY BUSY BUSY and my daughter has NOT been able to take it down because she plays with it all the time and she's even fell asleep inside!! I highly recommend it to anyone with an active girl!! it is very cute and very durable for being able to take it apart!!

We bought my daughter the Mega Pack for her 3rd birthday and she loves it. It is too cute. The directions for assembly were clear and it was easy to put together. It's light weight and easy to move. I think it's a very good size for my daughter and does not take up too much space in her room. All the pieces seem to be very well constructed. It's great to have all the pieces. My daughter's favorite pieces are the stove and the washing machine. She immediately had to find some clothes to wash and has enjoyed making muffins and cake. We bought the stew n simmer set and the birthday set separately. These are a great addition to the house. I would highly recommend this playset.

We bought this for our almost 3 yo twin girls and they love it. It is great as it does not take up too much space and is flexible. The accessories are pretty sturdy and very cute. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for something fun for your toddler to do.

My kids are 6, and 2 and both of them love it!My 6 year old has to get on her knees but it does not bother her at all. A great buy!

Thats all she wanted, so i was like SWEET i don't need to get alot of small things and spend tons of money. With the bundle pack, I feel like we got everything she needed to have a blastie!
