Doll House Miniatures

Reviews

The toy arrived quickly and my 4 (soon to be 5) year old niece loves it, she takes it everywhere.

I thought the in-house pieces would be less abundant but much more sturdy and better quality-- like the old playschool toys I remember. Still, it was fun to have under the tree.

My wife and I purchased this for our 4 year daughter for Christmas and it is a very wonderful product. Unlike the more expensive ones we looked at this set comes with tons of pieces to go inside and play with. From people and furniture down to small details like flowers and vases. We travel a lot so the portability of this set was a huge sell. The quality seems very good and look forward to having this set for many years.

The Take Along Dollhouse was a bit of a disappointment to me,but I'm the grandmother,so I'm not there to see how my granddaughter responds after the party. The house itself was rather skimpy inside and the little twin beds barely fit in the bedroom. Also the figures of the children were so very small as were many of the accessories which also had to be assembled, a tedious task which my son devoted about a half hour to while our little girl waited to be able to play with it. I had hoped for something better considering the Playmobil name. I probably would not buy it again if I had seen it before she opened it. For the price, I would have chosen something else.

The pieces are adorable, and I love playmobil, but the pieces that hold the two parts of the house together come apart very easily.

I had a difficult time finding the family that went with the Melissa & Doug Victorian dollhouse, but was able to find it from Kid Genius. I am unable to review the durability, popularity of the item with my daughter as of yet, but I can say the supplier was very helpful and prompt with delivery.

I bought this for my daughter's 4th birthday. It arrived within two days and was extremely easy to put together. All the pieces slot into place so it is just as easy to dismantle, but is sturdy enough for children to play with. I am very impressed with the finish of the house. The sash windows open and shut, and stay shut with magnets. My daughter opens the roof herself and takes it off to make the front path. We bought 3 sets of furniture for the house (drawing room, kitchen and bedroom) and you really don't need any more, although we'll probably also get the children's bedroom. The accessories are wonderful with fantastic attention to detail, eg. the kitchen has milk bottles for the fridge and a slice of toast in the toaster; the chairs have tie-on cushions - and all made out of wood and fabric rather than plastic. The family is cute (although not currently available on Amazon; we bought it separately). They are primarily wood but are jointed so that can stand, sit, dance etc. The gift was a huge success and I expect she will be playing with it for many years.

I bought my daughter the Plan Toys My First Dollhouse and Basement when she was two -- it was so sturdy she could stand on it and it wouldn't budge. It was solid wood but plain, completely unadorned. Last Christmas, when she turned four, Santa brought this dollhouse as her "big girl" dollhouse. It is very pretty. It looks charming in her room. My only complaint is that it is not quite as sturdy as the Plan Toys dollhouse, (in that it will move ever so slightly if you give it a sideways nudge, unlike the other one, which will not budge) but it is made for an older child, not a toddler, so she is fine with it and now that she is five, it is perfect. It doesn't fit all the furniture sets I bought: the Rosebud bedroom, dining room, drawing room, living room, nursery/children's bedroom set (for the attic, bathroom and kitchen. We keep the kitchen and bathroom in the Plan Toys dollhouse, as this one JUST fits the rest. The furniture is made for an older child; one drop on the floor and the door fell off the armoir of the Rosebud Bedroom set. A little superglue worked great, but I would prefer not to have her be so careful, since things will get dropped. All in all, it was a good purchase. It was very, very easy to put together, the screened decor is truly lovely, and it is very, very big. It was a showstopper under the tree!
