Product Description
Inspire make believe play with this Fold and Go Dollhouse. It's a roomy wooden dollhouse that comes complete with two beautiful dolls, 11 pieces of kid-friendly furniture, a working garage door and a convenient carrying handle. An adorable "mobile home," it's solid, lightweight and built to last. It comes completely built and ready for play. Open the box and your little ones are playing in seconds. No glue, no painting or assembly time required. It's perfect for travel. Measures 11.5" x 16" x 10".
While this doll house is really a wonderful toy, there are some aspects of it that greatly dissappointed me.
The furniture that comes with it is made extremely poorly. When we received this house and opened it up: table was broken, chairs were separated from their legs (unglued), bed stands were broken. I am really dissapointed as I expected better quality from Melissa & Doug product. Even if this was a shipping damage (which it honestly does not seem to be), how is this product supposed to endure any child playing with it? It just looks like the wood and glue used are very low quality.
Seeing that most people are happy with this product, may be we were just unlucky and received a bad house.
This was the first dollhouse we got for our girls. I mostly bought it because of the Melissa and Doug brand name and because it was all wooden and not too big. We live in a very small house, so there just isn't room for a huge dollhouse - or even one much bigger than this one. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in it, though, when we got it home, for many of the reasons that others have already mentioned. 1) I didn't like the dolls. They weren't very posable or, well, cool looking. 2) The furniture seemed to be limited to what came with the house. And 3) it was all pretty plain. I didn't know was to do about the first two issues, but I decided to paint the house to spruce it up a bit. That made a big difference! I've uploaded a customer image of our painted house, if you want to see it. I only painted the outside. One of these days, I'll get around to painting the inside too - maybe some wallpaper? Carpeting? :)
A while went by, and we bought some PlayMobil sets - not intending to use them with this dollhouse; they were just bought for fun. In fact, it wasn't until 6 months later or so that it occurred to me that they might be an okay fit in the house. Well, they weren't an "okay" fit - they fit perfectly! That solved problems one and two. PlayMobile has just about anything you could want and a huge variety of styles of furniture, appliances, dish sets (!) - not to mention that you can create a family of people that looks exactly like your own (or whatever you want). We don't have any PlayMobil cars, so I don't know if they would fit in the garage. (I suspect they might be too big.) I've also uploaded two customer images of the dollhouse opened up with the PlayMobile furniture and people, as well as some of the wooden furniture that came with the dollhouse - you can mix and match!
With the discovery that PlayMobil products fit in the dollhouse, I only have good things to say about it. We love its small size and "carrying" feature. Out of the box, it's a bit plain, but if you think of it as a blank template, the cool thing is that you can turn it into whatever you and your kids want it to be. :)
I bought this dollhouse to use while I'm working as a play therapist. I travel, so I needed something easy to move. It is a beautifully made product! And a great value for the money! The furniture that comes with it is nicely crafted. It was exactly what I was looking for!
This is a great compromise if you're looking for a dollhouse, but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars or get a pink plastic monstrosity. All 3 of my kids enjoy playing with it, there's room for princesses and dinosaurs. The furniture holds up great to being chewed on, but the doll hair only made it about a week. Overall, we're happy with it.
My daughter plays with the dollhouse, but not as I expected. She ENJOYS playing with dollhouses... She walks into daycare and that is what she enjoys doing most! She asks to play with the dollhouse, but, at home, the dollhouse is almost ignored most times. Maybe it is the lack of color... I cannot say, to be truthful. I just know that daycare has several dollhouses and they are VERY colorful... people and furniture, which this one has furniture and a couple of people, also, but she just doesn't do much with it. She is 3 yrs of age.
I searched diligently for a dollhouse I could use myself, for thinking about fiction plots. I don't have a lot of space, didn't want to spend too much money, wanted something that would not fall apart, and needed to be able to put it out of reach of my curious dogs.
Buying a dollhouse and then buying furniture separately, oh my, the sky is the limit on expense. That might be lots of fun in a different situation, but not good for mine.
Then I find this dollhouse from Melissa & Doug, a company whose products I trust, and good information about it online. All wood, except I suppose the hair on the two dolls! But all the furniture and the house, wood, wood, wood. It folds easily and fits on a shelf, presto. The garage door opens--what a hoot that is!!! And no batteries!
I just love this little dollhouse. Merry Christmas--to me!
UPDATE:
I've had this now for some months, and I use it every day! It is really well made, durable, and I've relocated it very easily a few times.
I found some different dolls I like better, and added a few pieces of wood to vary the furniture. I boughtt one inexpensive piece at a craft store. Of course I had to add a dog, too! And at Christmas I added a Christmas tree, made of pipe cleaners and beads.
My husband looks at it now and then to see what I'm doing with it. I bought a car at Toys R Us that fits into the garage, so his character leaves in it to go to work or on errands. And he and I both get into it at times, with the dog in the back seat.
This is really a great doll house. I am so glad I found it.
the dollhouse is used as a play therapy tool. It is study enough to weather many children playing different ways. The kids love the garage because it is close to what most kids have.
I especially like how it travels well. I just wish it had a latch, but otherwise is very portable.
I wanted to buy this dollhouse for my daughter (now 3 1/2) last Christmas, but had already purchased all her gifts and couldn't justify spending another $60. I found it this past weekend at a mother's exchange sale in perfect (like new) condition for $10!
I was planning on saving it for Christmas, but my daughter got a look at it and was so excited I couldn't put it away. She has been playing with it since. She even woke up extra early this morning to play with it.
My 20 month old, when her sister gives her the chance, has enjoyed playing with it as well.
The dollhouse is beautiful, solid wood. It is sturdy and has a garage door, front door and cabinets that open and close. The furniture is simple and classic- not the cloyingly sweet pink and purple plastic furniture in most dollhouses. I also love that, in the case we have a boy next, it is gender neutral.
The people are positionable and are charming. I wish it came with a child doll, though.
It would be nice if the handles clasped together, but my daughter usually ends up wrapping her arms around it and carrying it around in a hug (all the while telling me how much she loves her new dollhouse).
I remember having a similar, though plastic, house when I was small and I've enjoyed watching my children derive so much joy with this classic toy. It may not light up or sing songs, but it encourages them to use their imagination and that is worth $60- much less $10.
This dollhouse is great because it opens up for siblings and friends to play side by side together. The house itself seems pretty durable and is very cute! The garage door and front door that really open are a great touch. The dolls are nice and the furniture is nice and simple. I do like that there is not a lot of painted pieces. My sister and mom purchased Ryan's Room furniture to add to it. The Ryan's Room pieces are a bit bigger and higher quality. I imagine that we will replace the M&D furniture eventually with the RR, just due to space issues in the house. There isn't a ton of room to add other furniture sets, but you can get the grill set or the playground set or the pet set for outdoors, etc. Overall, I'm happy with it. My three year old likes to take all the furniture out and put it back in wherever, and my 5 year old likes to organize it all where it belongs. It's nicely transported from room to room, and neither child has had a problem with the handles not latching.
I gave this to my grand daughter for Christmas and she loved it at first sight. We could not tear her away from it. Even my grand son enjoyed playing with his sister with this toy. It was well worth the money. My only regret was that it did not latch when closed.
