Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We looked at every dollhouse -- on-line and up close. Our criteria was:
1. Made of wood
2. Durable
3. Large enough for (2) children to simultaneously play
4. Not made in China
This beautiful Victorian dollhouse fit the bill - the pictures, while nice, don't do this product justice. Imposing and elegant, easy to construct, and durable. So far it's been a catalyst for hours of rich, imaginative play.
If you're not familiar with Plan Toys, there are other incentives for buying this product. They are a designated Green company. The wood comes from recycled rubber trees, non-toxic glues are employed and, while not applicable here, organic vegetable dyes are used instead of paint. The company is located in Thailand, where the toys are also manufactured.
I gave it (5) stars but there were (2) imperfections, one the fault of shipping, the other by design:
1. A shard of gable trim was broken upon opening the box. It arrived a day before the birthday so I repaired with a quality wood glue. Since the shard fit perfectly and didn't splinter, it was a perfect fit and undetectable.
2. As another reviewer mentioned, the stairs are not stable -- if the house is moved or jostled they fall down. Again, I used wood glue and it can now survive a rough night at sea.
However, given the ease of remedying the staircase issue, I would hardly label this a show stopper.
