(More customer reviews)I built this doll house about 13 years ago; it was a lot of fun. From the beginning it was to be an English house; I referred to several books on old English houses for ideas. I made several alterations in the exterior, used "slate" shingles, omitted the rather corny balcony -- anyway, it was a beauty and was eventually donated to a local arts group who auctioned it twice [the first winner having donated it back], the second time for $2000 - probably far less than I had in it, for it was fully and nicely furnished. This is a large doll house, and constructing it, decorating and furnishing it took several months of all my spare time. Note: the kit uses 1/4" plywood, not the heavier wood of the more expensive houses. I ended up using an entire [small] room for the construction that became full of adhesives [I used Liquid Nails], taping compound [for the stucco], paint, stain, and so on. I had thin glass cut for the windows, and pounded lead solder, cut it and glued it on to make "real" leaded glass. All items, for instance baseboards and the woodwork around the doors, and all components of the stairways, if you want them to look nice, will have to be bought separately, so it's good to have a doll house shop nearby. Because of the unusual and interesting floorplan, this house is one I would build again. The price is very attractive.
