My three year old daughter loves this doll house. She can use Barbies and other dolls of a similar size to play with in it. The furniture, potty, and windows that open and close really add to the fun and imaginative play. I love how the size of the dollhouse allows for multiple kids to play with it at once. So far the house and furniture is sturdy enough to hold up to not only her but also her 1 1/2 year old brother. The dollhouse took me half an hour to assemble, I did use a drill instead of a screw driver which made the job go a lot faster. I noticed the hole for the staircase may have been in the wrong place however I decided to use it anyway; it causes the staircase to be slightly away from the wall towards the top; that personally bothers me less than having a hole not in use! This dollhouse has provided independent play, group play, her imagination to grow, and a chance for role playing.
