My daughters, 3 and 5 love this doll house.  Please note that you have to purchase your own dolls/people separately.  Also, it is not modern looking - some kids might like something more updated in decor and furniture.  My girls, however, don't seem to notice and love it. This took my husband 3 hours to assemble, and that was with a power drill... I'm sure it would take much longer if you only used the little wrench things that are provided.
