My little 5 year old twin granddaughters got this beautiful dollhouse for Christmas. It is big and very sturdy. It took a couple of pretty long sessions to put it together but I had only 2 little blips that were not too hard to fix. The hardware was the type you would use to put together a standard size desk or baby bed. It has a lot of furniture and accessories that are so cute and just the right size for Barbie and her friends. I did add a small Barbie type car for the garage. The girls can reach the top floor, but cannot see it, so I will get a couple of small stools to use until they get a little bit taller. I was so glad I chose this dollhouse instead of the Barbie Dream house which is made of cardboard and plastic. This house will last for years!
