This works great as a bookcase for my tween. She's still in that "I kinda like dolls but I kinda think they might be uncool" phase. She loves calico critters though. This is a bit big for that scale of doll, but it works. It'd be most ideal for 4-6in dolls IF you use it as a dollhouse. But it's really super cute as a bookcase. It gets used as both by my daughter.
