We purchased the Kidkraft 65252 Majestic Mansion Wooden Dolls House With Furniture And Accessories Included as a Christmas present for our 3 year old granddaughter and she loves it. Never stopped playing with it.
The box it arrives in is quite large, with everything flat packed and well packaged, it recommends a 2 person lift on the box, but I was able to lift and move it on my own.
It took around 3 hours to build, although I'm fairly ok/good with DIY stuff, and there were a couple of points of the build that required my wife to hold some pieces in place until I had them screwed together.
A nice touch of the build is that the heads of the screws are painted to match the colour of the piece they are screwing into, the downside being that since a lot of the screws are the same size and marked with the same letter you'll need to figure out which colour head screw to use based on the panel it's screwing into, or if you're not bothered it will probably save you 10 minutes of build time.
All other pieces of the build are clearly labelled and I found the instructions easy to follow. There are also 2 plastic straps that attach to the back of the house that then attach to the wall to prevent the doll's house tipping over.
The panels feel of good quality and are printed with the respective room or outside wall they are meant to represent when built and put together.
If I was going to be super critical, there is no print on the back of the house, but you're not likely to see that when build as due to the height of the doll's means it is recommended to use the fittings to attach to a secure wall to prevent toppling.
There is a good range of house furniture included and when built the house looks great. Our granddaughter is using it with the smaller Chelsea Barbie dolls, but it can also be used with the full size Barbie's.
