My 3 & 5 year old love this toy! The lights turn off and on in two of the rooms and the accessories and Calico Critters are super cute. It is a little small to fit all the accessories (like the bathroom fits the tub, toilet and small wall sink), but my kids enjoy trading them out and re-decorating any way. There is a bigger version of this one if you prefer more room. They enjoy plaing with all the little rooms and it is better if we elevate it so they can both play. It doesn't open to a 180 flat front, which does sometimes make it difficult for both to play at the same time, but it is very durable and withstands a lot.

My daughter received this house for her eighth birthday and loves it. I've seen a lot of reviews from people who bought it for a 2-year-old, which I don't understand, because all of the play pieces that go with it would present a choking hazard for such a young child. That said, the only limitation I see is that the rooms could be a little bigger, but that's my observation, not my daughter's. She has no complaints whatsoever. She doesn't do much playing inside the house. Her play mostly involves deciding where everything should go, setting it all up, and shuffling it around until it's just right.
People with limited storage/play space will appreciate the manageable size of this piece. My friend's daughter has a gigantic Barbie castle that looms over any room he puts it in and take up all the space in the room when it's open and being played with. This is a more reasonable size and just as much fun.
The house seems sturdy enough for normal play, and the lights that really light up are very cool. Some people have dogged this product in their reviews, but I think it's a neat little house. More importantly, my daughter really likes it and uses it.

If you have ever bought a Calico Critters set that comes with accessories, you will know that they are all made of plastic. I have the Cloverleaf Corners Nursery School, which is all plastic but is still durable and does not have tiny, breakable plastic parts. I cannot say the same for this plastic dollhouse for Calico Critters. I bought it because the Nursery School was durable although plastic. I really did not want to buy a plastic toy, but at the time, I could not find a wood dollhouse small enough to fit the 3" maximum height of the Critters. I returned this item. Then, I found that Real Good Toys has a line of heirloom-quality, pre-built, painted and ready to play 1/2 scale wood dollhouses which have a ceiling height perfect for 3" characters. They are beautiful and reasonably priced and much better quality than the Calico Critters' own townhouse, which is plastic. Real Good Toys just expanded (as of May 2008) their line of pre-built dollhouses and there is now an adorable 1/2 scale pink dollhouse that is just darling. They fit Calico Critters perfectly and are of heirloom quality...search for Real Good Toys 1/2 scale Farmhouse in pink or 1/2 scale Colonial see the company's website at (insert the company's name).com I wish Amazon would carry Real Good Toys' finished dollhouses... This plastic product, however, will not stand up to years of play.

My 3 year old just received this house, and she is having a ball with it. We read reviews and were a little concerned that it would be too small, but it's really not. You just have to get a little creative with the furniture layout - and rearranging furniture in a doll house is half the fun anyway. Also, you can move part of the floor, one of the walls, and the staircase so you can change it up easily. I do wish the stairs were a little better designed - they work great in some spots but fall off more easily in others - but it's not a big deal. The little lights are very cute.
SO SMALL!!! December 11, 2006

I bought this townhouse for my daughter last Christmas with high expectations. Man, was i disappointed!!!! Okay, it IS incredibly cute. The pictures on the box make it look perfect, and if that's all you were gonna do with it--look at it--this house would be great. But if you actually want to PLAY with it, which, i'm assuming, is essentially the purpose, then you're just outta luck with this house. There is just NO WAY to fit anything in this house....it's just too small! It's too small in 2 ways: 1) not enough rooms in the house and 2) not enough room in each room--you can't fit all your furniture in there--much less little hands. We mostly just use our Calico furniture out on our dining room table. I'd recommend purchasing a REALLY BIG doll house if you actually want to play with the Critters IN the house. Of course, Calico Critters company doesn't make ANY of their houses big enough, so you'd have to go with a completely different brand of house. That's what i plan to do.
