KidKraft Sparkle Mansion Wooden Dollhouse with Lights & Sounds, Swimming Pool, Balcony, Elevator and 30 Accessories, Pink, Gift for Ages 3+, Amazon Exclusive

This is an amazing Barbie house. It's big enough to be used by many other similar-height dolls, too. I have to say, it was extremely easy to put together. Every piece has a number sticker. The instructions are good, too, only once did I have something backwards. All the nuts and bolts are very clearly marked - they come in a plastic container (hidden between several pieces of the house), and each different type is in its own separate section, so you open just the one you need, one at a time - very, very easy and headache-eliminating. There are also several sets of the same screw, but their tips are color-coded, so that you can use the right one to match the design - so the blue screw will blend into the blue siding of the house, and so on (that part takes some planning, so we didn't worry about matching). Assembly does take up to 3 hours, maximum, but it's not difficult - the numbered pieces really reduce arguments, lol. It's huger than I expected - it's very tall, and will be over a 6YO head. Contrary to other reviews, I think the house is very sturdy and the wood is much thicker than I expected. It's a very strong board, vs the actual Barbie house, which is like cardboard. That there are several floors actually makes the entire thing more stable - it's put together with several interlocking bolts. Even the furniture pieces are made of a very thick wood. Even if it's particleboard, doesn't matter - it's very durable and sturdy. Few notes: Take all the pieces out first and put them in numerical order so you can work faster, and keep in mind a few of the smaller construction pieces are hiding in the tub and other furniture. The piano and lamp come with 3 batteries each already installed - you just need to take out that plastic tab. Although one toy was missing one battery, so we bought just one. Our house had all the screw holes in the right places - I think in manufacturing tons of these, there will be a few duds, but you can probably assume yours will be fine. all in all, it's such a better deal than that teeny Dream House, which costs 3X the price, and is 3X smaller. Also, this being bigger, means many kids can play with it at once. Just make sure you have room for it - it's roughly 5 feet tall by 4 feet wide and over 1 foot deep.

That's a cute and functional BIG dollhouse! I'm trying to write now a decent review for you but let me apologize for my English just in case some lines doesn't make sense. I'm originally from Germany but will try my best. My 4 1/2 years old daughter getting really creative while playing with this dollhouse. For example arranging the bathroom into the living room or the kitchen to the bed room, there are so many ways to get constructive :D Even her Barbie's fit in there just perfect. Also the beach car which is available at any Barbie car dealer has enough space in the attached garage ;> The piano plays one short melody (about 3 sec.) by pressing the key section. It sounds like a mix out of an old Wurlitzer and Synthesizer. The sound is acceptable. The one floor lamp really lights up and switches off automatically after some seconds. Though the elevator is going a bit tight up and down but I could help loosen it by pushing it up and down really fast several times, now it works smoother. The quality of the house is good. I would give it an 8 on a scale from 1-10. I had to fix some minor things. Some parts came with a sort of glued on layer which provide the textures/colors, so some edges peal up a little. But some super crazy glue can fix that. No problem. Also on the hinges to the garage doors were some screws missing and when I assembled the elevator, the wood were kind of breaking off while putting the screws in because the Plexiglas is under some serious tension. I recommend bending it first really good before assembling the elevator, maybe with help of warming it up with a hair dryer (but honestly I don't know if this really would make a difference, I'm not a Plexiglas expert). I was a bit disappointment at first that this happened BUT no problem, all you have to do is writing a short email to the support and they reacted right away very friendly and send a replacement for the missing/broken parts immediately! Excellent! One last thing I want to mention, maybe it helps you to save some time. I did a little mistake in the beginning when assembling the house. Maybe I didn't read the introduction carefully enough or I just was too excited to put it together but whatever, there are some screws in the set with the same number and size but different colors on the head for the different levels on the house. I notice it too late, so I had to fix it in the end to match the right screw colors with the colors of the house. Maybe this problem could be simply bypassed by the manufacturer by calling them (for example) "8a, 8b, 8c, etc..." I think this was a good little investment, I'm sure my daughter will have fun with this dollhouse for a long time, I'm guessing till she 9 or 10 and I wish all her toys would/could last that long. Thank you!

Took a few hours to assemble partly because I couldn't find the darn elevator piece but it was in the furniture box, inside the Tub, wrapped up. TIP: For assembly, use a drill and if you can somehow make a bit out of the allen wrench thingy and put that in a drill as well you can put this thing together under an hour. If you have a hack saw or other doohickey, cut one and leave the other. I have a 7 year old and 4 year old and they are all in at this very moment. Thank you. 5 Star. Great quality. Elevator is a little stiff tough, I think partly because the that particular wall is a tad warped. But I can live with that, still 5 stars. They love all the pieces that come with. Furniture is very sturdy, thick blocky pieces, but still adorable at the same time. Came in a single heavy box. TIP: Have location mapped out where you would like to assemble. TIP: If its going to be a surprise and you want to assemble in a garage or something, have a board ready to slide it onto. You will need two people to move very carefully TIP: Get a drill, it'll speed it up just a tad bit, set the drill to a low torque setting though. TIP: Elevator pieces are in the tub that will be wrapped TIP: Have some music and a drink when you assemble it is a chore TIP: The screws can be color coordinated to the walls they go into. Pick the correct colors. TIP: Record the memory with a video camera when showing the girls

Facile à monter (planches numérotées) mais long prévoir 3/4h. Les objets sont vraiment beaux et nombreux, belle qualité et maison immense je m’attendais pas à sa. ma fille de 3 ans est ravie même si elle atteint pas le dernier étage ! Mais elle va la garder un bon moment. Quelques griffes et défauts sur certaines planche mais sa se voit plus une fois monté. Il est juste dommage la voiture de barbie ne rentre pas dans le garage. Sinon Je recommande cet achat

Primero una felicitación al vendedor, ya que lo recibimos antes de la fecha prevista, y eso es de agradecer en fechas tan señaladas como las previas a reyes. El embalaje era perfecto, cada pieza perfectamente envuelta para no deteriorarse las unas con las otras. Vienen un montón de complementos, todos ellos de madera y muy bien acabados. La bañera es de plástico, lo cual es de agradecer, por si a los niños les da por llenarla de agua, que es muy probable. La lamparita viene con luz, y el piano suena. Las pilas están incluídas. La casa es enorme y muy detallada. El montaje está muy bien explicado en las instrucciones, a pesar de ser laborioso, ya que es una casa grande, pero en realidad es sencillo de montar y queda fantástico. No falta un solo tornillo ni pieza. Es un modelo espectacular y no hay nada absolutamente que defraude. La única pega, y es cuestión de gustos, es que prima demasiado el color rosa. Quizás si cada habitación fuera de un color se haría un poco más atractiva, pero eso es solo cuestión de gustos. ¡A mi hija le encanta el rosa! Es un placer de casita, eso sí, hay que tener sitio donde meterla. ¡Encantados con la compra!

No paro de jugar con ella! Es enorme y muy hermosa! Llegó pronto y muy bien empacada.

Der Aufbau hat den Papa zwar 2h gekostet, dafür war die Freude der Tochter zum Geburtstag umso größer. Unsere Tochter mit 105cm ist noch immer zu klein um aufs Dach schauen zu können :-) Für die riesige Hütte passt der Preis. Super Puppenhaus, der Aufbau war relativ einfach für geübte Handwerker. An manchen Stellen könnte die Anleitung besser sein z.B. in welche Richtig was zeigen muss weil beide Seite bis auf die Farbgestaltung gleich sein, aber gut. Einzig der Fahrstuhl ist sehr schwergängig und wird nur mit 2 Schrauben an der Wand gehalten. Das muss ich nochmal ändern weil er so für ein Kleinkind nicht nutzbar ist. Ansonsten sehr viel Zubehör dabei, passend alles für die Barbie Puppen. Ein Bauteil habe ich leider selbst kaputt gemacht weil nicht aufgepasst, aber sonst blieb alles ganz. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Känns som ett hållbart hus som tål mycket. En riktigt glad tjej här hemma.
