It was quite easy to assemble, I would say took no longer than an hour or hour and a half to put together.
Furniture that’s included is already assembled, one complaint is that two furniture pieces were crushed, and one was chipped a bit, but one phone call to KidKraft later, and those replacement pieces are on their way in the mail!
Another couple “complaints”, of sorts, is that the bed isn’t long enough for a 12” Barbie doll, as you can see in the pics, Ken’s feet are hanging off the bed and his head can’t lay on the pillow either. However, most of the time she uses the bed like a BUNK BED, and Ken fits just fine on the “TOP BUNK”! Lol Then there’s the bathtub, as you can see in the pics,
Barbie can’t fit in the tub either, however Chelsea and her friend fit beautifully. Wished they made Barbie and Ken like they did in “my day”, their legs bent at the knees! If her doll’s legs could bend their knees, I’m certain they would fit in both the bed and the bathtub.
The kitchen only comes with a sink/cabinet, but I was able to find a kitchen set that FITS PERFECTLY! As you can see in the pics, we’ve spread the kitchen out into 2 rooms, but they do all fit in just the kitchen room, but are unable to open all the doors when we did that. We decided to put the kitchen sink in the bathroom instead, and that worked out beautifully.
The nursery room isn’t tall enough for Barbie Mom/Dad to stand upright, but works great as a playroom for Chelsea and her friend.
Overall, we are VERY HAPPY with this almost all WOODEN dollhouse. Great price, great quality, compared to “Barbies Dream House”, which is all plastic and from reviews I read is always coming apart.
This dollhouse is sturdy, HUGE, beautiful rooms, lots of surprising details on all floors, porch ceilings and walls, inside and outside side walls, no decoration on the backside. Would dare to say this is heirloom quality and, if taken care of properly, could most definitely be passed on to the next generation.
It also comes with a safety device, to attach to a wall in your home, so it won’t tip over and fall on the child.
Thank you, Amazon and Kid Kraft, for a wonderful buying and playing experience!
