KidKraftUptown Wooden Modern Dollhouse with Lights & Sounds, Pool and 36 Accessories

This was the highlight of my daughter’s Christmas presents from Santa. She just turned 3 and is about 36.5 inches tall. She needs a stool to reach the top floor and we need to move the pool to the side.After much searching we gave her 3 Barbie Chelsea Club dolls to go with it - (Barbie’s little sister) they are a great size. One came with a pull out/ trundle bed for sleepovers and it fits perfectly either in the bedroom next to the larger bed, or in the office by the desk. All 3 can sit together on the large bed and “talk”. The accessories that come with this house are for up to a 12-inch (eg Barbie) doll. Chelsea Club dolls are 6-inches tall.The pictures don’t do it justice! It is thoughtfully designed—looks upscale, spacious. I looked at so many dollhouses and the accessories - even the furniture is cool. Nothing incongruous or frumpy about this pad!Pool is a nice proportionately appropriate size.Some reviews are now dated. The batteries came installed with a plastic cover so no leaking.There were no stickers to affix.No guess work with the colored vs non colored screw tops.Comments: Everything arrived intact. Product looks high quality and is sturdy. There was very minor damage to the front panel to the pool area - of all places. Then I ever so lightly over tightened —the front panel of the patio cracked ever so slightly. I will seek replacements.The assembly pictures/ instructions were at times frustrating but adequate. I actually used a magnifying glass a couple times. These could be improved but probably not w out adding either more stickers (up down front back) or elaborate messy drawings in the manual. PRO TIP ;) When assembling refer to a picture of the house, I used the one here on Amazon to determine orientation if panels.There were a couple points where it would have been nice for a second person to hold pieces in place while I screwed.You want to have a large high quality sturdy Philips head screwdriver to work fast.I have (1) screw at the front right of the house that spins and wont tighten. It’s at a key part of the frame so I want to address that, but it’s not an emergency.The floor to the office arrived a little warped. I tried to bend it flat but it is not flush with the surrounding paint/ baseboard.To start, I placed each piece in order.Allow enough space on a flat surface to assemble because it’s big!Just 2 number stickers were missing, this caused some delays. I think the patio lamp was (2) and the sticker was missing…took me a while to figure that out since there are ~80 pieces.Even with referring to an image I put on 2 parts in the wrong orientation, realized right away and fixed.My main frustrations were the elevator and the patio. You think you re in the homestretch well the patio is quite elaborate.Allow yourself enough time - it’s a lot of steps. For the furniture just look at a picture.I was annoyed piano doesnt snap to stand but it has its advantage as a portable keyboard. It plays 1 note sequence.The outdoor lights turns on but shuts off automatically.Toilet can make a flushing sound. There is s toilet lid but no seat.Our desk arrived with no drawers.My daughter thinks the house is perfect. Played with it all day. I can tell it is going to provide lots of entertainment.I was concerned buying such a grown up home for my toddler — but she thinks it’s beautiful and very “life-like” and “the girls” love it.I was a bit upset there is a moped parked along the side. But there is also a beautiful water fountain along the terrace side.My daughter also has a Kidcraft mini playground, sandbox cabana and corner kitchen so we are loyal to the brand. I jokingly say it always galls me to put their “logo” on the item I have been toiling over for hours. The swingset was actually really hard to put together with 2 of us… but they make attractive, high quality products for children.Buy it, you won’t regret it. What made me buy it too was all the ecstatic reviews by parents whose kids loved this house. It is suitable for a range of ages…Our (Fisher Price) Little People have moved out of their little house and are also hanging out in the new dollhouse.Given that my daughter loves this, excellent value for the money. I got it for less on Amazon and it sold out online ahead of Christmas.

I wish I had this when I was little but it’s okay I got it for my daughter and it’s so nice I love it 🥰🥰🥰

Purchased for my 2-year-old Granddaughter and she absolutely loves it. It has lots of furniture pieces to make it a nice playhouse for dolls. The instructions were easy to follow, and I was able to construct most if it by myself. The doll house foundation pieces are nice and sturdy. I am confident it will stand the test of time with a rambunctious toddler. One minor irritant is that the elevator is very hard for smaller children to move up and down. It’s a snug fit and needs some strength to push it up or down, other than, it’s beautiful, well-made and will give the children years of fun.

Bought this doll house to replace the other one we had (also KidKraft) that broke on our move a few months ago. My daughter (who’s 8) really wanted a modern one this time. I hadn’t even seen this one until I was about to purchase another one. So glad I stumbled on it. It was exactly what she was looking for and it was on sale!Put it together in about 2.5 hours only needing help once. Everything lined up perfectly and had the necessary pieces to assemble.My daughter loves it! KidKraft is a great brand I and recommend to any of my friends looking for a Barbie house.

Very beautiful dollhouse. It’s so big that it filled up half a wall. I’m giving it 4 stars because some boards flimsy . The pool deck snapped in half the first day of play. Besides that, it’s the best doll house for the price. Came fully furnished as well. I will purchase another type in the future.

Great toy! My granddaughter loves it!! Great quality

The media could not be loaded. This dollhouse is fantastic! My 7 year old is beyond happy with it. She’s a little scaredy-cat so a lot of the time she doesn’t like to be in her room by herself but ever since she got this dollhouse, she’ll spend half the day in her room. She said she was “cuted out” because of all the accessories 😂. I’m not going to lie and act like I know how long it actually took me to put it together but it definitely took me awhile (which I expected). I didn’t mind because we were just in the house on a rainy day. Getting the pieces out of the box and accounting for everything before starting to build was a task on its own, but in order to get the kinds of deals that we’re able to get these days, this is what we have to deal with and I’m ok with it. I agree that the elevator is a nightmare however, I had an idea while I was putting it together, and I used some lubricant that came with my treadmill and it definitely helped! (The video attached is after applying the lubricant.) I would buy this again and again, and I wish I had a dollhouse like this when I was a little girl. $138 after tax for this is not bad at all! Make sure you do your measurements in the area you plan on putting it in because like some of the other reviews tell you this thing is huge.
