All Seasons Kids Wooden Dollhouse by Hape | Award Winning 3 Story Dolls House Toy with Furniture, Accessories, Movable Stairs and Reversible Season Theme L: 23.6, W: 11.8, H: 28.9 inch

I bought this dollhouse for my daughter's fifth birthday (which is tomorrow), and I know she is going to love it. In looking online at options, this one was her favorite because of the features/design and also mine because it seemed like the best quality and value. Thus, we saved up for it. Yes, the price tag is high, but you get what you pay for--in this case, it's quality. The house looks really nice, and it’s sturdy. It comes with enough furniture/accessories to put some in each room, although you can buy add-ons to make it more complete/full.For example, in my photos, we have the add-on kids’ bedroom and dining room sets from Hape, as well as a set of kitchen accessories (bottles, boxes, dishes) from Haba, which are mostly in the fridge and cabinets, so not very visible in photos. The wardrobe in the parents’ room does have useable space, and we have the Haba doll that comes with multiple outfits, so maybe we will store her clothes in there.The topmost room is empty right now, but that’s not because there was nothing to go there. We’re going to put the add-on baby’s room from Hape there—just waiting for it to arrive in the mail. We also plan to put the Haba laundry room set in the bathroom, the Haba bunny hutch on either the balcony or the space beside the living room, and the Haba kitty in the kids’ room. By the way, Hape makes a lovely set of three pets (dog, cat, and bunny); it’s just that my daughter already has the Haba ones, and they fit well. Without the add-ons, I think I would have done the “double living room” (as shown in the manufacturer’s photos) and either and truly left the topmost room empty, as though a second balcony.Under the kitchen is some empty space, and I’ve heard that you can park the Hape car there. The Haba vet car also fits, as we verified. I also think this space will be useful for storing dolls, laid flat. We don’t have any of the Hape dolls (again, yet—who knows?!), but we have many of the Haba Little Friends Dolls, hence purchasing this house. As with the pets mentioned above, Hape’s dolls (the wooden ones shown in the manufacturer’s photos) are also perfect for this house; we just happened to have the Haba ones already. I absolutely appreciate the ability to mix/match the two lines!Assembly was not difficult. If you're not used to assembling wooden furniture, etc., it might not be easy or necessarily intuitive. However, if you look at the instructions beforehand and think it through, it's no problem. From the time I cut open the box to the time I placed the last piece of furniture, it took about an hour. That includes unwrapped (items come bubble/tissue wrapped), studying the instructions, inventorying the pieces, and so on. I'm not very "handy," so I took my time, to ensure I wouldn't make a fatal mistake. Someone else could probably assemble it faster than I did, especially with a helper.My top pieces of advice for assembly are: 1) study the instructions first, 2) make sure you have all the pieces and lay them out orderly, 3) line up all the screws in the holes before tightening any on that side (because then you won't have the problem of screws not fitting, due to misaligned holes), and 4) take the time you need to work comfortably and confidently.I cannot imagine that my daughter will not absolutely love this house, given all the anticipation and how absolutely wonderful it is. If it does disappoint her, I will update to add her comments. I also hope that I can get some better photos once the gift is actually given. Right now, it’s wedged in a corner of the basement, so I apologize if the photos are not clear enough to be helpful.In all, this is the dollhouse of dreams. Any little girl or boy would love it and get many years of enjoyment from it. It’s also definitely large enough and has enough access points that two children could easily play with it together. I’m so glad we purchased this, and I definitely recommend it. Thank you, Hape!

Both me and my two year old are thrilled with the Hape All Season Doll House. It is so fun, durable, colorful and fosters endless creativity. Honestly, I like this doll house so much that I almost want to buy another. For any girl or boy that doesn't want a Victorian style dollhouse, this should absolutely be among your top considerations.Given that this has been a popular item on Amazon, I'd like to make a few comments that I haven't seen in other reviews, and offer a couple counter points to criticisms I've read that made me cross my fingers when I first ordered this.1) The quality of the wood and wood furniture is great. Some of the seams don't come together perfectly, similar to how a prefabricated picture frame doesn't often come perfectly together in all four corners, but nonetheless it looks awesome. Definitely maintains a high end look and feel relative to many plastic and even other wooden doll houses I've come across.2) It's *super* easy to assemble! This is what had me worried a bit when I first bought it, and perhaps Hape has made some revisions to the assembly since the product first was introduced on Amazon, but it took me 10 minutes to assemble and all the parts to put it together are included. No drilling necessary as some others indicated!3) The *two* ladders are awesome, and one has a slide on half of it! My daugheter loves to send her baby Calico Critter Cats down the slide between floors. She also noticed right away that there aren't stairs between each floor, but it they did this the middle would be so cluttered that you'd have a hard time moving about between the rooms. The ladders are mobile and easy to move from one floor to the next, or you can simply jump from room to room.4) The open design is very conducive to play. The rooms are big and there is more than enough room to accommodate the furniture plus whatever dolls/critters you may have about the house5) The furniture on the box isn't necessarily what is in the box. Plus, the box shows furniture in all rooms, but only 4 rooms are pre-furnished (which is very clear on the box). The quality is outstanding. Awesome! And many of the cupboards open and shut, which is great fun. Our set included:**Bedroom set: bed, dresser, small chair, mirror, lamp, floor mat, beddings and two pillows**Bathroom set: toilet, shower, bathtub, floormat, wooden ducky, towels**Kitchen set: oven/range, coffee maker and pot, pot with lid, sink, towels, table (but no chairs), fridge**Living room set: plant, lamp, TV, fireplace, couch, loveseat, coffee table, pillowsHaving two spares rooms is also very good in my opinion. My daughter keeps her cars and airplanes on the ground floor.6) If you or your young one like to have non-traditional dolls (i.e., not human form) this set is great to work with all the Slyvanian Family or Calico Critters sets.7) The roof is removable. It doesn't screw or bolt down, but rather sets on pegs at an angle. It is very sturdy, and makes it easy to remove if you want extra movability in the top floors. Also, you can change the seasons of the roof from summer to winter theme. I don't think the reverse of the green roof is shown on the box, but can be flipped to a white/blue winter style.The only things to be careful of is (1) the style and large size of this doll house may make it tempting for a little one to scale the building like a ladder! The floors are constructed well, but surely wouldn't support the weight of a kid; and (2) there may be a very small split piece of wood here or there around where the holes were drilled for the screw assemblage, thus creating the risk of a child getting a sliver if they handle the wood frame a lot. You may need to use a fine sand paper or just remove any small splits.Again, this is such a cool doll house regardless of the price, and when considering the price it's truly a tremendous value relative to just about anything else I've seen. I really like the Calico Critters dolls for my daughter, but their doll houses, furniture, etc. are wildly expensive, plastic, small, and (in my opinion) cheap looking--having this for furniture and a larger, classier style home is a perfect combination (that will save you a ton of money!). Hape doll house isn't overly girly and promotes fun and play--I am sure many boys would like this too...I could see Cobras on one side and G.I. Joes on the other!Hope this review is helpful to one of you out there.

I gifted to my 2 year old granddaughter for Christmas. And she and all of us were delighted! It’s adorable and very well done. You have to put it together. Very easy is part of the fun! Comes with plenty of furniture doors and drawers open, pots, mini coffee machine. All made in wood. Very colorful and open enough for the little ones to play. It’s a lovely well done house.
