Review on KidKraft Girls Uptown Dollhouse Furniture by Rick Marie

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cute doll house with lots of furniture

Very cute doll house with lots of nice little things like furniture, terrace and a keyboard that really plays. I would give it 4 1/2 stars because the outside lights don't work so we have to contact the company. Also the way they 'organized' the gear was annoying. GOOD ADVICE. Keep a close eye on the hardware at each step, as the tops of many screws are different colors to match the dollhouse walls and frame. The instructions do NOT say this or which one to use at each step except for the common letter and the same screws are in different parts of the packaging. For example, there are screws labeled "B" but there are white tipped "B" screws in one piece and pink tipped B screws in another piece of the hardware package. We didn't realize that colors were important (we were lucky and randomly used the right colors in the beginning and then had to replace some). Also one of the walls was poorly carved so there is a small gap. Hopefully it won't be as noticeable as the dollhouse on the wall, so the light shouldn't shine through as easily. It takes two adults 2.5 to 3 hours to set up. (Some of these involved unscrewing things to use the correct color screws). Having two adults is helpful for gathering parts and finding parts while the other person gathers. All in all it looks like a great dollhouse.
