I bought them in December 2015. My granddaughter was three years old at the time, she still plays with it. They are colorful and well painted. fit well, smooth and still look like new. A worthwhile purchase and a beautiful set. UPDATE: Here comes September 2019. They're on a bookshelf right outside my front door that my granddaughter has "decorated" with things she treasures and loves. below are these nesting dolls; and my goodness, if she's here one day, Smile will take them, carry them around, take them apart and fold them a few times, put other toys inside, and they become part of that game or activity that she's doing. I tried to send them home but apparently they live in my house for their amusement. money well spent.
