I bought this toy as a reasonably priced version for a basic doll's house set as many other doll house furniture looks lovely, but is extremely expensive and you only get one or two individual rooms. The present was for my three year old daughter, and she is extremely happy with it. Although the furniture is a little on the large side for the average doll's house (barring, presumably, the dolls house it was intended for!), it is very well crafted and very solid. You don't have to worry little bits will fall off as it's all made out of solid wood and would probably require quite a bit of strength to break it. There are some smaller pieces - for example the plates - which might be a choking hazard for little brothers and sisters roaming around, but you could easily avoid that. Most rooms are covered in some way, so even if you didn't have a doll's house a child could probably have a lot of fun just playing with it on the carpet with whatever dolls they wanted (most dolls are ok with it, at worst the furnitures a little too big). All in all, well made and good for the price, especially when taking into account the price of other doll house furniture. Probably a good one to buy if you want to test out whether your child might be interested in this type of roleplay game without spending masses on the equipment.
