I just bought a second Savannah dollhouse, for a granddaughter that will be three in June. I bought the first Savannah dollhouse, four years ago, for a granddaughter, who will shortly turn seven. It is still the certerpiece of her room. The dollhouse still looks as if it's new, and my grandaughter still loves and plays with it. This beautiful, colorful, and very sturdy dollhouse, has stood the test of time, and has passed with flying colors. I was also surprised with the included oversized, and very sturdy furniture, that is easy to handle, and still looks great. I have more granddaughters, that will need dollhouses in the future, and I know that this one will be available, years from now. Don't hesitate to buy this dollhouse, it's a winner!

I bought this for my 8 year old daughter's birthday.It is so much nicer than the plastic ones you see.The furniture is very sturdy.The house is as tall as my daughter!I was very impressed with the quality.It did take a few hours to put together, but it's a toy she will use for years.

This dollhouse will make any little girl very happy.We are very particular and spent hours searching for the perfect dollhouse -- We definitely found it!



You will be blown away at how beautiful this is -- even prettier than the picture.



Our 3 1/2 year old is obsessed with Barbies and this dollhouse works perfectly and has plenty of room for adding furniture.She will be overwhelmed with joy this Christmas!



We purchased from Baby Age and it was deliverd in perfect condition in only 3 days.It took about two hours to assemble and is a very sturdy, high quality product.

This is a great dollhouse for the price.Trouble is, the price is cheap, and so it this dollhouse.My granddaughters love it, but it is now Christmas night and within 12 hours since they woke up, this piece of junk has fallen apart.Now that the children have gone to bed, we have taken what remains of the dollhouse apart and have Gorilla Glued thejoints that have caved in.Believe me when I tell you that doing this kind of job after the fact is multiple times more difficult than it would have been to just use Gorilla Glue while assembling it the first time.IF YOU BUY THIS DOLLHOUSE, DO NOT NEGLECT TO APPLY STRONG GLUE DURING EACH STEP OF ASSEMBLY.AND BE CAREFUL WITH GORILLA GLUE, BECAUSE IT EXPANDS WHEN IT DRIES AND WILL SHOW ON THE FINISHED PRODUCT.IF YOU DO IT WRONG, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CORRECT IT AFTER IT DRIES BECAUSE GORILLA GLUE IS EXTREMELY STRONG.



The good news it that the reinforcements are cheap and easy.Just begin assembly several days before you intend to give this to your kids, and make sure you are armed with wood glue or Gorilla Glue and small L brackets with extra screws.How I wish I had used glue and L brackets during the initial assembly!Our granddaughters' Christmas surprise was trash within hours, and they don't know why Santa brought them junk!And retrofitting reinforcements on an assembled dollhouse is a nightmare I do not want to spend time writing about.



Assembly is pretty complicated, and the pieces are numerous and not cut exactly right to fit together correctly.The 800 number to the kidkraft help line is an answering machine, and THEY DO NOT RETURN CALLS, so their offers to help are bogus.Be ready to spend several trying hours, and make sure you have at least one other patient and smart adult to help.THIS DOLLHOUSE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ASSEMBLE WITHOUT FOUR STRONG HANDS!We very wisely started assembly in our basement on December 22, which was a great decision since one of the critical support pieces shattered as we took it out of the box.We were glad to have the extra days to glue it back together and let the glue dry.Gorilla glue works wonders!We also had to reinforce it in several important places.Since we had seen a similar Kidkraft dollhouse on display at Costco, we realized that it is cheaply made, but never dreamed how bad it can get.We went into the project with extra construction supplies on hand.Even so, it fell apart before Christmas dinner started.



THIS IS A CHEAP AND FLIMSY DOLLHOUSE, but I had shopped a long time and realized that to buy a good quality one, we would have to have it custom made for $1000.00 or more.For the price it is about as good as you can expect, and the granddaughters are dazzled!By morning, it will be repaired and usable.



What REALLY bugs me is that the ad claims that it is sturdy and made of wood, which is completely misleading.IT IS NOT MADE OF WOOD, BUT IS MADE OF SOME HEAVY CARDBOARD-LIKE MATERIAL with a wood frame.Shame on Kidkraft for making this claim.It is worth the money they are charging, but the false advertising needs to go.They should name the material it is made of, and stop calling it wood.



One last word about the size - This house is HUGE and it fits dolls up to 12" tall.However, typical fashion dolls like Barbie and Ken are slightly too large to fit the furniture comfortably.It works in a pinch, but it is better for dolls a little smaller than the Barbie line.Just my opinion.



Bottom Line:Not sorry I bought it, but it is cheap - both in price and quality.I am looking for someone to custom build a REAL dollhouse to give them on another occasion.I am sure this one will be history shortly

My 4 year old daughter plays for hours with her dollhouse.I think it was well worth the money.The only complaint I have is the swing.It is not very functional, but it looks cute. The furniture is very sturdy and are good sized pieces.

This is a very large, very pretty dollhouse.The girls love it.However, in the description it does say it is made of wood, which lead me to believe that the house is made of wood.The frame of the house is, but the walls and floors are basically just cardboard and the stairs are cheap plastic.The stickers that mark the pieces for assembly rip off the decorations on the cardboard, making the house flawed from the start.I'm not sure how well this will hold up with heavy play, I would think it will only take one time of a child trying to climb into it or falling against it for the cardboard to get bent or creased or just break out all together.The furniture in the house is real wood, and very nice.The house is HUGE, my daughter is 4 and very tall and she cannot reach into the attic without a stool.So, IF the house lasts long enough, it will grow with your child.

Huge hit on Christmas morning!This dollhouse is absolutely beautiful and it's bigger and roomier than you think it's going to be - perfect for play with many Barbies, Groovy Girls, all at once.Allow two hours and two people for construction.Packaged very well so even though my box was soaked (UPS left it on my porch without plastic on a rainy day) and had a lot of damage upon arrival, the dollhouse was cozy and dry inside the packaging.Directions are a little hard to figure out at first, but after you figure out what all the symbols mean, it's pretty straight-forward.Worth the price.Absolutely top-quality product - beautifully made and impressive!I can see this being played with for many years then passed down.

Very, very nice doll house.Just as pictured.The furniture it comes with is very nice too, and well built.The only one problem I've found is with the swing.Can't get the dolls to stay in the swing unsupported.Otherwise, it's great.Wish I'd had one like it when I was a kid.(Actually, I've been known to play with it myself when my daughter is asleep.)I can't speak to how easy it is to put together, but since my 14-year-old son managed to do it in secret for me (because it was a Christmas present from Santa), it can't be too hard.

My 6 year old daughter was so happy to see this dollhouse!It is huge, easy to play with and she has enjoyed it so much.She is tall for her age and it is over her head.We like the attic and the patios.It is nice that it comes with some wood furniture.Also noticed at Target that you can buy more furniture "rooms."Make sure you compare prices-have seen quite a range
