My daughter loved it...until all the accessories, including the stairs started continually starting to break. The vanity for Snow White snapped off completely at the mirror and I have already had to order new parts in one month! Not what I would have expected from Mattel!!
For the price I guess this Castle is OK. But my four-year-old finds it VERY frustrating to play with due to the overall quality and flimsy manufacturing. The furniture falls apart if you attempt to play with it, the refrigerator falls (along with the food inside) if you attempt to open or close its door, the bed doesn't fit where its supposed to go, the front door doesn't open/close correctly, the Cinderella doll holder at the top of the steps falls off when you try to attach the doll and a four year old has a difficult time trying to put it back on, etc. My daughter was so excited when she first saw it Christmas morning and now she doesn't even play with it because it falls apart in her hands when she tries. Its pretty to look at . . . just don't try to play with it. Overall I'm thoroughly disappointed! Mattel - you should have had it manufactured in the USA. I would have paid more for it to at least function as a toy and not an expensive bedroom decoration!
This was a gift for my daughter's fifth birthday.. she absolutely loves it! She plays with all the time. It was easy to put together, some of the pieces are a little flimsy but so far nothing has broken however I did take the time to explain to her how to open and close the front door so it wouldn't break and told she had to be careful. We've had for about 3 weeks now overall great product and worth the money
