I purchased this house for my daughter last Christmas. She absolutely loves it. Mind you, we had purchased the 2011 Dream house the year before. She has two ! This should tell you just how much she loves them. From the elevator, to the crackling fireplace, to the singing in the shower. The doll house is filled with fun filled activities for your little Barbie girl. I found myself playing with the dollhouses with her. I also found myself playing with the dollhouses when she was at school lol. It's a excellent toy that you can join in and play with your little one. The only change I would make would be to make each room smaller and change some things up a bit. Guess what my ideas were heard and they did just that with the 2013 dollhouse. It's already been put on my daughters Christmas list and she can't wait to get it. Now she'll have 3!
